Welcome to the terrible take, a daily segment telling Steeler Nation what's on our minds.

I'm Melanie Friedlander.

Steeler's Twitter can be a hot mess sometimes, but it also inspires some interesting conversations.

In a discussion of quarterbacks that would be an upgrade over Kenny Pickett,

seven current NFL quarterbacks were suggested.

One response that got a lot of appreciation said that Josh Allen and Joe Borough are honestly just products of their systems and they don't do anything Kenny can't do.

Obviously he was just trolling and a lot of Steelers fans appreciated his sarcasm.

But it raises an interesting point because there is

something crucial to their NFL success that both Allen and Borough do and Pickett

is likely to do as well. And that's improved with time and experience.

You don't need stats to tell you that the Bills and Bengals quarterbacks have improved since they first came into the league.

Just pull up a game from their first full season and then watch the Divisional round shootout between the Bills and the Chiefs last year,

or the Bengals win over the Chiefs a couple of weeks ago.

But I'll throw some numbers your way anyway, just for fun.

As a rookie, Joe Burrow only played in 10 games before his season ended with a torn

aCL. In those games, he completed 264 passes of 404 attempts.

While his That keeps an offense moving. In his rookie season, Josh Allen logged an adjusted net yard per attempt of 4.37.

In his fifth year, he's at just over 7.

Another area where Allen has shown improvement is his percentage of bad throws or passes that his receiver is unlikely to catch.

That number has dropped from 25.7% of bad throws as a rookie, all the way down to 13.6% this year.

So what about Kenny Pickett?

He averages 4.26 adjusted net yards per attempt as a rookie.
