From what It sounded like he wanted to go to the eagles. Even before his draft he spent the most time with the eagles going out to dinner and stuff even though there wasn't a chance they'd draft him. It's his home team and him and his family's favorite team. I think he just figured if he was gonna be a backup he wanted to be on his favorite team. Besides eagles have more weapons and better oline for him to work with than he's had with the Steelers. He's probably going to have his best play yet backing up Jalen. He shouldn't have started his rookie year and wasn't put In A good situation. And then they signed russ to take his job outta nowhere. I don't blame him for leaving.

Near the end of last season, Pickett was promised the start for next season. But of course, when the team signed a veteran who will NOT be anything else but a starter... that damaged Pickett's confidence big time. So he ended up complaining. IMMEDIATELY the Steelers staff traded him. It's not all on Pickett. He does have the talent to be a great starting QB. But in the big leagues, they don't bother trying to "train" rookies anymore. They just thrust you into impossible situations and expect you to play 15x better than you did in College. That's why all the "great" QBs drafted in the past 7 years look like complete busts (minus Maholmes, that man is a true freak when it comes to talent). There's very little trust in the young QBs because everyone wants that "Dan Marino" or "Philip Rivers" QB right out of the gate. Quality talent, Bonafide starter and can lead an offense with little talent at the WR position.
Not presumably to compete. It was reported that there was going to be no competition, and that it was Russell’s job. - Ian Rapaport Kenny ruined his career by passing for 2,000 yards and 6 TDs. Why tf would they let him compete for the starting Job?
Either way, Russell Wilson was signed to a 1 year contract. If he played mid overall he wouldn't be back next year and Kenny would compete for QB1 against somebody else, and probably start for the second half of the season at the very least. Now he'll be a backup unless he does well enough in preseason that a team that ends up desperate for a QB gives him a shot. He probably just begun his career as a backup that'll play for 7 or 8 different teams and then retire.
I'm an Eagles fan and have to say, judging on how he looks in preseason, he's absolute garbage. The 3rd stringer looks much better. Please take him back
The funny part is that Pickett thinks he handled it “the right way” even though now he’ll probably never hold a starting job ever again. Only way he’ll see the field is in preseason and if the QB1 is injured
Thing is pickett is a eagles fan he playing for his favorite team and just by playing well in the preseason can get him some looks from other team if they qb goes down during the season
@@folumb We brought him in to compete with the QB with drafted last year, Tanner McKee. If he beats him out for the starting job, it is what it is, but i doubt that's going to happen.

