Re: Pretty obvious that Levis > Kenny

Levis has potentially an elite level moonball. I haven’t seen so much huck and chuck since duck said fuck.

But as joe Flacco said 50 yards is 50 yards!

Really levis is a good young prospect. We’ll see if he has the kind of success Kenny has had over first twenty games

Re: Kenny Pickett's 1st 17 starts vs....

That team was loaded. Sure they were. That's why they were 6-10 in 2003, after a bizarre playoff game the year before alternating between embarassing and amazing. That team was not good....a very typical mediocre Tomlin-type team....until they got a special player at QB. So Ben takes over they run ...

Re: Kenny Pickett's 1st 17 starts vs....

That’s about what I’d expect. My guess is if you looked at 40-50 years of the same data Kenny would be above average through his first starts. I mean, let’s face it there have been some atrociously bad rookie qb seasons. Also like stosh points it’s not even fair to compare Kenny to Ben’s first start...

Re: Pickett Had A Pretty, Pretty, Prettaay Good Game!

Saying Pickett played a pretty, pretty prettaay good game is like saying the 96 you shot on Sunday was pretty, pretty prettaay good because you birdied 18.

Re: Pickett Had A Pretty, Pretty, Prettaay Good Game!

Pickett is 10-7 as a starter. It sometimes takes multiple seasons for highly touted first round qbs to get that many wins. If you say it’s not Pickett then you have to give Tomlin credit for overall team strength. If you say it’s not that then you have to give Pickett credit. I give both credit. Can...

Re: The Eternity of QB Mediocrity and the Ensuing Substandard

I’m not as concerned about the current Pickett scenario as I was about the non-Pickett scenario. That’s the one where Art2 and Tomlin in their infinite wisdom decide to roll with the cheap vet, play small ball and win with D. Wait. They did that anyway. Hard habits.

Re: Tim Benz gets a little salty towards Mike Tomlin…

Yeah Benz writes a lot to say very little.

I’m kinda sympathetic to Tomlin on this point. They were better in preseason. Quality of opponent is part of it surely. But they played the bills 1s and the other teams.

Very doubtful about Tomlin and Canada’s “plans”. But I think can and will do better

Re: KP8 Coconut Damage???

Kenny doesn’t trust his line yet. They did it almost perfectly on the TD drive. I was screaming get in shotgun (they did) then count 1-2-3 balls out. Wideouts go make a play for your qb. SF tough matchup. OL should get better. They did last season with much less. The O needs to take initiative. That...

1. OL. Even with Canada’s remedial pro offense if the o line can take over games they’ll be competitive. Also hoping they can show some explosiveness but willing to start with the basics.
