The more things change, the more they stay the same. That’s been the Pittsburgh Steelers’ track the last several years. Good enough to be in the playoff hunt. Not talented enough to get over the hump. Pittsburgh has been in the Wild Card mix for years and no matter what change has been made – quarterback, coordinator, or large swaths of the roster – the results have remarkably stayed the same. Football purgatory. The idea that the Steelers are stuck in a weird in-between, unable to find a way out.
But is it true like the analysts claim?
