Expectations for the Pittsburgh Steelers are at a high level following the complete overhaul of the quarterback room that saw Kenny Pickett, Mason Rudolph, and Mitch Trubisky leave town while Russell Wilson and Justin Fields took their place. The Steelers finished with a 10-7 record in the 2023 season and that was with subpar quarterback play and a number of key injuries on the defensive side of the ball. It is reasonable to expect the team to show some progression with the new-look offense and renewed star power at quarterback, but just how high is the ceiling?
A panel of analysts on FS1’s SPEAK engaged in a lengthy debate on just how high the expectations should be for the team with Wilson at quarterback and whether or not they can compete for a deep playoff run in 2024.
