For reasons I can’t explain, Steelers general manager Kevin Colbert was recently on record saying that he is “comfortable” with his backup quarterbacks heading into 2020. You can check out his statement and my thoughts on his remarks in my previous article.
This may be a smokescreen by Colbert or he could actually believe this. But what happens if a quarterback falls into Pittsburgh’s lap at pick 49? Are they comfortable enough with Mason Rudolph and Devlin Hodges to pass on him?
The answer should be a resounding ‘no.’ Franchise quarterbacks don’t grow on trees, and the Steelers showed just how hard it was to win without one last season.
