I hear you, but it is true that the Steelers offense is very predictable and easy to defend, you can practically write off the middle of the field for pass plays and down and distance calls are very predictable, the announcers where going on and on about how they should pass more on early downs, first and goal is a run like 95% of the time, 2nd and goal 75% of the time.
I don't mind getting another transfer, but not a big lug future TE like Jurkoff, get a new OC and a totally new offense, I wouldn't mind someone that plays like a Lamar Jackson style and runs a lot out of RPO type plays, maybe some kind of up-tempo thing, but of course must be adequate at passing the ball- a total college style offense would be cool for a change
is a legit P5 qb going to transfer into pitt knowing that they have to compete for the job?
Of course not.
The defense flat out sucks.
I don't follow Illinois, maybe they don't have a stone age obsolete offensive philosophy and playbook like Pitt does?
I'm at the point where I wonder if you start drinking every day before 10AM.
This.
Not commenting on who should have been picked. I was watching Good Morning Football today and they showed passing stats. I was surprised that Howell was leading the league in passing yards and average per game
Howell can sling it. He has far more natural ability than Pickett.
This is true.
I said this about a month ago. In fact, I was more specific. Texas starting QB is a Sophomore, Quinn Ewers. When he got hurt, was a Freshman, Maalik Murphy. They have four other QB's on that roster One of the young men, is a Freshman named Arch Manning. Reach out through the many different ways of doing so, find some bug money and offer the young Manning $5 million or so to come up here and start immediately. He probably comes with a hand selected QB coach by the Manning family. Make that gentleman the new OC as well and you are set for at least the next two years.
Just a clarification, I agree about lineman in the portal but I was thinking more of recruits. I realize that it would take probably 2 years to begin seeing a return on those investments but the sooner u start the sooner u will c results.
LOL! No, but unlike you I don't worship Kenny and give him a dozen benefits of the doubt and make excuses for him just because he's a Pitt guy, he needs to improve fast or maybe they need to get someone else. I'm more interested in the Steelers having a top notch QB than a Pitt guy succeeding.
Could be that Kenny fooled everyone and had the one magical Covid year, and seemed like he surpassed guys like Howell, maybe he really is just the 4th-5th round pick he was projected as originally.
The QB you describe is the kind that Pitt needs to seek. G5 or even FCS guys who lit it up at their level, and ideally as a combo package with their OC. Guys who had success at their level and hungry to try to repeat it at the top level. No more failed loser hacks like we’ve been begging to come in.
What they're doing is working though.
i cant disagree.
Back in the day, Minnesota had a QB, Joe Kapp.
So will it work in a playoff game against a good team, a good offense? 2 or 3 straight weeks? I seriously think winning ugly is not a playoff formula.
If it wasn't for Namath beating the Colts in Super Bowl III, that Joe Kapp Vikings team would be remembered as the NFL power embarrassed by the AFL in Super Bowl IV, they lost to KC 23-7, and that KC team was new-fangled razzle dazzle crazy formation offense with the mad scientist offensive guru Hank Stram. and Joe Kapp is not in the Hall of Fame, unless maybe the CFL Hall of Fame, he was only in the NFL 4 years starting at age 29, and only had one good year. I do remember he threw 7 TD passes in one game that year, and only 19 total for the year.

As was posted above (though in much more PC terms), the franchise is a prisoner of its social experiments at this point. Their priority is go 9-8 every year to prove their social statement hire is bestest coach ever.
Joe Kapp not enshrined in Canton. Actually he had a very brief NFL career only played 4 seasons.
