Thing with Rudy is he has always played pretty good in preseason. But in games he struggled one too many times in the red zone threading that needle. He is deep throw capable, but the lack of mobility did him no favors either. I think in the right situation he could be a starter. Not a high end starter but capable of moving the ball. But he has to be on a team that has a damn good O-Line. That limits his deficiencies. Maybe the 49ers.

I am not saying Pickett couldn't be the next Aaron Rodgers. I mean it is too soon to tell. But each week he struggles does lower than chance little by little. Right now I would take Kirk Cousins ceiling if it was offered. Not a bad QB. Win some games and get into the playoffs now and again. If you put the right team around him you might win it all.
Wasn't Cousins/Carr about Pickett's upside from the start? No one thought the Steelers were drafting a future Hall of Famer. There really isn't much I'll take away from this year, particularly after watching the rookies from the past couple of years when just about all of them looked like busts. Year two is where you'll see struggles, but want to see some flashes and then year three is the make or break in terms of a second contract.
I’m saying that
You and everyone else.
Pretty much. I didn't see anyone saying he was more than that outside of people generally just not knowing what is there until they see it unfold.
OMG can you make anymore excuses for him already. If he succeeds it is because he overcame but if he fails it is because of O'Canada. How about this. If he succeeds it is because he worked hard and took his game to the next level. If he fails it is because he couldn't. Period.
I don't think two seasons as a starter with the third being the key year is being generous. That's the timeline for QBs to break out. Now if he goes out there and looks like Zach Wilson does in year two, then I think you have to consider moving on. If he looks like Mac Jones or Jalen Hurts in year two, you are still in wait and see mode. Maybe he starts to look more like Trevor Lawrence, then you have something good moving forward.
Yeah don't make excuses like you did for Rudy right?
Your so pretty
Your so pretty
ok so what youre saying is,,,, the steelers need to build a great d, and a running game around kp,, for greater than 8-8-1 success....?
The guy puts his opinion out there. If this is all you got, maybe you should just watch.
Ford is daily showing patterns very similar to cooch. Of how smart he is and how dumb everyone else is. Plus everyone is well versed on his opinion there is an over abundance of it in the thread. Over and over and over again. In the process trying to pass off a decent amount of it as factual. With plenty of extreme stances. Maybe people would respect his opinion more if he wasn't such a twatwaffle in his approach. Perhaps you are not seeing the forest through the trees. As some of cooch's opinions are ok but being an extreme tool he gets responded too in various ways. No different here. You share the guys opinion on some things I get it, but you get often in life what you give. Some will ignore his behavior and some won't. Really nothing more than that.
Yeah, you could tell Ben was special right away
Get him another HC and I think the team/organization does better....unfortunately Tomlin is tied to Pickett. So he is going nowhere in the near future. So you have that.
But they could upgrade the OC to someone competent. It worked well for the Jags. We said it last year but nothing transpired. If you are going to keep a HC that strong suit isn't X and O's surround him with people that have that strong suit. You have two coordinators that need to be shown the door. Fail to do that and groundhog day will be alive and well.
