I had mentioned this in a reply to your post in the Growing Up thread,and yes it's pretty cool.

Funny thing is that Kenny was throwing to Sims, not Najee

Not really. Pickett and Najee talked about how they practice for this when plays break down. Najee shot to the end zone which happened to be close to where Sims was too. Funny thing is Sims occupied the defense perfectly for Najee.

But diminish the awesome play by pretending it was an accident if you must.

I didn't assume that either. I assumed they were saying KP is going to be a top 5 all time franchise QB at some point.

Come on Shawn NOBODY is implying THAT.
You, me, Dizz, North (coast or blizt), none of us "know" how good Kenny will be.

When I originally brought up Montana, I suggested that as a ceiling after everyone was throwing out low level starters as his ceiling.

People like you harped on his arm strength like he COULD NOT POSSIBLY be a franchise QB because he does not have a cannon. That is NOT accurate. The consensus GOATS of the position for the last 40 years BOTH do not have cannon arms.

Joe Montana is accurate and cool under pressure, with well known arm strength limitations. So I suggested there is no basis for limiting Kenny based on traits of "a top 5 QB". Brady also does not have the greatest arm, but Kenny moves and looks more like Montana.

I would suggest it is "unlikely" he will be THAT good.

But don't tell me Andy Dalton is Kennys ceiling, that he CANNOT be a franchise guy based on physical traits that are no different than Joe Montana.

When I see evidence that Kenny might have that same clutch gene, the comparisons are natural.

Something to remember....

Montana had Bill Walsh
Kenny has MATT CANADA

Bill Walsh was a Head Coach

But nice false equivalency...

I can only speak for myself, but the Montana comparisons from me were mostly style related, with the tongue-in-cheek somewhat trolly predictions that he'll have the same career.

The overarching point is that there is more than one type of franchise QB, they don't all have rocket arms.

Also a pet peeve that QB projections seem to be solely based on physical traits, and nobody seems to have a problem with outrageous comps like "Malik Willis is the next Josh Allen", when in reality I think it's more likely Kenny has a Brees-type career than that happening.

The position is still played mostly from the neck up, more than ever with the complexity of offenses (outside of ours, of course) and defenses.

That is a good explanation and I appreciate the clarification. What I will say at this stage in KPs career is that I am indeed impressed with his poise under pressure. That's HUGE. No one can take that away from him. My question is (and was when we drafted him)...can we win a SB with him? As stands, I see a guy who has a franchise caliber mindset and poise under pressure. At this point in his career, I do not see a guy who can compete with the likes of Mahomes, Allen or any other elite passing team. Sooo, in order for the Steelers to sniff a SB, a few things need to happen. Either KP continues to grow and becomes more productive in the passing game (for 4 quarters), or the D and running game are top 5. Right now, the D and running game will need to keep games close. If that can happen, I do believe the Steelers can win a SB with him. And I agree that you don't need a Favre arm to win a SB. You don't need a Mahomes type QB to win a SB (but it really helps). You do need a clutch QB with a very strong running game and D supporting him.

Get him another weapon AND an offense that schemes free yards and YAC. Every pass in this offense is contested or is a button hook or boundary route.

Boy you are stupid. The question is whose offense was being run?

The head coach INVENTED the offense the niners ran.

It was WALSH'S offense.

Arians, Haley, Canada? The offense is DIFFERENT because we have a defensive head coach.
