Pretty obvious that Levis > Kenny
The difference in physical talent, especially arm talent is astounding.

Levis has made more impressive throws in 6 quarters than Kenny has in two years.
It's going to be so depressing when we run it back with lil ken next year.
If you're a smart fan, you're rooting for Pickett not to give any false hope, and for us to lose a bunch of fucking games this year.

Scientific sample size of two games but you be you.

Anyone who watched that game tonight and thinks Pickett is a better player than Levis... I truly, genuinely don't know what the hell you're seeing.

Define better. Levis has played 2 games. Pickett is struggling badly, but he is winning. 7 4th quarter comebacks Isn't bad. Stats were similar, one td vs one int though was the difference. And as someone else pointed out, it should if been 4 ints.
The jury is out on Pickett. No one can deny he has made some big boy throws in 4th quarters. He is very inconsistent throughout the entirety of games.
Levis could very well go onto to be the more prolific passer. Better player, even. But I'm not writing off any QB who has won as much as Pickett has and that included key plays in the 4th. If he could channel that energy through a full 4 quarters, he'd be a great QB.
You do not need outlier physical talent to succeed in the NFL at the QB spot.

More consistently accurate. Shows better footwork in the face of pressure allowing him to hang in the pocket and still make quality throws. Better ability and overall talent to make off platform throws. Pickett consistently misses high basically anytime he can't set his feet. That doesn't happen with Levis. Clearly superior arm talent. Levis is a better player and better talent.
It's a team game. We're playing at home on a short week against a QB making his second start.
Do you think Pickett looked better than Will tonight? I don't see it at all.

Will Levis threw some of the most beautiful near INT’s I’ve ever seen.

I saw Levis accurately throw the ball down the field. I saw him identify blitzes, adjust protection and get the ball out quick for completions. I saw him get smacked around behind 4 backup o linemen but keep his eyes down field and step into throws instead of vacating clean pockets or going into the fetal position. I saw a guy with NFL arm strength who didn’t underthrown open receivers deep. And I never saw him sail a ball 4 yards over the head of a receiver 5 yards away or consistently throw balls behind his receivers.Stlcrtn1974 wrote: ↑Fri Nov 03, 2023 3:48 amDefine better.

Guess what, everybody who knows anything about football is saying the same things about Levis and Pickett. One guy has big time traits and potential that the other has never shown.

Not nearly as nice as Kenny’s under thrown deep balls or his over thrown short passes. At least he didn’t throw behind many targets tonight, so the little guy sure is improving! Maybe by age 26 he’ll put together a complete game.

Now discuss Pickens half assing it and costing Pickett a TD pass.
Bueller?

Ahh, Josh Dobbs. Here is a tale of 3 QBs. One guy is a career 3rd stringer who just got benched and traded. The next guy is being called the worst trade in NFL history. The guy below those two is being called the savior by some here.

Where the fuck did you calculate four interceptions?Stlcrtn1974 wrote: ↑Fri Nov 03, 2023 3:48 amDefine better. Levis has played 2 games.

Also two of your interceptions were late trying to score a TD against a defense that knew it was EZ or bust.
Pickett on the other hand had an amazing run offense and basically did Jack squat. Did Warren have a higher YPC compared to Pickett’s YPA?
I've been a Kenny defender but damn he missed a shit ton of easy throws tonight with no pressure in the pocket. As easy as throws get. Can't blame that on Canada.

Maybe some day when he’s a big boy he’ll actually lead a receiver instead of underthrowing them like he did to Pickens last week and did to Austin today. And maybe some day he’ll stop throwing behind guys like he did to Dionte last week.K_C_ wrote: ↑Fri Nov 03, 2023 4:04 amI loved the under thrown deep ball to Austin that hit him in both hands and his stomach.Steelperch wrote: ↑Fri Nov 03, 2023 4:00 amNot nearly as nice as Kenny’s under thrown deep balls or his over thrown short passes.

This is why this board is annoying far more than it should be
Too many fuckheads who don’t really have brains to hang at the grown folks table
Unbelievable that some here are actually saying Pickett is better than Levis at this point
Kenny is in the running for one of the worst in the last 20 years or so at this point
In his first game off the bench Levis threw 4 TDs
Even tonite in a loss his throws and reads were pretty good for a rookie QB

Guys the Steelers had a higher YPC compared to YPA. How is that even possible? Pickett is garbage.

Canada called a good game. Running game was great (Harris was average and Warren was stupendous). Offensive line blocked. No excuses this game and Pickett was god awful.
It got to the point where he was only throwing dump offs to RBs and TEs off of PA as anything down field was an adventure.

On the underthrow to Austin, the reason he dropped it is because he had to come back to it and the ILB that was basically left in no man’s land got in front of the ball at the last second.
It was underthrown.
There were worse throws/missed reads tonight than that one, but if he leads Austin even a bit there it’s an easy TD since the coverage assignment was shit (Austin our fastest WR vs Azziz Al-Shaair)

I will concede that Levis' instincts on the hot reads seem better at this point.

Henry vs Naj & Warren, who do you think?
I'd wager that both defenses came into this game looking to stop the run first and foremost, actually. Both teams had one WR they were looking to double throughout the contest and not much else to scare them.
Agreed, if things didn't turn around at the end of the third and the fourth, I was going to post as much, and add even if the ribs were the problem, then that's on KP8 for saying he was good to go. But the trend of 4th quarter play displayed again, just can't be ignored.
