August 17, 20242 yr Just now, GreenbleedinNC said: They could have said no,but you will be the 2 here and he wanted out,then comes here as the 2 and he's is playing his way to the 3 They got Fields..plus picks. ..got rid of a guy who wanted out. In what logical scenario would they keep Pickett instead of getting Fields and the picks?
August 17, 20242 yr Author Just now, cunninghamtheman said: I’m just telling you my read on the situation. I’m hearing very clearly from our organization there has never been any competitions at QB. So yeah I watch Pickett and see a guy just not giving any huge excuses to force himself to lose his job. Siri came straight out pulling numbers of his completion percentage. These guys understand the situation and what needs to occur. I’m seeing Pickett’s play seem to reflect this. He can take 4 sacks and hold on to the ball and survive as number two. If he does drastically terrible then maybe a change could be forced on the situation. Throw around the line of scrimmage and take sacks. He keeps his job. That’s my take on the situation. Depth chart week one: Pickett second string QB. Is what it is. done with this topic

August 17, 20242 yr 9 minutes ago, joemas6 said: Again.... it's August 17... why is it important.....which QB ...whom both are miles behind the semi God Hurts...who can only make us a 10 win team.... is named #2 right this moment? One would assume after the season is lost with Hurts out.... that the coach would play the guy who thinks will do best. If that guy doesn't do well then he puts thr other guy in. Why can't the opinion change later. Does everything have to be a premeditated master plan that can never change? See actually there should be open competition to where McKee could earn the backup job. It’s the predetermined master plan that’s getting in his way here. It’s the issue.

Depth chart week one: Pickett second string QB. Is what it is. Just curious... Pickett is second string Vs MCKEE as second string. Does Vegas change the point spread of the opening game either way?
August 17, 20242 yr Author It was nice to see ASmith score the 2 pt game winner. I hope he plays well next week. I'm kind of worried he won't make the team at this point. What to do with Covey
August 17, 20242 yr 9 minutes ago, GreenbleedinNC said: They don't want to piss off Howie and we don't need a drama(yet it's there regardless). Kenny will start as the 2. if he needs to play and sucks Siri needs to try McKee That’s where we are at
August 17, 20242 yr 2 minutes ago, GreenbleedinNC said: I'm done with this topic Lol... I can see why ... because it would be dumb for Pittsburgh to keep a guy who wanted out....instead of getting Fields and draft picks. Especially a backup.
August 17, 20242 yr 9 minutes ago, GreenbleedinNC said: Some request trades and are not granted them. They didn't think enough of Pickett to even keep him as the 2,but he was fine coming here as the 2 and now he's not playing like a 2 Has he ever played like a 2?

August 17, 20242 yr McKee wants out... we can get Justin Fields plus 2 draft picks.... what do you want Howie to do?

August 17, 20242 yr 9 minutes ago, joemas6 said: He was asked about playing the starters... his answer was they ran the 80 or so plays. Wouldn't you assume he meant the starters got in a lot of work in joint practice so that's why they didn't play in the preseason game? Especially since is was a response to that specific question? No I think he was directly avoiding him right before that being called out on his own statement of regretting not playing the starters in the PS…which he’s exactly doing right again. I saw it as a predetermined deflection technique.
August 17, 20242 yr Just now, GreenbleedinNC said: I'm done with this topic It's about McKee...I hear he wants out...we were offered 2 draft picks for him. Should we take it?
August 17, 20242 yr Author Just now, joemas6 said: McKee wants out... we can get Justin Fields plus 2 draft picks.... what do you want Howie to do? Hurts wants out(Pickett was the starter in Pitts) we can get Fields and picks what does Howie do?

I saw it as a predetermined deflection technique. He mentioned the amount of work / plays they got in...right after being asked if his players needed to play and get work in. Not a stretch to understand he meant the starters got in plenty of reps. Didn't need them in the preseason game

Wouldn't you assume he meant the starters got in a lot of work in joint practice so that's why they didn't play in the preseason game? Especially since is was a response to that specific question? I don’t know what the heck it means. He didn’t say the starting O got in 89 plays. Or even the starters got in 89 plays. He didn’t even specify if the plays were all 11 on 11. Or if it included any ST? No idea. But he was real ready with that answer to deflect for sure.

Howie can't trade Hurts.... the dead cap would put us over the cap. Pickett making peanuts actually saved cap for Pittsburgh...plus they got a better QB and 2 picks.
August 17, 20242 yr 2 minutes ago, GreenbleedinNC said: McKee is not the starter But McKee has a contract that can be traded.... Hurts can't be traded. Pickett was not the starter either. The comparison of Pickett to McKee is there.... Both backups and cheap. Hurts an expensive starter whose contract can't be traded is not a legit comparison
