I’d much rather have Trubisky than Pickett

[SteelerDayTrader]

I would trade Pickett for a 3rd keep Trubisky and draft a QB

Trubisky has a much stronger arm.

At least he can make all the throws

Not saying he’s great or even good but he’s better than Pickett by a notable amount

If the Steelers could convince him to stay as a backup he might play 10 + years

[Ice]

Welp, zero chance any of that happens.

I would say that it is arguable whether Kenny or Mitch is better, but Kenny has one thing Mitch doesn't: upside. Kenny will get better, Mitch won't. I don't know why the Kenny detractors can't allow that Kenny can get better and then just wait and see how he looks next year.

I see very very limited upside if any with Kenny

[955876]

If Mitch is willing to restructure his deal and accept a back-up roll he could find himself with several years of job security/stability.

Chance of being a permanent starter for any length of time anywhere is slim to none at this point.

Back-up gig could be a great thing for him and family.

I noticed. If it's okay with you, I'm going to wait and see for myself as I don't think Kenny has peaked yet.

I hear you that Mitch is Mitch, but the “Kenny will get better” comment is the same thing I read on Reddit where hoards of Steelers fans say “Kenny will be fine.”

How do we know? Unfortunately this season has show us very little on Kenny other than he has a great attitude and some moxie. But we don’t know if he will get better. People probably used to say the same shit about Trubunsky!

[Jizz Mop]

Yeah, you’re on to something.

We will prob cut ties w Pickett and end this silly experiment

A 3 for last year’s #20 seems high….I think a 4th is more realistic

Great post

Backup QB is one of the golden jobs on Earth

Very high pay and benefits relative to 99.9% of the population

Zero expectation of any extraordinary work

Pretty much go to meetings go to gym go to practice jog do yoga practice throwing lift weights watch film study playbook

Be a good teammate

It’s a GREAT gig. One of the very best

What fucking team would look at Pickett and say he’s worth a 2nd ??

[955876]

Hope Kenny gets stronger in the off-season.

He could use a few more fps out of his BB gun.

I’m suggesting a 4th

A 3rd rounder is too high for this dud

[langer]

Yeah, we need to get rid of Kenny, these few games are MORE than enough to see that he sucks and that he SABOTAJED Coaches unbeaten season streak, and YOU KNOW WHY HE DID IT.

Mitch is just flat out way better, always has been. I mean, he was in Chicago, not his fault at all. He played MOAR then enough in college to prove that he was a first rounder by far. !!!!!

I persoannlly think Kenny should never play another NFL game ever again. You can see from his four conshins that he doesn't have a head for the game, he doesnt have the mentil part of the game at all. NOT AT ALL. Guy sucks!!!!

Plus Mitch oviously shows that he learned so much from Josh allens.

[Jizz Mop]

If you have any inroads w Khan or Weidl I’d somehow get your trade idea into their hands ASAP

You’re just wasting your talents posting these “what ifs” here.

Only one better I’d say is starting pitcher. The way the game is played today you know with almost 100% certainty you are only pitching once every 5 days.

And you don’t need to do the film study of a QB.

Throw one day per week. Golf the rest. And even less practice and shot than a backup QB.

Run a bit. Throw a bullpen maybe. Sit and chill.

[El Kabong]

How do we know?

We don't. So shouldn't we take the time to find out? Are you saying there is a 0% chance Kenny could improve between this year and next?

[Jobu]

How much time do you take? The biggest set back for an organization is waiting for the wrong guy to become the right guy. Do you give him next year…3 years…4?

I think when you have that guy, you see signs right away. He isn’t the finished product, of course, but there is something noticeable there.
I’m just one dumbass fanboy, but I see nothing, so far, that tells me that Pickett is the guy you hitch your wagon to for the next decade.
Just my 2 cents.

Not saying that at all. Nothing absolute. My point (opinion) is the wasted year that this was I am not confident in an assessment that says he will get better. I hope so because so far it’s been a very mixed bag.

No No No, he can be the GM when he fires up the Madden and sets up his wet dream team.

Luckily he is only under contract for 4 years and they have a 5th year option that they have to decide on after his 3rd season. So his contract is peanuts and the team can add talent while evaluating KP8. If he sucks after 3 years you will have accumulated good draft capital and will be in a position to draft a QB with talent around him.

Charlie Batch.
Back up QB for the Steelers for 8 years.
Only started 9 games in 8 years, appeared in 33 games out of 128 + 12 playoff games...140 games.

Never took a snap in the playoffs.

Has a SB ring.

Played 14 seasons.
$23 million plus career earnings.

Back up QBs in today's game make so much more $
The 50th highest paid QB in 2022 makes over $2 million

Same boat as you.

But you have to give KP a full camp as QB1 and then a full season.

My guess is KP is the QB at least for 2023 and 2024.

I am with you it looks like it happens once every 20 or so years.

If Mitch's rookie year was objective and quantitatively worse than Kenny's, does that make Mitch worse than Kenny?

I think it does!

You need fancy things like electricity to play Madden. He's honestly much more amusing if you picture a female orangutan with the head of Weird Al from the Amish Paradise video, by the way.