Woah woah woah let’s slow down with hurts “perennially” being in the mvp conversation. He wasn’t in the conversation last year and 3 years ago he was seen as an average QB.
@@Steelfan-oe7okEhhh, idkkk.. even if he didn't cry and whine, I think Pittsburgh still might have gotten rid of him after signing Wilson and when they had the opportunity to get Fields. It's a super easy decision. Like, you wouldn't even have to think about it. If you find out that you have an opportunity to get Fields after signing Wilson, you're immediately choosing Fields over Pickett. But, considering that he did cry and whine, he probably would've been booted from Pittsburgh for absolutely nothing, lol. He probably would have been released even if Fields wasn't an option. Pickett doesn't understand that he's just not good. He's really thinks that he is good enough to be a starter and that he's good enough to be the face of the Steelers and hit with a franchise tag. When in reality, dudes not good, at all. He's barely even good enough to be in the league at all, even as a practice squad QB. His playing alone showed that he barely deserves to be a backup and that he will only be able to keep a drive alive for a couple of plays if a starting QB is forced to miss a couple plays for whatever reason. He's backing up Hurts now, but Hurts isn't injury prone and if anything, he'll only see the field in preseason and if Hurts needs to sit out a play or two. Other than that, I don't see him being an Eagle next season IFF he even finishes out this year without being cut. He's more than likely going to be fighting for a starting position with A.J McCarron in the UFL, lol.
Sooo that's y he complained.....because he wasn't confident in beating out Justin fields (they had this planned for awhile im sure. Idk y people think these business function like regular people and make decisions on whims)
Once they got Wilson, they weren't going for Fields anymore. They wanted to see Pickett compete against Wilson. Pickett then had a hissy fit, so they traded him and then got Fields for peanuts. Pickett showed his true nature. Between this and how he acted when Rudolph played and did good.
@denisfolcik1373 Oooh, okay. I honestly thought that even tho they had already signed Wilson, once Fields became available and Pittsburgh had an opportunity to get him that it was a "no brainer" and they would have easily dropped Pickett in a blink of an eye of Fields regardless of his attitude. At least, if I was apart of the Steelers head coaching staff or apart of the decision making group, I wouldn't have hesitated to drop Pickett for Fields. I just don't see any potential in Pickett as a starting QB or even as a reliable backup. Like, I feel the most he would be able to do would be to keep a drive alive if the starting QB was forced to miss a couple snaps for whatever reason. But, if he were to go down with an injury that forced him to miss multiple weeks, whoever Pickett played for at the time would be totally screwed. Wilson isn't a terrible QB. He just wasn't with an organization that was for him, if that makes sense. I feel like Fields was in the same situation, just less severe than Wilsons. Fields has the potential to be a really good QB and possibly even a franchise QB if he is with the right organization. He's gunna be a clutch backup for Wilson. Pickett, nooo. Not so much. He's like a practice squad QB or even a UFL QB like A.J McCarron.
I disagree. He has a better chance at winning a ring as a backup for the Eagles. He can also learn from some of the best players in the league. Sure, he won't get any playtime but he's still getting paid. He also grew up in New Jersey and was raised an Eagles fan.
The truth came out in the talks with Tomlin. Tomlin never wanted to draft Pickett. It was a Colbert and Rooney decision. Kenny didn't want to play for a coach that didn't want him and a GM that didn't draft him.
@markjantz6177 lmao what are you even talking about? Hurts is good, but he ain't more proven then Russle 🤣🤣 russle got a Ring and several MVP's. Hurts got 1 championship 😂 and 1 SB appearance
The new United Football League is looking for some qb's😂😂😂 Kenny needs to work on his professionalism. When he told reporters that he learned nothing watching Mason from the sideline....I knew then he wasn't the guy,...now look at him 🤦🏾♂️🤦🏾♂️
Mason was better anyway, ever since dude got married and stopped chasing pussy he seems to be have become focused and gotten better. I think he would have been the starter if we didn't get Russ and Fields and he still might compete who knows? We have a lot better QB room than we did that's for sure, and for cheap as hell too
@@katiecaddle209 8-4-1 NFL record. Rudolph is going to start in Tennessee and will b another eff up on Tomlins long list of eff ups. The Steelers have great players since Tomlin showed up. Once Cowhers leaders were gone it's been hard to watch all stars get outcoached and outschemed
His career will be fine. Steelers changed their mind about him and showed him that by trading for two other quarterbacks. There was never going to be a quarterbacks competition. So the dude asked to be traded rather than continue to be humiliated by the Steelers. Both sides got what they wanted, given the situation.

@@Switchfoot81084he just sourced and said press conferences losses he had watched Are you stupid? Would you like the date time temp and color shirt he was wearing? STFU. This isnt highschool little buddy, adults talk about things
Didn't he asked to be traded though? I think he would had stayed had it been an open competition but it's Wilson's job to lose. Just like it's his job to lose against Fields. Also, Pickett is going to his hometown town team in the Eagles. His rookie contract is also guaranteed so he's still going to get paid. As for Wilson getting the veteran minimum, all it did was screw with Denver as Denver will just have to pay the rest of the money that he's owed.
By contrast, Tom Brady was a backup QB (199), he worked his ass off, kept his mouth closed. He famously said, when they put me on the field, I'm never coming off.
Yea I was thinking the same thing. Once my 49ers figured him out he hasn't been the same. We'll see what he looks like this upcoming season. But he looks the same as he did down the stretch of last season, he won't be a starter for long...

Kenny Pickett is garbage. Dude should have never been in the NFL. Only reason he got drafted is because he’s a Pittsburgh kid. Grew up there, went to Pitt, so he got drafted by the Steelers. He’s legitimately an away qb
Alternatively getting traded to backup an excellent QB might help his career since he actually can learn how to do things RIGHT. Not saying it will happen, but at least Pickett has the opportunity to learn, improve & get better.

