How are the Mitch stans feeling today?

[Chucktownsteeler]

What we intended to do was obvious. But that had nothing to do with how they played.

Unlike Dizz I did not come in confident in Kenny. HIS PLAY was darn near flawless. His demeanor was not one of a rookie, it was that of a vet. The bigger the moment, the better his play.

Even when making plays I never got that from Mitch. I came out of the preseason feeling like Mitch was OUR THIRD best QB.

Here is the reality people.

ONE HUNDRED PERCENT OF WHY MITCH GOT THE JOB OR IS EVEN A STEELER IS DRAFT PEDIGREE. He just HAS to be better than he showed as a Bear.

If he was a third rounder, nobody would look to start him.

He was gifted the starting role the moment we inked him. If it were a fair QB competition each one of the (3) QBs would have gotten to start a preseason game.

Only Mitch did. Even then the other (2) QBs simply outplayed him.

That is a terrible plan, especially with Watt and Minkah and the highest paid defense.

I think our FO lacks stones right now..

and the countdown for Tomlin has finally started for me.

Too many weapons on offense to act like Hue Jackson with the QB position. Play the kid and let him sink or swim.

Its almost like they believe if he plays early and has some bumps he doesn’t have the mental fortitude to get better. Look at his time at Pitt. The kid put in the work to get better every year.

Personally, it just feels like they really convinced themselves Mitch could carry us for a season and handcuffed Pickett this preseason because CLEARLY the O looks
better with him.

Even when drives stalled with Pickett in preseason you saw passes that let you believe that he would get them next time if given the chance. With Mitch its just grueling.

I fear its time and Tomlin is too old school for todays game. You can’t win by trying not to lose.

Considering this was posted to disagree with me I actually agree with most of it.

Yikes... (at least he is beating out Mayfield...)

There is ONE scenario that can possibly justify continuing with Mitch. If this is a long game, and the goal is NOT immediate success. We won't win a SB with either and we WILL have a better pick if we stay with Mitch. If Kenny is THE GUY we are an oline away from talent to really contend. Can be fixed in an offseason.

I don't actually think that is what's happening, but it is a potential upside Intentional or not.

With only one practice before the Thursday game, I don't think we make the change this week.

Hopefully the week after with the "mini-bye".

But the Steelers are patient. Sometimes to a fault.

Maybe not Mason because I think we have a reasonable idea of who he is.

But I do think we should have played KP against a starting D in the preseason. Or at least given him more burn when he was playing well.

Just brutal. 6th season and has absolutely no feel for the game.

not to disagree with you.. lol

just posted to say any plan that doesn’t involve playing Pickett by game 4 is a terrible plan unless Mitch turns into 2004 Ben on Thursday.

serious question....

Am I the only one who sees a 2-minute drive and thinks, "they need to bring in KP for this because his preseason execution of them was flawless"

It's what happens when the OL is inconsistent in blocking. He probably has a mental clock telling him someone is coming in 2.5 seconds... or he is seeing ghosts. But someone needs to tell him that rolling out is to buy time to go to the next read, not throw to the first read (who was blanketed).

@home vs Jets, week 4.
@home vs saints week 9

Those are the 2 most likely places for him to start, IMO

Agreed. Too bad the press can't sit in practices. It would be interesting to see if KP's reps increase in the next few weeks.

Not sure I can watch 8 weeks of Mitch. At least I should get a partial refund from the Ticket. They are doing me a favor.

You aren't alone

I don’t buy this. If you watch other NFL games you see QB’s rushed on throws, sacked.. and protected on others.

Mitch isn’t under constant pressure. He isn’t having 8 sack games where he has no time to throw.

He doesn’t have IT.
