Pickett traded to Eagles

The Steelers have become a joke under HC Mike Tomlin and it's only going to get worse.

 

No clue. It wasn't long but it was there. Sometimes sites won't work right if you have a VPN so I turned it off and tried again with the same result. This site works flawlessly with VPN

 

NFL - Not for Long.
I'm disappointed with the move but only so much. They did get a return.

So, we are all in on a 36-year-old QB who is struggling to remain relevant.
I am ok with that; I think he can compete.

For this offseason to get much more than a C, I'd have to see a WR and a Center (doesn't have to be a starter, worst case, just better depth than what we have.)
And obviously a backup QB and a #3 QB.
We got a punter, which shanky shank shank should have been gone long ago....
A LB that I am very pleased with.
A SS that may be dependable depth.

The extra picks could net a good haul in the draft.... need OT and C.... WR
It could turn into an A offseason pretty easy.

 

Actually it was down for an hour+, even TTF admitted that the Pickett trade melted a server.

 

Every boomer and Gen X is saying WTF is your major malfunction Pyle. Seriously every store is like this now us Gen Xers kept it together but after us its all she wrote. As Carlin said they walk around with a neutral zone swirlign around their head. I'm surprised half the younger kids today actually make it from their house to any destination. It's like a miracle when they do!!

 

Tomlin hasn't been extended yet, right? If they don't extend him, this would be by far the best offseason I've ever followed.

 

The focus is all on Tomlin now. It's your team. It's YOUR job......for now.

 

Hell, I raised my sons to be Steelers fans. Once they watched the Super Bowl where we beat Seattle that was it.

 

This My Friend. This. Think about this. He left because He was afraid to battle for a backup position, and now He forsure is in a backup role. Maybe even 3rd string in Eagleville.

 

LOL. Y'all are funny. At least the Steelers know how to manipulate a big chunk of their fan base.

 

You really buy the narrative that he was going to be given a real shot at the job this year once they signed Wilson. Wow.

 

Exactly....quite a long time ago....that was what....27-28 years ago???

 

How do you figure he was afraid to battle for a backup job? He was going to be the backup after they signed Wilson. You're the one who has been insisting that the team has been full of crap in the past, saying there was a quarterback competition when there wasn't. Now you want to buy into the narrative the Steelers created through leaks that I'm certain came from the front office. He had surgery to rush back from injury and they didn't let him play when he was ready. Then they signed Wilson, spouting nonsense about competition when there likely wasn't going to be one.

Yes, Pickett made a mistake in asking for a trade, but the way y'all are buying into the narrative the Steelers are selling when you know they all lied about their faith in Pickett since the end of last season is amusing.

 

LoL. Oh how the narrative changes. The same guy who stated Multiple time that Mason got a fair shot over a Qb that was a number 1 draft pick, and a form number 1 draft pick FA brought in.... with both making way more than Him.....Yet now KFP had no chance. What a freaking Hypocrite You are.

 

I got nothing to say to you right now Hypocrite.

 

Yep, me too. I was just posting when it happened.
It triple posted thought my device froze up

 

I Figured that wasn't you posting yesterday.

 

The one thing I will say about this with respect to Tomlin is, is he honest? If he told Pickett that he and Wilson would compete, then changed after Wilson is signed and told Pickett Wilson was in the pole position and would get first team reps how do you trust anything the Coach ever says. Yes it would seem Pickett would become the backup particularly if Wilson shined in camp which I'm not sure how any QB doesn't do well in Camp anymore. So he goes to the Eagles as a backup probably because he felt he was lied to. James Harrison forced his way out after Tomlin promised him starting reps that never panned out so either Tomlin isn't honest, flip flopped or was told that Wilson would have to get first team reps, which one is it? Dumb move by Pickett but perhpas he just didn't trust his Head Coach anymore.

 

Now you're sounding like KP.

 

I don't wanna go to another site because of one hiccup here.
I deleted the other 2 post but kept the one jeh liked just to keep my positive ratings

 

This right there. Once you lose trust it's over. Life lesson.

 

Y'all really shouldn't try to read my mood. You suck at it.

I think it was a poor trade, but I'm actually more comfortable with them moving on now than I was a few weeks ago. They clearly don't think he's the guy, so at least they got something for him. I just think they would have been better off keeping him as a cheap backup and possible bridge guy next year while they look for their long-term answer. I also think they dropped the ball badly in how they handled his development. I hope they do better with the next guy.

 

Who is losing trust? Pickett? Of course. He's not an idiot.

Me? Nah. I never trusted them in the first place.

 

Curious, who is "They"? Don't cop out and say the organization, who specifically?

 

This wasn’t purgatory for KP. He stunk it up and is a diva as well.

I don’t feel sorry for Kenny at all. I think he’s a smug little prick. I also am tired of people saying he got a raw deal due to Canada. BUT, the fact is, Mason Rudolph played MUcH better in the same system. Kenny had his chances but just didn’t get it done. Hes a career backup and he won’t be a consistent starter ever again. And to be honest, with his arrogant attitude, I hope he’s out of football very soon.
