23 Draft

[blacknblue80s]

My take on KP is that he hasn't improved as much in his 20 games as I was expecting. He seems to have a hard time processing fast enough and his accuracy has been inconsistent. IMO, he still has 9 more games to show improvement and if he doesn't, they will have a huge decision to make before the 2024 draft that appears to be loaded with talent.

I do expect him to improve as the offense and Broderick Jones is able to run the ball and use more play-action. I'm also expecting him to work on his mechanics to get his accuracy back under control.

I don?t want to date myself, but the debate about HOF qb?s and Bradshaw is making me laugh. I mean, the Steelers knew on draft day he was gonna be a HOF QB. so did the fans. It?s why he had instant success and was beloved and admired his first 3-4 years here in the ?burgh - then becoming a legend after SB IX. So of course we (and the team) know KP can?t do it. He?s had 20 games now to show us and it?s clear. Time to move on.

AB, Bell and Sanders didn?t like Ben. Plexico left because he hated the offense. Holmes left as well for money. Wallace too.

A WR not liking his QB (mostly because of lack of targets) is nothing new. The only time a WR likes a QB is right after they catch a TD. 2 plays later, they hate them again because they they the ball somewhere else.

Pickens and Pickett were hugging and happy before the TD was overturned. All a sudden Pickens hates his life after DJ catches the game winner.

and you do realize Kenny has thrown game winners in the last 2 minutes vs the Ravens the last 2 times he played a full game. He also threw a game winner vs Cleveland in the 4th quarter last year.

That is the funny thing about people?s frustration with Kenny. They keep
predicting he will lose a bunch of games and get more stubborn after every win.

What do most of these divas have in common? Hmmm....they played under Mike Tomlin ? The evidence is there but some people can't admit it. Pickett is a game manager that does not throw many passes beyond the 10 year line or pass for many yards a game. The offense under him stinks, but we have a good team around him and can beat the bad QB's by scoring 20 or less points and have special teams and the defense helping us out big time.

Yes, when you coach for 16 years you tend to have some players who are disgruntled or want more money or more opportunities. Tomlin isn't the GM. Any player who left for money is not the fault of Tomlin.

This idea that other head coaches do a better job of managing players is hilarious. There are teams with players who murdered folks, killed folks while driving drunk, killed their SO and then committed suicide at the teams practice facility.

and folks blame Tomlin because a few WR's had contract disputes or danced on a team logo?

But that all happened behind the scenes. This was not a debate held on Steelers message boards.

...plus Cowher was a local boy so beyond being criticized
