New Stat Shows Steelers’ QB Accuracy Upgrade With Move From Kenny Pickett To Russell Wilson

The 2023 version of the Pittsburgh Steelers’ offense was painful to watch. There were many factors that fed into the subpar product that was put out on the field, but among those was the performance of QB Kenny Pickett in his second season. His completion percentage dropped from Year 1 to Year 2, bottoming out at 62 percent last year. And he regressed in both his passing yards and touchdowns with 2,070 and six respectively. Regardless of the offensive coordinator issues or the offensive line getting off to a slow start, it was nowhere near good enough for the Steelers to run it back for a third season with him as the starting quarterback.
