As if there were any doubt, the Pittsburgh Steelers and head coach Mike Tomlin confirmed yesterday that rookie Kenny Pickett would be their starting quarterback for the foreseeable future, making the change initially at halftime during Sunday’s game.
“When we make decisions, we don’t anticipate blowing in the wind”, Tomlin told reporters yesterday during his pre-game press conference when asked if there had to be a steadfast decision when it comes to installing a first-round pick into the quarterback position, via the team’s website. But just because he’s the new golden boy doesn’t mean he’ll get special treatment.
