To the public, the Pittsburgh Steelers have projected nothing but confidence in their quarterbacks. Ben Roethlisberger will fully recover. Mason Rudolph is still the future. Look! There’s Paxton Lynch. Remember him?
And maybe that’s how they really feel. We may disagree with their assessment – I have the same confidence in Rudolph as “kid who forgot there was a test today” – but perhaps Kevin Colbert and company are being honest.
But even if they aren’t quite that confident and in a perfect world, would love to upgrade, they don’t have much of a chance to shake up the QB room.
