The Wonderlic and Kenny Pickett

It was either fire Canada or bench Kenny. From what I’ve read, that’s what it came down to.

 

Geez, where are you getting that? If you’ve read anything I’ve posted on here you know that I think Canada was terrible. That’s just intellectually dishonest. What I was referring to is that there were reports that Tomlin was close to benching Kenny after the Cleveland game. Wouldn’t surprise me if Tomlin wanted to try to retain his pal, Matt, by giving it a shot with Mitch before he had to make the decision to fire him.

 

Your implication was that I didn’t think Canada was horrible. He was absolutely horrible, probably the worst Steelers (and maybe NFL) OC in my lifetime.

 

So now you are admitting Canada was horrible

 

Have you read many of my comments about Canada over the last couple of years, lol?

 

Yeah I know

I just saw a button and felt like pushing it

 

Funny, my buddy said the wonderlic test is useless. Sorta like college degrees today

its not about being smart, its about how fast you can compute information

 

I agree, but I think He will get every single chance they can give Him to start, but I think his leash will be way shorter than last year. For all our sakes ....let hope He shines.

 

Standardized tests are prepared for and given to people all the time. We are then told that they don't reflect accurately on society as a whole for a variety of factors. We are told that people of different backgrounds shouldn't be judged on their scores from standardized tests.

Why is the Wonderlic a be-all/end-all for quarterback aptitude?

 

The Wonderlic may be useless, but at this point it seems to have pegged Kenny’s inability to process, diagnose and solve quickly.

 

I hope it was primarily Canada and that Kenny looks like a different QB under Smith. One thing we agree on, Kenny will be QB1 heading into the season so as Steeler fans we’d better hope that was the case. Tomlin should be charged with coaching malpractice to allow Matt Canada to be the guy to break his shiny new quarterback toy into the league. Why he ever thought it was a good idea to have Canada teach him how to become a successful NFL quarterback is behind me. Tomlin has totally mismanaged Rudolph’s career and he’s on the verge of mismanaging Pickett’s career, especially if they bring in Fields.

 

Yes

Yes

Huh

 

And that should be good enough for the NFL
