Pickett To Start Sunday Against Eagles

[LakecrestSteeler]

Make sure to send your love to KP as he faces the Eagles on Sunday.

Even the haters here should be sending love for his success as it is just another nail in Tomlin’s coaching coffin!

My Personal Take On Transpired Events:
1.) Steelers Organization removes personnel development from their charter.
2.) Tomlin hires the worst Offensive Coordinator in the history of NFL.
3.) Steelers delude themselves into thinking they can develop a QB in the worst offense in the world.
4.) Kenny Pickett impresses when he finally starts and runs Tomlin ball perfectly.
5.) Steelers discover they need to score to actually win in today’s NFL.
6.) Tomlin forced to fire Canada.
7.) Pickett finally gets starting role again post Canada firing and drives the team down to the 3 yard line and is injured.
8.) Tomlin pretends he knows what he is doing and embarks on recruiting recycled QBs as a path to NHALS preservation and abandons the Pitt phenomenon altogether. Tomlin decides to send Kenny packing so he can clean-up his embarrassment of a coaching hire and split the blame among his draft pick, coaching hire and abandonment of personnel development.
9.) Pickett destroys Eagles as a Raider and gets Tomlin fired on Monday???

Dude I had two raging Mason Rudolph truthers going at it in a thread I was tagged in on X. They are ston-cold convinced that he should be starting over Rodgers and that he'd be a 10-year top 15 starter if he could just go to a good org who would treat him fairly.

Must have been his grand parents.

Because if he were to have a career game against the Eagles, the boo birds would be extra extra irritable with Tomlin’s handling of capital, draft picks, personnel and contracts and may let it rain on Monday night!

It is definitely Steeler related only in that narrow sense.

its not, he's moved onto 3 more teams since it was important - let the little ken truthers take a few weeks off

With 4 teams in 4 years, Kenny Pickett is well on pace to break the NFL record for # of teams (10). Might be some controversy over whether they count CLE or not.

We've come a long ways from that Preseason HOF jacket.

The sad thing is that our front office actually thought KP was a 1st rounder.

And fuck Colbert for his “I can’t leave the team without a QB” bullshit.

We still don’t have a QB.

Not sure who to blame more for that pick. Colbert, Jibbs, or Dunce.

Most likely the 3 together pulled the trigger on that stupid pick.

But but but he went to Pitt we can’t miss out on a Pitt QB like we did with Marino.

This team is sooooooo dumb right now.

Odd sequence of events that wreaked of desperation. Did Tomlin really not want to develop a QB, or was that an intentional smokescreen? Did they really like Pickett, or did Colbert just decide to roll the dice? And if they liked Pickett that much, how did they decide to wait that long without moving up even a few spots?

The hubris to just decide solving the QB problem was a simple as drafting a QB in the first round of a horrid draft for QBs. Colbert pats himself on the back for mission accomplished before the kid even takes an NFL snap.

[langer]

Well, you know, he looks like the Justin Herbert type, if you will.

And they talked to him a lot on the South SIde.

On another team with a QB whisperer, or even a coach that gave a shit about player development, he might have done ok.

BUT NOOOO.

For those of you that can’t let this man go, watch this video.

Try watching it without emotion. Put your Pickett hate away. Pickett’s first game, his first 3 interceptions.

https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=ZkN4WuSTp ... dGlvbnM%3D

The man couldn’t catch a break.

1st Pass - should have been caught. Slightly under-thrown, but Claypool absolutely should have been able to high point the ball and catch it. Instead, he did his patented leap-for-no-reason, alligator arm attempt and instead of a nice gain over the deep middle, Pickett gets interception #1, and it goes to a guy 6 inches shorter than Claypool. Tomlin’s asshole puckers on the sidelines.

2nd Pass - Muth proves that indeed white men can’t jump, and the high pass that should have either been caught or sail harmlessly out of bounds is instead knocked back into the field of play, causing interception #2. Tomlin dilates.

