Just a little concerned we've done so much to bolster a defense that was already top 10 and practically nothing for an offense that couldn't crack 20 points

Pickett has to take a big step or it'll be another year of 17-14 final scores

He can room at St. Vincent's with big bro

Is he a fan of her music?

I'd like to see AT Perry here. We've invested enough in the defense and Diontae/Pickens/the ghost of Allen Robinson is the weakest WR trio in our division. Add a shiny toy.

WR

I just find it amusing that people are framing this as an Artie Burns-style reach when the guy was universally considered a top 15-20 prospect. Like, yeah, nepotism probably made it a lock, but if he can play who gives a shit? Our best current player is a nepo baby.

Let me be the first to rescind all the negative things I said about the Naj first half of the year

The fact that Harbaugh is on the verge of winning 11 games with his merry go round of QBs (Lamar, Huntley and Anthony Brown) is actually damn good coaching. Like, that’s what a coach worthy of praise does. Steelers are not losing bc of their defense. This game? Maybe not. This season? Yes happened ...

If this is it, hats off to the defense for shouldering about 180% of the load this year

Tomlin in KP's headset

"Yeah, just throw it away...make it look like a pass attempt...3 points and we have them where we want them"

If you like Highsmith wait til you hear about this guy who tied the sack record last year

Muth is incredible

Just a couple of thoughts: - Big Ben was never a "game manager." :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: How about they're both game managers, or neither were, or both are clam shells with googly eyes, but either way Roethlisberger was 9:4/69.6% at 8.34YPA through his first six games while ...

=Valentino_Blake post_id=703076 It's ok to leave it at 'could potentially be good but has done nothing to indicate that he will'. That's literally what I'm doing. You're the one comparing him to Ryan Leaf after his 5th game. I genuinely don't understand why people enjoy wallowing in misery so much....

FWIW, Pickett already has more rush yds and TDs that Clausen & Leaf had in their entire careers combined . That's fantastic news for when we install the Lamar Jackson offense? I just don't get why it should be controversial to say Pickett hasn't looked good on a football field yet... because he has...

Today's Fun Kenny Pickett stat: with just 2 touchdown passes on 195 passing attempts Kenny Pickett joins Jimmy Clausen and Ryan Leaf as the only rookie QBs ever to have at least 190 passes and a TD% of 1% or lower. But, but, but... Keep twisting yourselves into knots to defend this guy's 'potential...

Exactly. Nobody expects Pickett to become another Roethlisberger. Nobody. Ben will go down as one of the greatest QB's in NFL history. I'm hoping Kenny ends up a little better than Kirk Cousins and I honestly think he can get to that level. ...but Ben had a much, much, much fucking better supportin...

I'm less concerned with whether Rookie Ben or Kenny qualify as game managers and more with how they actually performed in their given role. Ben only topped 25 attempts once as a rookie (on a team and in an era of football that could facilitate that) but had six multi-touchdown games, with many of th...

We should totally emulate that franchise that fucked up a generational QB so badly he decided to retire at 28. In the sense that they're attempting to find solutions to problems that exist, yes But if you prefer the cover your ears and hope everything sorts itself out approach, I suppose you've hit...

https://www.espn.com/nfl/story/_/id/34924228/indianapolis-colts-fire-offensive-coordinator-marcus-brady Awful team, of course - outside of one 34-point explosion they're averaging fewer PPG than us - but still 3-4-1 and very much alive in the playoff race. Between benching Ryan and this move, credit...

I could see Minkah having two pick-sixes in one game.

Then you probably only need a special teams touchdown on top of that and the offense can do the rest,

Finally a reason for positivity on Steelerfury today.

It's pretty funny. Now that I'm watching Pickett and Trubs throw some really shit interceptions, I'm reevaluating a l ot of what I used think were shit interceptions by Ben. Ben's arm and ball placement were fucking unreal. Yes, he threw pics, but even a lot of his pics look better than most of thi...

Just to poke another hole in the making excuses for Najee side of things...I'll admit that my method of offensive line evaluation is "listen to what people smarter than me have to say about it", but from what I understand most analytic sites have us ranked more towards the middle of the pack this ye...

When you look up "QB Purgatory" on Wikipedia, it has a picture of Kirk Cousins. Fantasy QB extraordinaire, soul-crushing performance in big games. That's worse than bombing out, by far... simply because it teases you more, hurts more because your expectations are raised, and (worst of all) because ...

if you think Kirk Cousins on a $2M/year contract would be a bad thing for the organization, i don’t know what to say.

I know diehard football types have an undying hate boner for him, but if Pickett can become an annual 4,000/25+ passer like the Captain I'd personally consider that a win.

Can we just say the offense is doing him no favors and the sample size isn't large enough to pass judgment yet, but Pickett's still looked pretty bad? Why is that controversial? The guy doesn't need every excuse made for him when any UDFA (or Mitch Trubisky) throwing for 2:7 would be run out of town...

The Najee secret injury narrative is wishful thinking. This isn't some massive dropoff from last year, this is who he is. He crept his way to 3.9ypc last year while only hitting 4.0 in 6/17 games, almost all of which were games where he wore down the defense with 20+ carries and broke some big runs ...

Call me crazy but I thought we just punted down two scores with 4 minutes left

It's bizarre to me that the other Pittsburgh sports franchises have taken to following the Pirates' lead, but here we are.

"There's always next season" in perpetuity.

Man, it says a lot about where we are as Steelers fans that we're debating if Trubisky made the right reads on a day where if everything goes right out offense might have scored an additional 7 points. Or praying our middling QB draft prospect can deliver us salvation. Other teams are trying to make...
