biggie. Posted September 23, 2022 Share Posted September 23, 2022 Pittsburgh is now 1-2 and Trubisky has been as bad as we have predicted. With all this, when should Pitt switch to their rookie? The stretch before the bye is BRUTAL. After the Jets, they have @ Buffalo, Tampa, @ MIami, @ Philly. After that gauntlet it's NOLA, Cincy, @ Indy, @ Atlanta, Baltimore, round two with Cleveland, @ Carolina and LV. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thomas5737 Posted September 23, 2022 Share Posted September 23, 2022 A couple weeks ago. I get trying to protect him from a suspect line but after his preseason not many coaches in this situation could have resisted throwing him out there to see if he could do what they know Mitch and Mason can't do. If this were a coach on the on the hot seat I think Kenny would be in there. This is a rare time that having a team that isn't fickle with coaching changes hurts giving the fans what they want. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jakuvious Posted September 23, 2022 Share Posted September 23, 2022 When Pickett seems ready. You never ran with Mitchell Trubisky because you thought he'd lead a successful team and a productive offense. He was always just an uncontroversial placeholder. They aren't (or at least really shouldn't be) surprised by any of what has happened so far with Trubisky, so there's no reason this should change their plans. Pickett's development is far more important to the team than not having a QB who sucks. So you go to Pickett when it is productive for his development to do so. 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Soko Posted September 23, 2022 Share Posted September 23, 2022 Whenever you as a FO think he’s ready to be the starter. If he’s obviously not there mentally in the film room/during practice or physically, then you let him redshirt the year if need be. He wasn’t brought in to be the 2022 fix. And neither was Mitch, maybe a dart-throw at best. If Pickett looks any sort of competent, I say you do it sooner than later. You can always go back if he flames out. But right now you’re not playing well enough to win games offensively, so before the season becomes a complete wash you might as well see what the rookie’s got. Again, only if you have some sort of confidence that he’s ready to take the field. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
brownie man Posted September 23, 2022 Share Posted September 23, 2022 At their bye week. Right now is too soon they’ve got the toughest part of their schedule coming up. Let’s Pickett have the whole true bye week to get ready. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BradfordSteeler Posted September 23, 2022 Share Posted September 23, 2022 Now. There's a very real possibility we're picking top 10 in the draft and the organisation should want to know if Pickett is the real deal or if that pick should be spent on a QB.

MWil23 Posted September 23, 2022 Share Posted September 23, 2022 They have a long week coming up now. I think if he’s close you make the move now. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
INbengalfan Posted September 23, 2022 Share Posted September 23, 2022 Any game except making us his first game. The bengals are horrible against QBs they have little tape on. See White, Mike. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hunter2_1 Posted September 23, 2022 Share Posted September 23, 2022 I don’t see why they are persisting with Mitch. You know what he is, might as well see what Kenny is. Are they worried that this team will kill his confidence or something? I’d want reps even in a losing cause Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DawgX Posted September 23, 2022 Share Posted September 23, 2022 Now. Mitch isn't the only problem with Pittsburgh, but he sure isn't helping them whatsoever, either. Might as well see what they have in Pickett. The OL has been better than expected so that can't really be used as an excuse at this point to not play Pickett.

BayRaider Posted September 23, 2022 Share Posted September 23, 2022 Pickett should of been the starter Week 1. Massively outperformed Mitch in pre season and was a wash in training camp. He’s a 24 year old Pro Ready rookie. I mean, that doesn’t mean we think he’s gonna be good, but he’s pro ready. Made no sense to name Mitch the starter. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DontTazeMeBro Posted September 23, 2022 Share Posted September 23, 2022 I’m a firm believer that you get good by doing things. I don’t buy the watch and learn approach at all. And if you’re so mentally fragile that struggling early in your career is going to permanently destroy you, you were never going to make it anyway. Only reason not to play him IMO is if he’s so bad that he has no business on an NFL field yet. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
