    Geoprge Pickens

    I feel bad for George Pickens. Might be the best WR in the NFL: at least top 5.....but few people will ever know it because Kenny Pickett is so bad throwing over 10 yards. Such a shame, what a waste of talent.

    With all due respect, let’s pump the brakes on GP…. Is he as skilled as any receiver in the NFL? Yes! But is he a top 5 WR??? Heck no, give it time before such a proclamation in my opinion.
    I see diva in him too.

      It was difficult to see whether they were bracketing Pickens...especially after Johnson went out, but he needed to have more targets.

        Well Claypool was a top 3.
        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.

          We shall see if Tomlin can control him. He did not do well with other divas. You don't play them when the game is out of hand either way if they start bitching. If they act up, Efff their stats when they do. He will get the message. Pickens can be a star!
          Tomlin hasn't won a playoff game in seven years and counting. The earliest will be eight years. I guess that in Art Rooney's II, opinion is worth a 3 year extension.

          Our 2024 draft looks to be grade A. Our 2023 draft is an A. The roster is talented, but Mike Tomlin is still the head coach.

          *** Mike Tomlin is the best coach since the AFL- NFL merger that has not won a playoff game in 8 seasons or more. It's either him or Lewis. ***

            I didn't like the fact that he was openly talking to himself on the sidelines with a crazed angry look on his face. Then he goes out and collects a 15-yard penalty because of his frustration. He's a young guy, but that shows a mental and emotional weakness.

            I didn't want my post about him needing more touches to be the only commentary I had about Pickens' performance today. Not exactly promising.

              Ward covered him easily 1v1

              Pickens cannot get separation, which was known coming out of College

                You can't be top 5 without the production of the QB getting you the ball. That's why this is going over your head.

                  It's gonna get much worse. As his career coffins in Pittsburgh because Pickett can't throw the ball accurately he will end up exploding & becoming a cancer.

                    it felt like he was about to burst the whole game.

                      True, but Brady didn?t t have many top
                      5?s, manning had Marvin Harrison and maybe Reggie Wayne, being a top 5 takes a lot from coaches, peers and most importantly oneself, there?s more than creating circus catches

                        Pickens feels the same way, and we can be sure he's going to let everyone know that many, many times this season (which may be his last as a Steeler).

                          Lmao. Fans, much like Canada and Tomlin are highly delusional.

                              You cannot “control” grown men. If you could Pickens would have gone in the 1st.

                              Character concerns are why he fell.

                              In view of the fact that Mike Tomlin has matched Cowhers record I give him the designation:

                              TCFCLTC-
                              The Coach Formerly Considered Less Than Cowher
