I can't believe people still think Fields is anything more than a back up quality QB lol
I don't want to be petty but did you see how Kenny played tonight lolI can't believe people still think Fields is anything more than a back up quality QB lol

I live in Philly and had it on in the background while I was doing other things around the house so only ended up watching two of his drives, but I legitimately did not see him attempt one pass beyond the line of scrimmage lol. There was a screen pass to a RB that went for like 20 yards but it was on a 2nd and forever play after Pickett took a sack.It's legitimately incomprehensible how low Pickett's yards/attempt is in the pre-season so far. The dude is averaging 4.5 yards/attempt, it's literally just the "checkdown QB" meme. 67 passing yards while going 11/13 on passing attempts, how is that even possible?
I didn't get to watch the game, but comments on Reddit in the PGT are basically "Pickett does not deserve to be in the NFL".

What's it like to be right all the time.

I was onboard with the KP selection initially bc I thought it was the right move. Seemed to be a high floor/low ceiling guy and that is what Tomlin wanted with his risk aversion. This appeared to be a match.
But the more I saw of KP, the more his warts started to show. Escaping the pocket too early (kinda like Fields), missing fairly easy reads, etc. The 1 positive you could say about him was he was fairly mobile and he seemed to have some balls and his teammates seemed to rally for him briefly.
What should really be called into question is how in the world KP and Mitch played in front of Mason Rudolph for 3/4 of the season. The only reason MR saw action was due to KP's injury.
This again is an inability of the offensive coaching staff to rectify problems when they are glaringly obvious to the casual observer.
There are many facets in which I believe Tomlin is in over his head, but we now have confirmation he doesn't comprehend offensive football at this level. I've got little general complaints about his defense (maybe bc it's stacked with talent), But Tomlin is a toddler asked to do a physics problem when it comes to offense.
Eh, there were some pretty adamant KP defenders around last year. Some of them were motivated by Tomlin bashing, some are H2P guys, and some just were optimistic to a fault, but there was a large segment of the fanbase that was insistent that KP was really a good QB being held back by Tomlin and Canada and the WR's and global warming and whatever else they could think of.I don't think there was one person who thought he was a franchise QB.

The reality was that people wanted to see KP away from Canada, many believing Canada was the reason for the offense being so pop-whiz. KP has looked the same in his work in Philly.Eh, there were some pretty adamant KP defenders around last year.

Kp Mitch and Mason are all backups.
that still doesn't make them equal.Kp Mitch and Mason are all backups.
God, Plainview is back after his laughable Pickett takes last year. What a self-assured clown. Say "Yinzer" please.
Better stop that bullying around here!
He doesn't, I just felt your last message was kind of low effort and annoying, so I wanted to make fun of your previous bad takes.I don’t know what Kenny Pickett has to do with anything here lol
I swear I just want to have engaging conversations about Steelers football in here, but the opportunity to dunk on him was too greatI think the thing I'm going to enjoy most about whenever the Steelers have a franchise QB again is less petty nonsense.
Anyway back to Steelers football, Kozora is doing his training camp grades and of course the QB position is the most important one.
He's been going to all these practices and I haven't so it's hard for me to really disagree but I was a little surprised Russ had the highest grade. In his mind, Wilson has a large enough sample size in camp to properly grade him.
I thought the writeup on Fields was pretty insightful, praising his growth, decision making, and ability to go through reads (which we've talked about a lot in this thread). On the negative side, "I have never seen a quarterback have as many throws batted down at the line of scrimmage as Fields". He counted 12 in total through camp + joint practice. Also claims his footwork feels spotty.
