While the Cleveland Browns have struggled to win games, the Pittsburgh Steelers haven’t had a losing record since 2003 when Tommy Maddox was quarterback. That season led to the drafting of QB Ben Roethlisberger and an unprecedented run of success in a rugged AFC North.

Quarterback is such a big deal that one columnist suggested trading edge TJ Watt in order to get a quarterback in this year’s NFL draft.
