I told my daughter - a Steeler fan - at the end of last season, that Pickett looked to me like he had a ceiling of Andy Dalton. I think Pickett will turn into a guy who you can win with but will need other positions to help carry the team. As currently built, Pickett has that so the Steelers may do better than people think with Pickett, then again, there's a reason Steeler fans have been calling for OC Canada's head for the last couple of seasons and AFAIK, he's still the OC sooooooooo ...

I hope you're right, but Lamar is also going to continue to take off and run when things aren't there and he's so freakin' good at it.
