It seems like the Pittsburgh Steelers have figured out their quarterback strategy.
Pittsburgh The Pittsburgh Steelers are prepared to settle if their Plan A doesn’t pan out. That’s what the most recent reports indicate, anyhow. Pittsburgh The Pittsburgh Steelers are prepared to settle if their Plan A doesn’t pan out. That’s what the most recent reports indicate, anyhow.
Mason Rudolph hopes to find somewhere and start his career as a starting quarterback outside of Pittsburgh by pursuing a “fresh start” in free agency. If that kind of chance arises, it’s difficult to hold him accountable since the Steelers still view Kenny Pickett as their “guy.”
If Rudolph does leave, reports claim the team has a backup plan in mind, and that plan is not going to push the needle or Pickett. Essentially, it hands Pickett the starting job and hopes he’s ready to take a step forward without real competition this offseason.
It’s certainly a step backward from how urgent the Steelers were at the beginning of the offseason. It almost makes a splash offensive coordinator hire and some new offensive coaches pointless, right?
