Pittsburgh is PROVING it Now...

Baloney. Tom Brady was drafted in the 6th round.

Let's take a look at some of today's leading passers who were not first round picks:

Trent Green--8th Round
Brett Favre--2nd round
Jake Delhomme--Not drafted
Matt Hasslebeck--6th round
Marc Bulger--6th round
Mark Brunell--5th Round
Aaron Brooks--4th Round
Tom Brady--6th Round
Drew Brees--2nd Round
Jake Plummer--2nd Round
Brad Johnson--9th Round

Yes, I realize the crem de la crem were often first rounders, but these players are no slouch.

First of all a 2nd round pick IS NOT a low pick (Favre, Plummer, Brees)
Secondly, Brooks SUCKS, so that's a bad example. The rest are good examples to proove your point. I still think Cutler is the REAL deal. I hope if he's there at #16, we take him. If not, maybe Saban has another "Tom Brady" type on his radar screen. In Saban I trust!

Actually no, they're proving why it's good to keep a corp, and not drastically change it. The only key guy they lost from last year's team was Plax, and they only signed two FAs this year, Morgan and Wilson.

Pittsburgh has been fairly consistant the last 4-5 years. They did not begin to climb to that next level till they drafted the last missing piece...Rothlesbergr!

Roethlisberger was rated considerably higher than cutler is because the only real knock on him was he played at a mid major, he had ideal size and measurables a good arm and mechanics and had he played at a big time school would have been the unquestioned top pick. Cutler on the other hand has several question marks by comparison, worst of all is this "gunslinger attitude" why some people view this absurd characteristic as a positive i will never know, Jake Plumber has just shown us why you do not want a "gunslinger" at qb because at any time a reckless play can and will cost you games!

There is gunslinger-confident and gunslinger -stupid (trying to do too much) I think Cutler is demonstrating he's the first. He, almost by himself, kept a very inferior Vandy team in many ballgames against superior competition and pulled off a couple of upsets along the way. Although he may need some work...he may turn out to be a better QB than Leinart or Young.
