The Steelers have 186 yards from scrimmage and Najee has 103 of those lol.

Oh wow the smartest kid in the remedial class, amazing work.

Hopefully not too bad of an injury. Could’ve been his last snap as starter which would suck.

They're absolutely not pulling the plug on Pickett that quickly.

Not only would very few teams be that aggressive, do you seriously think a team as stubborn as the Steelers would do that? Of course not.

Just depends what the options are but if this season goes to the shitter (fully expect it to) they absolutely should move on. Kid showed very little.

He has played in a season's worth of games. They're absolutely not moving on from him that quickly.

Not only that, but there are way too many issues with this team to just think that replacing Pickett solves anything. They need to rebuild the offense entirely, any new QB they'd bring in would be in the same shitty situation as Pickett is currently in. It doesn't matter if there's a new QB if nothing changes with the rest of the offense, that's exactly what they tried to do with Ben to Pickett and it turned out horribly.

Does NOT matter, Poor Little Rich Kid Fart Rooney the 2nd doesn't care Will not fire Daddy's Last Hire, Oswald Bates will retire Or move on BUT not fired

It’s not because I would ever be brain dead enough to expect change.

I just want to see Tomlin get embarrassed.

Nothing else to root for with him around.

Why not go for it?
Lol Mitch is ******* awful. Don’t @ me.
Kenny is struggling. the oline and play calling do him no favors but he’s clearly better than Mitch

Why did he bail a clean pocket man. Shit

Really unfortunately outcome but it was exactly what you were talking about this week. You can’t try to spin out of the pocket at this level.

Man Tomlin’s stubbornness is killing this team. They deserve what they’re getting right now. Wallace once again got torched but he’ll be right back out there next week.

Oh well. Hockey season nearly upon us, boys.

But to the hardcore faithful... might wanna keep this handy for this season if this game is any indication:

I think it would be extremely stupid to pass on a Caleb Williams/Drake Maye because you have KP.

I’m glad hockey season is back. I can move on to being pissed about that team. This is just way more disappointing than I could have even imagined.

Said from the beginning it was on Canada and KP making progress. We can all see how that wound up.

Yeah Tomlin is the biggest issue imo. Not really close either.

Your post about hockey is right after a post about Tomlin being a stubborn coach. Reminds us all what we have to look forward to.

I have my qualms about Sullivan, his staff and the last six plus years of wet farts but they can't hold a candle to Tomlin and co.

Kinda oddly similar in a lot of ways, though. Unfortunately for Steelers fans... coaching in football far more impactful.

If the Steelers were any kind of modern organization, even a slightly better than average Pickett would be moved on from.

How many years in a row do the Chiefs have to make the AFC championship before people realize you're not beating the Chiefs, Bills, etc. in the playoffs at their stadiums with anything other than a top 10 QB, if not likely better.

Unless you have the most complete team around them possible like the Eagles or 49ers you need better than a Pickett. And clearly this team isn't anywhere near that complete.
