You're not condemning him, but then you type 16 more sentences bashing the guy. LOL.I don't condemn him. But I bet there is as many or more that fail after showing that one year impressive. It has been mentioned about his hands being small. He was in college a year longer than the Steelers usually target. Going off memory those prospects that had the one shiny year usually don't have 4 seasons of college. So without seeing growth step ladder in it each year there again will be one year concerns. Every prospect comes with a degree of concerns. Well the majority of them. So yeah he had a natural progression. He also took four seasons to naturally get there. He was an ok player who had a great year. We can both window dress it to our opinions but you can be sure different teams will weigh in on that. Some might feel like I do. Some might feel like you do. For the record I don't think he will fail or star. I think he will be somewhere in the middle. Not sure he is that franchise QB he better be if you are picking him mid 1.
Evidently, enough teams feel like I do, because Pickett is a consensus first round draft choice. But you're right, he'll never be any better than average because he took one more year in college to mature. Whatever you say, boss.
