    The 2024 Steelers have TREMENDOUSLY improved from the 2023 Steelers. The Offense is the most improved in the NFL and will be Top 10. The QB Room has Drastically Improved with RW3 and JF2 being the best back up in the NFL. RW3 threw 26 TD's and 8 INTS and had a bad year compared to the Steelers 13 TD and 13 INTS. I can see RW3 30TD and 5 INTS and 3500YDS and 67% completion rate in Arthurs Smith's offense. The Offense finally has a legitimate and Bonafide Offensive Coordinator with a proven offensive system and scheme. Importantly he has stated that his already successful offensive system and scheme has evolved into the point where it will incorporate and utilize the speed of the WR Room: Roman Wilson (4.39), Quez Watkins (4.35), Scotty Miller (4.39), and CAIII (4.32) all with 4.3 Speed. The Running game will start game 1 of the season rushing for 150 yards or more versus getting it going week 9 of the 2 previous seasons. In addition, the offense has proven weapons: Pickens, Muth, Najee, Warren, and Patterson. I look for Darnell Washington to have a breakout year! Najee and Jaylen will rush for 1000 Yds. The Offensive Line Has Systematically Improved with the additions of Troy Fautanu, Zach Frazier, and Mason McCormick who can play Guard and Center which adds quality depth to the OL. McCormick would be a starter on most NFL teams. The Defense will be TOP 5 With the addition of Patrick Queen and Payton Wilson we have two athletic ILB's that can play sideline to sideline and cover TE's and RB's which the Steelers hasn't had since Ryan Shazier! Also, the addition of SS Elliott improves the Steeler 3 Safety Package Scheme that they employ 25% of the time. This will allow Minkah to be the Ball Hawk he is. Beanie Bishop at the SLCB and the resigning of Cam Sutton provide Depth at SCLB and CB2 or CB3 as Donte Jackson brings his 4.3 to the Secondary with JPJ taking the second year Leap! The CB room has quality potential that is untested depth with Darius Rush, Cory Trice, Ryan Watts all between 6"'2" and 6'3" and 200lbs + with 4.4 speed plays with physicality. This is a classic Tomlin's CB Room. KEY Point Payton Wilson hasn't had an injury since 2021! To finalize the Roster, I would sign Calias Campbell to help the DL. I am looking for Benton to take the leap in year 2. And to add quality depth I would resign Kwon Alexander ILB, Golden OLB, and Eric Rowe S all play very well for the Steelers Last year. Courtland Sutton and Simmons would be luxury Trade and signings, but I would pursue them. The Steelers own the Ravens and have beaten them 7 of the last 8. LJ8 has his worse QB passer rating versus the Steelers at 67.4 with 6td and 7ints and 20 Sacks and 1-3 record. Watson has never beaten the Steelers he is 0-2. Burrel Dominates the Steelers but we did have a 4 INT Game versus him in the Season opener in 2022. But with the additions on Defense, I think the Steelers will contain him and slow him down enough to let RW3 Cook! Key Point All Three QB's have injury history: LJ8, Watson, and Burrell and the Backups are average, but the Steelers have Justin Fields as their Back Up! The 2024 Steelers win 12 Games and win the AFC North and make it to the AFC Championship. Steelers were 5-1 in the Division in 2023.

    Good stuff. You’ll get the name. I am betting we will get a high quality receiver soon. We simply cannot go into the season with these guys. If Pickens goes down, we are hosed and teams will hammer us because they won’t respect our passing game. You can’t be one dimensional in this league and think you will make the playoffs.

    The chiefs won a Superbowl with no good receivers except Kelcey so it's possible just need a Patrick Mahomes

    I’ve basically saying the same thing as you, and I agree let Omar cook. We need to be patient. Omar has not let us down yet.

    Thanks Matt . Still got to get a wide receiver, at least a good one. I can see a decision coming later on then right now. Get the spelling right and it plays mind games with pronunciation. Say the name right and get the spelling wrong. Funny but tricky. Great show Matt !

    If Myron Cope could correctly pronounce Chris Fuamatu-Ma'afala's name, you can definitely master pronouncing Fautanu's. In Polynesian transliterations, each vowel is its own syllable, pronounced on its own, unless proceeded by a consonant. Apostrophes indicate a syllable break. Don't beat yourself up too much, every language has its own phonetic rules when written in the Roman alphabet and they all take a little practice to master.

    I think there's been a significant upgrade at QB, either way. Improving the most important position on a 10 win team, nets 7.5 wins? That's crazy to me. Does anyone think that Tomlin actually allows his best players to start week 1? If not, not a chance in heck I'd extend him.

    Fautanu sounds very similar to Polamalu if that helps. It helped me.

    There’s absolutely no way that our wide receiver group is worse. We have increased the talent in that position room immensely just because we lost. yes we lost one wide receiver who was better at running the other direction and really had no ability of scoring a touchdown yeah get rid of him all day long. just because the players we got aren’t high profile names. That’s what the Steelers are good at. Nobody had any idea who Antonio Brown was or Holmes, Ward, and that’s just to list a few there’s a lot more.

    The Steelers having the toughest schedule ticks me off. They weren't a division winner, haven't won the division in a couple years now. I know it's said they are made up years in advance?? You notice how these teams go on these dynasty type runs, notice the division they're in , patriots for example afc east was a cake walk to a #1 seed for yrs. Chiefs going through same thing right now afc West is pretty weak. Not the Steelers dynasty back in the day afc central/north has always been tough. The Steelers being a lot of butts to seat's, and eyeballs to the television , and networks/league love those 1 score games. So how is it determined years in advance anyway
