Mike Florio Believes Kenny Pickett Is More Exciting Quarterback Option Than Mitch Trubisky

On PFT Live earlier today, Mike Florio and Chris Simms broke down the Pittsburgh Steelers starting quarterback battle between Mitch Trubisky and Kenny Pickett.

After Simms said he would start Trubisky for the first few weeks and re-evaluate due to how poor Pittsburgh’s offensive line is and their schedule to open the season, Florio countered with the idea that starting Pickett would bring a lot more excitement in Pittsburgh.

“They need excitement. And Kenny Pickett’s gonna excite, more than Trubisky. Now, winning is the ultimate source of excitement,” Florio said. “It’s only going to get worse on Trubisky if he’s the starter and he struggles.
