But that's the problem, he isnt going to sink or swim, he's a below average QB whose potential at best is a Derek Carr type career.

And it wont result in the Steelers getting a top 5 pick to draft a real #1 QB. We last drafted in the top 5 in 1970 when we got Bradshaw. This organization has enough talent outside of Pickett to consistently finish with 6-10 wins.

If the plan was to give Pickett a chance and worst case we suck this year and get a top 5 pick, I'd be on board. But that isnt how Steelers management/ownership sees it.

If Pickett is a bottom 5 QB, they have a really good chance of getting a top five pick. This division is stacked. They've lost Johnson for multiple weeks. Lost Hayward for at least 2 months. Things could really go south. Not to mention, they'll keep running Najee Harris out there when Warren is better.

Carr is a top 15 QB overall and can be a top 10 QB when healthy and when playing a system that fits his abilities.

Pickett is a bottom 5 QB in the league now, and I really dont rate his potential beyond 12-15 QB in the league at best.

So I wouldve happily taken Carr and kept that 1st round pick for something more useful.

I was never really sold on Pickett either, and I think having Matt Canada as an OC makes it even worse.

I'd rather use a guy that's either going to sink or swim as opposed to a middle of the road QB. If Pickett sucks, then you get a higher pick. If he figure it out, you have a young QB to grow with. Signing a guy like Carr is just going to keep you in mediocrity.

This only makes sense if you feel you need a top 5 qb to be a contender.

As someone who really tried to be into football to fit in with my Dad uncles and brother I just don’t get the appeal. Then it just has such a poopty culture surrounding it. Maybe if it’s a close game and they are taking chances at the end it’s watchable. Rarely happens though.

I like football, just nowhere close to how much I love hockey. I always watch NFL playoffs, love the single game elimination setup. Hell, even the only 17 game regular season makes each game so important. I like that.

What a steal

Really is...just a smidgen more than Rem Pitlick money....

But the only really bad player left is Carter. I doubt Nylander is enough to get Carter.

What’s the poopty culture part?

Steelers should aim to draft the 2nd CU QB in their history.

But that's the problem, he isnt going to sink or swim, he's a below average QB whose potential at best is a Derek Carr type career.

And it wont result in the Steelers getting a top 5 pick to draft a real #1 QB. We last drafted in the top 5 in 1970 when we got Bradshaw. This organization has enough talent outside of Pickett to consistently finish with 6-10 wins.

That's my fear. Pickett is ok enough that it's not a hole, but he isn't good enough to contend with. Probably going to be an era of mediocrity if he doesn't bust, but I never liked the pick.
