Analyst Claims Steelers Signed Russell Wilson Because They Were In ‘Crisis Mode’ At Quarterback

The Pittsburgh Steelers haven’t had a positive contribution from their quarterback since Ben Roethlisberger retired, and even then, the last few years of his career were shaky at times. Kenny Pickett, Mitch Trubisky, and Mason Rudolph all showed flashes of talent, but all three ultimately ended up hurting the Steelers more than they helped. Now, the fate of the franchise this year rests on Russell Wilson’s shoulders. Wilson won a Super Bowl before but has not looked like himself recently, which is why the Steelers were able to sign him for almost nothing. Still, he’s mostly looked at as an upgrade to what the Steelers had before, but one analyst believes he still doesn’t make the Steelers good enough to compete for a Super Bowl.
