The Pittsburgh Steelers will have many hands in their quarterback decisions after hiring Tom Arth and retaining Mike Sullivan.

00:00 At the same time, what do you think of Mike Sullivan? He retains as quarterbacks coach.

00:03 I mean, those two almost go hand in hand, quarterbacks coach and passing game coordinators,

00:08 typically the same job or at least, you know, share the same duties. I mean, they're keeping

00:15 them. Do you think that, I don't know, how do you see that dynamic working, I guess,

00:19 would be the question. Well, it's just a lot of voices, right? In Kenny Pickett's ear and whoever

00:24 else joins his quarterback room in their ears. And it's a lot of opinions, I think,

00:31 as you kind of make a quarterback evaluation moving forward, you know, like it's a lot of

00:36 perspectives to consider when you're talking about, as we move through the season, okay,

00:41 is Kenny going to be, is Kenny our guy? Is he performing up to our standards? Is he progressing

00:45 in the ways that we want? And then it's also, I mean, in quarterback evaluation, this off season

00:50 too, like, I think it's pretty clear that they are, they're taking one last shot with Kenny.

00:55 But, you know, who do you bring in? What kind of goals do you have for, for what this next,

01:01 or for what your backup plan for, for Kenny is, is an experienced veteran? Is it a guy that you

01:06 draft? Is it a Kirk Cousins or Russell Wilson versus a Jacoby Breset? So I think there's just

01:12 going to be a lot of opinions and it's going to be a lot of, there are going to be a lot of voices

01:17 going around and someone's going to have to be able to kind of put their foot down and say,

01:21 at the end of the day, no, this is, this is the direction we're going. Luckily,

01:25 you have a guy like Mike Tomlin in there who has as strong a personality as anyone in the

01:30 national football league. So I don't think it'll be tough for him to make a final decision,

01:33 but he's just going to have a lot of information to digest.
