I really don’t think Pickett works out. He doesn’t have any very good to elite ability. He’s merely average in most areas and it’s very tough to be a starting NFL QB when that’s the case.
Maybe he’s a Ryan Tannehill type but is that what Steelers fans want for the next 7-10 years?
He is a very good and capable backup. Nothing wrong with that at all and he will be needed. BUT he is not a starting QB or worth the draft pick they used on him.
But I also don't think he's the biggest issue on the Steelers. He's about 4th or 5th on my list...
Biggest issues IMO are:
1.) Tomlin (I like him but he is living off past results) his coaching hires have been busts. Which leads into #r's 2 and 3.
2.) Matt Canada, OC and this is not hindsight. I thought he was a very poor choice when hired. He had 1 decent year with Pitt when he had Connor on Offense and Donald (on defense).
3.) Teryl Austin, DC. Canada and the Offense get a lot of flak (rightfully so) but the Defense is bad.
4.) Pat Meye,r OL Coach. Ughhh. This is where I don't put all of it on Pickett or Harris. The OL is just putrid.
5.) Kenny P.
