Is he perfect? No. But the second-year signal caller has that 'it' factor — the bigger the situation, the better he performs.
PITTSBURGH — I get it. Take away a couple of two-minute drives last season, and quite possibly two throws this year, and has been nothing more than an average-to-below-average quarterback. It’s hard to argue that. Pickett has yet to put together a full game where you can say with confidence that he not only should’ve been the 20th overall pick in last year’s draft but will be a championship-caliber quarterback at some point in his career.
Forty yards would have at least given a chance at the game-winning field goal, but 40 yards with this offense lately isn’t a slam dunk. Up until that point, only 24 percent of the Steelers’ drives this year had gone for at least 40 yards. “We were put in the situation at the end of the game where we just needed to go out there and make plays,” receiver said. “We can march down the field. As a group, we kind of understand what kind of plays we are capable of making.
