The Future QB of the Steelers is...

[Fire Goodell]

Those that wanted Sam Darnold ... he has SUCKED the last two weeks with 8 picks.

I woulda been all for Winston, he's hot and cold but when he's on, he's on

Darnold has thrown 5 picks the last two weeks, both losses.

but that is kinda like throwing 8 picks, you're gonna lose.

Darnold and Carr both have come back to earth after hot starts to the season.

Kind of hard to blame Carr when the O line sucks and receivers are dropping g balls. I think you might know a little about that problem.

Lol... This board has no problem blaming or own QB for the same issues.

[Buckinnuts]

Future..qb....Kenny Pickett!

Yeah Ben is bad because of the o line and drops.

[teegre]

There goes my plan. Kenny Pickett is no longer going to ge available on Day 2. If we want him, it’ll have to be R1.

Steelers scouts were seen watching Grayson McCall (Coastal Carolina).

Sam Darnold? lol.

Coastal Carolina? LOL.

[DesertSteel]

Coastal Carolina? LOL.

Yeah they were the 14th ranked team in the country until they lost their last game. They also finished in the top 25 last year.

It’s not unheard of for a small school QB to succeed in the NFL.

Been watching a lot of them the last two years cause they came through for me betting except for last week. That said I don't like him as a pro QB and doubt he does good in the NFL.

I heard that some guy from Miami, Ohio did pretty well.

I don’t know what’s happening to Darnold, I’ll I know is he’s following a long list of highly touted SC QB’s who have failed at the pro level - the only one who had ‘some’ success was Carson Palmer. Maybe the SC system is just good at hiding the QB’s flaws.

How many pro receivers come out of USC? Seems like they've always got a couple that turn out more successful than the quarterback. Maybe that has something to do with it ...

If you listened to Darnold in interviews before the draft, you got the feeling that he didn’t know the game. I still stand by that thought that he just doesn’t get it. He’s got some physical talent, but he doesn’t have the mental capacity or the “it factor” that QBs have.

Bingo!!! Kedon Slovis looked like the next great QB… until people realized he was simply tossing the ball anywhere near Drake London (6’5” 210) and hoping London would come down with the reception. If Jaxton Dart hadn’t been injured, Slovis would already have been benched.

Kenny Pickett ranked No. 1 QB in NFL draft by Mel Kiper Jr.

Kiper: “Pickett is making a leap not unlike Joe Burrow’s from two seasons ago.”

By Mike Wilson Oct 26, 2021

ESPN draft analyst Mel Kiper Jr. released his 2022 NFL draft rankings on Tuesday, and he placed Pitt quarterback Kenny Pickett atop his list of available signal-callers. And in addition to ranking Pickett No. 1 among draft-ready quarterbacks, Kiper also ranked him No. 15 overall among 2022 NFL draft prospects.

“Pickett is making a leap not unlike Joe Burrow’s from two seasons ago,” Kiper said. “After his impressive performance against Clemson, I’m ready to put him on my Big Board. The fifth-year senior has been tremendous this season, completing 68.9 percent of his passes with 23 touchdowns and just one interception. He ranks third in the country in QBR (88.1). He has 18 career rushing touchdowns. Pickett was up and down the past two seasons, throwing 18 picks and averaging 6.9 yards per attempt. He’s up to 9.2 this season. He is accurate to all three levels of the field, has shown patience in taking the checkdown throws when necessary and has good zip on his throws. Offensive coordinator Mark Whipple has done a great job with Pickett’s development.”

Sam "Seeing Ghosts" Darnold

Honestly I'd take Mason Rudolph over him, dude is sad

[EzraTank]

Yes but could he get used to living in Pittsburgh and how would he adjust to playing at Heinz field.

[Steeler-in-west]

All this is assuming this is Ben’s last year. Ben could have a sort of resurgent second half of the season and decide to come back for one last year. I wouldn’t rule it out.

I would also take what the Steelers have over Darnold…

I just read a stat that said Ben has only completed 2 passes that traveled more than 15 yards -- ALL SEASON. That's 2 passes in 6 games! He might need a resurrection, not a resurgence.

didn’t realize that. This is who he is now. Still 10 percent chance maybe. Or as Tomlin would say, never say never….