@ajones957 lol are you new to watching football ? You're talking like Kenny Pickett is a good QB. You don't bring in competition ? You aren't worth arguing with you're a troll. I couldn't agree more and clearly the Steelers organization couldn't agree more that Phillys bench is the best place for little hands to cry on.
Talking about Jalen Hurts being "perennially on MVP conversation" is ludicrous. He has had 2 good seasons, and being honest it could be argued he has only had one real good season. Far from the meaning of "perennial MVP candidate", he is just an okay-good QB.
Well yeah, when he's only been a starter for 3 years with this year coming up, then yes he's been top 5 in mvp voting since becoming a starter, up until the collapse at the end. Other than that, yeah he was a perennial mvp
He will hurts holds the ball too long and he is very predictable he will only throw the ball to his favorite player instead of throwing the ball to someone who is open and could potentially get a first down and then some and with a lot of holes in the offensive line and the replacement that they got we have no idea if they will adjust not to mention a new coaching staff on both sides of the ball
After Bosa and niners put playbook out on hurtz he hasn't been the same. Basically hurtz looks to run first so if you can block run lanes and just contain him in pocket he seems to be average.@@user-fl2pt8vl3y
Ya never know in the NFL, Hurts was in the MVP conversation in 22/23 and showed some regression last year. And, his style of play leaves him more susceptible to injuries (tbf, so does Wilson’s.) I seem to recall another running QB who led his team to a Super Bowl but couldn’t quite finish the job, was talked about as an MVP candidate, deteriorated rapidly, them got famous for taking a knee.
@@Da19thbronzemen Mad that I insulted your girlfriend? Cry about it. His only redeeming qualities as a QB were low interceptions and the tush push. Well his interceptions are bad now and the tush push is gone. Your window closed in Philly.
@renaldoawes2210 lol the tush push isn't gone. Hurts is still a great starting qb being over-rated doesn't mean you're not good.

