Pickett traded to Eagles

I will say is that KP never got a complete fair shot! Played in Canada's offense and still was 7-4, and that was against quality opponents last season (2nd season in the NFL). There was virtually no running game in any of those games! Most of his offensive supporting skill guys were all out at different times; DJ, Muth and Najee. Give the kid a fair shot, is all I'll say! The offensive line was also terrible during that stretch of games as well!Otherwise, this is an absolute waste of a first round pick (who's responsible for that?)!

I'm agreeing with you on "going sideways", in fact, I'll just say that it will be an absolute S Show! They are not addressing the real problem! The Head Coach! There are a TON of 9-8 teams in the league but none of them inherited the gold mine that Tomlin received from Cowher, of talent! Tomlin is the main problem! Lack of talent in the trenches (sans TJ Watt) is the biggest personnel issue. Don't believe me? What is our record when TJ does not play?

 

I don’t blame him for getting angry either. But use that as motivation to compete, not to manipulate your way out of town.

 

Manipulate your way out of town?!


How about potentially out of the league?! Who knows what could happen for Kenny at this point?! Given how Jalen Hurts dealt with Injury last season, it wouldn't shock me if Kenny started some games but unless something EXTREMELY CRAZY surfaces, Jalen Hurts is QB 1 of the Eagles.

 

He would've been in a better spot to get playing time in Pittsburgh if Wilson struggled, he won't play with the Eagles unless Hurts gets injured.

 

If Wilson can produce stats for Pittsburgh like he did last year for Denver 26 TDs and 8 interceptions, I think the team will be good.

 

College players skip their bowl game every year, McCaffrey skipped his bowl game and he turned out alright.

 

Glad I'm not the only one to notice this. I'm not much for McAfee, but whenever I have passed through all I've ever seen Hawk do is sit there with a close up on his mug while he smokes a cigar.

 

I wonder what is in his cigar, because he looks low key baked, lol!

AJ used to contribute more, but I think he smoked himself stupid now.

 

Long ago they said they “were in talks”

 

Still seems like they are selfishly crapping on the rest of the team who helped them get where they are

It is something I could not ethically do but that is just me I have high standards for myself

JMHO

 

You don't need to score high on the wonderlic test to see the pattern of Tomlin's coaching tenure. He could have been a model player like Mason and Landry before him and still never got a level shot at being a legit starter it would always be the bottom of the **** slide to start with. In a similar situation I'd prefer not to have them lie to my face and go somewhere I know the score up front.

 

It’s gonna be an interesting interview with Tomlin when he’s asked about that press conference for sure!

 

If Kenny forces his hand out of Pittsburgh, it will prove to be a horrible career decision possibly even a career ending one. He's not going to be starting for the Eagles.

Honestly I'm relieved. I don't have to have false hope that he is going to start playing well. He was drafted in a year that was weak on QBs drafted based on need.

Oh well wash the hands and move on. Kenny will never be an NFL starting QB now. He might even be out of the league in 3 years.

He actually had a chance to start on this team eventually but pride got the best of him.

 

Well he at least gets one more shot in Philly, and Steelers Depot just reported that Eagles wanted Pickett because they failed at getting Fields, which is pretty wild … Hurts led them to a Super Bowl? Maybe he will have a legit shot there?

 

no, Steelers needed to show MR a little appreciation after the way they treated him and the way he helped keep the season from being a total disaster.

Maybe offer him a nice deal from the start. No, I doubt they did.

 

Can’t believe the Steelers are being this aggressive, signing Wilson, now this,

the safe Steelers way would’ve been resign MR and have him and KP battle it out in camp. Which I think would’ve produced a better offense and winning team.

what gives? Someone is being very impatient, is it Tomlin? Is he thinking about hanging them up? Or is it Rooney? Cam and TJ?

 

According to DK's article today the Steelers didn't make an offer to Rudolph this off season.

 

I don't buy the forced narrative. They could have told him to shut up and wait his turn. They chose to sell for pennies on the dollar rather than just use him as a cheap backup, or at least wait a few weeks to smooth things out.

 

Why? Do you not realize it is what most players in his position do when their team is just in a regular bowl game rather than the playoff?

 

I think the classic Colbert move would have been to hire Smith as OC and sign Tannehill as a back up to mentor Kenny … and if Kenny shat the bed this upcoming year they then move on from him.

It definitely is an impatient, win now, move.

I’m excited for Wilson at the same time though, but even so … the loss of DJ and no real Starting Center on the roster gives me a real uneasy feeling.

I would have felt better if we could have kept DJ and signed the Buffalo Center.

 

They were idiots. It is very common in recent years.

 

After next season, at the very least, he would have been a cheap backup or bridge to their next guy.

 

Asking for a trade is throwing a hissy fit? Y'all crack me up.

 

He will most likely be worthless or expensive.

 

That tells me the price tag on Fields is still too high. Then again, I'd only want them to roll those dice if they got him cheap.

Kobaly supposedly said he expects Fields to be a Steeler this season during an interview on WFAN today.
