Clearly Watt is the best defensive player ever and has single-highhandedly carried the Steelers to multiple playoff victories over the past 2 seasons. Pittsburgh is obviously the better franchise and made a move to acquire Minkah Fitzpatrick that many lamented Dallas for not making this year and Fitzpatrick along with Watt propelled them through the playoffs and to a Superbowl victory.

I honestly thought it was mostly his knees. I was terrified of them given our luck with injury risks

Yes who could? OK well, I assume you are talking about Watt? Again, his problem was his inability to come off the ball from a 3 point stance. He's much better when he rushes from the stand up position. Quinn can bend the edge. He is much better at coming off the corner from the three point stance, which is why he can play edge rush from the DE in a 43.

Yes I was talking about Watt! Watt can rush from the 3 point stance and bend the edge, your terminology BUT if he rushed in a 4-3 defense from a 2 point stance who cares if he gets to the QB.
Watt is every bit as good a 4-3 end as Quin, actually he is better. Watt plays the run from the edge better than Quinn.

100% true. Now what?

The obsession with Watt on this board is absurd. He's a really good player, but not someone worth rueing every day.

Watt is one of the top 5-6 pass rushers in the league and he is flexible. He can play in a 4-3 or a 3-4. His flexibility and ability make him more valuable than just about every pass rusher. That’s how good he is!!!

3-4 vs 4-3 doesn't matter. He's a very good edge player.

He's still wildly overrated.

Not sure if you noticed, but they were missing their HOF QB and playing scrubs.........might have had more to do with it than their all-pro defenders. But that's an interesting take dude.

The point is it takes more than one single player for team success as evidence of your own statement that their team was missing other players. Teams miss on drafting players all the time, they just have to hit on more than they miss to be successful. It is a waste of time to rue losing one single player for years(not you, but others). You just have to keep moving forward. And sure, Pittsburgh was missing their QB in 2019, but they had him in 2018 and still missed the playoffs. The Steelers have yet to win a playoff game with T.J. Watt on the squad. Because typically no one single player is enough of a game changer to single-handidly carry a team. Yet, the way people talk him up it is as if he has led Pittsburgh to great success since being drafted in 2017. Some posters crying for 3 years about not drafting this guy is hilarious. He could have been a Cowboy last season and Dallas could have still missed the playoffs. Heck, they probably would have still missed the playoffs. They weren't a team that was one single player away winning a Superbowl.

They didn't have Minkah Fitspatrick in 2018 and TJ Watt took a big step forward last year. It sets the team back a lot when first round picks don't work out more than any other round. The DL is feeling the effects of drafting guys like taco and randy Gregory. TJ Watt was a complete misevaluation and its well documented that Marinelli didn't consider him a DE. Bad call.

No, he really can't rush from the down position. Quinn can and that's why he's a DE. Watt it certainly better against the run but from the DE position, he doesn't set the edge very well. Doesn't matter, he's not a DE and he's not an option. I guess we can argue this till Cows come home but doesn't matter.

Isn't it time to let go of this? We know it turned out to be a mistake - it was a bad move by the team. Is there really anything else to say?
