OT: The Pittsburgher Thread: 2022 Handball season has arrived!

[ChaosAgent]

I’m a Pickett fan, just pointing out how brutal this season has been.

As of today, I'm using our Top 5 pick on a QB.

 

[Ogrezilla]

Yeah I agree. Pickett's NFL ready but he's still a rookie, and he's surrounded by a comically flawed team in just all aspects in the game.

This team is going to go 4-13 this year, even if Pickett plays well.

look at Mr. Optimist over here

As of today, I'm using our Top 5 pick on a QB.

Why though?

This team is so flawed. Why rush to take a QB instead of addressing the dozens of issues throughout the rest of the roster?

This team isn't a top QB away from contending. They need to revamp basically everything on their roster.

I absolutely think you have to consider it, regardless.

 

[Andy99]

Every ball Tua throws is high.

Yeah, he’s not accurate but doesn’t it matter when no Steeler is within 7 yards of a WR

 

[JTG]

Johnson is the easiest guy to tackle in the NFL.

 

[vodeni]

all the jet sweeps since the beginning of the season when combine would not make a first down

If it’s a substantially better, superstar type prospect I think there’s a discussion at the least. Kenny is a solid QB but he probably won’t be anything more than a Cousins if he’s lucky.

 

[NewAgeOutlaw]

There is the jet sweep! Real restraint by Canada to wait until the 3rd drive to dial it up.

 

[Common Sense]

Our WRs are some of the weakest runners I’ve ever seen. They never make anyone miss, never slip away from anyone.

 

[Andy99]

I like a few of our players but this team and coaching staff needs to be gutted…keep a few players and jettison everyone else and start over lol…it’s really that bad…it’s like an embarrassing high school team out there

 

[CheckingLineCenter]

I’ve been complimentary of KP but he straight up missed a wide open DJ on the first series

 

[PensandCaps]

This play calling is terrible. Not shocked that JuJu is going off in a different offense, I bet a lot of guys on the Steelers would boom elsewhere.

 

[Empoleon8771]

I absolutely think you have to consider it, regardless.

Why though?

This isn't really super relevant to Pickett, I just don't see the thought process there. If you take a QB again next year, you're literally in the same spot as you are now. Still a comically flawed team with a young QB who won't be able to carry it.

I just don't see the purpose of that. Doing that indirectly just scapegoats Pickett for the team just being a bad team, only to gamble on another rookie somehow doing better with this shitshow.

Because Pickett isn't the guy, and you have a chance to get the guy.

Note: it's early still.

 

[vodeni]

no fear

And you're saying this because of 2 games when the team is downright shit?

Yeah, that's not a comical overreaction or anything.

 

[Jaded-Fan]

How did this team win two games?

You can fire Canada. It will happen at the end of the year as the Steelers pretend to do something.

But Tomlin won't be fired.

And Rooney can't be fired.

So expect more of the same icoming years.

Tampa is atrocious and the Bengals bungled.

If you have a chance to draft an elite franchise QB it’s probably a good idea to take it. Now the question to me would be “are any of those guys elite franchise QB’s?” Which I think is a pretty fair question to ask

 

[NewAgeOutlaw]

Najee literally has to hurdle the line just to get 4 yards.

This line is so weak run blocking.

I answered above already.

 

[vodeni]

what a call on that third

 

[ChaosAgent]

Yeah, that's not a comical overreaction or anything.

I'm evaluating as the season goes along.

As of now, I'm taking a QB. It could change. Kenny could change my mind.

Doesn't matter if any of the QBs have elite franchise potential if they're going to be ruined by having to carry a shit team out of the gate.

Frankly Pickett shouldn't even be playing this year under ideal circumstances. Ideally you got competent QBing out of Trubisky and could be patient with Pickett. But sadly Trubisky is just awful.
