Pickett just isn’t good

under throws everyone, throws 3 yard passes on 3rd and long and doesn’t use his legs ever thy key on the rb every time on the rpo.
 
He doesn't look too good, that's the obvious, BUT - I don't think any of you realize how hard the position is to play - especially considering he's young and in his first year (save a game) + the OL just can't pass block to save their lives. If you don't see progression next year, fine - say whatever you want. Do I think he'll be an "elite" QB...doubtful, but he's certainly not as bad as most think`
 
By the way, don’t get me wrong I like Pickett. He just isn’t playing well
 
14-18 for 142 with a drop and receiver running out of bounds before catching the ball. Should be 16-18 for about 170. Not sure what you expected but Pickett hasn't been the problem this half.
I’m a big “stats don’t lie” person, but they are very misleading in this game. How many times did Pitt receivers catch the ball off the ground, or behind them, or a 1-handed circus catch. How many completions were at the line of scrimmage or within a yard. Pickett has not an accurate qb this game.
 
How many 3rd downs has this team picked up when it’s 7 yards or more for the 1st down?

I’m willing to bet less than 15%. That tells you a LOT about your QB.

No
He shouldn’t.

Ffrench made a great catch wide open to save his butt. A-J made a great catch to snag a ball off the turf poorly thrown.

We have 7!! Swing passes. Congrats he completed all of those. We have no vertical threat and they are jamming the LOS. That is the game plan!
 
20 of 25 for 216 and a TD (to go with the 2 drops/run out of bounds)

I guess it doesn't matter what he does in your mind; you predetermined that he's having a bad game- he's not.

He’s an idiot then and has no clue what he’s watching.

Not saying he’s playing horrible, but certainly not having a great game.

That may have been the best pass he’s thrown all season.

Let’s just say he did not impress in the first half, but has turned it around this half.
 
21 of 27 for 279 and 2 TDs

Just admit this was an idiotic comment to make- you will feel much better about yourself.
The last TD pass was definitely a beauty but otherwise I ‘d have to say your comments touting stats to suggest he had been playing well when he definitely wasn’t seem more idiotic.
 
What were you expecting his line to read today?

20 of 15 for 900 yards and 47 tds?

He and kirk have been the MVPs so far.

If all you use to judge a qb is stats line, then turn your tv off.

He was below average in the 1st half. Wasn’t accurate, wasn’t hitting wr’s in stride, couldn’t push the ball downfield.

He’s been MUCH better in the 2nd half. I’m not sure what’s so hard to understand about this.

Pretty sure Tino has the highest completion percentage in Pitt history...confirmed greatest Pitt qb of all time?
