There are several reasons to be critical of the Pittsburgh Steelers over the last six or seven years, but one of the undeniable common denominators has been poor quarterback play. They’ve had late-career, post-injury Ben Roethlisberger, Mitch Trubisky, Kenny Pickett, Mason Rudolph, Justin Fields and Russell Wilson.
Aside from Kenny Pickett, who they drafted in the first round, they have taken a lot of half measures to address the most important position in sports. Marcus Spears wants that to change.
“Rip the damn bandaid off. Take one of these kids as a quarterback. If they don’t turn out, then be in the draft again in two years for a quarterback,” Spears said via ESPN’s NFL Live.
