Over the past five years, each season for the Pittsburgh Steelers has finished in an eerily similar fashion. They’ve all had some high moments and some low ones as well. Four of those five years have ended in an early exit in the Wild Card round. That represents the state of purgatory the franchise is currently in. That’s something Mike Tomlin, the Rooney family, and the Steelers organization are well aware of.
The quarterback position is the most important in football. It’s no coincidence that the Steelers’ lack of playoff success in recent years is partly due to their inability to find consistency at that position.
