Pickens over DK this week.

Oh pickens with more yards this week than DK, runs slants, and now TD

 

Y'all kids going to cry when DK starts his normal drama and continues to do bonehead drops.

 

Man, this cowboy giants game is a good one. Wilson with a deep ball

 

Think its Russell Wilson over Rodgers you need to think about

 

And Russ dropping dimes

 

Pickens plays for the Cowboys. Process and move on.

 

Pickens great TD with those hands of course.

Rus, with about the best long bomb pass I’ve seen in a while.

What do these two players have in common?

 

That was a heck of a throw. And also for rushing 15 yards

 

They don't have to worry about Tomlin?

 

Pickens celebrating with the kicker meow.

Guess changes can Happen with a new fan base that generally likes him.

 

Pickens with another big gain!

 

And Russ dropping INTs for the loss.

 

Dude still had an amazing game. Over 400 yards before over time and 3 touchdowns.

 

He threw for over 400 and STILL lost his team the game because of a stupid throw on 2nd down in overtime. I would almost understand an arm punt on 3rd and long, but he just chucked that ball up and lost his team the game.

As far as Pickens go, nobody doubts his talent, he's a great talent but he's going to do something stupid that will hurt his team.

 

Most fans in here hoping that Pickens does negative stuff. But Cowboys already showed that last week issue against the eagles they loved seeing the emotion.

 

Pickens will continue to get better as the season goes on and he builds a relationship with DAK.


Khan was a complete idiot for trading away Pickens and then replacing him with no one. Nothing was done in the 2025 draft, because the Steelers had both DK and Pickens on the roster!!! Watching today's game, it was obvious that the Steelers have nothing when DK is double covered.

 

There are some with a short memory around here. I don’t think anyone ever questioned Pickens potential. The issue is more related to his inability to make it a whole season without significant drama.

 

Pickens was going to be with us one year only. Who knows what trouble he would have caused in the process.

By trading away Pickens we locked in a mid-third round pick in next years draft (rather than hoping we would be granted an end-of-the-round 3rd round comp pick). Plus we parlayed a future 6th into a 5th.

 

Emotion is highly overrated in football. My wife Corky is emotional as hell but she can't play football worth a damn.

the giants are giving him better pass protection than we did

 

Right now, Pickens isn't in the top 50 with his 98 yards.
He 47th in avg yard/catch but Metcalf is 26th
That with Dak Prescott being 5th in passing attempts. (Rogers is at 17th)

I agree that Pickens has a ton of talent.
But I also agree that he is a sandwich short of a picnic.
That said, he still better than anyone not named Metcalf on the Steelers WR roster.

 

You going to say all that and forget who's the Steelers #1 WR, who's the cowboys?

Who's had more drops to it hitting their hands?

Dk might be leading better average catch. But which one you counting on to catch it?

 

Yes.
I was probably pretty upset when they made the trade, pretty stupid to finally get a legit WR and then cut the one you drafted that had a ton of talent.
But then weighing the peripheral stuff.

Sure, it will remain a mystery if our coaching is to blame.
Or maybe our front office for two thing:
1. Drafting him and knowing he had issues.
2. Drafting him and knowing he had issues and knowing our coaching staff was not up to par.

But we got a pick and got rid of a problem.
And just looking at the film, we are getting 100% from Metcalf but we did not from Pickens.
And we certainly don't have a CeeDee (whom I'm not really envious of) not a legit #2 or #3.

It's bittersweet man... 2 games in, it tough to gauge what might be.

 

Pickens was 32nd in yards and Metcalf had more

And this is what a couple of football illiterates are complaining about
