Have we really improved at QB? I would take Mason over Wilson - less turnovers, better pocket presence, smarter quarterback. While neither Fields or Pickett have dazzled, the results of games show that Kenny is clearly better. So how have we improved?

I wonder if Justin Fields and his advisors realized what Kenny Pickett and his did not: Geno Smith did pretty well for watching Russ cook for a couple seasons. Will KP ever see a snap again? Happy Masters Week from Georgia!

Good morning, Gerry. Who do you have for the Master's, and who would you like to don the green jacket?

Gerry, is there anything worse than all the golf holes in western PA that send you down a large hill off the tee, then send you back up a large hill to the flag? I realize we have hilly terrain, but come in, such holes are the worst....

So far the only thing that Fields has shown he can do in the NFL is run fast. That was the same with Devin Bush, Artie Burns, and Jarvis Jones. Does Tomlin have a blind spot for players that run fast? Does he need to realize speed is one thing, but understanding how to play in the NFL is more important?

Gerry, do the Oakmont members truly enjoy having their course ready to host the US Open on any given day? I've got to believe that there are plenty of hack members who have to pick up after registering a snowman and not yet reaching the green....

Does Tomlin need a better defensive coaching staff? The current group seems to get blown out in playoff games. In addition the player development and drafting has been suspect. From 2013 to 2019, every 1st round pick was on defense (7 players) and only Watt has gotten a 2nd contract. Few mid round picks seem to develop. 6 of 11 defensive starters are either free agents or from trades despite all that investment of draft capital (which has also diluted the offense by not working out and then needing more draft and salary cap investment).

Gerry when Tomlin talks about being "excited about being uncomfortable" (a reference to changes at OC and on the roster) is he acknowledging (consciously or not) that he's been in something of a 'comfort zone' (with personnel he's familiar with) these past few years. I refer especially to Matt Canada, who you pretty well put up a bat signal to get rid of 12 months ago. Was he too 'comfortable' to see the obvious?

Hi Gerry, I believe the Steelers are better off having moved on from Pickett. With that said, I think he will get some starts with the Eagles because of backing up a running quarterback. What say you?

If this is Cam's last year, what type of year do you think he needs to have to make the Hall of Fame - or do you think he already has the resume to make it? I'd love to see him enshrined

Trying to figure how they can not reach for a center in round 1, but still get one in round 2. A trade up is speculated in 2, but could they trade back in 1 to get a 2 or does the chart usually say they'd get a 3 in return for that? Lots of numbers, Gerry, so 10-4, I'm out.

Hi, Gerry. Do you think the team has someone in mind BESIDES Cole or Herbig to backfill the center position before the draft just in case? Perhaps a potential trade or an under-the-radar free agent if there is such a thing?

Hi Gerry, and Good Morning. I blame the Pirates manager for putting Bednar in this very close game when Bednar didn't have a "normal" Spring training season.

Hi Gerry, If these guys who are drafted are professionals, why is player development a question? You can play, or you can't, correct?

It is now being said that the DL depth in this draft is better than was originally foreseen. What player/players do you see as the more obvious fits to draft to get this DL younger and more talented?

Hi Gerry - thanks for doing the chats. What do you see as the greatest similiarity and greatest difference between Dan Rooney and Art II in terms of how they run the team?

Why does Mr. LA think that Pickett was/is any good. He threw 6 freakin TDs!. Ben that in one game, twice!?? Pickett is a career backup and journey man. I wish him the best of luck, but it was never going to happen for him. Never saw him "flash". Question for you Jerry. Who's the ideal starter for us by season end? Russell (now) or Justin (future)?
