Now that the dust has settled

Gotta love our knowledgeable fans.
Praising how good SF is after beating us like a dog, but not one person predicted a steeler loss.

Accuracy has little to do with how wide open a receiver is. A receiver could be 100% blanketed and the pass is still accurate. KP's passes were not accurate. According to SIS;

Pickett:
0-10 yds; 66% of passes were accurate (23rd)
11-20 yds; 56% of passes were accurate (take heart, it's the same accuracy Josh Allen had and better than a bunch of name QBs; Watson, Hurts, Herbert, Stafford, Carr)

Purdy:
0-10 yds; 57% accuracy
11-20 yds; 78% accuracy

Pickett struggled last season on the intermediate routes. That is the one area we need to see a big improvement happen if he is going to be the guy.

I'm trying to take heart. Lol

The most disheartening aspect of Kenny's performance last week was the regression of accuracy that seemed so much improved throughout training camp and preseason. I'm still expecting improvement this year. He was an accurate passer in college and that usually translates well to the NFL.

As far as the covered or not covered accuracy, I would imagine it's at least a little bit easier to throw an accurate pass to a wide open receiver without the pressure of trying to thread the needle past defenders.

I've said several times before that Purdy was the most accurate passer in his class by a good margin. And that goes for pressure passing as well. Why was he passed over? One can only wonder... maybe the scouts thought Breece Hall was the reason their offense worked?

Purdy's played 8 games in the league in the best offense ever designed, surrounded with All-Pro weapons, with the best D in the league at his back. He's basically an Alabama QB right now.

Let's pump the brakes on the HOF bust.

On Gameday? Imma predict 17 wins this year because I'm a fan and the optimism gives me a reason to watch the game...

Frankly, looking at the season as a whole, I've said 2-4 or 3-3 in division.... But, come gameday of each of those 6 games, I'm picking the Steelers.

Wanna know who I'm picking tonight or was that clear enough? lol

I would imagine that if you looked at the prediction thread from the summer when emotion is less involved, you'd find that there were some SF picks.

When we talk about regression in accuracy, doesn't that come down to not practicing the mechanics of the position enough? The little things have to be practiced over and over again. So they become second nature. If that's not happening then that is a whole other issue that has to be addressed.

NAH, i'm gonna give Purdy respect especially if he gets a ring or two. Because your argument is exactly what haters of Bradshaw & Ben did gave all the credit to the defense & run game & made them out to be just game managers,.

exactly... lol.

I've never predicted a 17-0 season but on game week I'm ALWAYS predicting a win.
