Again, I don’t see it that way TBTH.

KP is actively making intelligent decisions when nothing is there and throwing balls away now.

That’s what we were begging him to do early on when he was playing hero ball and tossing a lot of picks.

It shows growth and maturity.

That’s exactly what we want to see, not some bonehead that keeps making the same mistakes over and over.

Growth and maturity to me is when he made the call to run the ball with Snell, telling Matt "Shouldn't have a job" Canada that he wanted to run that play. That's maturity. I want to see more audibles called by Pickett.

He doesn't have the strongest arm, isn't the fastest, he probably won't be one of the best either, he'll make a career out of being smart though if he continues to stick to his confidence and belief in himself and doesn't like morons like Tomlin and Canada influence him in any way.

As I watch Moore each week, it’s becoming crystal clear LT is the absolute biggest need.

He’s done admirable work in the run game, but he’s really struggling with pass protection and penalties.

Corner is the next most crucial need, but I don’t trust Tomlin to land a corner outside the top ten picks TBTH.



They always artificially create room when needed, so I’m not overly worried about it.

Yeah, its almost comical how bad they are at drafting CBs.

KP’s intelligent and accurate, the two traits I value most in a QB.

He can’t run like Jackson, but his feet are still a weapon.

He can’t gun the ball like Allen, but his arm is still above avg.

He can’t make crazy plays like Mahomes on the run, but he has a knack for making plays on the move.

He basically has all the tools you want in a QB, which is why I wanted them to draft KP.

I’ll take the accurate, intelligent and mobile guy that can make all the NFL throws, even if everyone wants to keep reminding him he’s not elite.

Like I wrote before, Roth was never considered elite or the best of his era, and he won two SBs and did ok for himself.

Maybe don’t compare him to a piece of shit human being like Roth and I might agree with you like I want to , in regards to KP.

Who Roth was on and off the field are different things.

I always maintained he was a giant douche, but that doesn’t change the reality he won 2 SBs and broke a bunch of franchise passing records.

Yet he was never in the discussion for the best of his era.. always was behind Brady, Manning, Brees and whomever else people felt like tossing in there when dissing him.

No it isn’t just look at the free agent Wr market this off season.
Hardman Juju Aghlor are the top available his 18 million and Cooks 18 million looking really good but then your drafting a Wr or 2 this draft
 
These are a couple of really impressive on the money throws with KP under intense pressure that I didn’t notice during the game.

He’s only going to get better at this, which is highly encouraging.

This is the stuff I saw on tape at Pitt that got me so excited about him.

On the move throwing across his body with a guy on him and puts it right on Pickens mitts (bad drop):



Had a rusher come free right in his face and delivers an off platform dart to DJ:



These types of throws are exactly why I roll my eyes when anyone says KP doesn’t have a good arm.

The more I see KP play, the more he reminds me of 2 guys:

Jake Plummer and Jake Delhomme

Weren't the fastest. Didn't have the best arm and not necessarily the most accurate. Throwing motions weren't exactly clean.
But they both had that moxie and desire to win by any means necessary. They both had "above average" processing/progressions.

You can win a ton of games with those kinds of QB's. KP won't be Josh Allen or Mahommes or any superstar QB, but he's not actively hurting this team.

And people think that what you see now is what KP will be in year 4 of his career. Check out Brady or Allen or even Ben's rookie years. Much different than what they are now.
If we're on a scale and 10 is a stud QB, KP is at a 5/6 grade for this season. His ceiling is ~8