3rd Pass - Pickett launches a 65+ yard Hail Mary Pass that is intercepted in the end zone. Interception #3 and the Steelers lose to the Jets. Tomlin panics and decides to return to the turtle. 3 interceptions in one game? Can’t have that!

That Hail Mary pass should end the bullshit that Pickett has a popgun arm. His arm strength is just fine. (Rodgers heaved a similar pass this season and the entire city sucked his dick for a week.)

This kid never had a chance.

He had a garbage HC
He had a garbage OC
He had a garbage offensive scheme.
He had a garbage offensive line.
His receivers were head cases.
His running back was a turd.

Let’s review the starting offense for the rookie QB, including years of experience!

LT - Dan Moore - 1 year - one of the worst LT’s in the NFL. Still kept 2023 1st round flounderer Broderick Jones from playing his natural position in 2023 because Moore couldn’t play anywhere except LT. This is quality! (Gone after 2024)
LG - Kevin Dotson - 2 years - playing out of position (not his fault), but he wasn’t very good on the left side. Leaves the Steelers at the end of 2022 and becomes a star on the Rams.
C - Mason Cole - 4 years - one of the worst centers not named Kendrick Green. Cole sucked hard, especially on shotgun snaps. He was so good, once he left the Steelers in 2023, he was never resigned and is out of the NFL at 27. A great FA signing!
RG - James Daniels - 4 years - probably the best of this weak line, gone after 2023
RT - Chucks Okorafor - 4 years - 4 year starter in Pittsburgh, but got into Tomlin’s doghouse, was benched and hasn’t been a starter since he left in 2023, either in NE or with the Jets this season.
TE - Pat Freiermuth - 1 year - best known for being drafted instead of Creed Humphries. Well done! (He’s the only starter left from 2022... that’s pathetic). A massive underachiever, seems to be the offensive version of TJ Watt (overpaid, under delivers).
TE - Zack Gentry - 3 years - gone after 2022. Out of the NFL by 2023.

RB - Najee Harris - 1 year - ran like he was running in quicksand, wearing wet jeans, carrying a refrigerator on his back. He had the vision of Helen Keller. (A wasted 1st round pick, gone after 2024)

WR - Dionte Johnson - 3 years - loved to run backwards after catching the ball. Liked to dog it. Didn’t block. Pouted when the ball didn’t come his way. Became known as Dionte “Dropson”. gone after 2023 and now out of the NFL.
WR - George Pickens - Rookie - amazing talent, but a head case who became tired of running wind sprints up and down the sidelines. Half-assed it constantly, but never disciplined by Mediocre Mike. Forced his way out before 2025 season.

So there you have it. Of the 11 starters (including Pickett) in Pickett’s rookie year of 2022, only 1 remains. And these guys were all young. No old vets retiring from the league. That’s a terrible offense, assembled by a moron who hides behind aviators on Sundays. Many forced their way out, too. Surprising since everyone loves Coach T!

Kenny Pickett was drafted onto a bad team with bad personnel on offense, coached by the worst OC in the NFL. Matt Canada has also not landed another job since being fired, which indicates what the football world thinks of his brilliant offensive mind. He WAS smart enough to give Dino a football scholarship, though, which was his smartest football move.

He was not permitted to throw over the middle. His passes were restricted to the space between the sidelines and the numbers. Everyone knew this, and it made the defense’s job much easier.

The offense was predictable and often compared to a high school level attack.

If ANY college QB could have succeeded on the Steelers in 2022, I’d like to know who that would be. I’d also like to know who would have been there to develop him. But if anyone thinks that Jibbs would have put up with a rookie QB not doing what he was told, and throwing the ball down the middle or calling an audible at the line, you are out of your mind.

NO QB has consistently succeeded in Pittsburgh since Ben retired. Ben only succeeded because he was Ben, a HOF talent with over a decade of experience who was able to pull games out of his ass in the 4th quarter after going off script (until his arm gave out).

