Steelers slammed as ‘not a serious organization’ in brutal take that raises fresh questions about Pittsburgh’s direction
Pittsburgh Steelers enter 2026 with a new head coach in Mike McCarthy and a 42-year-old Aaron Rodgers playing his final NFL season. While the McCarthy-Rodgers reunion adds offensive intrigue, the franchise's inability to plan beyond Rodgers at quarterback and its pattern of 9-10 win seasons without playoff success raises real questions. The Athletic's Vic Tafur has called out Pittsburgh as not being a serious organization, and the 8.5-win projection suggests the league agrees.
