Did Cowher get lucky with Rothlesberger? Did Bill get lucky with Brady? Dungy with Manning? Walsh with Montana? Coughlin with Eli?
I don't really see how that is getting lucky?

Oh I get you, and think I was clear. The 90s with a true franchise QB would be awesome, but they weren't with a true franchise QB.
I think everyone of those picks were lucky/risky except Peyton Manning, and Andrew Luck this last year. Guarantees don't come along very often.
But you can't get lucky and hit on a franchise QB like that if you don't try, and that has been this team's problem. 30 years without trying or taking a risk. They have preferred to trade away picks for a mediocre guarantee.
They needed to sell tickets, and build a 10-6 team to sell those tickets after the terrible 70s and 80s, and they did.
I noticed you haven't commented about the obvious burn out that Cowher had gone through. What do you think about that? Has he recovered?
