    If it is so relevant, why did the NFL stop using it?

    You guys are right that Purdy is average, but what does that make KP8?

    I've watched both play several times now and Brock is just plain better at this stage. They both lack pocket awareness at times, but Purdy makes better decisions and has better ball placement.

    I wish the Steeler quarterback sucked like him.

    Purdy doesn't have the zip on his passes back yet from the surgery. A lot of his passes floated on him. BUT he was accurate, he made good decisions & he scrambled well to make passes & runs.

    Another week. Time to update the rankings.


    1. Purdy is very good. Zero turnovers. 17-25 206. He is a top ten QB, winning ever regular season game he has started.

    2. Howell. He's 3-0 as a starter coming off a game where he had to pass a lot. He was 29-39, 299 yards. Two TD's, zero interceptions. A tough minded guy. He had the best performance in the class last week.
    Appears to be trending as a better the average staring QB.

    3. Ridder. He has a great back to play with in Robinson, and went 19-32 237 yards 1 td and 1 in. I think he's not better than average by starting QB standards. IE ... a QB you replace.

    4. Pickett. 15-30 222 yards 1 td, 1 int. He has an A+ receiver in Pickens that makes his stats look acceptable ( 71 yard td ) but his play was not good. He was off again on several throws and should have been interpreted twice. We won but the defense scored twice, which is the main reason why we won. He's not a franchise QB. He's not a top 15 QB either
    The Steelers had a great draft in 2023. However better play calling / coaching is badly needed. Tomlin is hasn't won a playoff game in six years and counting. Nor has hired anyone good to his coaching staff. Think about that. Mike Tomlin says, " hell yeah we've got to make some changes. " We are waiting. But Khan and Weidl appear to have better management on the salary cap and focused on the right free agents and draft needs.

    We could have had all three qb's. For a 4th or 7th round pick we get Howell or Purdy. Ridder I think went in round three. He doesn't look like the answer. And Pickett is 4th on the list of the 2nd year QB's who start.


    I think this rookie QB class is very over rated! But next years projected QB class is loaded. IMO, we should pick one of them.

    24/33 for 237 yds with 2 TDs and zero turnovers in addition to rushing for 54 yds?

    Where would this week one QB rate then?

    17/22 for 169 yds with zero TD's and 1 interception. rushing for 38 yds?


    see ya! I'm on to the next thread.
    From the 2011-2022 season,(A 12 year period that the majority of Cowher's players & coaches had left) Mike Tomlin has only won 3 playoff games. And two of those wins were against back up Quarterbacks. Currently, Tomlin hasn't won a playoff game in 6 years.
