Slovis to BYU

[BFo8]

Interesting choice, with Jaren Hall declaring for the draft probably a good chance to start in a P5 conference was a big part of the appeal I assume.

 

[FireballZ]

Is he a Mormon?

 

[CJsE]

Slovis doesn't have nearly enough children to be eligible at BYU

 

[Flynn #5]

I wish him well.

 

[HailToPitt725]

Is he a Mormon?

I don’t think so after seeing this:

Slovis islike beer in utah. Underwhelming

Like Jim McMahon?

well…bye

Sounds like someone who didn’t know better enough to order bottles and ordered drafts

 

[FireballZ]

Like Jim McMahon?

Plays more like Ed.

That’s hilarious.

He’ll be a fan favorite, for sure.

 

[The Ole Six-Fiver]

Appreciate he put his body on the line for our school. For 1 & 1/2 games anyway.

Good luck

 

[Cmart2004]

I don’t really think that Pitt and Slovis were a good fit for each other.

Ya think?

The irony. Now all we need is for him to transfer to WV after the comments he made at the Pitt Pep Rally to complete the circle.

Whatever

 

[Pantherguy4]

Wow! He comes off as a complete dork in this! Maybe it is better he is no longer a Panther!

He committed to the 2021 Pitt offense.

 

[New York Panther]

Like Jim McMahon?

When asked what he liked best about BYU, McMahon said "Leaving."

I think saying that Slovis and cignetti were not a good fit for each other is a more accurate statement.

 

[Gunga_Galunga]

He committed to the 2021 Pitt offense.

I don't think Whipple's offense would have been any easier for him. Either way he thought he'd be throwing to Addison.

“ He wasn’t playing at a varsity level “Mike Tomlin

 

[Joe the Panther Fan]

When asked what he liked best about BYU, McMahon said "Leaving."

I would imagine that feeling was mutual.

 

[Pantherguy4]

The guy just Does not seem to be a leader.

 

[New York Panther]

I would imagine that feeling was mutual.

I would guess more on his part since he played some good football for them, which probably went a long way toward putting up with his eccentricities. But for him, BYU had to be suffocating.

Tomlin has coached like a JV head coach this season.

 

[Parkview57]

Tomlin has coached like a JV head coach this season.

That's not it at all. Tomlin has drafted like a JV the past 4-5 years, the coaching is adequate, the material has too many "misses" to "average" players. 7-8 record with this Oline and LB ing corp whilst breaking in a rookie QB took some doing, eh?

Yeah, but his football was the only thing that the people there would have liked. If he wasn't good at that he wouldn't have lasted as long as he did.

QB has to be an alpha. Slover is not an alpha.

 

[Pantherguy4]

tally agree. Kenny is anALPHA, TYLER P was an ALPHA. SLOVIS reminds me of the kid in physics ed wrestling who immediately gave up at the first hint of aggressive moves by his opponent. Glad he is gone from Pitt!

 

[New York Panther]

Yeah, but his football was the only thing that the people there would have liked. If he wasn't good at that he wouldn't have lasted as long as he did.

It's odd that he went there since it seems like he could have played at a lot of other schools that would have been a better fit for him socially. Maybe he wasn't that good coming out of high school and BYU was his best offer. If he were there today, he would take advantage of the portal.

He went to HS in Utah and BYU had the best passing game in college football at the time. He set every meaningful passing record at the time and won every award a QB could win other than the Heisman. Top 5 draft pick too I believe. It was a business decision and a good one.

I guess we will have to disagree on this one. In my opinion, Mike Tomlin is not a good head coach, never has been. Add to that, his bringing in Matt Canada as his OC was a horrible choice.
Also, I would like to point out to you that their 7-8 record is quite deceiving. Of those 7 wins, only one of them came against a team that has a winning record and that was the first game of the season against the Bengals. Add to all of this the mishandling (my opinion) of Kenny Pickett from Day 1 and I think it shows just how bad of a coach Tomlin is.

 

[Parkview57]

Fair enough. But I will say, this is the NFL and ,IMO, and in contrast to other levels of footballs, wins are wins. I am curious has to how you would have handled KP from Day 1?

Except for his social life.

Like I said-business decision.

BYE, FELICIA!

Since the team made him their #1 pick and it was in a position of need, I think they should have put him out there with the other "starters" from day one. Tomlin and the Steelers organization treated him like he was a baby. My God, let the guy go out there and learn from playing with what Tomlin refers to as the "Varsity".
