    I don’t think anyone should expect Pickett to be like Ben. You will be massively disappointed.

    he’s a rookie and much better to play him than Trub.

    umm.. did y'all forget how Ben's career started? 2 tds, 2 ints and a L.. a hail mary int and a weak effort by the WR int. yes, the costly INT was a bad throw... but it's not like he was throwing it directly into the hands of defenders he couldn't see. that was the most excitement we've had in a month.

    And 2 horrible balls that should have never been thrown " Trubisky does this or that and....If Pickett was in there...He most assuredly would do this or that ) " ONE good year out of 5 in College, and he's a Savior

    No. I didn’t forget, but apparently you did. The Steelers were down 21-0 when Ben came into the game.

    I know the stats don't look good but I don't care - Pickett looked great and this loss isn't on him whatsoever.

    The 1st 2 picks are clearly on the receivers. Simply drops, no other way to put it, even if the 2nd one was more difficult.
    The hail mary doesn't count.
    I don't think he threw an incompletion, every ball was caught by us or them!

    Pickett is decisive, athletic and deadly accurate. He missed one throw the whole game, just a drop high, that unfortunately bounced to a Jet. Kid is tough and confident and cool under pressure. All of the things you could want in a QB.

    I'd rather they lose by going down swinging than lose by playing it safe with 3 yard check downs on 3rd and 8.
    At least theres a chance to learn and grow from his mistakes.

    oh, i remember.. you can also say the ravens were playing soft defense for much of the second half to protect that huge score against a rookie qb making his debut. not worth arguing about.. both QBs came in, gave their teams a spark, but ultimately lost. one game does not make a career.

    Yeah, me too. But Trubisky is taking care of the ball and losing.
    I'd rather have a confident and fearless player who will learn from his mistakes rather than protecting the ball and playing it safe....and still losing.
