Even with all the hype surrounding the Steelers this offseason; Todd Haley, Ben Roethlisberger, Free Agency, who’s running the team, the Steelers are not in any worse shape than they are in any other year organizationally speaking. Sure they are working their way out of a tricky salary cap situation but it’s not as hopeless as it was made out to be initially. The front office 
knows exactly what they’re doing with player contracts, the draft, and pretty much everything else that involves running the franchise.
For some reason there is this notion that this offseason is so much different than previous years, that the Steelers are somehow potentially in trouble in the future with the salary cap. The Rooney’s and Kevin Colbert have not steered us wrong in the past so we shouldn’t be worried now about how things are going now. Every year no matter what the cap is, no matter who leaves or comes into the franchise, they always field a competitive team with a solid coaching staff. Ok, I know the whole Bruce Arians thing is debatable but we’ve beaten that horse long enough.
remaining quiet and letting others do the talking, but I’m starting to think the silence of one Mike Tomlin does not share the positive nature of those I speak. It has been over a month now since the Pittsburgh Steelers lost in the AFC Playoffs in Denver and while there has been much to discuss, the leader of the Black ‘n Gold remains strangely silent and I don’t think it’s a good thing.
something we’re used to seeing from one of the most respected teams in all of sports. We’ve heard everything from Art II isn’t getting along with Mike Tomlin, to Ben Roethlisberger wanting to beat down the door of the team president himself demanding answers, and everything in between. Talk shows are going crazy with fans calling in saying Ben should do this, Rooney should do that, where is Mike Tomlin, you name it and we’ve heard it. Let’s face it, we Steelers fans aren’t used to so much discord. We may not always agree with what the team does in terms of personnel, play calling, or what have you but we took solace in the fact that Steelers ownership always had things well under control.
