Tomlin says "definitly no" to starting pickett

I've been an advocate for the guy just because of watching Trub.

 

Your reply gave me an idea for a new nickname for Mitch........Flub..........Flubisky.


flub


INFORMAL•NORTH AMERICAN
verb

1. botch or bungle (something).
   noun

1. a thing badly or clumsily done; a blunder.
   "the textbooks are littered with flubs"
   

 

The Pittsburgh Steelers organization would never think that way. I have trouble thinking any of the 32 NFL teams would tank especially after game 3.

 

The heck? I said 40 years ago grasshopper.

 

When you're offense is doing a quick 3 and out. Of course our defense is being treated way more than they should

 

There was an article saying 3 teams have. 2 were in the past but cardinals did it recently

 

Art is still stuck in the 00’s. This team stinks but they honestly dont care. 9-8 is all they strive to achieve.

 

32% of the time,the steelers offense have a 3 and out....

 

That is hardly the case anymore however it is more commonly the case at least with QBs. That being said I do not think that trend should have ANY bearing on the Steelers unique situation. I honestly do not see how it can even be argued at this point. There is just no value in keeping Trubisky in. We have no relationship with him or future with him. Based on their play in the preseason, it appears Pickett possesses the exact traits that Trubisky is currently lacking. The kid is as ready as he could possibly be. I don't see how him gaining rust for a season for a guy like Trubisky is even remotely a sound decision.

 

I don't know if that is a foregone conclusion yet. The Brown's game had some of the fastest 3 and outs I've even seen. Cleveland is already designed to tire defenders with their RBs. Failing to hold any TOP is just dooming the defense. Regardless, it does show how impactful and important Watt is. I am worried he is going to be just like his brother and always be hurt... that would be a literal nightmare. And no matter how much the offense's ineptitude effected the defense we clearly have to get better stopping the run. I miss the days when running just wasn't even an option against us. Hell, what was it... 2008 when hardly anything was an option against us? Those were the days....

 

MANNING, MARINO,AIKMEN,LUCK,RUSSEL WILSON, MAT RYAN, BEN.....all started as rookies ,all had

Lots of rookies have started at QB... MANNING , LUCK, AIKMAN, MARINO, KOSAR, MATT RYAN,RUSSELL WILSON, BEN,....and all went on to have good careers... took there lumps and learned from them...we aren't very good, but we aren't the 79 buccaneers either

 

Was the defense gassed by the end of the first quarter? That was when the Browns started moving the ball at will. The only reason the Steelers got a sop the rest of the half was Cooper dropping a pass on fourth down.

 

And for everyone of those how many amounted to nothing? Y’all throw those names out like that’s norm, when in reality they’re the anomaly. Aikman played on a stacked team. Outstanding defense, one of the best running backs of all time, a great offensive line..marino outstanding quarterback. One of the all time greats. Won squat. Matt Ryan what has he done? Oh that’s right nothing. Throws interceptions at the most opportune times. Ben was forced into starting due to injuries. Peyton manning one of the all time great ncaa and nfl quarterbacks. I can’t believe anyone is trying to compare Kenny freaking Pickett to Marino, manning et al. Cumulatively the guy has played one half of a preseason game.

 

Bernie kosar? Lmao 50% completions 8td and 7 int. That’s the qb play we need!

 

Manning played in the SEC and tore it up. Pickett played in the football powerhouse known as the ACC and did okay for one year.Y’all crack me up.

 

Wow... you have all the answers huh....AIKMEN was horrible first year, I believe went 1- 15.. Every QB on the list took their lumps and were better for it..Your missing the point genius... You really don't know what you have till you put him in, stop worrying but ruining him... He's either gonna get better or not...Or maybe we should just watch Mitch struggle to put up 10 points a game and not use the middle of the field....I was all for Mitch starting ,and hoped he would afford us the luxury of Kenny sitting and learning, but we should be sitting here at 0-3 and even though we have a lot of issues the main one is MITCHELL

 

You’re so right it’s all trubisky’s fault. He caused our receivers to drop a half dozen passes. It’s his fault Minkah gambled and lost on a huge Chubb run. It’s his fault Edmunds was out of position not once, but twice on td passes. Just put in Pickett and that will cure all of our ills.

 

Was it Troy's 3rd team and he started multiple seasons for the first team?

 

Maybe you should RE - READ the post.......Never said MITCH was the only problem......But he is the QB of a bad offense right now and he has to shoulder the blame...He's a vet and it's the nature of playing that position...They desperately needed to posses the ball in the second half and they couldn't do it...

 

He threw for 4,319 yards, averaging 8.7 yards per attempt, with 42 touchdowns and only seven interceptions. He was third in the Heisman Trophy voting. That is a bit better than doing okay.

 

And our 18million dollar veteran wide receiver dropped how many passes in the second half?

 

It may also mean that if there isn't a big difference between the two, you might as well let the rookie play.
