March 17, 20242 yr 3 minutes ago, cunninghamtheman said: Steelers weren’t going to trade Pickett supposedly. Steelers say Pickett refused to compete for the starting job. Which doesn’t even add up here really. He refused a chance to start…so he could be traded without question moving to a pure backup QB role? Pickett’s version is he was told Wilson was the starter. Whole different position backing up Wilson….or backing up Hurts. No shame in having Hurts be in front of you. That would be most of the league. Thar would be all of the league backing up Hurts in Philly....after the big contract. Now... you put all new contracts on the table and ask QBs around the league to compete for starting spot.. Different story. For us...Hurts is the starter the next 3 seasons. No question.

I see it as minimal draft investment...and minimal $$$. Very minimal investment all the way around. Sam Darnold netted a 2,4 and 6 when traded from the Jets.

Why would you believe a story telling you he "quit?” He quit on a supposed fake competition? Just so he could force moving here to a clear backup role? I just don’t even believe that story. Be actually believable if he forced a trade to a team where he had an opportunity to start.

For us we have Our Franchise QB in Hurts.
March 17, 20242 yr I’ve always viewed Pickett as a backup QB. Wasn’t one of those that were super high on him. We have two years left on Pickett. What’s wrong with developing him as a backup QB? I think it’s a good fit for him. I wasn’t high on him being a first round pick…but can see him becoming a backup.
March 17, 20242 yr I praise and bash Rosie all the time. He very clearly has been a large factor in driving the value of interior Oline. Big bucks to Brandon Brooks. Big bucks to Dickerson. Big bucks toKelce. All leading the market. Drafted Dickerson and Jurgens in the second. Could add Steen and some others into the conversation. Very likely looking to draft another early in this draft. How he’s driving the market…he almost has to.

I just think he wanted out of the situation in Pittsburgh...where they didn't do him any favors.

It was the comp pick from Hargrave. After all the third round picks. Basically a pick swap. We moved down 22 spots PLUS picked up two 7th rounders. 7th are basically UDFA's. I don;t pay them any mind

March 18, 20242 yr Andre Dillard is still available. Could see them bringing him back. He could be the starting RG.

Definitely don’t see that as possible dude was just awful on the right side…. Wasn’t a terrible LT obviously lost to Mailta but he filled in fine at that slot when needed…. I might be able to see Dillard going to LG…
March 18, 20242 yr When I see going to LG mean I think he could transition and play that position not him coming in taking Dickerson spot…. Felt like I hav to make this clear

If he was a proven commodity he would have started somewhere(which he did AFTER he won us the SB) I mean Foles started a few places he was our starter under Chipper had one of the best seasons ever that was the e what 27-2 year. Then got traded to the rams for Bradford. Was the starter but was terrible and lost his job. Pretty sure he was going to retire until AR convinced him to go to KC as the backup. Then came back to Philly we know that story got paid by the Jags and was meh again. Foles just wasn’t a good QB outside of Philly

I know RT he struggled.

I just remember him struggling with the movement on the right side as a RT and when he actually played LT looked more natural and was pretty solid
March 18, 20242 yr Author Never was a Dillard fan. He does the minimum possible. I don't want him back
