Stephen Smith: "Trubisky ain't the answer"

ESPN’s Stephen A. Smith didn’t hold back in his criticism of the Steelers on Monday’s episode of “First Take.” He called the team “nightmarish”, before labeling Trubisky as “Jameis Winston (of the) AFC”.

Ouch. …

The question for the Steelers is when do they make rookie Kenny Pickett the starting quarterback? Pickett was a first-round pick in the 2022 NFL Draft and played college football at the University of Pittsburgh. He played pretty well in the preseason, but the more experienced Trubisky was named the starter.

After two lackluster offensive performances, going with Pickett might give the Steelers a much-needed jolt of energy. This team is going nowhere with Trubisky as the starter. If the Steelers are going to have any chance of making the AFC playoffs, it will be with Pickett under center.