As a Steers fan, I'm ultra excited about the upcoming season. Instead of ass remaining clinched wondering if Pickett will materialize into anything , i have the opportunity to watch Justin Fields be our potential franchise guy or watch Wilson get his revenge & guide us to the Super Bowl.
I think the organization lied to him that they would improve the team and give him a shot to turn things around and instead benched him without allowing him to compete for the job.
He got hurt, Was severely outplayed by Mason, Was told he would have to compete with Wilson, Then ran because he can't beat Mason, He certainly isn't beating Wilson. Never even took the chance, He knows he hasn't a shot in hell of starting....Anywhere. Quitter and a loser, Already a 1st round bust. Glad the steelers didn't try to hold the crybaby because they drafted him about 4 rounds to early.
@Shawn_313 good points but Mason was already gone and wilson is no world beater at this point in his career. Wilson / Pickett (see what I did there) were terrible for majority of last year. Tomlin had his work cut out for a winning record this year.
He's gone so they did improve the team. If he went into camp looking like a brand new QB he'd have a chance to compete but we'll never know because he cried his way out
As a Steelers fan, Kenny unfortunately is not good enough to start in the NFL. Too inconsistent, too many valleys, and has a bit of an attitude/ego problem.
Probably true - but you've got an aging Wilson and another guy not good enough to start based upon his career so far - who also has had his attitude questioned.
He was treated like shit by my Steelers. Lost his job while injured, and underwent surgery to come back faster, and overlooked for a third stringer to play in the playoffs, terrible move.
QB play aside, that’s a huge dig by the Steelers organization to bring in two guys, 1 of which no one is even certain is good anymore and the other has yet to actually prove his worth. Meanwhile Kenny Picket has had the starting job in Pittsburgh for a few years now with Ben retiring and has still kept up the streak of a winning record. I know I’m probably by myself but I feel that is a huge dig at Kenny Picket from the Steelers organization
You absolutely nailed this. He wanted to be Ben 2.0, but now he is going to play back up (if he’s lucky) to a QB that is beloved to Philly. Not his best move.
I Bleed Black/Gold and now I have to be a Wilson fan, but we have fields and one day he will be Boss of this team ! Nothing but good luck to this young man Kenny Picket
No better place than a backup QB. If Pickett stays on the Steelers, he is less likely to revive his career. Hurts gets hurt every year, so Pickett will get to play with a top 5 offense as a try out to other teams, not a bad gig.
There is more to it. I don't think Kenny was getting the suppost that he needed in Pittsburgh. After Kenny left, the Steelers got highly draft offensive line men, that should have been drafted last year. Remember, Bledsoe was highly rated when skinny Tom Brady was drafted. Kenny was playing on a badly coached team, with a bad offensive line. This has happened to the Steelers before both Johnny Unitas, and Lenny Dawson were on the Steelers, and rejected by the Steelers to go on to the hall of fame. Steelers are going to go on to become 1st in the 2025 draft pick.
All 3 QBs on the Steelers roster decided they wanted to go elsewhere for next season. That is all you need to know. Kenny never had anyone question his character, personality, work ethic, or leadership until he came to the Steelers. His on-field performance wasn't good enough and that's all there is to it.
Agree. Also what’s wild is his complaining period, he should be grateful he’s even in the league. Oh, not just that but that he even has a chance of playing and that somebody wants him. There are so many young people that want to go to the NFL but aren’t able like that is a good dream and this dude is complaining over that… At least he’s on a team but now he may not be for long.
Eagles fan here. Glad we got him cheap. I think he's got potential. Just needs polishing and to be humbled. The Eagles will humble him. And if they don't, us fans sure will.
Its example of many still out there of how young adults overlook their self ego they developed thru growing up around on line sociology of this new society, their emotions running away just like how they expressed themselves thru their media outlet. Many young adults are too worked up over nothing due to being habit of behaviors on line, it brings out this persona in the real world of being the BASE FOUNDATION of your place in this world.
Actually the way Jalen Hurts performance regressed last season, Kenny Picket could end up starting at some point. Remember the last Eagles starting QB turned into a disaster while his backup won the Eagles their first superbowl.
I would be pissed of my team sold me out and lied to me too. Now he is on a winning team and will have a fresh start. Why would he wait for the Steelers to make him a starter again when they clearly do not want him? Your take on this situation is sophomoric.
Saying he rather go to Philly to backup Jalen Hurts over staying to compete against Russ who “ Might not be on the roster next year “ is such a reach.. Russ is better it was a QB UPGRADE SIGNING & Pickett knew that
I don’t even understand what Pickett was complaining about. Why do young cats not want Veteran QBs on their team. Ahead of them or behind them, it doesn’t matter. It’s literally free knowledge because the vets got no reason not to teach the young guys.
Honestly Pickett might have saved his career. Is he gonna improve more sitting behind Wilson for anywhere from 1 week to a year or learning from someone who’s consistently in the MVP conversation on a team that’s in their Super Bowl window? Pickett gets to sit for a year or two on a contender, possibly coming in for relief duty and/or injuries, and then try to re-establish himself as a starting caliber QB.
More than likely, the shittiest system in the league ruined his career. It’s either that or Matt Canada wasn’t to blame. If that’s the case, everyone owes Canada and his family a sincere apology.
Well, the Steelers said he complained. So, that’s not exactly a reliable source. Remember when they said Bruce Ariens “retired”? The best thing to happen to K.P. is getting out of Pittsburgh.
Kenny got so spooked and fumbled so bad, not only could he have still been the starter when he was there they went and got a back up QB who’s arguably better right now than both of them 💀
If you have ever watched him play, you would realize he never had a chance at a career as a starting qb in the NFL. He made the safe career move by never having to compete for a starting role and still getting paid millions. The only bigger joke is that Mitch Tribisky still gets paid to be a qb in the league.
The Steelers ruined his career. First year after getting no reps with the #1 off they throw him to the wolves in week #3. He has no offensive line to speak of and has the worst offensive coord in the history of football. He gets hurt, has the special surgery to get him back playing quickly just to get benched for Mason Rudolph. Then in the off-season they bring in Wilson. If I were him I'd want to get as far from the steelers as possible
Ruined I don’t know about that. He’s going to be a back up in Philadelphia and back ups Do pretty good here. Look at BD Nick beat the goat in the Super Bowl.😮😮😮
As we have seen over the last 50 years, back up QBs often get their chance after the starter goes down. Pittsburgh sucks. The Eagles are contenders. I would rather go to Philly than get benched for Russell Oldman.
He’s has a great job- won’t get hurt- and will be broadcasting in 5 years with no health problems- plus Pittsburgh will never beat Kc-Buff or a healthy Cinn in playoffs! With Philly has a shot at Super Bowl 😊

