"Sorry Kenny, they don't make Isotoners in your size."
House of the Dragon season finale is tonight. Steelers have to wait.
Valar Morghulis.
I hope the Steelers lose out for draft picks but I'll still watch. Steelers rarely lose primetime games.
I really believe the only thing the Steelers can do is kick field goals. They can't run the ball, can't pass the ball, can't stop the run, can't stop the pass, can't block, can't tackle and can't punt the ball. That's all.
Thrown to Pickens resulting in a pick. Go figure. OK it was Claypool but it was still garbage.
4 dropped intās vs 3 actual intāsā¦story of the game. Pickett made some nice plays, but his last 2 picks (the 1st really shouldāve been PI) were just poor plays. Hopefully itās just the rookie in him because he canāt survive in this league with a 1:3 TD:Int ratio, especially twice when the game is on the line.
Steelers fans, your thoughts on Pickett? My father in law insists heās a rookie, but has the stuff to be a high level NFL QB.
He had a steep learning curve in college. Looks like heās taking the steep curve in the pros as well. Honestly, his OC isnāt doing him any favors. Iāve seen HS teams with more complex schemes than what theyāre running.
His mistakes are very much in line with being a rookieā¦if he can learn from them and cut down on the mental lapses, I think ultimately heāll be a decent starter. Maybe a Ryan Tannehill type guy.
I like him a lot. Mistakes for sure but the Dolphins entire line jumped offside on the interception.
Then the question is whether a Ryan Tannehill type is good enough for the Steelers? Youāre used to a Hall of Famer in Ben.
But I hear you. They can ultimately win with him if he reaches that level.
It feels like theyāll have a high pick next year. Iām sure the debate will rage over whether they draft a high ceiling QB.
No, they wonāt draft a QB. KP is their guy for at least his rookie contract. Theyāll build up the OL (I hope) and fix the D so they can play like the old Bettis daysā¦ground & pound. Is Tannehill-level enough? I think so.
I may be in the minority amongst Steelers fans, but Iām SO happy that BR is retired. I never liked that dudeā¦and not just because of his off-field antics. He was a big-time diva (IMO), and I thought he cost them a lot more big games than he ever won. Iām actually enjoying the rebuild a lot more than Iāve enjoyed the team in a long time.

Many year starter at Pitt who excelled in his final year against a relatively easy schedule for a P5 team, which left a lot of wonderment as to how good he was.
The Steelers, with many needs, made an interesting decision to use their 1st pick on said QB who will likely be the worst one in their division.
Did not think it was a good use of their pick, but now that theyāve done it, might as well play him. Think of Tomlin as the captain going down with the ship.
He's Duck Hodges (unfortunately not Duck Dodger) with a slightly stronger arm. And smaller hands.
My friend. I must respectfully disagree. Ben pulled more games out for Tomlin than he lost. The proof will be that this year will be Tomlin's first losing season.
Tomlin has taken a lot of blame over the years, and rightfully so. But Ben came up small in more big games than the other way around. He was a good (though IMO overrated) QB, but he was quick to throw a lot of people under the bus (in his own dramatical way), and the excusesā¦.holy
was he one for excuses. Again, happy heās goneā¦the team is so much more enjoyable without him.
Enjoy your 2-5 start and losing season my friend.Tomlin has taken a lot of blame over the years, and rightfully so. But Ben came up small in more big games than the other way around.

I hadn't thought of the division comparables. That's a telling point: best case, Pickett is QB #4 in that division over the next decade. The Steelers start each season behind in that regard.
