If Pickett is the long term answer, why put him in for 1 game? Let him get healthy for next year, no? Why risk aggravating an injury for 1 game? It's not like we are going to the 2nd round with Pickett as QB either so what's the difference?
If things are bad and certain parts stay the same, then you know what needs to change. But you don't know what needs to change if you don't change anything, so certain things need to change to improve. The only way to improve is to diagnose what's wrong and change what's wrong until it's the way it needs to be.
I don't think Pickett is the long-term answer but I KNOW the riendeer isn't. I do think Mason gives the team the best chance to win this season. I just don't place any value in winning this season. This team isn't going anywhere. You need a QB and a competent coaching staff. We have neither.
I don't think you understand diagnostics. Was the problem Canada or Pickett or both? If you change out both at the same time you eliminate none of the variables. I'm saying it would have been nice to know 100% that Pickett wasn't being held back by Canada before moving on.
And how much if this improvement is due to the removal of Canada and how much is due to the removal of Pickett?
Saw this. Odd though that several reliable reporters said the same thing. It wasn't just Madden from what I understand.Typical Mark Madden making up shit and then Pickett having to answer to it.
Pickett denies rumors he refused to be QB2 Sun.
Kenny Pickett on Tuesday denied rumors that he refused to be Mason Rudolph's backup for Sunday's game at Seattle.www.espn.com
First I saw was when Madden posted this:
Yeah that's the first I saw of it too. But then I heard Kaboly (I think?) also allude to it. And someone else too but fuckin hell man, i did a lot of drugs as a kid.
I just saw Cam Heyward use some word salad in response to it... Makes me wonder if there is some validity to it. Because why not just outright call it BS? Instead, he takes the PR road to say he never heard it. But I mostly think its a non-issue.
Yeah, I can't stand Madden. Really wish I would've pants'd his fat ass at the casino when I wanted to. My wife insisted it would just be another in a long line of bad decisions so I passed. Now look at me. All sad n shit.
I had the chance to at least give him the finger a few times at Station Square & Ross Park while he was doin some live shows on separate occasions... But I decided it wasn't worth the negative attention that he obviously seeks.
Naturally I would expect a 6-7 year vet to have a better capability of seeing the field. But I've said it before & I'll say it again that I do think Kenny has regressed a lot. Not exactly sure what is the exact problem, or if we can just attribute that to a combination of issues... Bad OC/scheme, distrust in the OL, playmakers failing him, etc. Got into bad habits of trying to extend plays even when pockets were relatively clean, or being too quick with progressions and not giving plays time to develop, or just flat out staring down his throws. Lots of concerning issues. But after Canada got fired, he had some good games. I think had that DJ TD been called correctly against the Bengals we'd be having a different discussion. And obviously had he stayed healthy then Mason would have stayed the Mason we already knew, and he wouldn't have sniffed the field.