You kidding me?! Pickett just complained his way to his best shot at a super bowl ring!
That's what I thought. Worse situation? I think not.
and if he actually plays...yeah, complaining is always taking a bad chance. But this time, it's a win for him.
Wrong.....when you are the third or fourth best QB at training camp your A$$ will be on the street real quick!
What 😂
Lol eagles fans are delusional... gotta love it tho
Woah woah woah let’s slow down with hurts “perennially” being in the mvp conversation. He wasn’t in the conversation last year and 3 years ago he was seen as an average QB.
If you think Justin fields would’ve been the third string behind Kenny Pickett your definitely delusional
Never would've traded for Fields if Kenny cries didn't want out
@@Steelfan-oe7okEhhh, idkkk.. even if he didn't cry and whine, I think Pittsburgh still might have gotten rid of him after signing Wilson and when they had the opportunity to get Fields.
It's a super easy decision. Like, you wouldn't even have to think about it. If you find out that you have an opportunity to get Fields after signing Wilson, you're immediately choosing Fields over Pickett.
But, considering that he did cry and whine, he probably would've been booted from Pittsburgh for absolutely nothing, lol. He probably would have been released even if Fields wasn't an option.
Pickett doesn't understand that he's just not good. He's really thinks that he is good enough to be a starter and that he's good enough to be the face of the Steelers and hit with a franchise tag.
When in reality, dudes not good, at all. He's barely even good enough to be in the league at all, even as a practice squad QB.
His playing alone showed that he barely deserves to be a backup and that he will only be able to keep a drive alive for a couple of plays if a starting QB is forced to miss a couple plays for whatever reason. He's backing up Hurts now, but Hurts isn't injury prone and if anything, he'll only see the field in preseason and if Hurts needs to sit out a play or two.
Other than that, I don't see him being an Eagle next season IFF he even finishes out this year without being cut.
He's more than likely going to be fighting for a starting position with A.J McCarron in the UFL, lol.
Sooo that's y he complained.....because he wasn't confident in beating out Justin fields (they had this planned for awhile im sure. Idk y people think these business function like regular people and make decisions on whims)
Once they got Wilson, they weren't going for Fields anymore. They wanted to see Pickett compete against Wilson. Pickett then had a hissy fit, so they traded him and then got Fields for peanuts. Pickett showed his true nature. Between this and how he acted when Rudolph played and did good.
@denisfolcik1373 Oooh, okay. I honestly thought that even tho they had already signed Wilson, once Fields became available and Pittsburgh had an opportunity to get him that it was a "no brainer" and they would have easily dropped Pickett in a blink of an eye of Fields regardless of his attitude.
At least, if I was apart of the Steelers head coaching staff or apart of the decision making group, I wouldn't have hesitated to drop Pickett for Fields.
I just don't see any potential in Pickett as a starting QB or even as a reliable backup.
Like, I feel the most he would be able to do would be to keep a drive alive if the starting QB was forced to miss a couple snaps for whatever reason. But, if he were to go down with an injury that forced him to miss multiple weeks, whoever Pickett played for at the time would be totally screwed.
Wilson isn't a terrible QB. He just wasn't with an organization that was for him, if that makes sense.
I feel like Fields was in the same situation, just less severe than Wilsons.
Fields has the potential to be a really good QB and possibly even a franchise QB if he is with the right organization. He's gunna be a clutch backup for Wilson. Pickett, nooo. Not so much. He's like a practice squad QB or even a UFL QB like A.J McCarron.
The saw beat is crazy
More than a decade later, it still goes hard
@isaigutierrez1617 2 decades
I disagree. He has a better chance at winning a ring as a backup for the Eagles. He can also learn from some of the best players in the league. Sure, he won't get any playtime but he's still getting paid. He also grew up in New Jersey and was raised an Eagles fan.
A real QB.........Kenny Pickett should take his rightful place in the CFL it worked out for Doug Futie
That's not a bad idea. The problem is the pay, by comparison a fraction of the NFL.
He's an arena football league player
The truth came out in the talks with Tomlin. Tomlin never wanted to draft Pickett. It was a Colbert and Rooney decision. Kenny didn't want to play for a coach that didn't want him and a GM that didn't draft him.
Until it’s Tomlins money on the line, he really doesn’t have much say in the matter

His career will be fine. Steelers changed their mind about him and showed him that by trading for two other quarterbacks. There was never going to be a quarterbacks competition.

His talents make him a career backup as well
Didn't he asked to be traded though? I think he would had stayed had it been an open competition but it's Wilson's job to lose. Just like it's his job to lose against Fields. Also, Pickett is going to his hometown town team in the Eagles. His rookie contract is also guaranteed so he's still going to get paid. As for Wilson getting the veteran minimum, all it did was screw with Denver as Denver will just have to pay the rest of the money that he's owed.

