Exactly, and fair play too, like that’s your choice happens a lot in life especially in business when new CEOs or Senior Management comes in. Russ is a bold move but less bold considering the price.

Perhaps Kenny’s attitude played into it?

1) Kenny "Quitter" Pickett. 2) Not professional, he refused to dress for Seattle. 3) Refused to do media at the end of the season even after exit interviews which even the most miserable players still give time to media. 4) He thought because he was a no.1 pick, he had leverage. 😭💀 He was taught his NFL business is run. 5) He got worse in year 2...

He handled the Mason Rudolph playoff run like a petulant child . His own teammates said they wanted Rudolph over Pickett. He couldn’t move the offense. Stagnant !! Same 3 and outs every game with 3 points on the board at halftime over and over . Bye ! Welcome to Pittsburgh Russell Wilson and thank you. . Thank you very much.

mrlotto6, at the moment the Steelers only have one QB, who is 37 years old, if Wilson gets injured like Aaron Rogers did in the first qtr. of his first game as a Jet, who is going to pick up the slack on short notice? They should have signed Mason and cut Kenny first. Mason is a known entity, if the Steelers draft or do a trade for another QB that other teams didn't want than my comment unfortunately could come true aka shot themselves in the foot to save money and possibly leave , TJ, Heyward, and Fitzpatrick with yet another losing season when they deserve the best chance to win a SB before retirement. I truly hope I am wrong; however, I always trust my gut. I admit that I am not a Wilson fan, because he isn't that good anymore, but than I tend to question Art Rooney's judgement regarding the Steelers legacy, what would Dan Rooney do?

The Steelers paid Kenny a 2-million-dollar roster bonus!

Interesting see I only see 3 prospects worth drafting in the first 2 rounds and a maybe (JJ McCarthy), Penix Jr doesn’t have the frame for the NFL and Bo Nix will be worse in the Pros than Pickett. But the picks will give them leverage for sure to move up or down and get the top talent. I agree they did well to get a top 100 pick and that’s all about leverage. Plus Fields could still be an option with a 2025 pick…Khan did well for sure!

There are about 10 players in this years draft that would have been ranked above any of the players from the 2022 draft. Bo Nox will not get out of the first round more than likely. Nix has it between the ears and is a better athlete than many think. Not a bad arm and also 4.59 in the 40. He is older like Kenny but a much better prospect IMHO! Not that he hasn't had misses, but Chris Simms has Bo Nix as his 3rd best QB in this QB draft.@@steelerstouchdownunder

Reason #3 He is old and was at his ceiling! It was not so much of a development as adjusting to the pro game. Reason #4 Pocket presence bailing on clean pockets! He played nervous! He was afraid of making mistakes. The first year he was slinging the ball without hesitation, This year, however, he played not to lose or not to be the reason to lose. Reason #5 He sucks and he knows that he sucks! This is why he felt threatened by Mason Rudolf's success at the end of the year. He felt threatened by Russell Wilson's signing with the team. He knows that he can't beat either of these QBs in an honest competition. He knew deep down that he was not good enough! That's why he leaves to be a backup where there is no pressure!
