  • Last of the Killer Bees

    You have over time become my favorite Steelers Podcast. Loved that you acknowledged Chris Boswell’s contribution to our last Playoff win, along with his status being the only current Steeler player with claim to that fame.

    I used to get upset when the “Killer Bee” status was only attributed to Ben, Brown and Bell.

    What about the great Defensive lineman that Cam Heyward replaced?

    BRETT KEISEL? He recovered Lamar Woodley’s forced fumble to seal the win in Super Bowl 43.

    I would love to see the ret... more

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

What about linebacker?
Q: Today's J1Q comes from Mark Brophy, who says that he sees no sense in quote, wasting, and quote, a year. He prefers to waste an entire decade or more chasing the Steelers' own tail in the middle of the NFL hierarchy.
The host pushes back on the idea of a prolonged, aimless rebuild, emphasizing that the goal is to improve the team strategically through a mix of drafting, development, and measured roster moves, with attention to the quarterback timeline as a core piece of the plan.
What of Roman?
Q: DK, draft question. It's the third round. The Steelers have picked a wide receiver and an offensive lineman with their top two picks. Only one quarterback has been drafted in Fernando Mendoza.
The host considers multiple scenarios, suggesting the Steelers may not chase a quarterback early and instead focus on building around a potential future franchise QB in 2027, weighing the depth at wide receiver and the value of offensive linemen.
The 2027 plan
Q: What are the chances that a 43-year-old quarterback stays relatively healthy again over a full season?
The host suggests that health is uncertain but emphasizes evaluating a future franchise quarterback by playing more than one option and seeing how they perform through a full season, including training camp and preseason contexts.
What's the goal?
Q: Today's J1Q comes from John, but it could have come from any number, hundreds of people. Did not appreciate the opening to yesterday's Daily Shot of Steelers that was about, principally anyway, Fernando Mendoza announcing that he's not going to attend the NFL Draft.
The host acknowledges the critique, explains why Mendoza was used as a lead-in, and ultimately expresses that the focus should be on the broader issues surrounding the draft rather than on the individual's attendance or absence.
What would be the Steelers' QB bailout plan?
Q: What do you think it would cost to bring back Aaron Rodgers? What should the Steelers offer? And do you think that he would accept last year's rate?
The host suggests Rodgers would likely be looking at around $10 million per year in a return, with little negotiating room beyond that; otherwise, it would be odd if he demanded a much larger package. The answer indicates Rodgers would plausibly return to the NFL with Pittsburgh as the most viable option, but overall the price tag remains a major factor in any potential decision.
