The Titans have something to work with though. Levis certainly looks better than Tannehill and Mike's better than Willis. They just need to focus on developing him the rest of the season to try to figure out if he's their guy moving forward or if they need to be looking QB early again.

Yeah he has shades of Darnold. Good arm, you can script some stuff with him and he'll make some good throws but there will be picks

It’s crazy how consistent Mike Tomlin is. 

It is. Pickett is not good but they are 5-3. It’s like smoke and mirrors but they always keep games close and always seem to have a good enough D. Roethlisberger became a shell of himself and Pickett has not been a top QB but he still hasn’t gone below .500. He’s pretty impressive. The only knock right now is that he doesn’t have the offensive talent, which is why they only have one “good” season in the last 6 years. They did sneak a second time into the playoffs but that was more due to Lamar getting hurt. They haven’t won a playoff game since 2016. They’ve been competitive but that drop at the QB spot (and WR) has kept them from being contenders. It’ll be interesting how long the keep with Pickett.

I can see the Steelers targeting a guy like Jayden Daniels this next draft.  They need to go for the boom/bust type at QB. 

The post-Ben era has been a lot of guys who have super apparent, limited skillsets and meh ceilings.  Rudolph, Trubisky, Pickett, time for them to take a gamble at QB.

Pickett ain't it. That's for sure. Hell, that was for sure when he was playing in college at Pitt. I have no idea how the Steelers deluded themselves into that blunder. They've been so good for so long by avoiding dumbass mistakes like that.

That's a crazy stat.

https://www.nbcsports.com/nfl/profootballtalk/rumor-mill/news/steelers-are-5-3-despite-having-fewer-yards-than-opponent-every-week-this-season

Through 8 games, the Steelers have been out gained in yardage 8 times yet they're 5-3.

16 straight seasons without a losing record isn't luck.  Mike Tomlin frankly still doesn't get the proper respect he deserves in Pittsburgh.

If they had drafted a certain guy who is 6th in the league in passing yards and passing TDs like I thought they were going to they're probably legit contenders.

      Preseason Week 3 - vs. Pittsburgh (practice tweets, discussion, etc)

      By raleigh-panther · Posted

      They had best show out in Week 1 there are zero,I mean zero,  excuses for that offense  defense, haven’t play together yet and they still have Mr Soft and Predictable as DC  I expect break downs at times  …but that offense returns all starters except Tremble and both Mayes and Brady are veterans and can play LG and know the system not up for any participation awards this season they can save that practice energy for Jacksonville.     I’m sick of the, winning,  or looking competitive, when it doesn’t matter.

      There are some tough decisions that I'm eager to see the results of... Does Blackshear sneak on to the roster as RB4? Does the team go with 4 TEs or just 3 again? And has Mitchell Evans done enough to defend his roster spot from James Mitchell? Who is WR6 and is there a WR7? TMac, XL, Coker, and AT seem to be locks imo and I'm assuming Renfrow also makes it due to all of the camp praise. Who makes it between Brycen Tremayne, Jimmy Horn Jr, and David Moore? If the team goes with 7 WRs, which one of those three doesn't make it? Jacolby George and Emani Bailey both have not gotten a lot of game time. Could the Panthers be trying to hide them so that they can be stashed on the PS? Do they go with 10 OL instead of 9? Who makes it out of Walton, Carter, and Kingston? DL locks are DB, BB3, ARob, and Turk. That leaves Jaden Crumedy, Cam Jackson, Sam Roberts, Shy Tuttle, and LaBryan Ray all competing for the final 1 - 3 spots. Does DJ Johnson get IR'd and Thomas Incoom make the roster as EDGE5? What in the fuuuuuuuuuuuuck is going to happen at LB? Only locks seem to be Wallace, Rozeboom, and Cherelus (Wallace has mentioned in media how Cherelus has been big bro for him on the team). Rhattigan had some good moments against Houston, Martin-Scott is an SC guy, Krys Barnes has popped on defense and on special teams, and Windmon got time starting for the team last season. Are two of those guys going to make it or are the Panthers poaching from another team's cuts? CB5... who is it? Do they go with the 4 expected safeties or bring in a 5th? Has Ransom done enough to take the start from Nick Scott?
