Ego vs ego. Leaders have to know what to do in that moment.
I am sure Jerry Kill has his set of regrets.

For a young person, some of the life lessons are regrettable if we look back. You don't always get a second chance at redemption. If you do, you hang on tight and don't screw up.

You have to admire Mitch Leidner. He was much maligned for his poor passing skills. He sucked it all up for the good of the team. He made the best of it. I don't recall him ever whining.

Not sure if you're implying Kill should have let Nelson start, but if he had, he would have basically given up control of the team. You don't let players make ultimatums like that.

He ran it cuz he didn’t have a capable qb not the other way around. The best part is he had the players to be better but his stubbornness on his Leidner over Nelson decision doomed him. It is delicious.
Um, no, and you basically contradict youself in the post. Have you looked at NIU and NM State's offensive stats with him as HC? Sure looks a lot like the offense he ran here.

NFL today approved 3rd “emergency” QB suiting up for games. That gives 32 guys a lifeline.
Yeah, this is huge for fringe guys like Morgan. Another opportunity to potentially catch on with someone and get paid very well not to get hit. :)

It doesn’t affect him too much from a sticking around in the league standpoint. The change is actually kind of minor. An NFL roster has 53 players, but only 46 can be active on gameday (7 are on the team but inactive each game). The rule change allows QB3 to be one of the 7 inactive players but to enter the game if the other two QBs are injured in the game.

Teams are still likely to have 3 QBs. The difference is that QB3 might be on the 53 man roster instead of on the practice squad. So he might get a bigger paycheck, but the number of QBs overall is unlikely to change.

Okay. Kinda minor. It gives a QB a 33% chance of playing, vs 0%.

Both before and after the change, the Steelers’ organization was likely going to have 3 QBs.

Plus I don't think @highwayman 's use of statistics is correct. Just because you are one of three QBs on the roster, doesn't mean you have a 33% chance of playing. It's not like the coach is pulling numbers out of a hat.

For any QB3 to benefit from this, both starting QBs would have to be injured in the same game. If just one QB got hurt, QB3 would be elevated to QB2 before the next game anyways.

Thanks @matt for the clarifications.

The chances of a QB3 playing is pretty small for most teams. I could see a guy like Morgan being an asset as guy that's just like another coach. He seems destined to be a coach after his playing days. That may not be Pittsburgh but could see that happening somewhere else where they have an established QB1.

Not much been reported on TM

Saw this clip on Twitter thought it was cool to see

TM going through the bodily motions of dropping back on a pass play mimicking KP. Kid is trying.

That's Kenny Pickett throwing the ball. Morgan is listed on the Pittsburgh roster as #5. Mason Rudolph is #2.
