Former Steelers safety Ryan Clark is not happy with what he’s seeing in Pittsburgh, especially after yesterday’s 24-10 loss to the Cincinnati Bengals.
“It’s the end of an era, it’s an end of an era of dominance, it’s the end of an era of actually having a Super Bowl window and it’s the end of an era of having the same quarterback,” said Clark on ESPN's "Get Up" Monday.
Clark even went one step further, calling it a “total organizational failure.”
Clark, who has taken heat in the past for saying the Steelers trading their 1st round draft pick in 2019 to the Miami Dolphins for Minkah Fitzpatrick was a bad idea says that move is coming back to haunt them.
“They needed that pick, because they needed a succession plan for Ben Roethlisberger, and they didn’t and they still don’t,” said Clark.
“The best teams are able to move right into the next quarterback, the best teams that can keep competing can do that.”
Clark also points out the woes on the offensive line and being unable to come up with a viable game plan.
He goes on to say if the Steelers continue to lose in 2021, they have to come to the realization that not only are the Cleveland Browns and Baltimore Ravens better than them, so are the Bengals.
