Will his prediction come true?

The Pittsburgh Steelers are going to be starting the 2023 NFL season with second year quarterback Kenny Pickett as their official starter, something that took several weeks to take place last season. In 2022, it was veteran Mitchell Trubisky who earned the starter's role to begin the year over Pickett in the preseason, a decision that wasn't met with overwhelming positivity from the fans.
But now, Pickett is the main man in the Steel City, and he'll be looking to fill the giant shoes left by team legend and Hall of Famer Ben Roethlisberger who retired after the 2021 season.
And NFL analyst Colin Cowherd shared his true feelings on Pickett, saying that the Steelers appear to have the right man for the job.
“The two that I think will be successful would be [San Francisco’s] Brock Purdy and [Pittsburgh’s] Kenny Pickett. The other eight it’s a lot of finger-crossing and hoping,” Cowherd said. “But Kenny Pickett and Brock Purdy have a couple of things in common. Both got a lot of college snaps. These guys started in college for three or four years, have seen a lot of coverages, and played against a lot of pros in college. Secondly, they joined really good coaches and really good rosters, and that matters a lot. Stable ownership in San Francisco and Pittsburgh, more than capable draft in developing history. One’s a great offensive coach, Kyle Shanahan, one’s a top defensive coach and culture setter in Mike Tomlin.”
What kind of season will Pickett enjoy this year in 2023?
