Would be great if they tried some fly/post routes with CA3 as well. Keep the deep threat ominous all game and profit from the newly available rushing space.

Well, Pittsburgh is also Home of the Head Coach and Back Up QB.
Bradshaw and Noll forever set that standard.

I think this game was a outlier for Rudolph, but he has earned another start.

I don't know if it was an outlier, honestly. I think he's just comfortable and developed as a QB. How good of a QB, we will see. Mason and Kenny coming out of college were similar. It's probably going to take Kenny as long as Mason to develop.
Mason yesterday just looked totally comfortable to me. Honestly haven't seen a QB that comfortable and confident since Ben threw his last game. This may be a blessing in disguise. Sitting Kenny for Rudolph I don't think hurts Kenny in any way.

He's not going to throw for 290 yards every game. It was an absolute outlier.
The question is "by how much" and "why".
I think there's a real compelling argument that Cincinnati without Burrow is just a very good match up for us and that's why our offence managed to carve them up twice. How good those QBs would be against a non-gimme...

His last start was the Detroit game that went for 10 minutes of overtime and where he had 50 attempts. That's also an outlier and also not a throwing performance to be proud of. (Also PFR says he threw for 242 yards fwiw).

If Mason learned anything from Ben it was how to run the offense in spite of Tomlin.
Mason would have had a better career if he was drafted anywhere else. Edit: same with Pickett.

The only thing that KP has "tore apart" in the league is parts of his own body.

Good on Warren also for showing how to block on the end around to Austin. He destroyed his guy.
It's amazing to me how high a mountain some people will climb to defend someone as mediocre as Kenny Pickett.

The more things change the more they stay the same.
The surprise that is no surprise. Tomlin is back next year and for years to come if the Steelers have their way. If you loved this year you will love the next decade plus to come.

8-9 teams picked 14-17 last season.
No coach has embodied the definition of mediocre any better. We are going to see it again this year. 9-8 upcoming.

18 years of mediocre Mike.
Pickett is what? Year 2 and a reflection of the coaching staff. Starting with Tomlin
All forgiven

Yup. When Minnesota traded for Dobbs he had that great first game. It went downhill fast after that. Good on Mason for taking advantage of a shit Bengals defense. Wonder how he fares on the road in a hostile environment.

Pickett is a 4th round talent who lit up the ACC as a 23 year old with Jordan Addison as the main star.
I feel badly that I got suckered by it, but everything he has done has shown that 2021 was a fluke in a historically bad QB class. Your whataboutism with Tomlin is hilarious though. I despise Tomlin.

Maybe so. I mean, I hope Pickett makes it in this league, seems like a nice kid. It probably won't be in Pittsburgh for sure. Neither will another young QB in Pittsburgh as long as Rooney II and Clown are here, That's for dam sure.
You despise Clown but what? I think you were studdering or something.

It is possible to not like Tomlin as a coach but also think Pickett is not likely a good QB in the NFL based on what he showed in all seasons except 2021. In fact, it is easy. No "but" needed.

I think this applies to any young QB coming in day 1.
If the staff isn't good, it'll take them a real long time to develop.
