Yup. The national media fawns over him and praises his smash mouf neanderthal approach. What's hilarious is Tomlin always talks about not living in their fears but he coaches the game doing exactly that. Its almost as if he doesn't trust his defense to overcome the occasional mistake on offense.
i know man, im with you. you have to have a good environment and surrounding cast if you expect a rookie qb to come in and succeed.
As I and others have pointed out this was the rap on him coming out of college. Yeah he had the injury but I do recall he played in their bowl game. So he was completely recovered. The injury may have been a minor part of the reason teams passed on him but the biggest issue was the space between his ears.
That the thing that many dont get. Im pretty sure just about everyone who defended KP has claimed he was the answer at QB. The issue is the situation is so toxic in this organization that theres not a QB not named Mahomes who could make this offense work. KP may or may not be a viable starter and for sure there are legitimate criticisms regarding his game, but a final assessment is not possible based on his tenure in this offense. Quite frankly I dont think KP is a particularly likeable guy. Im no fan of Fields but he appears to be more of a stand up guy than KP was.
Interesting that the Pats are sitting thier No1 Pick Maye. I agree with you but that seems to be the rare exception.
Yeah Diontes average of 5 receptions for 50 yards per game this year is truly impressive!
dionte johnson had 130+ receptions for over 1500 yards last two years. he was frustrating as all hell but he was productive as a steeler.
DJ is another legit WR they don’t have now .
Yeah he is a decent receiver but hes not a No 1. Hes a number 2 with a ten cent head who was a drive killer with his drops, running back behind the markers and key fumbles. Cant have two cancers on the team. But you are right that you cant get rid of a decent receiver without finding a viable replacement.
If his contact was half as much AAV he’d still be a Steelers
Fields is way more likable as a person than Kenny. I heard too many stories from students about Kenny’s douchbaggery when the cameras weren’t around.
Who are the receivers in the NFL you watch regularly that you think are legit 1s?
yeah, faint praise (if im spelling and using that dumb cliche correctly). but reality is, pickens quitting mid game, other wrs dropping balls and a defense that couldnt make one stop was why we arent 4-1 and in sole place of leading the afc north, not fields..
i was fine getting rid of him but i never thought in a million years that Khan wouldnt add someone legit. im not even talking about an Ayiuk but someone better than freaking jefferson and scottie miller. just an absolute failure by this organization.
Agree 100%. Fields nor anyone they plug in at this point in time or in the past few years, including the HOF BR, is not the problem.
for sure.
Is it possible that no decent receiver wanted to play for a Mike Tomlin offense?????
Mt washington usage is frustrating. Arthur Smith said last week that he's the most physically gifted Tight End he's ever coached. That's saying a lot, even if hyperbolic. (dont call me out if that's not a word)..
Spoiler it won’t
IMHO, the problem with Dionte was that he would've been a nice #2 receiver, but he insisted on being paid like a #1,
