Todd Haley is the "Mystery of Pittsburgh"
Interesting read.

And what a crock of shit that Haley's team never looked like a real team. With Tyler Palko at QB, the team was completely outmatched. Despite that, I have never seen the team work harder in the past 10 years than what I saw during a few games during that stretch. The team was magnificent in the Steelers game (but that only goes so far behind Tyler Palko). You are absolutely clueless if you don't see the enormous different in toughness and attitude vs. what we saw through most of the Haley era. |

Once Haley was gone this team looked completely different last year. Why that hasn't translated to this year I don't know...

The offense was light years better because Orton was miles better than Palko and much better than Cassel. All RAC did was take a Haley-disciplined team, install a new QB, and take advantage of a team on the rebound from the last head coach. You're just as naive as Scott Pioli. Maybe you are Scott Pioli. The smart fans realized that the uptick was because of the QB. You and Scott Pioli wrongly believe that the uptick was because of the head coach. We're seeing this year just how unbelievably comical that reaction is. |

Naive is thinking that Haley was actually a good HC.

Buffalo blew us the **** out last year and we looked like we did last Sunday. Haley was our coach then. No difference, the team wasn't tough and their attitude sucked then too Posted via Mobile Device |

I think we are forgetting how hard our team played against New England, Pittsburhg, and Chicago. But there was one guy on the field, Tyler Palko, who tried really hard but just had zero talent to get anything done. Which again brings me to my original point. YOu take Todd Haley's team from last year, plug in a REAL QB... are you going to tell me this team wouldn't be dangerous? |

This is the problem. The talent we have is being misused (Haley/Herm/Romeo) and with the draft position we've been in we should also have better players. GM/HC FAIL...

The only game where there was zero excuse not to start Orton was against Chicago. And he ended up getting plugged in by the second quarter.
But glad you're basing your entire argument around that 1 quarter that would have magically turned Haley's season around. The question shouldn't be why Haley didn't start Orton way too soon or to rush him back from a dislocated finger. The question should be why the **** did it take 2.5 years for Pioli to bring in a competitive QB option? |