Why would you want to be a backup to a QB who has at best 9 wins in a season left in him instead of being a backup in minimum the NFC title game
Talking about Jalen Hurts being "perennially on MVP conversation" is ludicrous. He has had 2 good seasons, and being honest it could be argued he has only had one real good season. Far from the meaning of "perennial MVP candidate", he is just an okay-good QB.
Well yeah, when he's only been a starter for 3 years with this year coming up, then yes he's been top 5 in mvp voting since becoming a starter, up until the collapse at the end. Other than that, yeah he was a perennial mvp
And calling him an "okay good" qb is laughable, bc every journalist and pro that follow the sport for a living would say that opinion is trash.
look up the definitions of the words "perennial" and "candidate"
Fr. Everyone sucks Hurts off but he aint even that good. Any mediocre quarterback in the eagles system would look amazing.
Thank you
That’s if Jalen Hurts doesn’t get “hurt”
What I was thinking
He will hurts holds the ball too long and he is very predictable he will only throw the ball to his favorite player instead of throwing the ball to someone who is open and could potentially get a first down and then some and with a lot of holes in the offensive line and the replacement that they got we have no idea if they will adjust not to mention a new coaching staff on both sides of the ball
Hurts can get hurt he'll still come back as the starter

I wouldn't count on either of those things happening. Wilson or Fields did nothing last year.
I think the organization lied to him that they would improve the team and give him a shot to turn things around and instead benched him without allowing him to compete for the job.
He needed to be benched since he obviously he didn't learn anything from watching Mason play.
He got hurt, Was severely outplayed by Mason, Was told he would have to compete with Wilson, Then ran because he can't beat Mason, He certainly isn't beating Wilson. Never even took the chance, He knows he hasn't a shot in hell of starting....Anywhere.
Quitter and a loser, Already a 1st round bust.
Glad the steelers didn't try to hold the crybaby because they drafted him about 4 rounds to early.
@Shawn_313 good points but Mason was already gone and wilson is no world beater at this point in his career. Wilson / Pickett (see what I did there) were terrible for majority of last year. Tomlin had his work cut out for a winning record this year.
He's gone so they did improve the team. If he went into camp looking like a brand new QB he'd have a chance to compete but we'll never know because he cried his way out
As a Steelers fan, Kenny unfortunately is not good enough to start in the NFL. Too inconsistent, too many valleys, and has a bit of an attitude/ego problem.
Probably true - but you've got an aging Wilson and another guy not good enough to start based upon his career so far - who also has had his attitude questioned.

The steelers, in general, make ignorant decisions .
You absolutely nailed this. He wanted to be Ben 2.0, but now he is going to play back up (if he’s lucky) to a QB that is beloved to Philly. Not his best move.

