Pickett traded to Eagles

Glenn, I've commented on several things that Kenny said toward the end of last season that were salty to say the least. That's fine, he's a competitor and as someone who's competitive myself I know it may be easy to get salty when you're being outperformed by the backup to your backup. I don't think it's been disputed by anyone that Kenny asked for a trade after Russell Wilson was signed because he didn't feel as though he were being treated fairly since Tomlin apparently told him that Russell Wilson would go into camp as QB1. Kenny himself said he needed a change, needed a re-set. AFTER TWO SEASONS??!! He decided that the NFL transfer portal looked pretty good and decided he didn't want to stick around and compete with a 35 year old quarterback who's seen better days. Those are FACTS! I certainly concede that the story about him refusing to dress as the QB3 in Seattle remains a rumor although it has gained a little more traction the last few days. But maybe that's because of the circumstances surrounding Kenny's departure. So my opinions are not merely based on rumors, they are based on actions, behaviors and words from the entitled one himself.

 

I've conceded that there have been conflicting reports about his refusal to dress as QB3. But given his saltiness at the end of last season because he was being outperformed by his backup (in fact, his backup's backup) and his request/demand to be traded after the Steelers brought in a veteran quarterback to improve the QB room leads me to believe that it certainly could have happened.

 

I'm a little confused, jeh. You seem to be agreeing with my contentions about Kenny and how he came across as a salty brat at the end of last year when his backup's backup was outplaying him and forcing Tomlin's hand to keep him as the starter and that Kenny basically pouted his way out of Pittsburgh when the Steelers brought in Wilson, but then you seem to support what's being said about all of this just being conjecture and rumor. I've conceded that the refusal to dress as QB3 in Seattle is, at this point, a rumor, but I can somewhat believe it based on Kenny's other statements and behaviors. Can you clarify exactly what you think of the Pickett drama, lol?

 

The interesting thing is Kenny wasn't a free agent so its not like he bought a bill of goods and lost out on signing with another team, he was under contract and the Steelers could have said we are not trading, stfu and go into camp and prove you are better. So at the end of the day he either didn't trust Tomlin and the Steelers that he would get a fair shot in camp or doubted himself that he could win that competition and told the Steelers he would prefer to be traded. Same thing sorta happened to Mitch, they signed him as QB1 and then drafted a first round QB in Pickett and so the clock was ticking and he played like crap and was scrapped by game 4.

 

Nail on the head! There are certain members of this board who get their jollies that way. They enjoy denigrating and name calling and at times they'll disparage another poster that they aren't directly interacting with because they are incapable of having direct, intellectual interaction or debate in which they state their case in a well reasoned way, listen to another's viewpoint and either respectfully agree or disagree without name calling and belittling. And then you have other posters who are agreeing with what you're actually saying and even making comments supportive of your position but then when another poster essentially name calls and disparages what you are saying they make sure to hand out those "winner" ratings to those guys.

Wait a minute, I guess we're now doing what you accused others of doing above in your post, lol.

 

Just to be clear I am not agreeing or disagreeing with the part in red

I wasn’t there and don’t have a clue nor do you or anyone else

More specifically Kenny who was there said things went as planned that week

But even Kenny made it clear when Russell was signed he wanted a new start elsewhere

To that he tucked his tail and ran

I think now is a good time to move forward on this subject

 

The part in red was a very real and unfortunate possibility

When Wilson was available everything changed

No one was lied to and no one was promised anything

But that makes for a boring subplot

 

Since Pickett is now an Eagle isn’t this a General NFL Forum topic

 

Pickett should have made a post similar to this.....


Mason Rudolph officially says goodbye to Steelers Nation in this Instagram post today:
"For the past 6 years, it has been a privilege to be part of the Pittsburgh community and represent the Pittsburgh Steelers.
To my teammates, coaches, staff, Art Rooney, the Rooney family, Thomas Tull, Larry Paul, and the rest of the Steelers organization: Thank you for changing my life forever six years ago when you gave me the opportunity to wear the Black & Gold.
To the fans—your love and passion for the team is what makes it so special to play here. I will never forget playing in front of Yinz one final time this past December. All the Best. MR."

 

Now that is a class act

Not like some other guy who’s name I’ve forgotten

 

Nothing negative is a long way from classy polite professional ………….

And I have a bunch of personalities

 

He’ll be back in 2025.

Interesting that he didn’t mention Mike Tomlin by name. I’m sure it’s nothing.

 

I think Sybil, er, I mean jeh, has been having an identity crisis of late. He’s spent a good bit of time lately arguing with himself over the Kenny Pickett debacle.

 

It’s hard to find mental equals on this site

I couldn’t pass up that curve ball

 

Kenny Pickett is selling his house naturally

Fully furnished

Now there is a guy running away as fast as he can

I wonder if he is taking his wife and trophy’s

Ok his wife

 

Congratulations on allowing yourself to be suckered by the false narrative.

 

What is he supposed to do? Keep a house six hours from where he plays?

 

There was one comment and even that wasn't nearly as bad as you are trying to make it out to be. The guy wanted to play. That's what he is supposed to want. Please stop making things up.

 

Read it again slower so maybe you will understand

 

The pool in a shape of the number 8

 

I’ll stick to the obvious facts

You stick with your made up story about everyone lying and the Steelers leaking information to save face

You’re looking bad on that one

 

A little poetry eh
