    Plus injuries now. Soon his mother will bear fault for birthing him with tiny hands.

    KFP is a perfect fit for the right Team .. If a Team is looking to keep the W column clean and stack the L column with a desire to draft #1... KFP is the man followed closely by Mason Reindeer.

    Let the tanking games begin.. My money is on district 12 and KFP...

    His mother is glad the doctor who delivered him had tiny hands

    My dad was a small guy with small hands but he delivered 3-4k babies

    Pickett's Dad could be at fault with those hands too....just saying.

    It was the past regime of Tomlin and Colbert who overdrafted Pickett, a prospect that most teams viewed as having a third round grade. As Steeler fans we took it in the shorts.

    I felt Kenny Pickett was a bust the day we drafted him. His low wonderlic score (17 ) tiny hands, ( below 9" ) and weak NFL arm spelled doom. He also was a 1 year wonder who played weak competition.

    I read the Steelers tried to trade up for him in round one!

    If he only had bigger hands, who knows he could of become the next Tom Brady of the NFL. ;)

    That was one of the bigger concerns I had with him, that he was benefitting from being an experienced college player.

    Although you are correct I do believe you missed the point about the doctor’s small hands

    How is Richardson not at the top of the worst? He was drafted #1 overall and was horrid.

    Probably because he’s been injured too much and also raw talent. What was Pickett good at? What QB traits that are looked for in a QB did he posses.

    The offense under Pickett produced historically bad numbers.

    That I have to believe the perfect system for him at the right time (23 years old). Whomever the Pitt OC was that season, he deserves heaps of praise to make Pickett look like an All-ACC QB. Nuts.

    If we had only drafted a good CB or MLB or even WR then...sigh.

    Hopefully the Kenny Pickett Experience will prove to NFL Evaluators that stats are not everything when it comes to not just players but QBs doubly so. I was hopeful in 2022 despite the limited action... then I realized that Matt Canada was a severe issue. In 2023, both Pickett and Canada were the issues. Now?! Both Canada and Pickett are no longer gainfully employed (more so Canada).
