I don’t expect there to be many people out there who are prepared to argue that the Pittsburgh Steelers’ quarterback situation in 2022 is going to catapult them into the Super Bowl conversation. Following the retirement of Ben Roethlisberger, they’ve assembled a collective of arms that have largely received a lukewarm response—including their rookie draft pick, Kenny Pickett, the lowest a first quarterback had been taken in a draft in many years.
By and large, though, the expectation is that free agent signing Mitch Trubisky will at least open the season as the starter. Steve Palazzolo of Pro Football Focus isn’t necessarily in favor of that idea, instead believing they have to make the best decision for Pickett in the long term.
