This isn’t peewee football , if someone better is available you go get him . If you’re injured and your replacement performs you’re gone . If someone making less money comes in and is comparable you’re gone .
Based on what ?
Honestly -
Who struggles with ball security. That’s the problem. If he can fix that he’d be good. But I wouldn’t have any confidence in that.
You mention the last three games but fail to mention the 1.5 games before then that also had very good QB play. The constant in those games was no Matt Canada. Your narrative is fully transparent.
He’s playing for a much better organization. He’s in better position.
So the Steelers instituted a totally new offense mid season and by the way Mitch was the qb in those games before Mason played .
The offense was the same but the play calling and philosophy changed. Kenny had a bang up game the minute Canada was fired. Even the most vocal of Kenny bashers acknowledged it. And as far as off the field, we know that Tomlin mangled the Seattle situation. That was reported. We know that Tomlin mangled the QB competition 2 years ago. And we know that Tomlin renigged on things when he brought in Wilson and handed him the starting job.
And Adidi and Dejan both have reported contradictory info to that of Dulac. I’ll believe them over the Nitter. They have no agenda. Gerry does.
The offense got better because Mason stood in there and found the open receivers down the field .
I stopped reading at “the offense got better because Mason”
True - but most are at least given a real chance to flame out - Kenny didn't have that opportunity here. But there's also another common factor in QBs being busts - BAD COACHING AND DEVELOPMENT!
Unfortunately for KP his OC wasn’t up for the job , but the organization had two years to see him up close and choose to move on . You don’t do that with truly exceptional talent unless they’re a cancer in the locker room. Kenny was becoming a distraction , but I don’t believe that was the main reason he was dealt .
It’s good to think before you post. But if ignorance is so valuable to you, keep proving it.
Again, no honorable person is going to work for an organization that lied to them.
Kenny is not a quitter,He stuck with Pitt when Notre Dame came sniffing around and carried Pitt to the mighty ACC CHAMPIONSHIP.
I'm going to need someone to explain to me how Pickett being on a team where he's guaranteed to be in a backup role is better for his career. Some of you guys are treating him like he's your son and I don't get it.
Because he was the backup here too. You haven’t heard? And he’s out from the organization that has mangled the QB position for 3 years. In Philly he’s a heartbeat away from starting behind an injury prone QB. I like his chances playing for the better organization, at least for his sake as I have no skin in the game.
Sorry, KP sounds like a girl. I can see someone pouting a little if they had played good. But after a lengthy 24-25 game audition, KP had no justifiable reason to pout about anything.
Unless he gets hurt holding the clipboard it makes Kenny ready to step in and play.
Jalen Hurts is the only reason why you and anyone else consider the Eagles this vastly superior organization to the Steelers. The idea that Pickett is going to go there and develop while sitting on the bench and turn into a franchise QB is plain wishful thinking by Pitt fans. The fact is the Steelers' QB situation is much less stable than the Eagles. You can blame it on their incompetence or chalk it up to nature of finding franchise QBs through the draft. But either way, there's an opportunity for him to either beat out Wilson for the job or step in once he inevitably fails. That will never happen in Philly.
I don’t understand the Pitt fan thing. Kenny doesn’t play for Pitt and hasn’t for a few years. I could care less who he played for in college. I supported Rudolph and he played at OSU. I’m don’t want Tyler Boyd playing here unless he comes on the cheap. Where a Steeler spent 4 years of his life doesn’t matter one bit.
If you honestly believe this, it makes it hard to take anything else you have to say seriously about this topic.
The problem with the Steelers' evaluations of personnel these days is that they're frequently wrong. They started Mitch and he was the worst QB on the roster. They started Dan Moore over Jones. They gave Dotson up for nothing and had poor OG play all year, meanwhile he was great and got an extension. They kept JPJ a rotational player for damn near half the season and he was their CB1.
How many teams have won a playoff game since the Steelers last did? If you find it hard to take seriously, Do the exercise and it might surprise you. I bet there are 10 coaches out of football who have even won a playoff game since the Steelers last did. It’s an organizational failure.
I think the last 4/5 yrs of Kevin Colbert era the drafting was subpar and they really weren’t aggressive in the free agent market . Omar seems different and better .
Circumstances change everyday , if you can’t adapt then take your ball and go home .
