Frequently asked questions:

Q How was it decided which players would be listed?

A All of the players (With the exception of a few) listed were honored with either an All Pro or Pro Bowl selection at least once in their career as a Steeler.

Q Why aren't the Steeler Hall of Famers listed on the poll?

A In fact the Hall of Famers have received a Bye during the first round portion of this poll. There are 13 players who are in the Hall of fame. Additionally, we added 2 players who are not in the Hall of Fame as yet. Both of them are locks to eventually be inducted into the Hall. They are Rod Woodson and Dermontti Dawson.
 
CB Rod Woodson
C Dermontti Dawson
Walt Kiesling
Bobby Layne
Ernie Stautner
Joe Greene
John Henry Johnson
Jack Ham
Mel Blount
Terry Bradshaw
Franco Harris
Jack Lambert
Mike Webster
Lynn Swann
John Stallworth

The above named 15 players will be matched against the winners of the current poll. There are 16 polls involved. Each of the 16 poll winners will move on to the next round. To fill out a new poll that will include a total of 32 players we will also need to include one player who has not won their poll. The player who has the most votes but did not win their poll.

Example:
In poll number one the following players are listed as the choices. 
DE L.C. Greenwood
G Duval Love
LB David Little
E Elbie Nickel

 If Greenwood gets the most votes he will move on to the next round. However, lets say that  Elbie Nickel was second in the poll while getting a large number of votes. His votes will then be matched against all the other second place players. The one who has the most votes will move on to the next round of voting.

Q What will happen from there?

A From that point there will be 32 players involved. The voting will continue and be just like a single elimination tournament. The 32 players will be voted down to 16, 8, 4, and 2.

With the 2 remaining players there will be a showdown to find out who was the best Steeler of all time.

 Q Since I am only permitted to vote once can I sent my friends to the site to vote.

A By all means please do. You can email your friends the following URL. It will direct them to this page.
