Red Hot Steelers Takes

Steelers 2026 Draft Grades What did you do Omar? x.com/i/broadcasts/1…

@AuthorDWC @sombrrrr @conkanen and the rest of Steelers X hope to see you there tonight!

Tonight at 6:30 @PGHChristv and I put out Steelers 2026 Draft Grades What did you do Omar? youtube.com/live/JjGRxDN04… via @YouTube

@shine2real4u Tommy Maddox gave us the biggest thrill between Bradshaw and Ben and made Renegade a thing

Think about this, take away Ben and Kordell Stewart what name pops up next as far as notable quarterbacks on the Steelers in the last 35 years?

@SCityNATION412 Dowdle Warren Heidenreich Johnson probably doesn’t get cut but barring injury don’t see him getting a helmet

So here is the current Steelers RB room. Who stays, who goes? Rico Dowdle Max Hurleman Kaleb Johnson Lew Nichols Jaylen Warren Travis Homer Eli Heidenreich

@SteelerSanc16 This was the worst of the bunch and I red hot hate the Allar pick

Drafting Wetjen in the fourth round is wild man #Steelers

@ASaunders_PGH The moves keep getting more bizarre. If you don’t trade up for Bernard, you can pick Skyler Bell and Kyle Louis or package for Darrell Jackson Omar and Andy have been very good the last three drafts, trying to have faith but they are making it hard

I really liked Wetjen at the Shrine Bowl. He hasn't actually played very much WR. Mostly just a KR and gadget guy, but he really impressed me with his ability to get open in underneath areas. I mocked him to the #Steelers ... in the seventh round.

#Steelers take Iowa WR/KR Kaden Wetjen with pick No. 121. That's over 100 picks ahead of his consensus.

Not defending Allar, but Howard had a truck load of weapons, Allar never had the talent Ohio state had.

If you didn’t trade up for Bernard you would have pick 135 could have gotten Kyle Louis and Skyler Bell Instead we took the best return guy in the draft who is exciting no doubt but trading 2 starters for a special teamer?

I like Kaden Wetjen a lot but at 121? Skyler Bell made sense here This feels like a too cute by half draft What can I say but at least it’s not Drew Allar

@H_Williams91 @BaddestBearJew @thomasjdavis34 Me too. He is in black and gold now and once that happens I root for the boys for better or worse

@thebubbasq @BaddestBearJew @thomasjdavis34 I think the right coaching staff can get a lot out of him. Could be wrong, but obviously I hope I'm right lol

Many people don’t like the Drew Allar and that’s perfectly fine. • Fantastic arm; something we haven’t had in a very, very long time. • Effortless touch. • Far better athlete than people think. The upside is very, very high and I’m beyond excited for Mike McCarthy, Brian Angelico and Tom Arth to work with him (Big Mac is a great QB developer and Brian Angelico learned under KOC). There’s some stuff to clean up, but IF he can develop properly the upside is remarkably high.

You like to renegotiate as you go along Baker Mayfield, Sam Darnold, Geno Smith were not choke artists they were borderline busts who on 3rd and 4th chances turned it around Guys who choke don’t have career renaissances. Peyton Manning is a bad example, he couldn’t beat Brady and played well in those games You could classify the loss to the Steelers in 05 as a choke but it was 1 game.

@thebubbasq @craftydemon09 @BaddestBearJew @thomasjdavis34 Being a bust and then recovering is significantly more impressive than being someone who chokes and then breaking through anyway. And if you want a real choke artist, Peyton Manning was notorious for bad big game performances before breaking through. It happens

@ManGotNoMaidens @craftydemon09 @BaddestBearJew @thomasjdavis34 Wouldn’t call him a choke artist he lost 1 brutal playoff game with Vikings where he was sacked ridiculously other wise he was borderline bust. He didn’t choke he sucked and turned his career around big difference

@thebubbasq @craftydemon09 @BaddestBearJew @thomasjdavis34 Sam Darnold

@H_Williams91 @BaddestBearJew @thomasjdavis34 I guess we have to hope so. But a lot working against him

@thebubbasq @BaddestBearJew @thomasjdavis34 James Franklin coached him not to trust the deep ball or to trust his receivers to make a play. Believe me, I watched this kid for four years, every snap. His failures are on the coaching staff.

@H_Williams91 @BaddestBearJew @thomasjdavis34 And Franklin threw the puck against Notre Dame?

@thebubbasq @BaddestBearJew @thomasjdavis34 James Franklin ain't his coach anymore

@ManGotNoMaidens @craftydemon09 @BaddestBearJew @thomasjdavis34 Name one

@thebubbasq @craftydemon09 @BaddestBearJew @thomasjdavis34 There are people who choke in the NFL and turned it around. This is a trash take

@craftydemon09 @BaddestBearJew @thomasjdavis34

@thebubbasq @BaddestBearJew @thomasjdavis34 Uh... yes? A guy who was 21 years old probably will grow up!
