I think that he probably needed a reset.

In the same way that the Steelers desperately needed one also.

You know, we talk about cycles in life, whether they're cycles of abuse or addiction in life and in your personal life.

The Pittsburgh Steelers have been mired in the cycle of nine and eight and of ten and seven for way too long.

where it reaches the point where in like in life and in sports right like life and sports are not checkers it's not like what's right in front of me like let's let's get to the playoffs this year like sometimes in life and in sports you can make the conscious decision to take a step back knowing that two or three moves down the board you can checkmate and you can win

I think that this, honestly, I think it's short-sighted by the Steelers to go, we need to compete every single year, has left them in a spot where you are in football purgatory.

where you're never bad enough to bottom out and get a great quarterback, and you're not also good enough to truly compete to win a Super Bowl championship.

The cycle and the curse of 9-8 and 10-7.

And that's what this was going to be moving forward.

Look at this quarterback class.

Dante Moore's coming back.

Mendoza's going first.

You're going to take Ty Simpson, and Ty Simpson couldn't beat Indiana.

Ty Simpson's going to beat the Ravens?

Like, that's what this is going to be?

Is Rodgers coming back?

Is it Mason Rudolph?

Do you trust Mike Tomlin to even get the quarterback right?

Like, what's the upside for the 26 Steelers if Mike Tomlin comes back?

So I actually think this is a great opportunity for the Steelers to also hit the reset button.
