Steelers and Sam Darnold

I anticipate some gibberish coming soon

 

Your unsupported opinion is noted and given the lack of consideration it deserves.

 

He was a backup in Philadelphia, where he won his only start. Injuries wiped out any chance he had in Cleveland. His teams won more than they lost despite the shackles Tomlin put on him in Pittsburgh. When exactly was he in even a decent situation?

 

He gets hurt every time he gets extended playing time, so no, I'm not sure any team will trust him even as their primary backup.

 

You have no idea what those guys would have done with him. Anyone arguing that the system had nothing to do with Pickett's limited production in Pittsburgh wasn't paying attention to the Matt Canada offense and Tomlin's terrible handling of Pickett.

 

We have had this discussion. I have explained this to you repeatedly. You are incapable of acknowledging that you present opinion as fact, either because you don't understand the difference or you are too stubborn to admit it. You are also incapable of conducting this discussion in a civil manner.

 

I understand what he said after the fact, after the team botched the situation and threw him under the bus and he had little choice.

 

Please stop falsely accusing me of lying. Your claims regarding his motivation were made up in your own head. At best, they are opinions, not facts.

 

Then how come the other teams Pickett went to didn't get anything out of him either , besides when he got his chance with the Steelers he couldn't stay on the field because of injuries.

 

And it came spewing

I must be clairvoyant

 

Thank you for proving my point.

 

Apparently ever single individual word

At least based on recent gibberish

 

Thanks Tomlin

 

I think this belongs here

Thank you for proving my point.

 

Not sure to what extent. I seen him develop a guy, and then quickly traded him for a guy that was in the league already for 12 years. Seems to me if He was able to develop young Qbs he would do that, instead of giving up the Young Qb he had , two 1st round draft picks, and a 3rd round draft pick for a 12 year vet.
Again I'm not saying He can't. I'm saying I haven't really seen it.
Just seems strange people say He can really coach up rookie Qbs, and yet we have never seen it, and the youngest Qb we've seen him with ,He traded for a old vet.
All in all it doesn't seem like something he really wants to do.

 

Oh yeah. It did work out. No, see, most people misunderstand me.
I think he's a great HC, but that doesn't mean because he's a great head coach that he is a Qb whisper, or that he can coach up a rookie Qb, and yet somehow this butt hurts some people.
You can be a awesome HC, and not be some awesome Qb developer for rookies.
For example: If I was a great HC, and I was really known for coaching up , let's say DBs, I wouldn't trade my young DB, and two 1st round, and a 3rd round pick for a older vet, I would use those picks for getting other , cheaper DBs I could coach up.

 

True, it appears he could've handled it better from our vantage point. But no one outside the locker room knows exactly what was going on. I'll admit, I thought he was improving once Canada was let go. When they didn't let him start once he had recovered from his injury and was cleared to play, and Tomlin wanted to 'ride the hot hand' with Rudolph I thought he was done in Pittsburgh from that point on. Before the signing Russell Wilson talk began.

 

If Pickett was all that, Philly would have kept him to be a good backup. If he was all that, he would have shown it in Cleveland, and they would have kept him.

If Pickett was really ever going to be a viable NFL starter, he would have shown more than he did, even under Tomlin, even under Canada.

 

He was improving, but he didn't get much time without the stench of Canada.

 

How exactly was he supposed to show something in Cleveland when he missed the entire preseason with an injury? Did you not know that, or are you just ignoring facts that don't fit your opinion?

Two factors beyond his control have helped sink Pickett. One was the way the Steelers bungled his time in Pittsburgh. The other is injuries, something that wasn't a concern when he was drafted. Any chance he had of developing into something elsewhere has been sunk by his inability to stay healthy.

 

If you are going to quote an article, link it or provide the full article so we can see it in context, not your interpretation of it, which is clearly driven by your desire to support your narrative.

I don't doubt that the Browns got fed up with Pickett being hurt again and that factored into their decision to move on from him, but that supports my claim, not yours.
