    Lol, Bengals or Raiders will sign him first. On a serious note, I haven’t seen anything on his case since he was cut.

    Indeed... there has been surprisingly no "follow up" from the courts/lawyers.

    How is that surprising? The media issues stories and never follows up. There is a news cycle where a story is hot for 1-3 days and then ignored. Bigger stories last slightly longer maybe weeks or
    months.

    Also, Araiza was never convicted in criminal court. Cases this serious don't belong in civil court in the first place. I feel bad for the Araiza family. There is a long list of false accusations against athletes- like the ones against Ben come to mind...

    as long as we throw 3 ints a game ( in 2 of the 3 games played with your starting qb) it sure as hell isnt gonna matter who the punter is or how good or bad he is ... bigger problems need to be solved ....
    Kenny Pickett is who I though he was .. Eagles didn't value him either , now he is a Stain at the Mistake by the Lake 3 teams in 4 years more of a shooting star than a superstar

    The first one was because Claypool slipped, the other two were in a situation we had to score a TD or it was nothing

    true but bad timing, you allow an opening drive TD and then offense goes 3 and out. The worst possible thing you can do is shank the punt after that lol

    We all want results....This is possible that Pickett is not the answer but we all knew expect for you that Trubisky was not the answer before this year.....At this point, it is a period of evaluation for the steelers....I am not too concerned for the interceptions since I saw QBs who became great had a major problem with interceptions in their rookie year.It take more production too

    Canada needs to be replaced before jumping to the conclusion

    what a bunch of horseshit and revisionist history ....

    I seem to recall many wanting Mitch before we even signed him , then many happy we did and that changed once we drafted a QB and continued to change once the season started and Mitch stated slow ...

    Guess what the one thing Mitch hasnt done is throw 3 picks in a game TWICE since getting here in part time play ..... Kenny has played 13 quarters and thrown 7 picks that you seem to only want to credit him with one ( rolls eyes ) he is on pace for 29 picks in a partial season but wait I am sure only 1 will be his fault ...

    Give me a break these turnovers are a major issue weather YOU seem to think so or not


    Mitch may not have carried this team to victory in a few winnable games but he also wasnt the reason that they lost any of them either, we cant say the same thing about Kenny ... Last nights game is what kids dream of their entire life down 6 final 2 mins you have the ball and drive down the field for the winning TD the only problem is KP throws a weak ball into the defenders hands to ice the game and LOSS ....wait I forgot it wasnt his fault , ( like he isnt the one throwing the damned ball )
    Kenny Pickett is who I though he was .. Eagles didn't value him either , now he is a Stain at the Mistake by the Lake 3 teams in 4 years more of a shooting star than a superstar

    Peyton Manning had 28 interception in his rookie season....28 and he had 11 interceptions in the first 4 starts...No I don't compare him with Manning but you know my point that the interceptions is not the end of the world for a rookie if he improve from that after that...I know this is big if but right now I can live with that for a rookie

    And several of his interceptions were in a situation where he had to force things, like in a 3rd down and 16 yesterday or at the end of the game or a hail mary against the jets...I would have been much more frustrated if that had was a checkdown in this situation, considering the little time left in the game

    Context matter

    Just a example why the interceptions are not a huge concern for a rookie

    Re: New Punter

    Hail Mary Ints count on stat sheets only.

    When a QB hits a receiver in the hands and the ball bounces off for an Int, that’s on the receiver.

    I’m not going to argue these points that everyone knows as fact. Everyone.

    Still…turnovers cannot happen.
