Before yinz start fitting him for a yellow jacket, you might do well to investigate what has been written about his deficiencies, particularly at left tackle. I, agree, he is better suited at guard and should have a successful career in the NFL, bearing in mind that this is a Tomlin team, where player development is a mere afterthought.
How long will this KP hangover last?
I can't wait to follow his All Pro career. If he is indeed that good the cream will rise to the top.
If the Steelers hadn't taken him, where do you think he would have ended up, and what round?
Not first round, that's for sure.
He had a good year for us and we did well with him and JA leading the way.
But he's graduated and is on his own now. If he's an NFL starter caliber QB, he'll ball out somewhere. All power to him, time will tell.
KP is a professional football player.
The Steelers are a professional football team.
THE PLAYERS GET PAID. It is ALL about the money!!
The more money the better!!
If the Steelers were such a bad situation for KP, he could have pulled a Jim Kelly or John Elway and refused to sign. Take his chances elsewhere.
Tomlin liked what he saw with KP and gave him a chance. It didn't work out. Both sides moved on. Win/Win.
KP took his $16 million guaranteed contract with him. He doesn't have to take another snap in the NFL to be set for life.
Such a raw deal!!!
Well, that's what I keep coming back to. Pitt fans think they know some secret about him that no one else does. These coaches in the league talk. They've seen the film on him and know how to adjust for the circumstances. They've seen what special QBs look like in practice. And look what value he fetched in the trade. Wasn't much.
Being the 6th tackle taken doesn't mean he was the 6th best tackle prospect in the draft.
The Steelers have taken 6 offensive linemen in the first or second round under Tomlin. You seriously think this group is "terrible"?

He fetched what the market bears for such a QB…as Washington and Chicago found out too.
ESPN has New Orleans taking Jackson Powers tonight before the Steelers and then the steelers taking Washington’s #2 receiver (Polk). They then have SF taking Frazier from WVU.
Polk goeth and Polk cometh (pretty sure he's brothers with the one who just transferred from Pitt).
Amazes me how many players Washington is having drafted in the first couple of rounds. That program was almost dead not long ago.
And that’s a huge testament to Khan/Weidl (Weidl in particular since he was responsible for Philly’s interior strength on both sides). In hindsight, Colbert really dropped the ball his last few years in charge.
If the Steelers select a WR, I want Troy Franklin.
I mean they have to get one tonight somehow.

I’m getting nervous, teams keep trading up but so far both centers are still on the board.
That defense is going to be tough.
I’m disappointed that powers-Johnson is gone. That changes everything. We may go receiver? But the Bungles need one too and pick before us. I really like Adrian Mitchell from Texas.
By drafting the hoopie? If we draft him we are reaching a bit out of need. He’s in the 60’s as far as best player available. If he’s available I wouldn’t mind taking the best player available and then trading up to get a center with our 3rd pick.
Personally, I liked Frazier more. If they think the have internal options at center, I wouldn’t be opposed to WR, though.
Those are the two I want. Although I wonder how much further Frazier would drop.
Give me the Hoopie. Let's get nasty up front. The way this second round is going, it'll be some dude no one ever heard of.
If they want to get tricky, they could take Adrian Adonas and then move up to get Frazier.
A lot of value available if you look at best players avail. I wonder why Mitchell (wr) has dropped. He’s a 1st round prospect.
Man I love the lair sometimes. You guys never let me down.
Who the f#ck is in charge of these highlights? Two Drake Maye games against Pitt. A Joe Alt game against Pitt. Two Frazier games against Pitt. Please chill out with this stuff; NIL is bad enough.
Mitchell supposedly has character issues, to the point that some teams took him off their draft board regardless of his talent.
I think the Steelers are just going to run the ball every play next season. Who needs revievers. Ha.
