 Kenny Pickett came in and relieved Mitch Trebisky, much like DK Metcalfe were leaving himself being carted to the locker room against the Lions. Kenny Pickett came in and gave a spark for this Pittsburgh Steelers team, and they almost beat the New York Jets. Is Kenny Pickett the better option for the Steelers moving forward over Mitch Trebisky? Taking a look at his performance this past Sunday against the Jets, 10 out of 13 of his passes completed, great completion percentage, zero touchdowns, three interceptions, that's not the best, but we'll talk about that in just a bit. And two rushing touchdowns, kind of kept the Steelers in the game with his goal line QB sneaks, but is Kenny Pickett the better option for Trebisky? Well, his three interceptions, I will say, one, it's his rookie year, it's his first game, like give him some slack, cut the man a break, and one of those interceptions I will say was to chase Claypool, it was a great pass, I don't want to say perfect pass, but it was a great pass that chase Claypool, catch radius should have been good enough to catch the ball off his hands into the Jets defensive backs hands in, that ended up being an interception. So Pickett moving forward though, what I did see in his performance for the Steelers is he likes to throw that ball deep. And this is the best game that George Pickett has had so far in his career, with Kenny Pickett as a quarterback, six receptions, 102 yards, and that's because Kenny Pickett throws it deep. That pass to chase Claypool, that was intercepted. I mean, Claypool could have had some pretty good receiving yards in this game if it weren't for his drop pass. Deogy Johnson, don't quote me on this, but I think there was a deep pass towards the back of the end zone from Kenny Pickett. It might have been from Mitch Trebisky, I could be wrong, but I believe it was from Kenny Pickett. So for a guy going into his first NFL game and completing or at least attempting all these passes deep, I like it a lot. Like he's taking shots and just trying to get better and trying to utilize his Pittsburgh Steelers receiving core the way that they should be utilized. And I think it is better for the Pittsburgh Steelers moving forward because the way that Pickett has been playing in pre-season, guess what? A lot of his great performances came from Kenny Pickett, being the quarterback in pre-season, throwing him the ball. Chase Claypool has been almost a non-factor with Mitch Trebisky. Had he caught that catch? Would have been a factor. Giorgio Johnson, two receptions this past weekend for 11 yards, not the greatest, but maybe with Kenny Pickett under center, develop a little bit more chemistry, could be the safe like five to 10 reception kind of guy every game moving forward. Like I like it a lot. And then Pat Frymuth as well. Like against the Jets, you may not believe it, but the Jets are pretty good against tight ends and stopping them underneath. Had seven receptions for 85 yards. So Kenny Pickett is looking pretty decent as of right now. I will say this is very, very intellectual by the Pittsburgh Steelers for them to sign Mitch Trebisky knowing that they're gonna be drafting Kenny Pickett a little bit later on. Because if you look at the contract situation and the financials of it, it was reported that he signed a two-year, $27 million deal. Trebisky did for the Pittsburgh Steelers. You can think of yourself, ah, it's a little bit of money for a guy that's a bridge quarterback that you don't know is gonna be your starting quarterback moving forward. But only 14 million of that 27 was guaranteed. That means 13 million came from incentives. And if Kenny Pickett was named the starter this early on those incentives, they saved that $13 million. Now moving forward, pre-June 1st, before June 1st, you can trade them, you can cut them, and you only take a $2.6 million cap hits on the cap space. They knew what they were doing. If they hold on to Trebisky moving forward, and then you release them after that June 1st date and trade them after the June 1st date, then you're gonna pay a little bit more money. But a decision is gonna be made on Trebisky. He's not gonna be in Pittsburgh more than likely in 2023. So the Steelers were very, very smart with a contract with Mr. Trebisky, knowing that they're gonna be drafting Kenny Pickett a little bit later on. But it pretty much summed it up, man. I like Pickett. I like Pickett. I love, I just keep going back to the fact that he was just attempting deep passes. He was looking George Pickett's way. That's something that Steelers fans wanted for so long. Hopefully Najee Harris, like this may open things up for Najee Harris, who hasn't been looking the best. But, you know, you can't be too sure about that. That offensive line needs some help as well. But moving forward, this is a great decision. This is a great decision by the Steelers because a lot of talk has been made or talked about, oh, it's best for the quarterback to sit and wait and learn your rookie season. And I've talked about for two years, three years, four years on this channel. There's no data, statistics to really back that up. Like it's actually proven in the favor of if you start a majority of your games, your rookie season, then moving forward, you're actually gonna have a better career rather than just sitting and waiting. There are exceptions. I get it. Aaron Rodgers, Patrick Mahomes, I get that. But those are like the only two. Like Trevor Lawrence is having decent year this season. He played all his games last year as well. Derek Carr played all his games this rookie season. Like there's just multiple examples on top of examples of players playing all 16 games and they move on to have pretty good careers. Leave your comments down below. I wanna hear your thoughts on Kenny Pickett being the Pittsburgh Steelers quarterback. Do you think that he's gonna be successful? This Sunday against the Bills, it's gonna be a little bit tough. I don't think so. I don't think he's gonna have the best game. Bill's defense, man, Sean McDermott on the other, this is just random, but Sean McDermott, like if you don't have your quarterback won, quarterback two, safety one, it doesn't matter. Like it's just kind of like a plug and play kind of defense. They have success no matter what. Like I just wanna give him props on the defense that he creates in there. I guess more so to Leslie Frazier, the defensive coordinator, but still. Yeah, we don't expect a great performance from Kenny Pickett and we have very low expectations but I mean, he can get things going with his legs. So leave your comments down below. I wanna hear your thoughts. Like Kenny Pickett is gonna be a successful quarterback for his career, maybe the season and for the Pittsburgh Steers and what this means for them moving forward. Are they a playoff contender this season or do you think that, hey, let's just see what we got. We kind of need to rebuild right now but moving forward next season, I think we're gonna be in a better spot. Leave your comments down below. I would love to interact with every single one of you.
