Some Steelers fans pushing for Tomlin’s firing

QB drafting and development hasn't ever been Tomlins strength. Kenny Picket, Mason Rudolph, Josh Dobbs... he hasn't been able to develop a QB ever. Roethlisberger was drafted and developed by Cowher and not Tomlins. Great defensive mind and was able to stay competitive in a meah division (Cleveland, Raven & Cincy). We need a HC who can spot and develop QB talent. However, that might be a unicorn...

I think this is more draft luck than development. Roesthlisberger was a unit coming out of college. Lamar Jackson, Allen, Mahomes, etc. Its the luck of the draw. If you get a great QB coaching becomes considerably easier. The mark of a great coach in today's NFL is someone who can do what Tomlin does while consistently drafting in the back half of the draft. He's taken the draft equivalent of taking a flier on QBs with a late first, 3rd rounder, and a 4th rounder. The odds of finding a franchise QB outside the top 10 are slim. Tomlin doesn't draft in the top 10, LOL. Once in 18 years, and that pick was #10. I bet Tomlin can spot and QB just fine. Being in position to take a good one is the problem.
