Exactly. Pickett re-set the bar for Panther QBs, which had slipped from Dan Marino (Mount Everest) to Alex Van Pelt (Mount Washington) to the likes of Tino Sunseri (Speed bump). You can live with a game manager if he is surrounded by overwhelming talent. Pitt needs a dynamic QB, as most schools do.
We probably can't expect to find another Kenny. But I'd be fine with the next Nate Peterman or Tom Savage in this offense.
