Who are Levin Furniture and Cochran Motors going to get to replace Kennyboy?
The Steelers just traded Pickett to the Eagles.

- Start date
All teams miss. Steelers haven't been great with first round picks generally speaking recently. They reached for a QB because they were desperate. The key is cutting them loose instead of making it worse.
I bet you could get him for a Day 3 pick. Wilson and Fields would be a nice upgrade over last year’s QB Room.
Thank god they cleaned out the Qb room now they need to get rid of Wilson he is another that isn’t worth the ground he stands on
You do realize that they're paying almost nothing for a qb who has been to two Super Bowls and won one and threw 26 tds just last season.
For 1.2M he worth every penny and then some. Not saying he'll be great but it's 1.2M for him.
I have never been an Eagles fan and up until now would rather have them lose than win. I have nothing against the players as I respect, they are very good. It is all on the Philly fans - passionate as they maybe, they are F*ging obnoxious idiots (many on here can relate). Saquon will change my perspective on the Eagles as I like the guy and the PSU connection. I'll be hoping for a big Saquon day and success on the big stage, even if it means the Eagles rise to great heights. So be it.
Now, throw in Klipboard Kenny who now Philly's problem. The dude is nothing more than a backup and Kenny and the Steelers were delusional to think otherwise. In my mind (like anyone else cares), the Eagles may succeed with Saquon but will fail with Pickett. Pickett is an over achiever who has the in-pocket yips and will never be more than a backup.

Give it up, Lando. The Steelers are a dumpster fire. They’d be better off cleaning house except for Joey Porter and Friermuth and starting over. If they were competent at talent evaluation they could get some nice picks for Watt and maybe one or two other guys. The next three years are going to remind you of the Bubby Brister era.
But don’t you see that’s exactly what they’re doing? They shipped off the players who had/were going to create locker room distractions (Johnson, Pickett) and are pretty much retooling the entirety of the offense. Not to mention making big splash moves on the defensive side of the ball.
Also, what evidence is there to suggest they’re poor talent evaluators? Khan and Weidl have been in charge for one year, and their first draft class was pretty good. This isn’t Kevin Colbert running the show anymore.
That would be the best QB room the Steelers have had in decades. Maybe the best QB room in Steelers history.
Eagles need protection, they know Hurts has peaked, gross over payment. Old SW conference QB, weak arm, can't read defenses. Not sure Pickett is any better.
Ding, ding, ding! We now have the monthly dumbest post winner. Your prize duncecap will be mailed to you.
I agree Ben and Bradshaw were better than Fields or Wilson. Ben's and Bradshaw's backups were never someone who could be a starter. Both Wilson and Fields are past successful starters.
Name two QBs who were on the Steelers at the same time and who together were better than Wilson/Fields. Big Ben and Bradshaw in their prime were certainly better than Fields or Wilson now. Their backups were stiffs.
Wilson isn't in his prime and Fields was never successful. Mitch was more successful than Fields. You're reaching. Tommy Maddox and Ben for example is infinitely better. Russ Wilson at 28 is possibly a different story but not Fields lol.
Ben and Charlie Batch is better because of how much better Ben was at the time than Russ is today. Even Ben and Mason was better than WIlson at 35 and Fields who is such as bust the Bears can't get anything for him.
Even if he is--is Russ close enough to Ben in his prime to make this better? Absolutely not.
Ben was very disruptive to the team . Shoulda dumped him after the Georgia Milledgeville attack,
Great news as Dan has been terrible. And if true can Tomlin be in his last season?
Here’s hoping!
Maybe they can trade a draft pick and get Rudolph back! 😹😻🙀
That's fine but we're talking talent. The Fields/35 yr old Wilson isn't close to Ben/pick someone. That room would be 2 QBs that had almost no market in 2024.
Then you have a controversy of Wilson vs Fields. I don't think Fields will sit behind Wilson.
Fields is basically Pickett at this point. Where would he start? Vegas preferred Minshew. Hell I'd prefer Minshew.
Being a team leader is the most important talent a QB can possess !
Yeah, their talent evaluation has been terrible. Last two drafts other than Pickett: Broderick Jones, Joey Porter, Keanau Benton, Darnell Washington, Nick Herbig, George Pickens, Demarvin Leal, Calvin Austin, Conner Heyward. All starter or significant contributors. Help me understand this poor talent evaluation thing.
You're being ridiculous at this point. Love or hate him Ben is a first ballot HOF that was liked in locker room. That's all that matters. Russ wasn't liked by teammates nearly as much as Ben. I don't even like Ben but let's be real.
I like the move for both sides. Pickett goes to a team loaded with weapons and he isn't required to start. Steelers obviously not happy with him, but they get a fresh start with a rental while figuring things out.
The Steeler haters are showing themselves on this thread: Wilson is a great signing and Queen is another. Getting rid of Doggin Dionte and Crybaby Kenny is another plus.
Bradshaw, Joe Gilliam and Terry Hanratty
