You’re right. I was more so referring to the fact that the Chiefs never took that route. We were mediocre for a long time and never bothered to risk the biscuit and take the QB and we suffered for decades. “Well if we play good defense, run the ball and get a couple lucky turnovers we have a shot at beating ______”.
You make a good point, though. The Steelers don’t
have to be terrible to find their QBotf.

Tomlin's success basically went into the dumpster the moment Rothlisberger retired.
If I had to choose, as a GM or an owner, I doubt many would pick Tomlin over Harbaugh. Tomlin will give you a non-losing season. Harbaugh will get your team into the playoffs, even with a RB playing QB. Just saying.

You’re talking about the 2012 Ravens defense? No chance in hell that was one of the best ever. It’s legit not even the best defense Baltimore has assembled in its own history.
The Ravens GM drafted Lamar. Harbaugh also didn’t revamp the offense, though I’ll give him credit for delegating and promoting Roman in order to do so and maximize Lamar’s abilities.
I feel like you’d have the opposite opinion if the Steelers GM had drafted Lamar instead.
