I don't see any justification for Sirianni to keep Johnson and Desai/Patricia after this season. They have to go.

Originally posted by IUPbigINDIANS View PostKenny Pickett meet Wally Pipp
Rudolph is the best quarterback on the roster right now. He’s experienced, has won games, and looks the most capable. Maybe Pickett eventually passes him, but it’s looking pretty clear to me that the Steelers reached badly for him. Regardless of how this season ends, Mitch needs to be sent packing and it might be for good. It’s a shame he got the reps he did and ended up costing the Steelers very winnable games by being terrible.
My guess is they’ll give Pickett another shot next year because he was their #1 pick, but he’s still on a rookie contract and not a big cap hit. Other than the embarrassment of picking him in the first round, the Steelers could move on and not be out a lot of money. I really doubt they’ll do it, but if I were the Steelers I’d sign Rudolph (if they can now that he has value), let Mitch walk, and give Pickett another season to show he is a legitimate NFL QB.
Rudolph has a 115.3 passer rating compared to 71.9 (Mitch) and 81.4 (Pickett). Rudolph completes 69% of his passes compared to about 62% for the other two. Aside from the stats, there’s what we can see with our own eyes. The last two weeks has been a far better Steelers offense than what we’ve seen all season prior.

I usually believe MM but there is an unusual amount of skepticism of his report from some others in the local media. One of Madden's sources was Roethlisberger. The two were neighbors at Washington's Landing when Ben was younger and became friends. If that was his source, not sure how accurate Ben would have things. Plus Dejan Kovacevic also lives at Washington's Landing and has refuted MM's report. I'd be surprised if this was true. It seems out of character for Pickett and the team didn't take Pickens doing something similar earlier in the season.
Apparently Kenny told the media today that he would have started if he had been healthy enough to dress. I don’t buy that, I think Tomlin was going to go with Mason’s hot hand either way. So maybe there is something to it when you pair this with Kenny’s one word “No” answer when he was asked if he’d learned anything sitting and watching. At the least, I would guess he doesn’t think much of Mitch or Mason.

Big Sexy isn't wrong often.
Also, his signature flavor wings from Big Shot Bobs are pretty great if you can get near one of their locations (although they're franchised and quality varies greatly).

I agree so its possible he was given inaccurate info.

Regarding the Yinzers, it is a sticky situation. Had he went back to Pickett, the black and gold nation would have made IUP fans look mild. You have to ride the hot hand. KP has largely been awful.
That team just looks and feels different with Mason. Looks like they came back to life. Not a good sign for KP's future. It certainly gives the vibe his teammates weren't going to war with him.

Which, if true, is interesting considering that he would bench a guy for poor play, but not for quitting on a play and saying he quit because he didn't want to get hurt.

Ok....the Stillers issues are basically non news. They are stuck in the 9-8 mud. It's a stale franchise with stale ownership and a stale coach. The franchise needs an enema.
The real crisis in Pennsylvania is the Iggles. We should be 14-2 going into the last week and the top seed and somehow they choked it all away and they have too much talent to be this bad.
