I think Ben saw what we all saw. KP was ok early on, good scrambler but making some rookie mistakes, some of his passes were off and didn’t have much heat on them and the few deep passes were off too
he’s upped his game, putting more on his passes with more accuracy, maybe quicker than people thought he would. Those two game winning drives were Mahomes level
hes smart and he’s catching on quick, just doesn’t happen with rookies very often
Fantastic throw.

What are his thoughts on Mason?
I’d like to hear those thoughts…What are his thoughts on Mason?
Enthroned Into The Good Old Boys Club - 2024
He is better to keep it for him!
Imagine how much further ahead Pickett would've been if he started the year instead of after Week 4, but we'll take this.
It is from PFF, so take it as you will...
Kenny's 92.4 grade was the highest for a Steelers QB since 2015 (Ben's 6 TD game against the Colts).
I have no idea how this matters in the overall evaluation of KP the QB but I’ve grown to really be impressed by KP the leader and public presence. Every single time I see or read his commentary, they’re just excellent. The way he handles himself is just extremely mature and balanced. Not something many young players pull off. Ben certainly didn’t. Zach Wilson may have torpedoed his entire career in part due to his failures on that front.
If KP started and had all those 1st team reps to begin with, you would think we’re at least 9-7 right now and in control of our own destiny. If I had to guess I would say it was Canada pushing to start Mitch. As a mobile vet he probably felt he was the best chance for his offense to succeed. And that blew up in his face.

As far as I'm concerned, he will forever be referred to as Kenny F. Pickett.
Kenny’s stat line hasn’t been very good and if you just look at him on paper, it’s kinda meh. For me, it’s been his presence on the field, he looks like he belongs there. How he handles himself off the field as a leader. But most of all, it’s the big moment plays. He’s handling those and he’s had a few already. He’s had a few of those wow plays. That you don’t teach. That’s instinct and talent. You take those “Wow moments” into next season with experience and coaching…he should be vastly improved on the stat sheet where maybe it’s “hmmmmm” instead of meh…
He is definitely growing on me!! That TD pass was sooooo good. Harris was expecting it. He didn’t turn around until it was almost on his shoulder.
I don’t mind it. Give a competition and while I think he won, no need to hand him the keys to the car on a silver platter. Builds adversity and teaches the lesson that nothings guaranteed, nothings going to be handed to him because he’s the new shiny toy. I think the lesson might be more important than winning or losing one extra game…
Of course, it could have been better but it could also have been worse if Tomlin would have been stubborn like crazy and he would have kept Pickett on the bench all season long no matter what as many were afraid before the season....So for me, I'm just happy he played a lot this year and that he had ups and downs and he will know next year what he needs to improve
Revisionist history is fine for us “board posters” but I’m so glad that KP didn’t start right away. With our O-line at the beginning of the season…..no way that I would put a rookie QB in the first game. I’m certainly disappointed in Trubisky’s early games, but I was glad it was him and not Pickett. He might have had a couple of more concussions. Let’s hope he stays very healthy for the next…….years.
This week I just want to see Kenny get 2 TD passes…if that’s even a possibility under Canada, I have no idea…
You know….you are going to have to warm up to Canada, because he is going to be here next year!!
A couple of thoughts (inspired by a few posts):
-as Sean Payton stated: “Kenny is a leader of that team.”
-likewise, TJ has confidence in his QB… TJ “knew” that Kenny would pull out the last two victories.
-lack of red-zone TDs needs to improve. That said, the gameplan of run it ad nauseum against the Ravens worked very well. If not for a fake penalty on Heyward (4 point swing) and a missed FG, it’s an 10 point victory.

(Mentioned in another thread but thought I'd expand here)
What's left for Pickett to do for me to put full trust in him and start thinking of him as a franchise QB?
- Step up and take over games rather than just last minute drives.
- Fix the propensity (at times) to throw high when throwing medium-distance throws. (I know, there are some who say all QBs are inaccurate at times. True, but this is a consistent mistake in that when he makes a mistake on these throws, it is this one virtually every time.
- Continue to improve next year and beat the "sophomore slump."
- Show more if the "it" factor throughout the game instead of just at the end of games.
Now, as for assessing those things,
- For some reason, I just have a feeling we're going to see him take over the game against the Browns sometime early in the third quarter.
- He's cut down on this some, which is good. But I don't expect to see much improvement until next year (most likely, this is a mechanics issue that he can deal with in the offseason).
- Only time will tell. I truly can't label anyone a franchise QB until sometime in the third season.
- If number 1 happens, then this will go right along with it. But, I'd like to have seen it more, and earlier in games. My cardiologist would like to see that as well for my sake.
The best thing about the pass to Friermuth was the location. Pickett could not lead Fry away from his defender or he would run into the route run by Heyward and he could not throw it too far behind or Hamilton would be able to make a play on the ball.
Rolling left, throwing back right and getting it in a tight spot for the conversion. Some good athletic skill there.
I’ve been thinking the same for a long time and it scares me.You know….you are going to have to warm up to Canada, because he is going to be here next year!!

Boz: I'm outta here

For #1, he is a rookie, he doesn’t have the experience to be 4th quarter Ben from last season. That isn’t going to happen for 2-3 years most likely. My biggest fear is Crapnada is back next season.

You’re the only one I see who thinks #2 is a problem. I don’t.
Nope. I feel that way too. He reminds of Eli. Agee throws seem to sail on him each game.
Just like they do on Josh Allen and Joe Burrow. I mean the proof is right there on the TV screen. Funny how no QB can make a perfect throw every single time.
