I felt the same for Mitch. I was hoping like hell he’d show up in Pittsburgh and light it up. I knew he wasn’t good, but I just had hope that eventually he would figure it out.

The fact of the matter is that we are no longer in the age of “developing qbs”. Everyone wants to strike gold on the next nfl ready superstar qb. The packers tried it with love, but otherwise there is no longer patience to wait for a qb to develop.

You’re not wrong. Football is…and isn’t a deep stat sport. If we played 162 football games a year deep stats would matter more. Baseball players can slump for 3 straight weeks worth of games before snapping out of it and being major contributors to their teams. A football player slumps for 18-21 games and they might be out of the league.

It amazes me that our organization think somehow velus will come around at his age and shown zero upside since coming into the league.
