First of all I never liked the pick to begin with, felt it was a PR stunt. His senior year was absolutely awesome for our city and was proud of him, but I didn’t see him as a franchise QB in the NFL.
But anyway here’s my rant. The only reason Kenny Pickett isn’t the most hated man in the city is he went to Pitt. That’s it. He went to Pitt. Also side note tired of the “hometown kid” bs, he grew up in Jersey….
The amount of bullying of Matt Canada here is insane. Is he not a good coach? 100% correct he isn’t. But stop using him as a scapegoat because you’re in denial because your QB went to Pitt and you’re still holding on to that.
Check Down Kenny yesterday: 15/28 106 passing 0 TD
232 passing yards in his LAST 2 GAMES COMBINED 0 Passing TD’s the last 2 games 2 passing TD’s in his last 7 games
But Kenny went to Pitt so we love him ! Fire Canada !!! 🤡🤡🤡
Mason Rudolph should be starting. He should’ve been the week one starter in 2022. All Mitch does is throw in triple coverage, why is he not 3rd string? Mason was not a bad QB when Ben missed the whole season, until he got hurt you could tell he played scared the last few games, but I was fine with Mason in 2019.
But Tomlin won’t do that. Why? Because he’s the most stuck up & stubborn coach I’ve ever seen. The media said start Peezy & Jones early in the season. He said “they’re not ready” But veteran Levi Wallace was ready to get burnt every game? Doesn’t matter. Tomlin doesn’t want to win if it isn’t done how he wants it. Mike Tomlin cares more about 9-8 then winning playoff and SB games. 12 years, 3 playoff wins.
He rather go 9-8 and do it his way and his way only instead of listening to people and go 12-5 and win a playoff game. Because it wasn’t his way so he’s not interested. But you know what, as long as he gets to .500 everyone will think he’s a genius and the best coach so that’s all he is worried about. He’ll never get fired. “grand daddy & daddy didn’t fire coaches so I can’t fire Tomlin”
To the pit of misery 🍻🍻 DILLY DILLY
No one really cares that Kenny went to Pitt.
I’m a Pitt fan and I didn’t want them to draft a QB and hated when they did.
You’re way overestimating the amount of Steelers fans who are also Pitt fans. Most people don’t care.
I’ll let you in on a little secret, it doesn’t matter what the media says. Just because the media says one thing doesn’t mean it should happen. Imagine the Steelers using the media’s mock drafts instead of their own draft board on draft day.
It’s not uncommon to limit snaps to rookies or keep them off the field in the beginning
Love JPJ and watched him all through college. I believe he’ll be a great starting corner if not an elite one. But I didn’t have a problem with them keeping him at limited snaps.
Same with BJ, coming into the season it wouldn’t be too bad of an option to start him, but he was still a little raw. There was no reason to start him over Dan Moore, he was a veteran who wasn’t doing anything to lose the job.
He’s A problem, but not the ONLY problem. Canada SUCKS as well. So does the OL and Meyer (OL coach).
I am a Penn State fan. IDGAF about Pitt football.
That being said? I support the Steelers regardless of who is behind center.
I know for an extremely likely fact that Kenny Pickett will be our QB for the rest of this year and next season.
So…as long as he is the starter, I will be rooting for him to get better.
And that’s as far as it goes for me
