James Jones Doesn’t Think Kenny Pickett Is A Starting QB But Likes The Trade For Him

Yesterday, the Pittsburgh Steelers traded QB Kenny Pickett to the Philadelphia Eagles. Pickett was supposed to replace future Hall of Fame QB Ben Roethlisberger and usher in a new era of Steelers football but that very clearly did not happen. The Pickett era was not very successful and general manager Omar Khan pulled the plug on it before the Steelers ended up in a Daniel Jones and the New York Giants situation.

Pickett did show flashes at times, but never enough to be a consistently good starter. But there is talent there, and former NFL wide receiver James Jones said he thinks Pickett sitting behind a talented veteran quarterback in Jalen Hurts will be good for him, but he is not capable of being a starting quarterback in the NFL.
