PITTSBURGH — I get the anger about Mike Tomlin's refusal to fire Matt Canada during this open week. And I understand why Canada is the subject of so much criticism among fans and media.
Canada's offense has been among the worst in the NFL in scoring and production over the last two years. It is hard to watch, and the Steelers don't seem to have an identity. And it hasn't helped that we've heard NFL analyst after NFL analyst remark about the fact that the scheme doesn't look like an NFL offense.
And it has not worked for three different quarterbacks — actually four, if you count Mason Rudolph's disaster of a start against Detroit last season. None of the quarterbacks have made it work well, and that includes Ben Roethlisberger, one of the two greatest quarterbacks in franchise history.
