Steelers VS Dolphins game thread

[Lambert58]

There are plenty of HOF QB’s that had horrible rookie years. We’ll know next year if Pickett is the guy.

 

[Turd Ferguson]

Pickett isn’t the answer either… 2TDs and 7 INTs so far.

Steelers better rethink their draft choices

I'm not calling him Manning but Peyton threw 28 INTs his rookie year. He made a couple bad mistakes, he'll learn.

 

[6Rings]

Hate to say it, but Kenny Pickett isn’t ready.

One int was trying to convert 3rd down after repeated penalties back8ng up the offense. The second was throwing every down with no timeouts to try to score...

 

[maowv]

Pickett starts his NFL with:

2 TD
7 INT

That's ugly.

 

[MTC]

All of you giving Kenny grief just wait. He will be ok. Go look at Mannings first year.

Kenny also has Tomlin/Canada

 

[Lunar]

Ah, the suffering. The sweet, sweet suffering

 

[Omar10213245]

Oh, somewhere in this favored land the sun is shining bright;
The band is playing somewhere, and somewhere hearts are light.
And somewhere men are laughing, and somewhere children shout.

...but there is no joy in Pittsburgh—mighty Kenny has struck out.

For every Manning, there are 50 guys that never amount to anything in the NFL

Pickett isn't Peyton Manning. He may be good down the line, but those two INTs were terrible throws. He's going to get criticized for passes like that.

Something needs to be done on offense. Hopefully the D will stabilize towards the end of the year.

 

[Shane Falco]

This game is on Pickett. 2 costly turnovers at the end.

 

[MT~Forged]

I still think KP is going to be the real deal. For those who don’t see it, go check out Peyton Mannings rookie games.

Give him a decent OC and let’s see what happens.

Open up the offense for the guy. Don't matter who you draft if you are not gonna trust your QB...

 

[MT~Forged]

It would also help to have a decent D and DB’s that can catch

 

[suncitysteel]

Well, on the bright side, we weren’t run out of town in a rout like many taking heads had it. Many thought this would be a Bills-type score especially with all their “speed”.

 

[MTC]

That may have been on DJ. Pickett was expecting him to go back shoulder but DJ went the other way. I lost count of how many times i saw Ben make that same "what the hell are you doing" look at DJ.

There are a lot of miscues with Pickett and DJ & Claypool.

 

[Cras108er]

Hate to say it, but Kenny Pickett isn’t ready.

Dang you guys are rough. I thought he played well tonight. He’s a rookie and is going to make rookie mistakes.

 

[Stainless]

Pickett shows promise, imo.

 

[Steeltime]

Ugly throws by Pickett on those last two interceptions. No excuses. Yes, Canada sucks, agreed, but jeez, Kenny - you throw it right to a defender two drives in a row?

And a Miami team with 1 interception this season picks you off four - FOUR! - times?

 

[madinsomniac]

Pickett starts his NFL with:

2 TD
7 INT

That's ugly.

Look at Peyton mannings start… he had 1 or 2 td and 8 picks in like his first 3 games… this is why Rookies should not have to carry teams

 

[CoolieMan]

One int was trying to convert 3rd down after repeated penalties back8ng up the offense. The second was throwing every down with no timeouts to try to score...

and both were terrible passes

 

[Gildong Sack]

Pickett isn't Peyton Manning. He may be good down the line, but those two INTs were terrible throws. He's going to get criticized for passes like that.

Everyone praises Tua, but he could have had a 3 maybe 4 pick night tonight....Kenny will get better. He may not be the second coming of Joe Montana but he'll be good enough.

 

[Steeler Pride]

It would also help to have a decent D and DB’s that can catch

The D held the Dolphins to 16 points.

 

[SteelerSask2]

He made plenty of great plays. The offense smells like ***. He shouldn't be in these games. Hopefully he doesn't get over whelmed and they get competent people to help him next year. But that doesn't seem likely. This is a mess.

 

[SteelerFan448]

Dang you guys are rough. I thought he played well tonight. He’s a rookie and is going to make rookie mistakes.

It's fair to say a guy isn't ready to start when he has 2 TDs and 7 INTs. What's your end game this season, give Pickett experience and take the results as they come or try for a middling record with Trubisky or Rudolph?
