Are you guys on the Sports staff even Steelers fans? All you do is bash Kenny Pickett and Mike Tomlin. You say Pickett will never be a Josh Allen, Patrick Mahomes, Joe Burrow, Lamar Jackson, Justin Herbert or even C.J. Stroud. Out of all those QBs, how many have won a Super Bowl? One: Mahomes. So how are all of these QBs better than Pickett?

Who cares if you score 30 or more points in the regular season? If those other QBs can’t even make it to the Super Bowl, how are they so much better than Pickett? So in essence, they are all as bad as Pickett, except they won a playoff game. Whoop dee do!

You should stop bagging on Pickett, because he is just the same as them. Also, if you’ll remember, Terry Bradshaw was benched when he first entered the league and only got a second chance because the backup got hurt. It was only then that he started playing good.

So give Pickett a chance to develop before sending him out to pasture because he’s won just as many Super Bowls as many of the QBs you consider better than him — a big fat zero.
