Several reports indicate that, beyond the ankle injury forcing the Steelers to start Mitchell Trubisky over Kenny Pickett, KP’s position was already in question by the Pittsburgh staff, who, like All of us, from the stands or on our couches, have seen how the internal product that meant selecting Pickett with a first-round pick has failed miserably.
Is it because of Pickett’s talent? Or did the Steelers just put him between a rock and a hard place? It seems to be a bit of both, considering that the system is deficient, but we have seen how week after week the young quarterback was unable to make plays to move the chains. Even when it is seen that the QB cannot naturally make big plays, we look for him to become a game-manager for the offenses, someone who does not lose the game and who knows how to take advantage of the availability of weapons. No, the Steelers’ offensive trench play didn’t allow for that, but Pickett clearly didn’t do himself any favors with the way he’s performed on the field for the Steelers.
The solution to a quarterback problem is very complex, but regardless of the approach the Steelers want to take next season (keeping Pickett, signing a free agent or targeting the Draft), the OL must be improved. Any change that Pittsburgh wants to make in its 2024 version requires giving more time to new faces on the field of play leading the offense and no one, except Broderick Jones, a first-round pick who is beginning to establish himself, should be guaranteed playing time. game.
Is it also a change of era for the Steelers?
