Let’s be honest 1000 yard seasons at running back is not truly impressive as it once was. What is that in a 17 game season? Less than 60 yards per game average?

[@Keefer24]

Not to mention how many touches it takes him to get there.

[@Soul_snatched365]

The line has been atrocious, it seems like the team gave up once russ came in

[@georgerodgers2732]

It's a passing league. So he's the only rb who's had 4 straight 1000 yards seasons. The only rb in the NFL to do so

Bring him back.

Offensive line is NOT going to get better under Pat Meyer. They need a much bettere O-line coaching staff that can correct and develop players. They have talented players but they never develop under Pat Meyer. As long as we accepted mediocre to bad O Line play and regressing players our running game will never be good.

You don't bring back Najee. This RB class is 30 RBs deep. Ain't no amount of money Najee is worth because he is slow and there are so many young backs who could easily take his place. Goodbye Najee

[@alwaysteeler]

I’m not sure what the contract is gonna be for Naji but if we can keep Naji and Warren and get another running back late in the draft, I say let’s do it, but we’re not gonna go overboard and give Najee all that money. There’s too many good running backs coming out the draft And a lot of times running backs are make a name for their self once they get to the NFL.

[@mikehungerman7226]

The Pro Bowl used to be a true honor and showcase the NFL’s best players. The players wanted to make it, just to get to Hawaii. But they feminized the league so much that if you’re under 30 you’ve never seen real football except for highlights. That’s why these young guys have crazy opinions, like Fields is on the same level as Allen.

[@shawnv549]

The pro bowl is a joke, even players don't even want to be there and they make up an injury not to show up. That's promoting non-Probo players to come

[@EdwardSteelers]

Thank you for mentioning that I've been saying about the tight end from the beginning of the season no one ever talks about the tight ends we have good tight ends on the thing two good ones if Mike Tomlin does not trust the tight end then go out and pick one up and start using the tight end that would take a lot of pressure off of Russell Wilson and I will take a hell of a lot of pressure off of Justin fields can you imagine if he stopped using it tight ends and what disability with his legs it will be a hell of a lot better offense faster pace end of first quarter of the game we see a tight ends use and then you don't see them use for the rest of the game and they make some big plays for us I've been saying use your tight end more a pick one up that you can trust every team in the NFL right now is in the super bowl that went to the playoffs and won a playoff game they used to tight ends even the Baltimore Ravens I hate the way Pittsburgh plays on offense under Mike Tomlin

[@pittstoner1974]

Adams over those receivers mentioned.

[@MrGfunk06]

You'll be the 1st ones crying when we can't run the ball. Bring him back!

[@joshragan2782]

Let Naj walk...Try to trade GP while he has value...the Mike Hilton thing I dont necessarily mind, I just dont think he really "fixes" anything on D. Hargrave would be a homerun, I just dont know if he'll want to come. I think we def need to look to the draft for a rb to pair with warren.

[@timothybuchholz1449]

Nahee may not be the most ecplosive back in the league, but he gives you thousand yard seasons with an average o-line at best. And that's without fumbling once the entire year. imagine his production as our o-line improves over the next few years. He and jaylan are still an awesome ont-two punch.

[@SilverSteeler72]

You forgot about the pitch in the eagles game that hit him in the gut and started the landslide in that game. He doesn’t drop the pitch and who knows how that game ends up as well as the rest of that gauntlet.

[@yesdex5996]

You guys agree on everything, why have two guys, and why you say bring in another one and yes he is a great running back he was the only thing we had on offense for years and we seen what it looked like when Harris was hurt Warren fumbled you guys are crazy the Najee hate is so bad we are dumb Everybody we lose get a Super Bowl we are dumb

[@yesdex5996]

Yall said that about Pickens that he was leaving you guys can’t never say yall wrong And there were two maybe 3 receivers but two of them have rings how many we have since????

[@Keefer24]

It’s not hate, he’s just not effective. He gets 1k every year because he touches the ball more than anyone in the league. Paying him would be idiotic. Seems like you have an emotional attachment to people that don’t even know you exist 😂

[@jt5023]

Trivia: Barry Sanders & Curtis Martin are the only RB's in NFL history to run for 1,000 plus yards their 1st 10 seasons in the league. Najee is chasing greatness...even tho they did it in the 16 gm era. I get it.

