If Russell Wilson or Justin Fields start off the 2024 season, the Pittsburgh Steelers will have done something they haven’t accomplished in nearly 40 years. “Accomplish” probably isn’t the right term for it. This is a feat teams don’t exactly tout. But it will make the first time since 1982-1985 the team has had a different starting Week 1 quarterback four years running.
This time around, it’s guaranteed to happen. Pittsburgh turned over their entire quarterback room this offseason, a group now consisting of Wilson, Fields, Kyle Allen, and rookie John Rhys Plumlee. Ben Roethlisberger ended his Hall of Fame run in 2021, hanging up his cleats after the season.
