In the second half of Sunday’s 17-14 loss to the Patriots, Steeler Nation was letting the coaching staff and front office know loud and clear who they wanted to see under center, and in case you missed the game, it was not Mitch Trubisky. In April’s draft, the Steelers made local hero and Heisman Trophy Finalist Kenny Pickett the only quarterback drafted in the first round, and despite vows to bring him along slowly, he ascended from third-string to the direct backup to Trubisky after an impressive preseason.
Trubisky’s ineptitude in leading the offense through the first two weeks is less than inspiring, and is a major reason why he was ousted in Chicago.
