Steelers to move ahead with Kenny as the starter.

Also, there is no world where Mason Rudolph should not be asking for a trade now…

He should have been asking for a trade the minute they signed Trubisky. Maybe he did. Doesn't mean they'll trade him. Can't wait until that guy is no longer a Steeler. Would love to hear what he thinks of this mess.

Curious to why you feel that way.

I swear. Some of you guys are ******* delusional. Maybe Mike could put you on speed dial,and discuss all the teams strategy with you. Maybe pregame he could tell all his game plan to the world. Of course there are little white lies told by any head coach to any media outlet. Did anyone really seriously ever even think that Mitch would not start the season? I actually give Tomlin credit for putting him in way earlier than I thought he would. I anticipated the bye-week no matter what. Speaking of people so obviously full of ****? You’re starting to rank right up there.

The guy obviously had NO game plan involving Pickett, because he CHOSE to not give him any reps during the extended period between games after the Thursday night loss. I never said **** about Tomlin having Mitch start the season (in fact, I agreed with that decision), but after three poor games from #10, and ignoring the opportunity of extra prep time to get Kenny ready, he instead decides to stick with Trubisky...until halftime?

You think that Tomlin assuring the media about his confidence in Mitch, yet still not preparing Pickett to play...and then pulling the plug in the middle of the next game is wise leadership? Your fatuity is starting to rank right up there with Tomlin's.

By the way. I am not a huge Tomlin supporter. I have said many times on here that I would have let him go after the Tebow disaster,and I said it then. Not years after. I was always giving him the benefit of the doubt after that game. I think it’s just getting far too stale. It’s time.
But your comments up top are really quite something.

My comments are quite something -- sensible. Your comments? Just foolish, especially if your claim of not being a Tomlin nuthugger happens to be true.
 
For ***** sake, The bills don't need to prepare for much. The playbook will be watered down for the rookie and they know they'll try to move the pocket on passing downs. Steelers can't run or stop the run and the Steelers are soft in the middle zones on defense. This game is going to be a complete **** show. Minkah is hobbled, Cam looks to be 50%, Watt remains out and Bush continues his battle with Claypool for the softest Steeler on the team. Hell, even our punter is hobbled. China Doll Harvin.

I'll pray that Pickett isn't injured the next few weeks 'cause you Homers will have nothing to believe in, and I fear the suicide rate in Pittsburgh will skyrocket.

There's a reason why Bills are favored by 14pts. I wouldn't be shocked if it went up to 16.5 either.

Source: They put three crap-throwing monkeys in a room, each QB was assigned a wall (not sure why Bubby Brister was on the fourth wall) and the QB was chosen by which wall had the most crap at 3:00pm.

Tomlin approved, oviously.

Thank GOD those weren't my one-armed **** flinging monkeys. Mine do a WAY better job than that !!!!


Salute the nation

The Steelers actually match up well vs the Bills because the Bills don’t run the ball. It wasn’t a fluke that the Steelers beat them last year. If Watt was playing, the Steelers would have a shot. Without him, the Steelers still could play it relatively close but it will be tough unless somebody besides Highsmith can get a pass rush.

I was at the game ...and was surprised how slight of build he is...

Rookie needs to eat...or he is going to get broke.

Hopefully his presence will jump start this O, and get his O-Linemen to protect him well..

They could try a blitz or a zone blitz instead of perpetually rushing 2 or 3 dlinemen with 1 or 2 lbs.. or you know, just keep playing no pressure base cover 2 or 3 and praying for an incomplete pass on every passing down

I mean I wish Trabisky the best… I was hoping for him to turn things around, but you just can’t go back to him now

Dudes on The Fan saying he won't be back next year but I think he will. Rudolph will be a FA so he's as good as gone but we'll still need a #2 and Trubisky still has one more year on his contract. Just chill out, hold the clipboard, collect paycheck.

Take a look at that backup qb market next year… ill wager one of the two guys comes back just because there isn’t anywhere else to go.. if not, replacing them won’t be hard… Bring back Dobbs… he would be a fine #2

If Kenny is now QB1, then the argument for a capable backup to backup the backup QB2 is just dumb. Trade Rudolph or Trubiscan't to anyone that will pay for them. Maybe Darth Hoodie needs one?

No, I’m talking about next season. I’m comfortable with Pickett #1, Trubisky #2, and sign or draft a #3. Trubisky will be gone after next season.

I just do not get the value of Trubisky if he is not starting. $7M is way too much for a non-starting QB with poor fundamentals and no track record of success....what can he teach Kenny?

A lot. Look, I think Mitch has talent, but whatever went on in Chicago I think has really messed with his head. He doesn't play free. With this moron of an OC the Steelers have, it looks like it could be a Chicago situation for Pickett. Maybe Mitch can counsel Pickett on how to avoid some of that mental strain.

How to scramble and throw to the left and right. In my mind I am debating who is worse Rudy or Mitch? I might be leaning toward Mitch after what he has shown. Crazy as that sounds.

$7 mill might be the going rate.

He's going to have a lot to say I would think, and I'd like to hear it.

Say about what? What could he say more than he already has? He would have liked more reps with the first team? Already mentioned that...

I think all the juicy stories went out the door with AB.
