All I know is that Pittsburgh Dad's episode, on KZread, was absolutely EPIC! LOL So so funny. I have friends that are Bears and some even Ravens fans that watch his KZread channel regularly. That guy is funny, Steelers win, or even funnier when they lose! Treat yourself and visit his channel. 😂

The only quality quarterback play last year was when Rudolph started. He left, Mitch was cut, and Kenny traded. Wilson, Fields, and draft a rookie. It looks 100% better already in 2024.

I’ve been watching Gerry Dulac do these little brief interviews on all kinds of networks since I was a kid. One thing has always been consistent: He is typically the FIRST one to get some Steelers news but rarely is that news accurate! I really think the teams sources mislead him all the time on purpose ! Especially during Tomlins tenure because Tomlin doesn’t like everyone to know what’s going on . Dulacs sources are usually giving him broad information that never sounds right ! But I swear y’all call this man credible and gloat about his reporting prowess like he isn’t just like most reporters that get 💩 wrong all the time! 😂😂

IMHO Mason Rudolph was marked for departure when he involved a lawyer in threatened defamation over the Myles Garrett allegations. Remember that the Steelers were involved in litigation in 1976 with one of the Raiders. The Rooney‘s, and Chuck Noll despised having to sit through depositions. They weren’t going to cut Mason Rudolph, but I believe there is no place for him because of how quickly he resorted to a lawyer, and would not be surprised if it was interpreted as a threat to the Steelers if they released him after the incident.

Y'all need to remember, Dulac works for the Steelers. Dulac will say what the Steelers want him to say. A lot of people don't know that Russ and his wife are co-owners along with a minority owner of Steelers in Acrisure the company who has the naming tights to the stadium. Playing in Pittsburgh was a no brainer. Also Kenny had tightrope surgery and was no way ready to return to play when they said he was and wasn't even going to attempt it. A lot is often not said for some unknown reason. Why is telling the truth so difficult for these teams.

Well, if you want Steelers Party Line, that was spoken like a true-blue Putinist.

ALWAYS A GREAT POD CAST.

Here's what happened! Russ wanted assurance that he was the starter. Steelers hesitated, wanting a competition, wanting to show some respect to KP. Russ said "no way". When they saw they were going to lose him to some other team, they gave in. No way there is going to be what Dulac is saying about a competition. He's just covering his behind because of his crappy reporting on the whole issue. If Russ, who could be on a short leash, plays lousy then they can try Fields and the season will be done

Kenny Pickett did not want to compete with a 35 year old quarterback, who has been on a three or slump. It’s not like he is going to beat out Jalen Hurts to get a start. From now on, he should be called Kenny Pack it.

Russ had one bad season and that was caused by external factors. In 2021, Russ would have led the Seahawks on a tear if he hadn’t gotten injured. He was leading the league in passing when he got injured.

@r.williamcomm7693

@@DeCurtaRican Yes you’re fair to say just truly one bad season (2022). Media pretty much revised it to including 2021, his last season on the Seahawks (losing season with injury) & 2023, since it resulted in Payton concluding that Russ couldn’t run that system. At the some time, all 3 of those seasons were huge let downs considering what was expected. Regardless, Kenny Pickett taking off for the Eagles where he has zero chances of starting is about the most un-competitive thing I’ve seen a young, recently starting QB do in years. Expected Kenny to act differently.

Note that all of this happened BEFORE the free agency period began.

From what other reports have said, Kenny was told after they signed Russ that Russ would be the starter and that there would not be any competition as they originally promised. Kenny asked to move elsewhere as a result of being switched on, he did not "throw a hissy fit" as Gerry insinuates.

I kinda don't trust Dulac. He is literally the media mouthpiece for the Steelers. Much like Human Resources is working on behalf of the company, not the employee. Not a fan of Pickett. I thought he was a terrible draft choice, and a terrible quarterback. But there are two sides to every story, and I believe Tomlin and the Steelers may not have functioned with transparency and integrity. Most who leave Pittsburgh have similar stories and experiences. This ain't Steelers we grew up on. This is something else.

Mason leaves an Opening so they Go after Russ because the Money to Talent is right. They Deal Dionte before He even hear the news about having to grab Russ. Kenny is Obviously in Blonde Hair Day when seeing his performance with last year setbacks. Mason showed it wasn't All if Not Mostly All Matt Canada BUT Kenny Picket because they were STILL using Matt's Playbook. Mason was the ONLY one could pull it off out of the 3. Who Knew? Now Russ comes in with a Leadership Skill That Kenny Just Didn't Have or Showed.. See Minkah Comment on Leadership. Now Kenny is mad because Everyone is like HELL YEAH after Russ's Speech. Russ resume is Volumes in which Kenny COULD AND SHOULD Learn from BUT Kenny said Noooooo I want 1st Team Reps.. My 13 for 13 Proved It.. Marcia Marcia Marcia.. Deep NOTE: He's from South Jersey Folks NOT the Same Breed as North Jersey NOTE... Mike T said Tuck In Your Skirt Nancy Let's Ball and See what You Got from Under Elite Stress..

Russ will not take a meaningful snap for the Steelers, ever.

Steelers will be dead last. Colossal mistake blowing up a first round draft pick on a rookie deal after one year when they had so many other problems on the OL and bad receivers. The steeler "fans" became irrational against Picket for almost no real reason and this was a sop to them. Wilson is 35 and declining bad. The Broncos are not eating 40 million and getting rid of him for no reason. Fields is a bust. How exactly the Steelers and their fans now have it in their heads that this is an improvement is a mystery. This is Cleveland Brown level bumbling and fantastical thinking. Picket had a winning record and was not even remotely a bust and they made the playoffs with him. He will get another chance if not nest season, the one after, and will be a very good QB and the Steelers will look back on this as one of the worst decisions they ever made. PS. This Dulac guy has no idea what he is talking about ever. Rudolph was never ever coming back. They did to him what they just did to Picket. The Steelers are a mess which is why Picket got out too. They do not keep their word and are lousy with QBs
