Steelers Trade Kenny Pickett to the Eagles

[bythenbrs]

NFL = not for long

[SmokinwithWilly]

Might be a chance to learn something behind a decent QB If not, he's likely out of the league anyway.

I can't believe they are betting on Rusty. I would have kept Pickett for sure.

This comment makes no sense.

 

First they didn't bet on Rusty, they signed him for 1 mil for 1 season. 

Second Pickett sucks. So why bring him back?

Maybe but Pickett demanded a trade because he didn’t want to be a backup in Pittsburgh, but he’ll  backup Hurts in Philly???

backup on a super bowl contender is a bit different

This has Russell Wilson written all over it. He doesn't want people in the stands calling for the Pittsburgh kid every time he throws a pick. I don't even think there is another QB on their roster right now.

We’ll, to be fair, there were a lot of people at the time who didn’t think there was a first round prospect in the class.

Probably easier to swallow backing up Hurts as opposed to Wilson

They just shipped off their young quarterback. He may not be developed, but he's the only other quarterback on the roster. Russel Wilson is turning 36 this year.

I don't think you understand Kenny Pickett sucks. Once you understand that you will understand why they went with Russ.

Its not like Pitt didn't surround him with talent. The kid had a good WR core. He just wasn't showing any signs of improvement.

 

Bryce will be in a similar situation this year. If he shows no sign of improvement we have to move on and go draft another QB.

Now there is some noise coming out of Pittsburgh about Picket not willing to dress week 17 as the emergency QB (did not know that was the case) and that he was not cooperative about Wilson coming to town.  Sounds like a Diva.

He did not want to stand beside Russell during the national anthem, for one, because their jerseys would read "Wilson Pickett"   Thank you.

[Johnstonny]

They gave him 2 years...pretty much what we're doing with BY... They had the sense to move on.

Broncos, Steelers, Falcons, Washington, Patriots - all decisively moving on from QBs who they deemed not good enough.

The Panthers - let's run it back with Young, he needs more time.

And that's why we suck.
