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. He needs a change of scenery anyways. Now he's got new and better offense, coaches, and can learn under Jalen hurts.

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.
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.
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.
He’s came a long way from three years ago even I thought he was a average an coming into the nfl but he’s got better and has been in the mvp talks a few times maybe not last year but he deals with a lot of injuries cause of his style of play
@@RickfordNunes I agree with he totally picked his game up,and maybe the most improved player I've seen,in the past couple of yrs,but far from an MVP!

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. McKee was a STUD in the preseason last year and looked better than Marcus Mariota. So with another year under his belt, I really don't think Kenny is beating him for the QB2 job🤷♂️
@@folumbI mean, they had Mariota and Minshew before Pickett. A backup isn’t meant to come in and perform as well as the starter, just run a basic offense
@@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.
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...
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 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

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
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.
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.
The thing I noticed about Kenny Pickett besides his tiny hands,was the lack of leadership,at every press conference after a loss he never ever took the blame or the responsibility,it was always something or somebody else's fault! That's not a sign of a leader or an NFL QB!
@@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
I feel like Kenny doesn't want all the heat from Pittsburgh he went to Pitt had to hear about himself being small his hands being to small him wearing gloves I wish he would have stayed and learned a few things from Wilson but Fields is taking full advantage of the time he has with the veteran QB in Russ and it has definitely lit a fire under him, im just glad that Fields is getting an opportunity to showcase himself instead of being another QB waisting away in Chicago no offense Bears fans but until you get some people to protect your QB and get him one guy to throw it down the field to the rest could come together. I'm a die hard Steelers fan but I've grown up into a fantasy football fan too so I follow players from high school on up if possible. But I cheer for dynasties I fully enjoyed seeing the Jets kick the pats ass last night loved seeing Detroit get on a roll last season and I'm always rooting for these teams like the Bears, Panthers, Cardinals, and the Texans that they'll be in the mix I love football but I want to see good games great teams and big plays on offense and defense now that would be a perfect world and football will always be football sometimes the other guys come out on top from the rip. Long story short I'll always root for Picket but the fact he didn't even give it a shot is concerning on how he feels about competition and apparently he would rather leave than fight for his spot and I'm happy with Fields and the future for this team The Steelers are in my opinion only a season or two away from a Superbowl and we need to get there within the next few seasons our defense is solid but just like any team time will make old men of us all and eventually guys have to retire and step away just hoping for something special for Cam Hayward before he calls it quits and Tomlin deserves at least one more ring before he hangs up his headset
If he gets an injury start, he's going to hear all the same stuff... He sucked. You think the Philly crowd is more tolerant and nicer than here in Pittsburgh?? Think again. They'll eat him alive over there. Toughest sports fans by far.
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.

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
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.

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.
Yea i don't think we were gonna get fields if he didn't complain im happy he did ib really liked KP and still had hope but. Im so happy bc we got the qb I wanted bc hes a bi&&h. Fields will bring us 7
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
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
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.
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 💀
It’s funny how this ended up today, Wilson was not on the field and the backup started. First game of the season a Justin Fields was playing, that could have been Kenny but some guys just know everything
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.
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
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
Calling Jalen hurts a perennial MVP candidate is doing a lot of work and being very generous. The super bowl season he was great but he's been just okay since then.
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.
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.
Dude was told after 2 year of russell wilson being a top 32 qb that he had to be his backup? Crazy, never should’ve talked, insubordination, he must hate the elderly…ect. ect.
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.
It's been widely reported since then that Tomlin promised two players two different things. Tomlin told Kenny they were bringing in Russ, and Kenny accepted it graciously. After it was announced the two even exchanged friendly texts. Then, Kenny got word that the reason Russ signed in the burgh and cancelled his next two interviews was because he was given a nod and wink from Tomlin that he would be QB1. Tomlin used the word "pole position" Kenny had been part of Tomlin's QB competitions before when Mitch and Mason were there. This was not a a "competition" at all. It was Wilson's team now. Kenny knew it and asked for a trade. He didn't ask to go to the Eagles, so bringing up that point makes zero sense. The Steelers chose the Eagles and Kenny will be a pretty good/decent career backup, which if I'm being honest, is probably what he's suited for.
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.
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.

He will forever be a backup. He never had the talent of a starter. His feelings got hurt and he seriously thinks he’s better than what he is.
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.
"Perennially in the MVP conversation" loooool dude had 1 good year.
Right lol
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...

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.

