Perhaps it’s too early for this article (I know I’m nowhere near done thinking/talking about this past season). But I’m also thinking a lot about next year too. And it’s no secret: the biggest offseason question for the Pittsburgh Steelers is who will be the 2022 starting quarterback. The inimitable Ben Roethlisberger has hung up the cleats, and there’s not a clear-cut successor on the roster, or a slam-dunk choice in the draft.
Mike Tomlin has said more than once that he’d like to have a veteran take over. And I’m inclined to agree. The defense is arguably still a first rate unit (reinsert Stephon Tuitt and I expect their season performance would look wildly different), while the offense is talented but very young.
