You mean Superbowl champion Kenny Pickett.
Kenny taking snaps in a SB.. smh.
Yeah, he made the wrong decision.
The Kenny Pickett trade/Signing Russ Wilson will probably go down as one of the biggest blunders the Steelers have ever made. But sadly par for the course for the Tomlin Error.
Pickett has the same amount of super bowl rings as tomlin.
Especially if rumors are true that Russ couldn't change plays and the Steelers don't want him next year.Quote:

No, but he is in the SB stat sheets.Quote:

That game was over for a long time so even if he had a pick 6 it wasn’t going to matter. Hell, they even let him throw on 4th down instead of punting.Quote:

Most players would probably want that record. Peyton and Brady probably stay in to finish the game at QB but Hurts doesn’t seem to care about that.

Kenny got a bad deal here. Thats my honest opinion. I hope he does well elsewhere, except not for a hated rival. Thats my closing take on KP.

I did joke that Kenny might get in because the score was so lopsided.
The Steelers failing to draft Dan Marino was one of their biggest blunders ever. Letting Kenny Pickett go isn't even on the radar. So far, Kenny Pickett is a backup quarterback. Letting a backup quarterback go is not one of the biggest blunders ever. Let's see Kenny earn a starting QB spot and lead his team to a Super Bowl. THEN we can talk about what a blunder it was to let him go.
If having one Super Bowl ring means Tomlin is a HOF coach, then does Kenny's Super Bowl ring mean he is a HOF quarterback? :boink:Quote:

We made it hard as hell to succeed.
If the Steelers kept Pickett they would be entering the final year of his contract and gearing up to draft his replacement/sign a new deal. They threw all their chips in on Russell Wilson and went absolutely nowhere.Quote:

Browns say HI.

lmao 3rd team in 4 years
I can’t wait for the reasoned and measured reactions overnight.
That would be funny if the Steelers weren't about to go on their SIXTH starting QB in three years.Quote:

unless we go with Russ we will probably have a QB with the same stat.Quote:

Maybe it was a case that they liked him so much that they did him a favor similar to the way the Bears did Fields a favor (or thought they did) by trading him to Pittsburgh.Quote:

Since trading away Kenny Pickett, the Steelers have now gone through two quarterbacks, alienated another to the point where he fled to the Jets, and are trapped in a bidding war with the Giants to get 41 year old Aaron Rodgers. Now there's word going out that Pittsburgh isn't a desirable place to play.
The grass isn't greener on the other side. Beware of seeking out "upgrades" to what you have and being so quick to run dudes out of here.
I have heard they would bring back Mason Rudolph.. What an embarassment this once respected organization has turned out to be.Quote:

2020 was the year to get a replacement for Ben through the draft. Couldve had Jordan Love or perhaps Herbert. We just needed a little more foresight and long term thinking and we’d be better off today.
