OT: The Pittsburgher Thread: Steelers need a new ball thrower for the handball game thingy

[Son Goku]

f*** yes

 

[xlm34]

YES. I’m so pumped about this

 

[Coastal Kev]

ME SO HAPPY

GET YOUR DAMN QB

 

[Pengwins]

so where’s all the loser Pitt fans that run their mouth all year? Is this clown any good or what ?

 

[OnMyOwn]

He was the only one I wanted if they were gonna go with a guy in rd 1. I’m cool with this.

 

[CheckingLineCenter]

Ugh

 

[MayorofWBS]

Kenny "did he just fumble again?" Pickett

Can't wait to see baby hands in action in December and January

 

[Hockeygod66]

Pickett is like picking Tannehill…not a huge upside…don’t think he’s going to be a franchise QB and take them to the SB just like Tannehill hasn’t

The odds are against him he'll need to work his ass off and I think he will but it might not be enough. Spring training just got more interesting at least. Best part is not trading any picks away for a QB so they have them all if this fails.

 

[VanIsle]

I wonder if they picked the right QB

 

[Mr Jiggyfly]

I haven’t sweated a pick that much since Roth…

First time I remember ever pacing back and forth before a pick hoping not to hear Willis’ name.

I hate Tomlin a little less this evening.

 

[SomeDude]

Welp, we got our Bubby Brister.

We could have gotten the gloved wonder still if we traded down. Wasted picked, wasted opportunity

 

[xlm34]

Honestly shocked that they didn’t go with Willis. Happy but shocked.

 

[Mr Jiggyfly]

I wonder if they picked the right QB

If KP doesn’t work out, they simply gave up a late round first to find out.

I can live with that.

 

[Harvey Birdman]

For pure drama. KP is the best pick for the Steelers. This ether ends up as a big home town type glory story. Or this ends up being a plane nose dive crashing into toxicity lake.

No matter what this is going to be a ride.

 

[Empoleon8771]

We literally have a 4 year sample size of Pickett playing well in the Pittsburgh climate, but yes keep knocking him for his "tiny hands".

I care about whether he can throw a ball accurately and how he'd be a QB. Any shit like hand size or wonderlick scores is completely irrelevant.

 

[ChaosAgent]

LOLOL.

I just f*****g love it. Even if I don't love the pick. I love the sheer ridiculousness and the confirmation that the Stillerz are huge Pitt fans. And Kenny and his family's reaction.

Bring on the Trupickett competition.

So silly. Love it.

 

[Smoke]

If it means Rudolph has to play in the USFL I'm all for it.

 

[VanIsle]

Feel good moment of the draft. . .

Don't let me down. . .

I worry about how he feels pressure (not good) way more than his hands. Wear the gloves.

 

[dogthateats]

It’s funny watching these fan bases as they announce the pick. You can tell most of them have no idea who the player is when they pause for a few seconds and then they start screaming their heads off.

 

[CheckingLineCenter]

I liked Willis more than Kenny but it’s really hard to rank QBs if you can’t sit in a room and talk to them, especially a guy like Willis who is so far from being a finished product. If they didn’t think he was going to be possible to coach the warts out then ok.

But I didn’t want a QB. I don’t think this is a good pick. I very much hope I’m wrong and Kenny is the guy for the next 15 years.

 

[Pengwins]

Pickett is almost 24 yrs old already? Lol

 

[pistolpete11]

Lesser of 2 evils.

Happy would be an overstatement, but I can live with it.

How are the Steelers huge Pitt fans? I don’t recall them having any other Pitt players on their roster ever except Conor
