I'll now hand you over to my best man, Eddie.

Wow, wow, wow, second time's a charm, eh, Billy Boy?

Oh God.

Substitution, courtesy of Paddy Power, embarrassing Eddie, makes way for sensible Samuel.

Cool, that was close.

Welcome to the Terrible Take, a daily segment telling Steelers Nation what's on our mind. I'm Alex Kizora. Every Super Bowl becomes a reflection of what each

team should aim for. Maybe it's a little foolish or prisoner of the moment, but Seattle's Lombardi

highlights key factors. Tanking is not required to build a good roster or even find a viable

quarterback in drafting is key.

Now, Sam Darnold was the important free agent pickup, I know, but the rest of that Seahawks

roster has largely been homegrown. That included MVP Kenneth Walker, offensive player

of the year, Jackson Smith and Jigba, and defensive standouts like Devon

Witherspoon, Byron Young, and Derek Hall. What a defense Seattle assembled. Draft, develop,

and retain. That is still the model, especially for a Pittsburgh team that if they find a franchise

quarterback will probably be on a cheap contract that will

allow them to aggressively build the rest of the roster. Under Omar Khan, the Steelers have drafted

better, but not to the Seahawks level. Seattle is hitting home run after home run. At best,

Pittsburgh's hitting doubles. It's all easier said than done, and the method to follow

seems to change every few years, from offense and franchise quarterbacks during Kansas City's

dynasty to the Eagles front four last year, to the Seahawks' well-rounded homegrown roster.
