That same coaching staff thought Pickett was their guy going into his second season. They thought Najee Harris deserved to start and get the ball...
I'm not sure how else to put it. A poor reason and no reason are not the same thing. Just because the Steelers thought he wasn't worth putting...
They tried more things than some fans think, but they were too passive on some third-and-long situations early. They weren't going to cover that...
You do love your gloom and doom. The Packers damn near lost to a crappy Cardinals team. They did lose to the Browns. I'm not sure the Steelers are...

Please don't try to read my mind. You don't do it well. Can you find even one post by anyone on this board saying the Steelers traded Pickens...
Pickens has the advantage of being in a better offense. He has the disadvantage of being the No. 2 receiver. I think that balances out enough for...
