Kenny Pickett

McCown and Fitzpatrick made a fortune over the years as backup QBs. Seemed like they were around forever. Legit backup QBs with longevity.... make a fortune compared to what we average lackey fans make. Being a career backup QB is a very honorable. Pickett is good enough to make a career out of backup QB.

 

I was never a KP basher, nor saw much to think he had tremendous talent, had a great year at Pitt, a lot of guys have one outstanding year in college and it does not translate to the NFL. Once Ben retired (even before) the O was never consistent in any phase of the game, ranking near the bottom in every category. No QB excelled, no O line production, lackluster running and passing game. the lack of talent and development is/was starts at the top. Would training and system development have made KP a better player, possibly, how good?????, in good systems average QB's have actually done decent, but the lack of talent is apparent if the surrounding cast falls off.

 

How many humans on planet earth are good enough to make a NFL roster as QB for 5 or more years?

Answer: not many

 

Both can be true

Pickett is a terrible QB and it was a horrible reach by the steelers in the 2022 draft when he would been likely drafted in the 3rd round at best if the steelers did not draft him in the first round

But this is also true he was in a horrible situation in a Matt Canada offense

 

You have no idea how much your sentiment means to me

 

Plenty of somebodies are saying it was all Mike Tomlin.

 

Name one.

 

Nothing in the pre-draft process indicated that he was going to last to the third round. That the other quarterbacks fell doesn't mean he would have done so. People really need to stop with that nonsense.
