All valid, but do you think a good leader tolerates all the BS locker room drama that's been festering underneath for as long as it did?
people want to immediately give him credit for "handling" that drama for years, but he didn't handle shit, he didn't have the hard conversations that led to any line in the sand.
At least Staley benched a few under performing guys and exiled a headcase in JCJ once he committed the football sin of refusing to play.
not trying to argue that Staley is better by any means, but instead I'm suggesting the general narrative around Tomlin being a leader is off. Even when he had the killer Bs, he didn't come through, but now he gets the pass because he doesn't have a qb..okay.

generally no, and i agreed that it sounds troubling. that doesn't make him like Staley. I don't think tolerating locker room drama was Staley's big problem. I've never been a huge Tomlin fan, I didn't endorse him for LAC - he seems to ride along to me who could let BS fester in an org - though who really knows. But that wasn't BS's problem. The lockerroom festering didn't start until after it was obvious he was a failure, not until near the end really.

I don't want either, it doesn't matter how they get categorized and filed in posterity to me.

Didn't bench AB and isn't benching Pickens.

He can be a not-great coach and still not be the same as Staley. There's lots of ways to suck. I think Staley would have fired his mom to save his job, personally.

Lol, maybe.
I still don't think Tomlin is getting fired. Pittsburgh don't fire their HCs.

With CJ Stroud missing games, Puka Nucua is emerging as the favorite to win OROY. This has to weighing on QJ's mind. You are the 1st round pick of your team, the 2nd WR taken. The other team in your city, whom you share a stadium with, picks a WR with the last pick of the 5th round, the 20th WR taken, and he's going to win OROY while everybody is talking about you being a possible bust.

Did the Titans intentionally blow the SEA game to keep the lower draft pick? I didn't watch the 4th q.

No, I think the Seahawks wanted the the game more. They sacked Tannehill twice on his last posession.

Jets win. Move up to 6 wins. Nice.

[Leslie Grossman]

Bears and Jets win firmly entrenching the Chargers in the 6 hole.
If picking there 2 of Fashanu, Alt, Bowers, or (Jayden Daniels trade down) will be on the board.
Lots of scenarios to explore.

[Ghost of Quacksaw]

The Broncos lost to the Patriots?

In the final seconds?!?

Baaaahahahahahahaha!

[Leslie Grossman]

Patriots cost themselves the 2nd QB picked me thinks with the win. Commanders go QB and make Howell the backup.
Maybe it will work out for them a la the Texans?
