It wasn’t until year 3 did they give Willson the ability to audible at will
Then why is he QB2 if they trust him to be one injury away from playing. If he is wasn’t going to play he should be Qb3. He is 24 not 22 with more starts in college than Mitch. Mitch never earned the job in camp he didn’t lose it well he is losing it each game.Why does anyone think Kenny Pickett was going to play a down of football this year unless there was an injury? The Steelers have their “Steeler way” of doing things and it’s always what’s best (even though it really isn’t.) Kenny Pickett had absolutely 0.00 chance of playing a down of football this year unless guys got injured….which is why there were a large segment of people on this board arguing that drafting a QB at 20 was a really dumb idea…and the were right on the money
The problem last season was so clearly not Ben. It’s these stupid f***ing coaches and Steelers brass that currently run the organization.
Ben wasn’t run out of town, he gladly packed his bags. He basically said that on his podcast.
Anyone with half a brain needs to start directing this ire towards Tomlin and Rooney. Not only did they waste the last 10 years of Ben’s prime, they have put us in a hole a mile deep with this dogshit coaching staff (sans Flores) and tons of mediocre talent.

I disagree that Kenny has zero chance of playing a down of football. When the Steelers are out of the playoffs or if Trubisky is truely struggling and they think Kenny is ready then he will play.

Yep. Especially if they are ridiculously out of it at the end of the year. The FO will start seeing those empty seats. They will throw Pickett out there just to get the stadium full for a game or two.

I agree with this. If we are hurtling towards a high 1st, we need to see if we should take a QB. Mitch is like Gregory Polanco. He does cool prospectey things and you get to thinking about the #2OA pick, but ultimately the guy is 28. Has a prospect/project aura but he is in his prime actually. Not gonna get better.This probably truth to it than not, which is all the more reason Pickett needs to see significant time this season.
Pickett isn't young for a modern 1st round QB, and started a lot of college games compared to most recent picks. Couple that with the Steelers are pretty likely to have their first truly bad record in decades, with an upcoming QB draft class that practically everybody in the league/media expected to be better than this past one, and you have practically a mirror image of the scenario the Cardinals had to navigate deciding to draft Murray one year after Rosen.
They have crucial holes they need to fill, and a first in decades potential top-5 pick would be crucial to starting to mend this roster mess they're in, but they need to find out whether Pickett is a QB worth dedicating themselves to or not first and foremost, and thus whether or not they need to seriously consider a QB in this coming draft.
It would be an entirely modern Steelers thing to do to get caught up in the yinzer enthusiasm for Pickett and waste the opportunity to find out whether or not he can actually hack it in the pro's first only to overlook potential better QB prospects just because they got desperate a year too early.
Play Pickett, if he shows signs of a high ceiling then great, keep him and dedicate next draft to the trenches. If not, you have potentially better options right away.
They need to figure out the most important position on the team first before anything else.
Understand the tickets are sold well beforehand. Still not a good look if they are bad enough that it turns into a Pitt vs Western Michigan attendance wise game. If they are truly out of it, I have no doubt Pickett gets one of those last home games. May be the last one against the Browns.Steelers sell those tickets whether people show up or not - and there is a massive waiting list behind those who want to surrender their season tickets.
I doubt not being at capacity will influence anything they do - unfortunately.
They did this same shit last year and somehow got to 9-8. Looks like a harder schedule though. But I think the team is better, as well.I can’t believe anyone thinks this team will win more than 5 games this season…and I have a hard time even seeing five wins lol

But I would rather see the 5-12 than the 9-8. Because if this team gets to 9-8 and back doors again to a playoff birth, Chargers/Bills/Chiefs once again destroy this team.
Astonishing that they have the highest paid defense in the league but somehow have way more holes than the offense right now.
Really? On the money u say? KP was the clear best Qb in this draft and I’ll make the argument that he’ll be better than anyone in next years draft as well.Why does anyone think Kenny Pickett was going to play a down of football this year unless there was an injury?

Congrats to him for being the best of a shitty bunch of QB prospects.Really? On the money u say? KP was the clear best Qb in this draft and I’ll make the argument that he’ll be better than anyone in next years draft as well.
You never pass up the opportunity to draft a franchise qb, unless you have one in their prime.
see Dan Marino.
do you still have doubt?Oh, I agree KP will see time if they are out of it or else Tomlin is true a moron.
Who cares about the other “Shitty” prospects if KP is a great one? Are you watching how an offense and overall team dies with pedestrian Qb play?Jay Glazer reported that the Steelers plan was to not have Pickett play a down of football this season. We all know that if it’s coming from Glazer, it’s coming from Tomlin. Pickett won’t play if they are out of the playoff race. Pickett only plays a game if Mitch gets hurt
Congrats to him for being the best of a shitty bunch of QB prospects.
