Mike Tomlin has a pretty basic answer to what many feel is a complicated question. The Steelers coach’s answer was in regard to Kenny Pickett and whether he needs to see more from his young quarterback moving forward.
Pickett’s play has generated a lot of buzz. While his numbers are relatively mediocre, Pickett continues to win more games than he loses. That, according to Tomlin, is how Pickett and all other quarterbacks should ultimately be measured.
“Man, we’re going to need more, particularly as this road narrows,” Tomlin said of Pickett, who has won 11 of his last 15 starts (not including Pittsburgh’s loss to Baltimore last year when Pickett left the game after getting injured on the Steelers’ first possession). “But guys like Kenny and myself, we’re measured by wins and losses. He and I talk about that often and openly. We know what our jobs are, our jobs are to win, and so that’s where we are. That’s where our focus is.
“I love the fact that he embraces that,” Tomlin continued. “Down in and down out, are there some things to work on? Certainly. But it’s not like we start on Wednesday, working on those things. We’ve been working on those things and we will continue until we get that desired result.”
