I just hope he doesn’t mismanage the QB situation with this football team.
Imo putting all things into perspective I think Kenny’s overall performance was encouraging.
The fact that the 10 day period between the Browns loss and Jets loss it was Mitch who took the first team reps and prepared for the stinking Jets not Kenny. And brought in cold the entire team and stadium felt the electricity this guy generates. Hell, my Steeler bar in Houston woke up too. Seriously, you could see the energy with the offense. Kenny took command, you could see it in his body language and the way he Carrie’s himself. He wasn’t afraid to take chances unlike Trubisky who is afraid of making mistakes but Kenny let it air out and that’s what we needed.
I’m not down on him for the interceptions since the first one at the very least could have been knocked away from the Jets defender if Claypool wasn’t such a *****. The second one to Muth Kenny shouldn’t have thrown but he wasn’t afraid to make things happen and you have to expect mistakes but he’ll learn fast. The last one was a go for broke Hail Mary where almost all of those get picked.
The guys pocket awareness, quickness to process, does not hesitate, accuracy, and leadership are so much better than the timid Trubisky.
I say let Kenny play and develop a rapport with these receivers, I’m not expecting a Ben like run in his rookie year, so if we end up 6-11 and secure maybe a top 10 pick but Kenny gets the valuable experience he needs, that’s a good thing.
Next draft we can draft a top LT and maybe a center in round two that will help solidify this OL.
And for the love of God get Claypool on the bench and give Simms a shot at the slot. Claypool sucks and has been a major disappointment so give Simms a shot to develop with Kenny. That first interception Claypool looked bad where he couldn’t beat a 5’8” safety and should be embarrassed by it.
One last point, everyone needs to relax and expect mistakes from Kenny and not make comparisons to Ben’s rookie year. Keep in mind Ben had a much better team and better coaches that what Kenny had here now. Let him play and make his mistakes but he will learn from them and he will make plenty of great plays as well. Take the Bengals script with how they did it with Burrow letting him start his rookie year. Burrow made plenty of mistakes that first year but it aid off big time his second year.
So Tomlin, don’t **** this up by going back to Trubisky. We already know who he is just like Mason, but with Kenny we need to be able to see what we have and I think it’s the franchise QB we thought so don’t screw this up.

Can't you see it in my eyes?

Things they change my friend,

whoa oh

I’m hoping shades is smart enough to let this play out with Kenny and let him get the experience. I’m not expecting playoffs or even a non losing season but if Kenny can learn and get better every game that’s a win for me. There is good also with a losing record this year and that’s the 2023 draft where we can hopefully get a franchise LT and maybe a very good center. Couple that with all the toys we have and Kenny with a season of experience and we can be a very good team next year.
 
Great idea Steelhurt, plan for an actual future

We gain nothing with continuing the failed Mitch Trubisky experiment, and if Kenny takes all the snaps from here it kills Mitch's percentage of snaps taken incentive saving a bit of cap room taboot...it just makes too much cents
 
Well clearly Pickett brings more to the table than a under-Performing vet. Play the kid, script the offense better, use the rollout and screen pass as Kenny can pull those plays off. Put both Najee and Warren in the backfield together. ..........

Coolie was wrong about you being a dummy.

Well let's not get carried away now. Let's keep it realistic.😅
 
If this plays out like South Park, it isn't going to end well.
 
Bill Cowher agrees - stick with Kenny.

ExactlyFiji! I’ll go one better in my train of thought here. I’d try and shop Trubisky maybe to the Giants who maybe interested. Hell, maybe we can get a third or even a fourth round pick. Then the obvious move is to move Mason up as Kenny’s backup who is very familiar with our ****** offensive scheme and is not any worse than Trubisky.
Sign someone to the PS maybe Josh Dobbs if he’s out there or someone comparable.
Kenny’s the present and the future so patience grasshoppers, give him a season to grow into this.

And please start throwing the ball to Najee which I was surprised we didn’t do the that with Kenny yesterday. Najee caught like 74 passes last year and did most of his damage that way. Come on Canada, wake the **** up.

Ben on his podcast posed the question of: do you want a vet that will take care of the ball, or do you want a rookie in this stretch of the schedule? He thinks you have to leave Kenny as the starter, but it's going to be "interesting." I think there is no question you go with Kenny. And the reason why is he gets to learn plus you have a shot of winning, sure he could be an interception machine too. With Trubisky against those teams you KNOW you have a shot at nothing, it's guaranteed.....

Someone's upset."Looking for a spark.......yeah..."
 
Last week while cru
Coolie was wrong about you being a dummy.

Last week while hitch-hiking through BIZZARo WORLD I ran into him (Coolie), he was ****-ing lost and somewhat starving. I fed him but left his diaper unchanged...... Funny thing is he said I was a dummy because instead of food he was hoping I'd give him the inside scoop on football in general and maybe brush him up on UH players and season outcome............ go figure

PS I came across Coach and he was driving a luxury car and asked both Coolie and I if we needed a ride, I said no but Coolie got in, I think it was to unload his diaper....
