I want Kenny to succeed as much as anybody, but the Pitt fans (online/media figures in general, the football discussion is good here) who are also Steelers fans are absolutely insufferable when it comes to Pickett.
On a local level instead of national, it is without a doubt the most cultish devotion to a qb since Tebowmania (not saying they are remotely comparable talents in any fashion).
I'm not going to write off any offensive player on the team until changes are made, but I also have 0 trust in the organization to develop any of these guys even with Canada gone.
There was never really going to be much rational discussion around Pickett because of where he went to school. You have Pitt fans who will blindly defend him, but you’ll have a lot of Penn State fans and WVU fans that will find a way to criticize his every move.
I went to Pitt, I have season tickets unfortunately for Pitt football so I’ve seen his whole career, and I obviously want Pickett to succeed for a bunch of reasons. But he hasn’t played well so far at all even considering the Canada factor. He deserves some patience though. That was a gauntlet of teams he just went through.