[@georgerodgers2732]

@@jt5023 nobody is putting Najee Harris in the category of Barry Sanders Do you know Emmitt Smith had 900 his first year but behind one of the best offensive line in NFL history

[@georgerodgers2732]

Barry Sanders played behind a bad offensive line and had a bad qb and bad wrs. He was the offense. Maybe the greatest rb in history

[@alwaysteeler]

I wouldn’t say they benched Benny Bishop. they put him on standby to cam Sutton. He had his experience so let’s see what he can do and he did not do what we thought he would do but at the same time beanie was on the sideline looking and waiting so this year is gonna be a breakout for beanie Bishop and Cory Jr. We need to work on the defense line get some more offensive line help and see what other receiver we can get in the draft we’re building.

[@almightycherry6352]

Cory was getting torched bro it was sad hype behind him and Pierre and they got done dirty by ravens without say flowers and let bengals do us bad too

[@real-ishstraighttruthnocha1687]

I have to wonder what the Commanders are thinking after the NFC title game. They know they need a WR and there is no bonafide superstar around the 28th pick. I wonder if they'd trade their 1st for GP. He would instantly upgrade the WR core across from Scary Terry.

[@bertbutler8813]

Here's a nugget that many people might not realize. Tomlin was a wr in his playing days, maybe this is why he gives wr so much leeway? Maybe tomlin was a deva wr? Your guys thoughts??

Najee is a big part of the problem 1100 carries in 4 years and never a run over 37 yards. This does not represent a good offense.

[@jimmywilson852]

As a first round pick would you consider Najee a bust ?

[@MattSowden-c2d]

4 years of top 12 RB consistency behind below average Oline and horrible coaching. I'd say he was a solid pick but that's not to say you couldn't have gotten similar production later in the draft

[@Keefer24]

Nah I wouldn’t say bust, dude was solid for Pittsburgh.

[@johnskirtich5676]

I wouldnt .. he gets hit by 3 guys in the backfield

[@Wicked_RotF30]

It would be wise of the Steelers to hire Eric Bieniemy as the Offensive Coordinator. he is available and he was a huge part of the Chiefs elite offensive game plan when he was there. I would feel so much better about the Steelers Offense with Justin Fields and Eric Bieniemy together than Justin Fields with Arthur Smith. Arthur Smith is not a good OC. I saw enough of his offense in Atlanta, it’s not good. Please Steelers, for all that is HOLY, hire ERIC BIENIEMY as the OC!!!!

[@mgl5104]

Deonte Johnson in Pickens were together maybe it's time to scrap all of it and get new wide receivers for the squealers you need to get rid of people who act like prima donnas

The league has dumbed itself down so far it's sad. No credibility is left. The pro bowl is a massive joke. The influence that Vegas wields over the league makes me sick to my stomach

[@matthewdean3292]

I think they should let Najee Harris go. He’s definitely not worth $27 million. He just got over a little over 1000 yards this season and you know when you think about the season now it’s 18 games so 1000 yards for a running back is not good. I mean it’s it’s it’s it’s about average you know when you look at Barkley he’s got over 2000. So if we’re running back is a good running back an elite running back he’s gonna have he should be having over 1500 yards And so I am not. I’m not sold on not yet. I think patient letting him go either draft somebody or or get somebody better free agency I don’t know what the what the fix is but I’m not sold on I would I would rather see warrant Jalen Warren get a better contract than Najee Harris. I think he’s a much better running back he’s explosivea lot of times they wouldn’t they put him in the game he explodes

[@EmilliLods]

false, you can argue the steelrs shldnt bring back najee thats fine but to diminish what hes done is crazy, hes had no o line all 4 years he was here, and mentioning Barkley is a joke, the eagles have one of the best o lines and barkley is the best back in the league, 2000 yds has only been done a handful of times, barkley never sniffed 2000 yards on the giants, the team you play for matters so does the offensive line your running behind, now if you wanna say the steelers shld draft another back thats fine, and as good as warren is he aint it, he isnt a true starting rb

[@paulsinger358]

Your crazy you said 1000 yards every year with bad lines qbs gets broke in half still plays doesn’t fumble let’s get rid of him yeah warren can start play every down wait he gets hurt every year you keep Najee

[@Thisguy5]

GP is not a player that u wanna pay big money to and bc of that he gotta go. He’s a grown ass man! It’s too late for Tomlin to continue acting like his father.. That’s something he should have had as a child.. Time to move on.. and we might as well get something for him vs. letting him go for nothing.

[@shawnv549]

Harris isn't that good! What is 1,000 yd rushing in a 17 game season? I say give JF everything he needs at quarterback. Get rid of GP and trade up for another receiver add two new tackles if we can and I had a running back with size sides during the off season.
