Oh shut up you windbag.
They dont have a #1 WR. Pickens is a decent #2. That's the difference. Put a #1 on this team and Pickett is a Pro Bowler. The difference between Burrow and Pickett are the WRS
Yea. That and Burrow is extraordinarily accurate. And was in college too. You’re high.
Now there's an intelligent response. LOL! But a response expected from someone like you. I'm very happy that the majority of real Pitt fans aren't you and your type.

No argument that it has to get better but it's not horrifyingly bad, either. He's a couple of plays away from breaking out. It will come.
steelers my prediction .
10-7
pretty much fact , who knows if it will be good enough for playoffs

10-7 may come up a game short. Ravens look solid; Bengals are improving; who knows with Cleveland. 11-6 is my prediction for getting a Wild Card spot in the AFC
considering your stream of whiny posts doing this game I now consider it the best drop of the year...
Vince Young was the best QB I ever watched play college football.
He had "the look"
He had all the physical characteristics of an Elway or Bradshaw. Engineer a QB, and Vince Young would be the result.
Yet, we all know how that turned out. Intangibles matter.
We’re all rooting for Kenny. Most of his problems are coachable. (staying in the pocket, seeing the entire field, accuracy). Whether he catches on will be up to him.
My question is: Are the Steelers doing everything they can do to make him better?
Can anyone tell me without looking who the QB coach is for the Steelers?
I dont watch a ton of NFL but being at the game last night, the "pace" was maddening. Boring as hell. The Steelers had 4 drives in the 1st Half. 4. They got a TD, FG and punted twice. In the 2nd Half, they only had 3 drives before their "run out the clock drive" which resulted in 3 runs up the middle and a punt. They got a FG and TD on those drives. I dont know what more PSU Steeler fans expect out of him. He missed a couple throws but he is fine. Just needs better WRs.
Good points, and I agree that (I hope) we are all rooting for Kenny (as Pitt fans). My answer to your final question is "no, I can't." And to think further, (which ties in your first question), Kenny was never better in college than when Whipple was both his QB coach and OC. Maybe Kenny needs that presence (QB coach) to help him achieve
I agree. And the next question that begs an answer is....is there a coach in the Stiller organization that is capable of being a QB coach and helping Kenny? I have no idea who the QB coach is now. But whoever he is, he isn't doing a very good job.
You're a whiner and a malcontent who doesn't know as much about the sport as you think you do. But your posts are sometimes a good comic relief to this board.

Good questions. I certainly can't tell you whose job that is. I don't have much faith that Canada can do things to make him better.
Ok that why I left a tiny bit of wiggle room. I didn’t google it but forgot about Arians. There’s no question he was a good head coach.
But for all the winning seasons it isn’t like teams come calling often to poach someone.
Under Cowher it seemed constant.
I mean -why should any of us care what coaches do when they leave ?
Ultimately it’s more a reflection of ownership and who they pay for .
I mean - it’s not like Cowher plucked guys from obscurity -
His “tree “ are all former head coaches and coordinators who he hired .
Mike malarkey is the only home grown guy
I don’t know that I care. But I do believe it’s a reflection of the quality of the assistants.
So-
If Brian Flores gets another HC job he’s a branch , right ?
Because if capers , lebeau, etc count for Cowher
belichek has the biggest active tree - but they all get fired mid season after failing .
And the Pats currently are worse offensively than the Steelers .
But I’m sure it makes pats fans feel better
If you’d like, sure.
But how does Capers compare to Flores? Capers was a dback coach who Cowher hired for d coord then went on to be a head coach. Not quite the same. Just to be clear I wasn’t suggesting anyone had to be home grown.
And it’s interesting you brought up the Pats. Which is why I mentioned the Steelers winning seasons. Of course the Pats were FAR more successful but I would imagine just winning attracts interest.
Jus my $.02 but I don't think it counts as part of your "coaching tree" when a dude was a HC before you hired him. I think the idea is that the coaching tree is a reflection of your development and philosophies being carried forward by another coach. You can't really say that Tomlin developed Flores. If anything, Flores belongs to the Belichik tre.
