A first rnd QB is such a risk. If you miss you wasted 3 years, often multiple picks, and you still suck.

LOL. The NY Jets know!

I think one of the last guys in the league I would want mentoring a young QB is Russell Wilson.

Fields is not a rookie; he has played 40 games in NFL, started 38. Are you telling me now he needs to sit behind a vet and learn?

He needs to play. And his 5th year option decision is coming up.

apparently why Picket wanted out of Pitt is because he was told the starting job was Wilson's "period". It sounds like pitt promised the starting job to him to me.

apparently why Pickett wanted out of Pitt is because he was told the starting job was Wilson's "period". It sounds like pitt promised the starting job to him to me.

There are a lot of stories behind it. There is a strong local media group having inside scoop, all the way to last year Seattle game that allegedly Pickett refused to suit up as backup to Rudolph, to the next game they listed him as the starting QB to appease him, even though they knew Rudolph was to start all week. And of course, Pickett's camp quietly asked for a trade after they signed Wilson.

Steelers did him a favor trading him to his childhood team when he grew up. He's a Jersey boy.

Personally I think once you are benched, healthy, you are done as a star QB in NFL. Which star QB in NFL had been benched and came back being a star in the league for long time? Pickett knew this. Better to go elsewhere to be a backup.
