Colin Cowherd Continues Bashing Steelers QB Kenny Pickett

PITTSBURGH -- The Pittsburgh Steelers have looked great with their first-team offense on the field during the preseason, scoring three touchdowns on three drives with Kenny Pickett at quarterback.

But not everyone believes the Steelers QB is ready to succeed. FS1's Colin Cowherd hasn't held back this week, bashing Pickett not once, but twice, as he tries to get his point across that Pittsburgh isn't going to have the season many believe.

It started with Cowherd saying the Steelers couldn't get past a number of teams on their way to the Super Bowl, including the Cincinnati Bengals, Baltimore Ravens and Buffalo Bills - who they just beat in the preseason.

"Go through Burrow and Allen and Lamar and Mahomes and Russell and Payton? I’m putting him in the category of ‘could win a playoff game.’ He’s not going to Arrowhead and then Cincinnati and Buffalo and Baltimore," Cowherd said, talking about whether or not Pickett could lead the Steelers to the Super Bowl this season.

Now, he's back at it again, saying that despite the success this summer, he doesn't see "greatness" in the Steelers QB.

"It all comes down to Kenny Pickett," Cowherd said on his The Herd radio show. "I don’t see greatness. I see very good."

Cowherd said Pickett is about a year away from his "physical prime" but doesn't seem him entering the level of talent that the Steelers typically win

"I think Kenny Pickett has a chance to be a very good quarterback," Cowherd said. "Good B, B-plus guy. Maybe a little more mobile Kirk Cousins. A much more accurate throwing Dak Prescott. Somewhere in that mix."

The Steelers are going to rely heavily on Pickett this season as they look to return to the playoffs and make a run. By the end of the season, it'll be interesting to see if Cowherd is right about Pittsburgh's quarterback.
