I don't want to fall into the normal Brady is done trap but I'm starting to believe that!

 

I’ll believe that when the fat lady warbles.  He’s got too long of a history turning trash into treasure.  I don’t want to see that, mind

[JMM]

I haven't seen a Steelers D look this bad since....um....TWO WEEKS AGO?

I know Tua takes a lot of crap on this board, but he passes the "with or without you" test - the Dolphins' offense is clearly much, much better overall with him at QB.

No doubt. He’s a great fit for that offense, with those receivers. He gets the ball out quick, and is not relied upon to do anything extraordinary. He just needs to deliver strikes. He’s pretty good at that.  Tua makes the team better… but he’s not really the scary one. The WRs are.

What an upgrade at corner our two rookies represent compared to Wallace.

Miami’s team speed is tremendous, and i’m not just talking about the WR’s.  very impressive.

I think McDaniel and Tua are a great fit as a QB/Coach combo. The coach knows exactly how to play to his QB’s strengths. Tua is in the perfect offense for his abilities. The hospital ball to Mostert and the last throw to Hill demonstrate he doesn’t have elite arm talent imo, but the scheme is great for him.

Isn't that the case with pretty much every starting QB?

Isn't the Tea narrative that his ball placement and accuracy are what set him apart?

 

These throws he's made so far have not been placed well at all.  

He gets a lot of wide open looks. There’s a very small part of the field that he is accurate in.

I don’t know if Tomlin has the patience for a young QB. He’s used to winning. I wouldn’t be shocked if Trubisky is heard from again this season. The Steelers are trash regardless, but I’m curious to see how Tomlin handles Pickett. 

I dont think Tomlin wanted to bench Trubisky. I heard that Trubisky got into a argument with Diontae Johnson about the WR wanting more targets. At that point Tomlin made the decision to bench Trubisky. I not sure how much that argument played into Trubisky getting benched if at all but I do know that Trubisky got benched after said argument.

Pickett won’t last in the NFL. He’s a backup at best.

Wish they'd let him throw a little more.

Claypool isn't good. Too. inconsistent

 

He's just not dedicated to his craft. Doesn't put in the work. Anti-process.

I like the idea of the soft rush in the rematch, get in his throwing lanes and don't let him see, bat balls, force him to elevate the ball to get passes over Groot and the other trees like J Phillips and Daquon. Should be fun fun fun for the zone DBs.

Exactly, I just posted the same thing while you shared your thoughts. Nothing about Tua is great, you see it in some of these poor throws, but he knows how to execute this offense. 

[HappyDays]

The Steelers offense seems designed to get no more than 5 yards at a time. There's no creativity.

[Dablitzkrieg]

Matt Canada is not helping with his Dick Jauron "run, run, pass" calls

[Over 29 years of fanhood]

Woah a ton of Steelers fans there. Could here it when Penn state kids made a catch

No. He’s done.

It’s amazing that the people who typically discover this last is the team themselves. 

[PetermansRedemption]

Pitt really doesn’t trust Pickett to throw much

Someone pass a note along to Flores (through his lawyer?) that the Dolphins don't attack outside the numbers except with screens and quick hitters. Everything goes 5-15 yards over the middle.

 

True.  Pitts aint much better.  Run, Run, 3rd and short 20 yard disaster pass.
