    I’m afraid we still need a QB….

    I like KP8 a lot, but he gets thrown around like a rag doll. This may or may not be his second concussion but with trend is longevity in the league becomes an issue. I remember in the preseason near the goal line he was launched by a DLineman.

    He may just be a bit frail for the NFL.
    Help me find my post proving I am a Yinzer!

    I will tip my hat to Tomlin if he has a winning record and the team makes the play-offs in the upcoming season.

      or he needs a better line to protect him.

        Rookie QB's generally struggle in the NFL. KP showed growth and did plenty well. KP has potential to become a solid NFL QB.

        The Steelers need to work on addressing the left side of the Oline in the offseason if possible.

          Well Dotson has sucked since preseason and has started every game. He hasn’t improved much. In fact the left side of the line is horrible in pass protection. KP8 won’t last long if the coaching staff refuses to address it.

            I am not in position to simply say Dotson sucked since preseason. I think Dotson made a mistake in pass protection on one play.

            I think the overall pass protection and run game improved. The left side of the Line isn't as consistent as the right side. The right side made mistakes vs the Ravens.

            I don't think it's simply up to the coaching staff to address it. The organization needs to address it within reason.

            Will a top LT be available to the Steelers in the draft? I don't know? Top LT are hard to find. Top FA left tackles are expensive. Will a late or early round tackle be better than DM? I don't know? Same can be said for LG.

            Tough decisions will need to be made by the organization. I think we agree that competition needs to be brought in.

              The difference in ball velocity between MT and KP was obvious.

                I will take decision making and accuracy over ball velocity every Sunday.

                How about you?

                  Game, set, and match.

                  Although I am concerned with KP8 moving forward with concussions.

                    The problem with this is that Green is the next best option.

                      Does he have average to above average accuracy?

                      I hope we can say yes by the middle of next season or so.

                        Especially how fast the ball got to those defenders.

                          I'll take all three. Because that's what it takes to be a Superbowl contending QB these days.

                            Have you even watched football for the last decade and a half?

                              Brady never had Rodgers or Manning type of velocity.

                              Picket has the accuracy, good enough velocity. The question for KP is decision making and the experience factor.

                              If KP comes out in his second season slinging the ball around people will get quiet real fast.

                              It takes time.
