    With LJ and Burrow out.... Mayfield may end up being a top 5 NFL QB in 2025, if he's not already. Gotta sting Browns fans.

    Winner. How could He not be. We have people on here that can't get over Kenny Freaking Pickett who did nothing, and is still doing nothing.
    So I can imagine a team that got rid of the last Qb to win them a playoff game, and who is now looking pretty good , still discussing him.

    When it comes to Kenny Pickett, I know there is speculation on both sides of the coin about what derailed his career, but I can’t get past the fact that he is on team 4 in as many years. Maybe he just isn’t that good.

    I see the point about Darnold, but he is the exception and not the rule. Darnold’s one good year came with one of the leagues best receiving duos.

    Mayfield had a train wreck of a year in 2022, but has otherwise shown flashes throughout his career. I’m not sure that this one is a fair comparison to Pickett.

    There is a point about Pickett’s injury history, but there are also many teams who would hold onto potential talent, letting them work through their injury concerns.

    Still think Canada played a part in sabotaging the success of the KP selection.

    lesson learned?

    You need a good coaching staff to maximize the potential of these draftees. Cant put it all on the players.

    - In 24 starts for the Steelers, Pickett threw 13 TD’s
    - Rodgers has 8 TDs in 4 games with the Steelers
    - Wilson had 16 TDs in 11 games started with the Steelers
    - Fields had 5 TDS in 6 games started with the Steelers
    - Tribusky had 8 TDs in 7 games started with the Steelers

    One is not like the others…..Pickett only averaged about .5 TD per game.

    Maybe, but he also wasn't a top-five pick like Mayfield and Darnold.

    Said another way, our rag tag group of QBs listed above, excluding Pickett, started a total of 28 games and threw for 37 TDs.

    The steelers had also 2 30 points game with Rudolph.Overall if we include the playoffs game in Buffalo,Rudolph had 5 TD in 4 starts...Not great but it was one less that Kenny in 8 less starts

    And I don't think that Rudolph is a good QB

    Weird fact- Since drafting Ben, the number of wins by Steelers' quarterbacks after leaving the Steelers is exactly 2, one by Mason Rudolph last year in Tennessee and the other by Kenny Pickett in Philly. No other former Steelers' quarterback has won a game for another team in 23 years.

    Don't look now but Darnold and Daniel Jones lead the entire NFL in QB efficiency. The topsy turvy world of the NFL.

    The Raiders should give Pickett a chance to start. He can't do any worse than that old, washed up scrub Geno Smith.

    You could easily chalk up his lack of success to Matt Canada, and I would argue til I am blue in the face that MC absolutely had something to do with it.......but, can you also add the Eagles, Browns and now the Raiders to that list too? Just incompetent coaching? I don't think you can realistically draw that conclusion. KFP is definitely lacking something. I don't know if it is skill, attitude, drive, attitude, big hands, attitude or something else, but something is making every team see him as expendable.
