Pickett's #1 job was to play conservative and not turn the ball over. Shades' idea of a good game is not turn the ball over and let defense win the game. Problem is that 1) his defense isn't that good and 2) his offense doesn't put up enough points in the modern version of the NFL (see #1).
I think the defense has been good enough the past two seasons. Top-10 finish in points allowed both years including 10 games allowing 20 or fewer points last season.
He was asked to play careful with the ball and not turn it over. If you didn't see that I don't think it's worth continuing this discussion. It will all play out in the long run.
$$$$$$$ post. Why when we got into the REDZONE you rarely saw Pickett throw into the EZ. Low-risk passes. I wonder how many targets our huge TE Washington got down inside the 10? I personally can't remember even one. Hope I am wrong on that....for the coach's sake.
Bottom 3 in nearly every offensive category.
Problem was the offense was usually averaging less than 16.
I'll take 4:1 odds on KP making the Eagles' opening day roster all day long. How much do you want to lose?
Tomlin signed his last extension on April 20th, 2021. The other 3 were done in July and early August. So your point is valid.
"Tanner McKee got second-team reps over Kenny Pickett on Sunday according to EJ Smith"
Wait!!! You mean Kenny isn't going to start over Jalen Hurts??? He can't beat the current #2, Tanner McKee??? Excellent move, Mr. 13 TDs and 13 INTs, excellent move...
We go from Kenny outplaying Hurts to this. I wouldn't put much into either report. I have been checking eagles camp reports and most say Pickett has been decent with a bigger arm than expected.
I saw a couple of Eagles guys doing a podcast saying McKee had a real chance to win the QB2 job and this was before it was reported McKee got second-team snaps. If Pickett had any level of compete, he would've had all the QB1 reps throughout training camp so far and a chance to win the job by producing and earning it. With that said, he's gone now and the Steelers got a young QB with huge upside if he can ever put it together. I still have my doubts, but it's been encouraging to hear it's been night and day since minicamp for FIelds.
Eagle guys. A podcast......Wow....it must be true.....or was it them simply speculating?
Maybe he can beat out Bobby McGee?
that's what she said!
Kenny should NEVER wear the number 7. Such a disgrace to that great number. How about "13"??? That's fits better...Apparently. He wore #8 here to signify his hand size. Apparently his 8in. hands lost an inch.
Yep. Kenny will never be a John Elway.
