'"I'd say disappointment but not a disaster," Whaley said. "I was a Pittsburgh Pirate fan so I understand the long-suffering playoff drought. But if you strip the 16 seasons away and the logo off the helmet, you have a team with the possibility and I stress possibility of the quarterback in the future. You have a No. 1-rated rushing offense. You have a lot of talent on offense. And offensively, you went from 28th to 13th so you have to give great credit to the offensive coordinator Greg Roman. I personally don't understand why people think I wouldn't be happy with that. Anybody should be happy with somebody who can take a first-year quarterback — a former sixth-round quarterback — and get him to lead an offense that's in the Top 15. I think it's 12th this year."'
