VICK is an ALL-TIME great...Just not with the Steelers...
Time to Rank where Kenny Pickett Belongs in the Steeler's All-Time QB List
- Thread starter Stryker
- Start date
Vick was a shell of what he was with the Steelers. I wouldn't use that comparison.

??? That was my point....he played in 5 games and had 371 yards in his Steeler career. He was BB's back-up only
But he did put on a show in the only Steeler game I've ever been to in SD in the 3rd & 4th Quarter...Then instead of going for the game tying FG with 0:05 seconds left they ran the Wildcat to Bell who got in for the game winner...
All the Charger fans who heckled me for 4 Quarters were gone when I looked up...Great day
Joe Gilliam.
Noll screwed up when he benched him. (j/K}
Actually, he could have been good. Gilliam like Bradshaw called his own plays. The story I heard somewhere was that Gilliam called too many passing plays. Noll couldn't break him from that, so he benched him. Don't know how true that is.

Well, it is a message board after all. Also, you are comparing Pickett to date vs others' entire careers...but yeah.....besides all of that, I agree 100% with you.

Hate to say itHell Joe Fricken Flacco won a SB why not Kenny *******.
But I would lay long odds KFP never has a playoff run like Unibrow’s Magical Mystery tour
Unless, of course his next stop is the Ravens…. And Ray Lewis comes out of retirement for a new retirement tour… Lol

Dog Killer. should never have been allowed back in the NFL
I was going to say this. Having that ***-hole mentioned as a Steeler QB is nauseating to me. **** him.
Brown never won a playoff game and FYI, we didn't win any playoff games before 1971, so it's tough to find 10 playoff winners in Steeler history. By yardage Kenny is already 13th, and I gave my reasons for putting him above a few of them above since they all had terrible records as starters.
First, this is on par with a Coach post to try to rank Kenny after 21 games played, this is one reason why I hardly post here anymore. But, if you are going to rank him at this time in his career, then you have to rank everyone on that list after the same amount of games. If that is the case he is squarely at #2, because only Ben had a better start after 21 games and it not by as wide a margin as you might think. Who knows if he gets it, but I can point to quite a few HOF qbs that have looked far worse than Kenny there first couple seasons, and that includes Terry Bradshaw. Brad didn't put it fully together until his 6 or 7 year:

Flacco's playoff run was the best statistical playoff run of any QB in league history. Absoulutely sickhouse. Double digit TDs 0 INTs. I watch his game vs IND and the game in DEN when he threw the bomb to win the game into our EZ to knock Manning out of the playoffs. Dude balled and was a good QB up until that year.
I said it on the post game show and a few of you mentioned it here on the site. I've moved off of calling KP Tebow and now feel he is more like Dilfer. Game manager, don't turn the ball over, put the team in position to win with a last second FG. Stover was their offensive MVP in 2000 as a kicker IMHO, and Boz is twice the kicker Stover was. This team can do something if they continue to control the ball and start to consistently win TOP with their running game which is starting to become a strength.
Here is where I got the numbers, feel free to check it out, I'm surprised on how little it takes to get to 13th in passing in our team's history.
I'll add this to the first post as well.

And Tomczak did win a playoff game, but he is behind KP because his terrible multi interception performance was masked by our superior running game and 5 rushing TDs to go with KP being a more clutch QB than MT

Trent Dilfer won a SB. Sure the defense dragged him across the finish line, but he still won a SB. I'm not sure our defense is good enough to drag this offense anywhere.Hell Joe Fricken Flacco won a SB why not Kenny *******
That would take a solid work week and about two cases of Jameson to dull the headache one would have from thinking about it

Look, I don't know "Dick Shiner" or any old school guys like that so I just leave them out, as the game was totally different then any ways. I keep it to the 70's and newer. The biggest question on here is Ben vs. Bradshaw as to who is #1. If you place a heavy amount of the decision on SBs, then you got to go with TB. But if you're gonna place as much emphasis on game-to-game play, Ben winds hands down. Have you ever watched TB's play in a regular game, not just highlights? He was horrible in large stretches, I mean really bad. And not just in his 1st few years, but later. He was inaccurate as hell and had no touch on the ball whatsoever. But if you are just basing it on SB highlights, then, of course, he looks a lot better.
I think, all things considered, Ben was the better QB but there is definitely room for debate. And, although not a great QB by any stretch, Tomczak gets underrated as a general trend.
Ben
Bradshaw
O'Donnell
Maddox (for about 1 year)
Tomczak
Brister (seriously flawed but had his moments)
Kordell (overrated by fans AND staff, (after they paid him the big $ and didn't want to admit the error)
Batch
Leftwich
Malone (sure looked the part but never had "it")
Mason Rudolph
Pickett (too early to seriously list/judge him but as of now, no higher than this, how could he be?)

And that D was very special, up there with the '85 Bears and 70's Steelers; that's some rare air. Our D today is NO where NEAR on that level: DL? No. LBs? No. Secondary? No.