From all Steelers fans thank you Kenny for showing us all you don’t have what it take to be a Steelers we want volunteers, not hostages 💯💯💯
Nope, not holding it against him. People change and hopefully he will grow as a QB. Wishing him well (but not needed) and Welcome to Philly!
I Bleed Black/Gold and now I have to be a Wilson fan, but we have fields and one day he will be Boss of this team !
Nothing but good luck to this young man Kenny Picket
No better place than a backup QB. If Pickett stays on the Steelers, he is less likely to revive his career. Hurts gets hurt every year, so Pickett will get to play with a top 5 offense as a try out to other teams, not a bad gig.
There is more to it. I don't think Kenny was getting the suppost that he needed in Pittsburgh.
After Kenny left, the Steelers got highly draft offensive line men, that should have been drafted last year.
Remember, Bledsoe was highly rated when skinny Tom Brady was drafted.
Kenny was playing on a badly coached team, with a bad offensive line.
This has happened to the Steelers before both Johnny Unitas, and Lenny Dawson were on the Steelers, and rejected by the Steelers to go on to the hall of fame.
Steelers are going to go on to become 1st in the 2025 draft pick.
All 3 QBs on the Steelers roster decided they wanted to go elsewhere for next season. That is all you need to know.
Kenny never had anyone question his character, personality, work ethic, or leadership until he came to the Steelers. His on-field performance wasn't good enough and that's all there is to it.
Agree. Also what’s wild is his complaining period, he should be grateful he’s even in the league. Oh, not just that but that he even has a chance of playing and that somebody wants him. There are so many young people that want to go to the NFL but aren’t able like that is a good dream and this dude is complaining over that… At least he’s on a team but now he may not be for long.
Eagles fan here. Glad we got him cheap. I think he's got potential. Just needs polishing and to be humbled. The Eagles will humble him. And if they don't, us fans sure will.
Its example of many still out there of how young adults overlook their self ego they developed thru growing up around on line sociology of this new society, their emotions running away just like how they expressed themselves thru their media outlet. Many young adults are too worked up over nothing due to being habit of behaviors on line, it brings out this persona in the real world of being the BASE FOUNDATION of your place in this world.
Pit was gonna move Pickett regardless he cost them a lot of games
Well in his defense, Nick Foles went to Philly to back up an MVP candidate and ended up winning a Super Bowl
Actually the way Jalen Hurts performance regressed last season, Kenny Picket could end up starting at some point.
Remember the last Eagles starting QB turned into a disaster while his backup won the Eagles their first superbowl.
Trust he will start. Kellen moores offense will get jalen hurt.
Pun intended 😂
I would be pissed of my team sold me out and lied to me too. Now he is on a winning team and will have a fresh start. Why would he wait for the Steelers to make him a starter again when they clearly do not want him? Your take on this situation is sophomoric.
Saying he rather go to Philly to backup Jalen Hurts over staying to compete against Russ who “ Might not be on the roster next year “ is such a reach.. Russ is better it was a QB UPGRADE SIGNING & Pickett knew that
I don’t even understand what Pickett was complaining about. Why do young cats not want Veteran QBs on their team. Ahead of them or behind them, it doesn’t matter. It’s literally free knowledge because the vets got no reason not to teach the young guys.
Wilson is a prima donna.His wife is a prima donna.
Honestly Pickett might have saved his career. Is he gonna improve more sitting behind Wilson for anywhere from 1 week to a year or learning from someone who’s consistently in the MVP conversation on a team that’s in their Super Bowl window?
Pickett gets to sit for a year or two on a contender, possibly coming in for relief duty and/or injuries, and then try to re-establish himself as a starting caliber QB.
Fields is there too meaning he was never gonna stay anyways💀 bro just talking to talk at this point
More than likely, the shittiest system in the league ruined his career. It’s either that or Matt Canada wasn’t to blame. If that’s the case, everyone owes Canada and his family a sincere apology.
Well, the Steelers said he complained. So, that’s not exactly a reliable source. Remember when they said Bruce Ariens “retired”?
The best thing to happen to K.P. is getting out of Pittsburgh.
Kenny got so spooked and fumbled so bad, not only could he have still been the starter when he was there they went and got a back up QB who’s arguably better right now than both of them 💀
Backing up Hurtz is better than staying on the Steelers with Fields and Wilson
If you have ever watched him play, you would realize he never had a chance at a career as a starting qb in the NFL. He made the safe career move by never having to compete for a starting role and still getting paid millions. The only bigger joke is that Mitch Tribisky still gets paid to be a qb in the league.
The Steelers ruined his career. First year after getting no reps with the #1 off they throw him to the wolves in week #3. He has no offensive line to speak of and has the worst offensive coord in the history of football. He gets hurt, has the special surgery to get him back playing quickly just to get benched for Mason Rudolph. Then in the off-season they bring in Wilson. If I were him I'd want to get as far from the steelers as possible
Ruined I don’t know about that. He’s going to be a back up in Philadelphia and back ups Do pretty good here. Look at BD Nick beat the goat in the Super Bowl.😮😮😮
And WHAT IF Jalen Hurts gets injured? Jalen does get hurt!!!. I tend to agree Kenny Pickett hurt himself by not staying in Pittsburgh.
Well he still gets a fat check for doing nothing.....that's the American dream 😆
Russell Wilson was having an MVP caliber year as well
Nah. If hurts sucks ass this year, which he will, Pickett gets a starting position by December
I have no idea how this scrub was ever named a starter
As we have seen over the last 50 years, back up QBs often get their chance after the starter goes down. Pittsburgh sucks. The Eagles are contenders. I would rather go to Philly than get benched for Russell Oldman.
He’s has a great job- won’t get hurt- and will be broadcasting in 5 years with no health problems- plus Pittsburgh will never beat Kc-Buff or a healthy Cinn in playoffs! With Philly has a shot at Super Bowl 😊
Pickett refused to dress to be the backup QB the last game of the regular season because Rudolph got the start and that's why they got rid of him