This Comment is 100% Spot on....
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.
i like how everyone thinks hurts is superman
@@saysoun752yes because, Steelers already declared Russ the started, can't say I don't blame the guy.
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.
Wasn’t Pickett the one who is playing better than Jalen hurts?
Kenny Picket was the one who “IMMEDIATELY “ asked to be traded. All his fault.
He does NOT have the talent

I feel like Kenny doesn't want all the heat from Pittsburgh he went to Pitt had to hear about himself being small his hands being to small him wearing gloves I wish he would have stayed and learned a few things from Wilson but Fields is taking full advantage of the time he has with the veteran QB in Russ and it has definitely lit a fire under him, im just glad that Fields is getting an opportunity to showcase himself instead of being another QB waisting away in Chicago no offense Bears fans but until you get some people to protect your QB and get him one guy to throw it down the field to the rest could come together. I'm a die hard Steelers fan but I've grown up into a fantasy football fan too so I follow players from high school on up if possible. But I cheer for dynasties I fully enjoyed seeing the Jets kick the pats ass last night loved seeing Detroit get on a roll last season and I'm always rooting for these teams like the Bears, Panthers, Cardinals, and the Texans that they'll be in the mix I love football but I want to see good games great teams and big plays on offense and defense now that would be a perfect world and football will always be football sometimes the other guys come out on top from the rip. Long story short I'll always root for Picket but the fact he didn't even give it a shot is concerning on how he feels about competition and apparently he would rather leave than fight for his spot and I'm happy with Fields and the future for this team The Steelers are in my opinion only a season or two away from a Superbowl and we need to get there within the next few seasons our defense is solid but just like any team time will make old men of us all and eventually guys have to retire and step away just hoping for something special for Cam Hayward before he calls it quits and Tomlin deserves at least one more ring before he hangs up his headset
If he gets an injury start, he's going to hear all the same stuff... He sucked. You think the Philly crowd is more tolerant and nicer than here in Pittsburgh?? Think again. They'll eat him alive over there. Toughest sports fans by far.
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.

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

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.

Kenny was traded before the Fields trade
Yea i don't think we were gonna get fields if he didn't complain im happy he did ib really liked KP and still had hope but. Im so happy bc we got the qb I wanted bc hes a bi&&h. Fields will bring us 7
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

It’s funny how this ended up today, Wilson was not on the field and the backup started. First game of the season a Justin Fields was playing, that could have been Kenny but some guys just know everything
That’s why you prove yourself on the field by showing what you can do!
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.
Jalenz Hurtzz stinks. The Eagles are a bad game or two away from total collapse.
Kaepernick was never in the mvp conversation and not on the same level as Hurts. Its silly to compare the two
@@notaa6992 I agree.
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.

Calling Jalen hurts a perennial MVP candidate is doing a lot of work and being very generous. The super bowl season he was great but he's been just okay since then.
Getting demoted to backup probably saved his career actually
This Man's Complaining Just Secured His Career. Grew up in Jersey. Relatives in Harrisburg,Pa.
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.
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 💯💯💯
Well he still gets a fat check for doing nothing.....that's the American dream 😆
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.
The saw music is very fitting for this lmao
Dude was told after 2 year of russell wilson being a top 32 qb that he had to be his backup? Crazy, never should’ve talked, insubordination, he must hate the elderly…ect. ect.
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.
Getting drafted to Pittsburgh ruined his career 1.5 seasons with a bunch ass coaching staff
Russell Wilson was having an MVP caliber year as well
It's been widely reported since then that Tomlin promised two players two different things. Tomlin told Kenny they were bringing in Russ, and Kenny accepted it graciously. After it was announced the two even exchanged friendly texts. Then, Kenny got word that the reason Russ signed in the burgh and cancelled his next two interviews was because he was given a nod and wink from Tomlin that he would be QB1. Tomlin used the word "pole position" Kenny had been part of Tomlin's QB competitions before when Mitch and Mason were there. This was not a a "competition" at all. It was Wilson's team now. Kenny knew it and asked for a trade. He didn't ask to go to the Eagles, so bringing up that point makes zero sense. The Steelers chose the Eagles and Kenny will be a pretty good/decent career backup, which if I'm being honest, is probably what he's suited for.
Bros on his favorite team from his childhood and seems very happy with his situation
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.
He definitely would prefer being hurts backup than listening to Russel Wilson talk
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.
Dude went from a place he’ll never win a Super Bowl to a super bowl contender.
