Obviously a lot of Steelers talk occurs when the family is together for Thanksgiving, and we all kind of came to the conclusion that Kenny will get a good 3-4 years to figure things out, and if he can't do it, he will turn into a Charlie Batch type backup here.
I wasn't a huge Pickett fan at Pitt. I wasn't for drafting Pickett in the 1st round. I can't pin this on him. As I have said before, Pickett isn't Rodgers or Mahomes or Burrow. He's not going to be a guy who makes the guys around him necessarily look better. He's a guy who needs to be surrounded by talent, and if he is, he can work at a high level in that offense.
The Steelers should look to flip Johnson at the draft because he and Pickett are just not on the same page.
Ya there’s no doubt he’s getting a minimum of 3 years to prove himself.
Even if he can’t figure it out and they have more shitty seasons, it’s not like the last five years were any better watching them either miss the playoffs or get blown out each time.
Lots of people bring up the “he needs to be surrounded with a good team to win” argument around me, but it just seems like common sense.
Mahomes could carry his team on his shoulders with a bad team, but ultimately it would catch up to the Chiefs come playoff time.
I think it goes without saying that the Steelers need to build a good team WITH good coaching, no matter what KP becomes.
Even if he hits that second tier of QBs and becomes like a top ten guy, they aren’t winning anything if the team lacks talent and has the same incompetent coaching as it does now.
