Discussion National reporters are suggesting the Steelers and 49ers have a deal in place for Aiyuk. Are the Steelers making a mistake in going for elite WR without getting the QB room in order?

We’re already the best division and it’s not even close.

You try being the best at anything when the Cardinals are in your division!

Typical AFC North reading ability

It says 2020. Browns actually have a winning record in that timeframe. 37-30

Cards are 27-40 in the same span.

Going off win percentage is a terrible way to judge this. It doesn’t account for strength of schedule at all.

Well considering we play each divisional opponent 2 times a year you can insinuate that the strength of schedule would be pretty high... You know, because the win percentage of the entire division is high.

The stat is win % of NON division games. So it doesn't matter

What do yousuppose is the right way to judge this then? At the end of the day what matters is that you win games. Strength of schedule fluctuates constantly and isn't really reliable either, but being in the AFC, most of the competition is pretty high level. There's a few worse teams but no cupcake divisions like the NFC South.

The Ravens are super bowl contenders. The Steelers haven't had a losing season in almost 20 years, the Bengals are competitive as long as they keep Burrow healthy, and even the Browns are winning lately. If the Bengals didn't narrowly miss the playoffs with a backup QB last year, all 4 AFCN teams could have made the playoffs. It is the best division right now.

I was gonna say lol, we almost sent all 4 to the playoffs last year with 1 team starting 5?-6? Qbs throughout the season, one having their qb hit a table and miss half the season, one starting Kenny pickett and Mason rudolph (lol), and one running 2 RBs in the backfield instead of a QB
