I vehemently disagree. Now saying he is told to protect the football and be efficient I agree with. But when there is a play downfield or in the middle he has been VERY inconsistent. Now I don't like this vanilla play not to lose offense. I hate it. But watching Pickett's inconsistencies I think the problem is two fold. 1. We have a basic offense and are scared to push the ball down the field. 2. We have a QB who is very up and down in accuracy and is late reading the defense and knowing where to go with the ball. If they set Kenny loose in the Chiefs or Phins offense he would throw multiple picks a game. Probably more touchdowns but his TD to INT ratio would be worse. If you look at the post below you will see Kenny miss a wide open Pickens on a crossing route and a wide open CA3 on a go in the middle. Then you will see him throw a dart on a go to DJ with a wide open Pickens again in the middle. Now I loved the aggressiveness of him throwing the deeper ball but part of me wonders if he struggles with the middle of the field. You will also see an earlier play where a receiver was open on a deep/intermediate middle but KP throws a little late for A-Rob on a shallow cross.
Now we are 6-3 so I see no way we set Kenny loose this year. Not unless we are way behind which is not a good barometer of ability. But next year after Canada is gone I hope they just let it all go and either sink or swim. If we sink we get a top 5 pick in 2025. If we swim we then know for certain that Kenny is going to be the guy. But right now watching him I personally just don't see it.
