Who Is The Biggest Issue?

The organization isn't doing Pickett any favors. In turn, Pickett isn't doing his team any favors. The passing game is complete trash. If they had no legs Ben in his last season, they win that game yesterday.

Let the guy play. If he throws picks, then he throws picks. Take off the wrapping and let him throw the rock around. Maybe he'll be worse, maybe not. What I do know is that this pathetic Pop Warner passing "attack" might only be good enough to get this team to 8 or 9 wins.

So, to answer the OP's question; I am 70% sure Pickett isn't the guy, but I don't think Matt Canada is doing much to help him. And that directive is coming from HCMT in the form of preventing turnovers.. I firmly believe Pickett will not be the day 1 starter next year and whoever their new starter is needs to be working with a new OC.

I thought the minute Dan Rooney died so did the team. I don't know what it is about Art but I just don't like him. Granted I don't know anything about anything that goes on within the organization. In my opinion he just doesn't have the charisma that the other two did.

He just doesn't seem to have a grasp of the game and a feel for football like Dan did. That's OK, but if he is making real football decisions without knowing what he's doing, that can be detrimental to the team.

We have no idea what he would do regarding hiring a new coach or firing a coach. I don't know if he has the ability to assess the situation and know whether to fire or not, or if he has real football people he relies on. The organization has hit homeruns, but Art II is an unknown. Let's hope he is good at making these decisions and can lead the team to greatness again.

Art II may surprise us all and be great at this. Only time will tell.

All 3 qb's

The wild card here is Khan. Some think that Kenny automatically get another season but let’s say Kenny is abysmal for the rest of the year, Khan didn’t pick Kenny, has no attachment to the pick and has already shown he marches to the beat of his own drum.

He could move on. The only think is they will be picking too low to get one of the top guys but if someone falls or there is someone else they like that isn’t a top 10 guy, whos to say they won’t draft him.

I've been thinking the same thing. Khan seems aggressive, which is a refreshing change from Colbert. I don't think we'll be in a position to draft a top quarterback, but I am wondering if he tries to sign a veteran free agent like Cousins or trades for a younger player with upside like Fields.

None of it matters if they don't get rid of Canada. As for a QB, Kenny got a raw deal imo. He came in with Trubisky and Rudolph as his senior talent. He was under a Canada offense. The O line sucked. Kenny should be better, but did he ever really have a chance? We can all talk about how he is not seeing the field, but has he really been mentored? How different would he be if he was brought into an offense where he is not running for his life half of the game? How about if the team did not telegraph every run play so that the run game could develop into something that strengthens the pass game? How about if the staple play was something a bit more varied than a check down pass?

I just don't think that Kenny has gotten a fair shake. So what now? Drop Trubisky (I think his contract is up after this year) and draft a new QB? Will that lead to a different result with the current system? I don't think so. Maybe pull in another veteran QB from somewhere? Going to cost a lot of money to get someone good and another 'Trubisky' is not going to be an improvement. It is also risky. Look at the big name QB shifts.....Rodgers and Watson. Crazy money paid and both out for the season or at least most of it. Even in the other major QB shifts, there are a ton of injured QBs picked up in the offseason that are now out for injury.

I think they need to drop Canada, Trubisky and maybe even Rudolph. Pull in another veteran QB and draft high. The problem is not going to be fixed miraculously in 2024 imo. Think longer term. Get a decent veteran QB that is smart. You want someone that can mentor Pickett and the new draft pick. Someone that is probably a bit over the hill, but can still play and most importantly understands how to be a QB in the modern day NFL. That is really what they should get. As for the defense, it is good now. And defense can win a lot of games.....but if the offense is so inept, it is going to not have a losing season at best. Aside from a QB, we need to make our O line better. That needs to be fixed in the draft and off season. A good O line can make a mediocre QB good, just like a bad O line can make a good QB bad (or send him to IR). We are 85% defense and 15% offense right now it seems like. We need to be more balanced.

No way they are going the route of a multi-year mentorship for an already 25 year old QB.
