OldMaid 2,130 Posted December 20, 2023 9 minutes ago, League Champion said: That's just ridiculous!!! He's a nice WR, he's not in the same conversation as Justin Jefferson, Tyreek Hill, Kupp or Jamar Chase. As for Pickett, He was having one of the worst NFL seasons OF ALL TIME prior to getting hurt. 6 TDs & 4 interceptions in 12 games. It doesn't get worse than that. When Pickett is performing well- have you seen him? Hell, even when Pickett isn’t throwing on target, I’ve seen him snatch some balls that would have been uncatchable for other WR’s. He’s a freak! Again, I feel a lot of this stems from the steaming pile of dogsh!t that was Matt Canada’s playbook. I think Pickett will improve next year. I could be wrong, but I’m optimistic he can turn things around. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

His best performances were in line with a Top 10-15 QB. His best game was 278 yards vs the Bengals. In that game he had ZERO TDs. I like the kid and am rooting for him but he's just not a starting NFL QB. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

And again, you’re ignoring the “Canada” factor. Not saying Kenny doesn’t have things he needs to work on, but I think confidence is one of the biggest, and with a different offensive scheme, he has a lot of room to improve. Guess we’ll have to wait and see. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

You said it was "stupid" to suggest that there's no talent on this team. All I see are role players, #2s at best on good teams. They need to upgrade at almost every position on offense.

Cloaca du jour 2,150 Posted December 20, 2023 Todays players dont care about winning. They want to promote their Brand. They want $$. If you asked pickens if he would take 50 receptions for 700yds and win a superbowl or catch 150 balls and 2000yds recieving and not win it all. You know what they would pick. Every time. Thats a diva reciever. Deontay is the same way...so are AB, and Juju... Its a steeler flaw. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

That's like having bald tires on a Ferrari You could throw the whole family out there and it wouldn't matter. You said they have no talent and I mentioned Watt, That team has more talent then you think and why not playing up to it is on Tomlin and the whole coaching staff. I agree if they cut Tomlin he will have a job elsewhere immediately but he gone stale in Pitt and has lost the team this season. A change of scenery would do him and the Steelers both good.

Honestly, I don’t know if any coach could have held the team together this year. The frustration’s been building for a long time. I’m hopeful to see what next year will bring. I agree that Tomlin’s getting a bit stale, but he seems well respected (at least up until now). Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

The Real timschochet 6,764 Posted December 24, 2023 Rudolph had a good game. I don’t really think he’s the answer at QB but maybe he can prove me wrong. On the other hand, Jake Browning went back to being a third string QB, so that helped. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
