Pickett traded to Eagles

That was my point yesterday as well that they are going off the rails to make this more palatable. He saw a situation that had little upside and asked for change.

 

Can we not get a server that during a rush ,spins left and oh nvrmnd

 

Yes I do, although let's face it, he'd have lost, which is why he asked for a trade - and ended up on a team where he has NO SHOT to start, looks like his whining backfired to me.

Do you think he should have just been handed the job?

 

He did have a real shot at the job

It looked a lot like 24 starts in 2022 and 2023

 

This time next year kenny moves east more and plays for the
New Jersey Generals

 

So... Pickett saw that he can't compete against a 36 year old, and left the ring? And you think that's a justifiable behavior for an NFL QB?

If Pickett saw no "upside" in Pittsburgh after just two years then Steelers should be trading him. Where's the issue?

Steelers went out of their way to give Pickett what he wanted as soon as possible... taking two low round picks so quickly is to help Pickett get his wish. Pickett (and his supporters) should be ecstatic Steelers cave in to his demand so nicely.

 

Tissue?

 

lied to? That’s a little harsh. Sometimes things change. The Steelers are trying to win championships. Sometimes a better option comes along and you have to reevaluate. As a fan I’m glad that they are doing everything they can.

 

The sooner Kenny learns that every team he will ever play for in the NFL will ALWAYS be looking to get better at QB the better off he will be. Especially if he is QB1!

 

People here have been dismissing her every word because “she’s a browns fan”, but now it’s gospel?

 

I do need to apologize for my snark to you and @S.T.D I broke the cardinal rule of posting after drinking. I'm my defense, I was just over reading the same ridiculous argument about Pickett and Rudolph over and over again.
One would think that now that both are gone that conversation would go quiet but I know better.

 

What do they gain from it other than avoiding injury? Maybe if your last college performance stinks if you played, could be the other I guess.The old school in me says play the bowl game

 

Naah, keep it. You'll need it for wiping your lady parts.

 

By all means, point to the post in which I wrote that Pickett got no chance. You can't because I didn't. if you don't understand my posts, please ask questions rather than making things up.

This isn't Mitchell Trubisky they were bringing in. It is Russell Wilson. Even past his prime, that is a big difference. How do you not understand that?

Regarding what happened in 2022, what I wrote was that Trubisky had a better career resume than Rudolph, which was true, and that Rudolph was the worst of the three quarterbacks in the preseason that season, which I backed up with statistics that prove my point. Tomlin gave Trubisky more time with the starters based on his resume. He even said he would consider their entire careers, not just what he saw in training camp and the preseason. You and I disagree on whether that made sense or not, but Rudolph also didn't outplay Trubisky or Pickett in the preseason. Unfortunately, Trubisky only got worse in his time as a Steeler. Maybe Rudolph would have been better in 2022. He was better than Trubisky in 2023, but with the advantages I have pointed out previously.

Now it is your narrative that is changing. You didn't believe Tomlin gave Rudolph a fair shot then, but now you want to buy into the false narrative that Pickett had a real shot to start over Wilson this season. We know from past experience that Tomlin is going to look at the entire resume, not just what he sees in camp and the preseason.

To put it more simply so even you can keep up, you are the one who is being a hypocrite. I didn't claim that Rudolph got a fair shot because Tomlin said so. I did it because Trubisky's resume before then was better and because Rudolph was the worst of the three quarterbacks in the preseason. It sucks that you feel the need to make stuff up just to attack me. Do better.

 

McCaffrey being an exceptional talent is the big reason he turned out alright. He turns out alright either way.

 

That's all fair, but Tomlin did change his story and I don't think Khan told the truth. If you have full faith in a young quarterback, you don't trade him for pennies on the dollar even if he does ask for it.

 

No. I think he should have had to compete for it. Once they signed Wilson, they should have been honest with him. He will compete, but Wilson has the advantage. In 2025, Wilson could be gone and he will get another shot. Once he asked for a trade, they should have said no. He's under contract. Show up and prove he deserves another chance. Instead, they let the inmates run the asylum.

 

That is what they gain. Pickett was about to be a first-round pick. An injury could cost him that. It's not worth the risk for a game that can't win them anything. The bowl games outside the playoff have become more and more meaningless. Pickett knew that. So have plenty of others in his position.

 

I’m tired of Steelers FO giving into these guys.

Melvin Ingram, LeGarrette Blount, Diontae Johnson, Kenny Pickett, Antonio Brown.

The precedent has been set … don’t like your situation with the Steelers … You get what you want, you can force your way. Easy Peezy!
