There's a reason the Khan Artist kept all three....Light it up Mitch, seize the moment....
 
If Mitch lights it up I would be a bit shocked. But that is a much better scenario than if Mitch sucks and Mason comes in and does well. At least Mitch is signed for the foreseeable future and we could try to develop Kenny.
 
It's December, shouldn't they have to let Rudolph play some reindeer games? I mean, tis the season!

I guess that it IS the time of year for not only Christmas but unleashing hell and this certainly looks like what happens when we release hell.

All depends on the O-Line...
They were hot crap last week!

Even 77 was not up to standard..

The pass blocked is definitely behind the run blocking. They will need to step that up. I will be pleasantly surprised if the Steelers can run on them. I'm sure they'll play the same kind of defense most teams have used against Pittsburgh for the last 4 years .
 
Mitch is going to show why he is hall a fame material tonight.
 
The way I see it is, we will find out tonight IF our scheme is as predictable as we know it is. Our run game had started to get better...just as we started to play crappier teams.

This Cheats team may have no offense, but their defense against the run is no joke. Now that Ernie has been gone for 2+ years, we are starting to see that Bellicheat is just a defensive coordinator working as a HC. He will have his defense ready so we might have to make our hay tonight on defense.

Likewise, our defense is coached by a poorly organized position coach and HCMT. We will find out how truly bad our defense is tonight too, going against the only offense in the league worse than ours. If we can only be slightly better than average, they shouldn't score at all.

They have scored just 13 points in the last 3 games combined. They have been shut-out twice and held to 7 or less points five times this year. A much larger indictment against our HC will be our defenses ability to keep them under their season average of >13 points. If not, injuries or not, we cannot compete with this scheme, IMO.

Rudy is an option. No?

I think we know the answers to these questions already. We have had seasons of this **** show as YOUR answer.
 
I'm getting bad flashbacks to Kordell Stewart, Kent Graham and Pete Gonzalez. This current group of QBs could be even worse, but it's not like their coaches are helping them out or anything.
 
The only reason Mitch is here is as Tomlin said, "It was to prevent us from doing something stupid in the draft." In terms of doing something stupid, it would have been reaching for Malik Willis. Let's face it. Malik is who everyone thought was coming to the Steelers as Pickett was projected to be off the board early. Malik was going to be a project and would have never seen the field his rookie year had he been here. But after Pickett fell to us and was selected, the writing was on the wall for Mason. We weren't looking for Pickett to sit on the bench watching Mitch and Mason leapfrog each other. He was considered by many to be the only "NFL ready" QB.
 
Ben sucked, Mitch has sucked twice, and KP has sucked under Canaduh or his system. Nothing will have a chance of changing until the entire O staff is gone and new brought in from outside. Tomlin ain't going anywhere so that is our best shot. Give KP a year in the new system and if he's not the guy, hope for a good draft pick to get someone else. As those of us who lived through the Bradshaw to Ben era know, this will not be a quick fix to get a new franchise QB.

Pickett was not projected to be off the board earlier. It was a pick your flavor draft. Some people had Willis, Howell, Pickett, Corall, or Ridder as the top QB. There was no consensus number one QB in that draft.
 
We don't have a legit starting level QB on the entire roster. That's on the GM and owners. The incompetent coaching is another discussion on another day. All three QBs suck. If they don't address it this off season, we will be fighting to stay out of last in the division next year and the foreseeable future, bank on it.
 
Tomlin will manure the garden after he washes the pigeon sh!t off of his face that Belichick smeared.
