Steelers and Sam Darnold

I didn't pimp him. I wanted Linderbaum. I have not only pointed this out to you repeatedly, I have dug up the evidence in the past, too. I didn't hate the Pickett pick, but was primarily happy it wasn't Willis, who was a bust with the Titans.

 

Try again. An ankle injury cost him a month late in his second season. When the Eagles turned to him to fill in for Hurts the following year, he got hurt. When the Browns traded for him and gave him a chance to compete for the job last year, he missed most of the preseason with another injury. There were also multiple concussions as a Steeler that cost him games.

That and Tomlin's ridiculous mishandling of him derailed Pickett's career.

 

I'm telling you what my personal evaluation of him was. There is no hindsight about it in regard to how I felt about him or had him graded.

I don't think he was ever considered a late round QB by anyone. It's just that most who had him being drafted that high felt that it was because it was a weak quarterback class and a team was stretching a bit, not because he was an elite talent. As I said, I thought they should have waited until the second round to take him even if they had to move up. I thought they should have used the first pick for a potential impact player because I didn't see value in Pickett at that point of the draft.

 

He was the best quarterback in the class, the Tomlin got a hold of him.

 

What's going on with you? I don't remember you claiming that I was spewing BS, then providing evidence to support my claim.

I mention the injury with the Eagles because it was the first time he played in a decent system in the NFL and he had a chance to develop his game and show something for another team as Darnold did with the 49ers. I thought that was obvious.

Injuries cost Pickett the opportunity to finish out the 2023 season without the shackles of the Matt Canada offense. The offense looked much better with Pickett as soon as Canada was gone. The injury with the Eagles cost him a few starts in a competent NFL offense, something he didn't get in Pittsburgh. The injury in Cleveland kept him out of the entire preseason, cost him his shot at that job.

I "spewed" accurate information. Thank you for helping back that up.

 

Well if you ask some here Tomlin/Canada mishandled him so badly he was no longer able to be fixed

It’s easier for some like Scribble to make false claims and stick to them rather than admit to being wrong and seeing the obvious facts

 

I graphed the increase

 

KFP is a bust .. He was a bad pick he has happy feet and is not mentally tough .. When he asked for a trade because he had someone to compete with told me all I needed to know ...He should be grateful for the money he has been gifted in the NFL... IMHO him and Mason are not good enough to even be in the NFL they are fortunate the QB position is very weak the past 5 years or so..
