Nobody in their right minds should be selling the Pittsburgh Steelers’ signing of veteran free agent quarterback Mitch Trubisky as a move in which the Steelers found their next franchise quarterback.
Instead, it should be viewed for what it is overall: a buy-low move on a quarterback with starting experience and pedigree, one that fits into offensive coordinator Matt Canada’s scheme and gives the Steelers a chance to at least get by at the position for a year while continuing the search for a franchise quarterback through the draft.
So, it was puzzling to see respected NFL Analyst and former NFL defensive back Matt Bowen call the Steelers’ signing of Trubisky his “most head-scratching” move of the offseason for an ESPN roundtable on free agency, highlighting the most improved teams and best and worst signings overall.
