    Maybe I was reading to much in to it but it seemed like he was whipping the ball rather than methodically throwing

    It was if he didn’t have the strength to throw normally

    Did I just imagine this does he always throw that way is he hurt

    I'm not sure but I'm can't imagine that the rib injury wasn't a factor at all. However, there were numerous throws that seemed like it took forever to get to the receiver.

    he is tight, has nothing to do with injury.

    he throws poorly with or w/o rib injuries.

    see his previous 15 games.

    could be the gloves, could be his head, could be his footwork, could be his confidence. Matt and his WR's have given him many easy plays / throws and he misses them. Add a poor OLINE and too many drops by DJ (although last night his hands were GOLD) and we have a HOT MESS.

    I saw a theory that he took a while to loosen up last night due to the injury. I'm not sure if that is true. He has had some issues with accuracy at times this season, but nothing like that first half. That is not his norm.

    His ribs must be ok.

    He lifted up Johnson after the TD.

    The 3 highest 4th quarter passer ratings since the beginning of the 2022 season are:
    1. Tom Brady
    2. Kenny Pickett
    3. Patrick Mahomes

    I've had broken ribs and sure maybe his are just bruised I don't know but I'll tell you it messes with everything ya try to do. The muscle spasms. Plus I'm sure having a flak jacket on doesn't make anything easier.

    Watching the ball jump out of Will Levis's hand last night reminded me of just how bad of an NFL Arm we have gotten used to here in Pittsburgh.

    I blame Ben for this. We just have gotten used to a QB with little to no Zip on the ball. Ben's last years, then Mason, and now Kenny just don't seem to be able to make the ball jump out of their hands like other NFL QBs do.

    Watching Levis throw the ball last night, I was like damn, I wish that was what the future looked like for the Steelers.

    Go back some years and I would think Ben R. would be top 3.
