Quote:Interesting thing about Hall of Fame Head Coach Chuck Noll his first three seasons with the Steelers was 12-30 in fact Gus Bradley would only have to get five wins to tie him this year.


When Chuck Noll went into his fourth season they won 11 games, in fact 10 or more each of the five seasons there after with two Superbowl championships which came  year six and seven.

 

What I am saying is maybe as fans in a time where we want instant gratification we are being too harsh on Gus Bradley.

I mean the season hasn't started, and yet many want to know when the owner will fire him.

 

The OLine has improved in the offseason, Dave Caldwell got Thomas in Free Agency despite injuries which happen in the NFL the team is improving... lets at least wait until preseason is over before making these types of threads.

 

I'll say this 1st -> There was no free agency in the 1970's so teams had to be patient.  The era of instant gratification came about with free agency and watching teams turn things around in a few years.

 

Here's how I feel -> This roster still sucks for the most part when looking at their potential to win in 2015.  The future looks decent once the players gain additional experience and get healthy.   That said, I honestly don't think a coaching staff of Bill Walsh, Bill Parcells, Bill Belichik, and Bill Cowher could win more than 6 games in 2015 with the current roster.  I say 4 wins this year and 7 next year.
