The Pittsburgh Steelers are better than they were a season ago. At least on paper.
Russell Wilson and Justin Fields are better than any quarterbacks the Steelers put on the field in 2023. Arthur Smith’s history at offensive coordinator is enough to confidently proclaim he’ll be a massive upgrade from Matt Canada. The offensive line added two strong pillars in Zach Frazier and Troy Fautanu, and the already-fantastic defense added Patrick Queen and DeShon Elliott, as well as Payton Wilson.
Despite that, the creator of DVOA, and NFL MVP voter Aaron Schatz doesn’t foresee a memorable year for the Steelers.
