Lost amid all of the clamoring by some small segment of Pittsburgh Steelers fans for the team to go out and get a veteran quarterback is the fact that the Steelers already have…somewhat of a veteran quarterback who was on their 53-man roster last year.
Although his actual in-game experience and performance wouldn’t exactly suggest as much, that would be Paxton Lynch, who has already been around the league for four years, as a 2016 first-round draft pick by the Denver Broncos.
Denver dumped him after two seasons, however, opting to experiment with an undrafted rookie in Trevor Siemien, for example, and Lynch has been kicked around to a number of teams since then.
