No playoffs for the Steelers = a good thing

burrow his rookie yr had 4 games over 300 yards and one game over 400. His numbers across the board percentage wise and per game were far better than Pickett. Not only that he had a 2nd yr head coach and not an experienced nfl head coach with a sb ring, he went to a much worse franchise and team than Pickett, and he was asked to throw it from day 1 to try win games. Not complete barely 15 passes a game like Pickett and lean on the run game lol they not the same. If you think Pickett is burrow then you are delusional.

 

Lawrence is much more athletic and has the better arm than Pickett. It’s really not close talent wise.

 

We had a second year scrub go into the playoffs against Palmer, Manning, and Plummer with Brady, Rivers, and Leftwich also in AFC. That season turned out well. Good thing the other guys on the team matter too.

 

Second year scrub? Ben? You realize the talent discrepancies between Ben and KP right??? Wow

I feel like you people are on crazy pills. Hopefully KP is as good as y’all think he is because it means the Steelers will be the team to beat for years to come!

 

How do you know he can't? Has he ever HAD to? WOULD he ever have to? I'm sure all the anal ysts would have said Eli could never evade a sack from multiple players and throw a "helmet catch" ball! Until he did!

 

No, reading comprehension. I'm saying that he COULD be as good as Burrow. I'm saying that he is the same physically. The difference, right now, is mental.

 

How'd he do his rookie year?

 

No! We're wrong! The anal yst says so! Kenny will never be better than he is now! He'll never grow.

 

True. I look forward to seeing what he can do with a real OC, OL and receivers that catch consistently.

 

Who are you calling you people?

yes, I was talking about Ben, glad you could figure that out. I also said it depends on the team around the QB as well. Or did you miss that part? Go back and look at your SB QB champs, they are not all as talented as Ben. They had a team to support them. There are also many more talented than Ben who never won.

 

Realistically there are 3 teams that matter in the AFC playoffs - the Bengals, Chiefs and Bills. I’d rank them in that order.

The other four teams are road bumps.

I do expect the Steelers to contend for a WC spot next year.

The Bengals will win the div going away.

The Ravens are due for a fall no matter what they do. Franchise Lamar and watch him hold out or sit out for any nick or cut. Trade him and suck like they do now. Or pay him the money he wants and be hamstrung by the cap hit. They have no good options.

The Browns should be somewhat better with Watson getting a full camp. But they’ve got plenty of other problems and thanks to what they’re paying Watson, very little ability to fix them.

 

I think burrow is better physically as well. Hes tbh a better runner than mahomes.

 

What Eli did though was luck. He himmself even admitted he was lucky on that play. And he didn't "evade" the sack. He broke lose off it. Evading is making someone miss which he didn't do and couldn't do. And so you think Tom brady can run the read option only because we've never seen him try to do it nor had to just like the same logic you're using with Pickett. LOL I've seen KPs footwork and escapability. He doesn't have it like burrow.

 

Looked better than Pickett with far worse circumstances surrounding him.

 

that would be great.......if he were a running back!

 

So they go to the sb last yr with burrow having no mobility?

 

If KP turns out to be 75% of Joe Burrow I would be ecstatic. People really underestimate how good that dude is. He is 2 behind Mahomes.

 

Don't know.

 

making the playoffs would have been great. But it didn't happen. so we have got to regroup get better .figure out how to beat elite teams. Draft smart and does anyone really believe Matt Canada can-- score-- us enough points to compete with the best?

 

Hey didn't the Pirates have a similar streak but longer? Oh wait.........

 

Cause he made several runs with his legs to extend drives. Especially against the chiefs.

 

I'm taking him over allen.