Pickett was a rookie. He didn’t have the experience or the gravitas to go off script.

Pickett might be ruined at this point. It’s very possible that he will not be able to salvage his career.

However I will be rooting for him. I would love to see him turn his career around. It will be another nail in Jibbs’ “coaching genius” coffin.

The Tomlin reign of incompetence must end. Once it does, the Tomlin years must be pulled apart and studied. This idiot needs to be exposed. If Pickett can get it together and become a decent starter, it will further solidify the case that Tomlin has absolutely no idea what the fuck he is doing and his entire career has been a fraud.

Let’s go Kenny!

How would Pickett beating a team that isn't the Steelers have any impact on Mike Tomlin?

I want whatever drugs you are taking.

What would be more likely in your scenario is Sirianni getting fired for having another post-Super Bowl season meltdown.

[.Kodiak]

Can we stop with the "Tomlin ruined Kenny" BS? He's on his 4th team - one of which traded him without ever taking a snap after drafting 2 mid-round QBs and signing a QB past the age of 40. The Steelers, who probably would have stuck with him for another 5 years, traded him after he QUIT ON THE TEAM!!!!!!

You can't ruin what sucked to start with. He's also a quitter and whiner.

I don’t think it will do anything for those in this forum. But for some it would just reinforce the notion that Tomlin’s reverse Midas touch continues and he has got to go, translating to more boos on Monday if they lose!

Also the shuttling of Kenny is a water shed moment in the sense I think it was Tomlin saying he didn’t care about developing through the draft and couldn’t develop any position period. It was the outing of this philosophy shift for the Steelers organization.

Thank you. This "he would have been better if drafted by another team" is pure bullshit. KP would've turned out like he has even if he was drafted by Kevin O Connell, Ben Johnson, or McVay.

I don't understand the hard on for such a poor to mediocre QB. So much water carrying going on...

They're Pitt homers.

[Dan Smith--BYU]

He's officially over after today

[.Kodiak]

He's officially over after today

64 yards on 25 attempts. With a 60% completion percentage, that's almost impossible. 2.6 YPA. 1 pick and 4 sacks to boot.

How in the world do you average 4.3 YPC?!?!?!?!? Not even backup material.

[langer]

I think he regressed.

[CKSteeler]

I think the Raiders are just godawful with most of the team having already checked out on the season and they were facing a pissed off and talented Eagles team. I'm not looking to really defend Pickett and this thread was dumb because what happened today was incredibly predictable. He wasn't much worse than Geno Smith in his last game under center for them, though.

Pickett must be gargling this guy's ballsack, because KP is a literal walking and talking prolapsed anus.

He's what we call on the street as S.S.B.B. (Scared Shitless Butt Boi) and in some circles even referred to as O.A. (Obvious Ass). That'a combo you don't want to have out on the streets where I come from. (Born and raised in the outskirts of Ashland, NY)

He smells like a nasty ass harbor ferry.

And his hands are CREEPILY MANGLED AND MISFIGURED. THEY SCARE CHILDREN. NO ONE WANTS HIS AUTOGRAPH BECAUSE THEY DON'T WANT TO BE NEAR THEM. HE GETS OUT OF CHINESE FINGER TRAPS LIKE REALLY EASILY. LIKE IT'S NO BIG DEAL TO HIM AT ALL. THE FINGERS JUST SLIP RIGHT OUT. DOESN'T EVEN TAKE HIM A SECOND. And how can his teammates ever respect him with those wittle pittle poopsie whoopsie hands? He should just go home and give up football.

Yeah, but quit holding back, stop sugar coating it and tell us how you really feel.

[jeemie]

Can we now put it to bed that Tomlin ruined kenny Pickett?

Plenty of things to get on Tomlin for.

"Not giving Kenny Pickett a chance" is not one of them.

He probably gave Pickett more of a chance than he deserved.
