I'll say it again... Kenny "One Read" is definitively a real part of the problems in offense.
Before we drafted him - I said that he took too long to show his skills in college, at Pitt.
What's absolutely frustrating is Jalen Hurts was on the clock and we passed on him and picked Chase Claypool with the 49th pick of the 2020 draft...
I don't know how much more successful Jalen Hurts would be in Pittsburgh. I don't know how much more successful anyone would be in Pittsburgh. You pick Hurts in 2020, and perhaps he has his future ruined by Matt Canada and Mike Tomlin. It's a very real possibility because you know they would never call plays to his strengths.I'll say it again... Kenny "One Read" is definitively a real part of the problems in offense.

I think Kenny is done in Pittsburgh. He has not grown in Pittsburgh, and it is my belief that as long as Coach Tomlin is here, no amount of offensive coordinators is going to fix the troubles he is having. Besides, I am about 98.761207% sure that Faulkner is going to be the next OC and that isn't going to help a damn thing. Stick a fork in Pickett. Time to draft the next QB to ruin.

Yeah Im going with we would ruin anyone anyhow…
All young qbs are mostly one read and dump 99% of the time. The difference is that we aren’t running the easy over the middle stuff because we are scared as always. Brock purdys first read is virtually always open… our first read might not even be running the right route and if one of our wrs isn’t going to be a top two read, they sometimes don’t care about really running the route.
Wasting more QB careers here is just stupid… just draft another RB and don’t even throw the damn ball… that what they really want anyway… no interceptions if there arent any passes
Put friermuth and Washington in at Wr and change DJs role to end zone dancer so he can celebrate the two tds we score in a year..
This team needs an Enema
We wasted half of a HOF quarterbacks career here. People thinking (insert any qb you want here) drafting a qb is going to fix the team and take it to a championship. It isn't.
I'm sorry but the HC,DC and OC have to go. If people can't see that then they're delusional and really haven't been paying attention.
Jalen Hurts has had a top 3 OL in front of him his entire career so far. That has been a big piece of his success, he's a good QB but he still has a lot of games where I'm not completely sold. On the bright side, at least we didn't draft Malik Willis.I'll say it again... Kenny "One Read" is definitively a real part of the problems in offense.

The only answer Omar and Andy can feel good about would be to hire an OC without Tomlin's input, pull Tomlin into their office, and tell him to leave the guy alone (don't even talk to him) or he is fired!Holding out hope that Omar and Andy can sort things out as to finding answers to their needs.
Reality tells me they are turning into Cleveland and will continue drafting QB's every year thinking that's the problem.
We were all patting ourselves on the back thinking Chase could be rookie of the year.....critics were saying.....those Steelers,how do they keep finding these great receivers in the draft? I would say most of Steelers fans thought they had an all pro guy for the next 5+ years.I'll say it again... Kenny "One Read" is definitively a real part of the problems in offense.

And Brock Purdy was on the clock for six more rounds after Pickett in 2022.I'll say it again... Kenny "One Read" is definitively a real part of the problems in offense.

Happy Feet spinning left into defenders kinda' isI didn't really see anything terrible here.
Kenny pickett is going to be back for two more seasons, and be the starter at least next year.
Virtually all these criticisms are fair, but uncannily mirror the early kirk cousins critiques.
Cousins took four or five seasons to develop and ultimately left immediately after developing.
I am fine with them taking another QB the year after next.. but unless tgere is a HC change, tge new qb will be trained to be extra careful with throws, particularly end zone ones… he will maybe be marginally better.. maybe not…
I really wish we would trade the next three first round picks for brock purdy so he could come here and suck out loud so people can really understand that in football, coaching and scheme trumps almost everything… because our issues there are great… and there are many
And yet no one took him until SF...with their last pick. Flip-flop them from team to team.....who is doing better? Purdy in Pittsburgh? Or Pickett in SF?And Brock Purdy was on the clock for six more rounds after Pickett in 2022.
WTF are you talking about?We were all patting ourselves on the back thinking Chase could be rookie of the year.....critics were saying.....those Steelers,how do they keep finding these great receivers in the draft?

Meanwhile Jalen was getting crucified in Eagle land his first couple seasons. Can you imagine?
Man oh Man......if we could do it all over again![]()
