Pickett traded to Eagles

1000%

The first thing I noticed is that Pickett didnt mention his teammates or the Steelers organization.

He thanked Pittsburgh for the 7 years and mentioned the Eagles are the reason he plays football.

It doesn't matter to me, but it certainly adds credence to things being said about his attitude.

 

don’t thanks us, just be ready to ball out. Old man Wilson doesn’t have long

 

Patrick Peterson, Alan Robinson,

 

You really should stop trying to read people's minds. You suck at it.

It would also help if you stopped making things up. Your fiction is not helpful, nor is it particularly interesting.

 

Run away, liar. It's all you've got in this one.

 

The stories coming out about Pickett are dubious at best. I still don't understand why any of you would trust leaks from the team as it tries to use him as a scapegoat. Also, did he really play a part in keeping Canada, or was he just saying the right things because that's who the team stuck him with?

 

That's funny stuff. The comments on the Tweet are even funnier. He's an Eagle now. Why should he not say something positive about his new team? Remember, it is also the team he rooted for as a kid. I see nothing wrong in his farewell, but some folks have an odd need to see him as a villain.

 

So, you're suggesting that KP was not a problem at all, they "gave" him away because Khan believes that JF is that much better?

 

I used to think it was all Canada too, but it was definitely not all Canada. Had Rudolph started the season, that offense would have operated much more effectively, even with Canada calling the plays.

 

Yep…Fields is an humble hard working young man rooted in the reality that he has a long way to go to achieve his dream of becoming a franchise NFL quarterback and is appreciative of the team that gave him an opportunity to do so even though it didn’t work out. Kenny is coming across as an entitled brat who thinks the Steelers owe him something even though he’s done absolutely nothing to entrench himself as the established starting quarterback of the Steelers.

 

Big difference in entitled brat and serial killing cannibal, Blast. And you think I’m prone to hyperbole!

 

I think some of what you wrote about his post was off, so I'm not sure where you were going with that. There are definitely plenty of others here trying to make him out to be a villain. You would think he was Zach Wilson the way people are posting about him.

 

There were clearly more teams than two interested, It could well be the other teams offered similair but Fields didn't want to go there, the Bears spoke of doing right by Fields so they clearely weren't going to send him somewhere he didn't want to go.

 

I really can’t wait until summer camp and the season starts so this discussion ends. However, I will continue to add to it while it is still so fresh and shocking from the norm.

 

I wouldn't be surprised if Fields said no to going to the Eagles, Hurts has a long-term deal there, the Steelers don't have their franchise guy at QB it's a better opportunity.

 

The Steelers seem to be in win now mode, once Wilson became available things changed with Pickett for them, it doesn't sound like his teammates were all in with Pickett going into this season.

 

Then you have what Art ll said after the season about being tired of not winning in the playoffs, they seem to be more aggressive in making moves.

 

yep - Pickett sucked, and Canada did not help. I said game after game that Kenny MISSED plays ALL GAME LONG.
