Tomlins assistant coaching hires have been his biggest failure. It’s even worse than his red flag “system”…whatever that is.
It will always be arguable, but in my opinion Tomlin is a good coach and a good leader of men, but he did walk into a layup 16 years ago. IMHO he has been way too patient with pain in the asses. Sure he keeps the divas happy, but at what expense to teammates watching the favoritism and lack of accountability??
He benched Chuks for the season for questioning why they were playing starters in a game that was lost. Couldn’t be a larger double standard!

After 2 years on the bench, Mason Rudolph came in and just casually outplayed any game of Kenny's career. Lol. If that doesn't wake up Yinzer Nation on the guy, nothing will.

I don’t think many are debating that. I know I’m not.

Mason played great. The thing that bothers me here is a guy that has a shitty attitude and many ex and current Steelers feel should have benched has now been enabled. I guess I’m old school. Pickens BS is just beginning.

Did anyone see Trevor Lawrence got blown out 30-12 by lowly Tampa.

Should he be cut, Jacksonville draft a franchise QB like some want done here, right!
Must be a bust of a #1 pick in the draft. You never know for sure.

But if Kenny was good enough to "enable" Pickens, it probably wouldn't even be an issue lol. I don't agree with the way Pickens has handled his frustration, but I certainly understand it.

When Kenny went out, they were 7-4 in spite of their offense, not because of it. The only one of those 7 wins that was actually won by the offense was arguably the L.A. Rams game. The other 6 wins all needed the defense to score or come up with big turnovers. One-score wins thanks, in huge part, to the defense.

None of that makes sense. I see what you're attempting to do, but Trevor ain't Kenny. Trevor can actually win games based on his QB play.

Tommy….I just don’t agree with you. No excusing taking plays off, pouting and not blocking for teammates.

A friend of mine told me Pickens is top 20 in reception yards in the league. Sure enough, all this bitching and he’s right between Jaylen Waddle and DK Metcalf.

He’s a cancer that will never be happy. Good athlete, but he was a pain in the ass at Georgia and now here.

I see Mahomes lost again.
Should Kansas City along with Jacksonville consider drafting a QB to replace Mahomes and Lawerence.
After all is it them because they lost or team around them?

Constantly comparing the Kenny situation to other teams with good QBs makes no sense. Of course KC and Jacksonville don't need to draft new QBs. Pittsburgh, however, does.

I get what you're saying, but the guy is an otherworldly talent. If the Steelers had a QB with half his talent, it wouldn't be such an issue.

It's impossible to be a fan of high flying offense and not be frustrated with this team.

... Can we stow the Kenny Pickett worry 'till the end of the season?

Mason's gonna play again come Sunday - he gives our lads the
Best Chance to WIN!

Definitely agreed that Mason gives the team the best chance to win.

... Too Right, mate... IF our lads Lose - they're prolly OUT
of the play-off chase.

No quite sure WHY Tomlin had to piss-around with this.
He should o' named Mason the starter half-a-mo after
the Bengals game ended.

... Let's see how the match up goes today, mates.

IF Mason can have a good game - we stand a great chance to win!

It’s just halftime but Baltimore doing their part. May not need to play their starters in last game against us! They would kill us otherwise next week. They look like a SB team!!
Seattle is going to be a tough test.
