“The extra issues change, the extra issues keep the identical.” That’s the excellent strategy to describe the Pittsburgh Steelers. All through the franchise’s historical past, the Rooney household has owned the Steelers. Since 1969, the Steelers have had solely three head coaches. Since head coach Chuck Noll took over in 1969, the objective has been to win a Tremendous Bowl.
Regardless of the yr, the objective is a Tremendous Bowl victory, and this yr is not any totally different, based on Daniel Martin Rooney.
“Simply thrilling to usher in expertise into the Steelers so we’re able to make a Tremendous Bowl run each season,” mentioned Rooney in a June interview with Renee Washington.
The key expertise the Steelers introduced in at that time was quarterback Aaron Rodgers and extensive receiver DK Metcalf. The 2 strikes are an ideal instance of Pittsburgh’s want to win a championship yearly. Whereas some groups say the road, “We wish to win a championship yearly,” the Steelers reside it.
With Metcalf, the Steelers acquired a big-play extensive receiver who can stretch the sphere. With Rodgers, they obtained one of many best quarterbacks in NFL historical past. Certain, that is seemingly Rodgers’ final yr, and he’s bodily declining, however he’s nonetheless cerebral and able to showcasing high-level expertise.

The chances are low, however “the usual is the usual,” because the saying goes. Except Pittsburgh lifts the Lombardi Trophy, the season is failure within the eyes of the Rooneys.
Daniel Martin Rooney is the presumed successor to Artwork Rooney II. It shouldn’t be stunning to see him proceed to tote the household line that the objective yearly is a Tremendous Bowl. Nevertheless, it additionally signifies that if he does finally take over, don’t count on a lot change. In spite of everything, the usual is the usual, even when it hasn’t been reached in 16 years.
