One of the biggest roster decisions that the Pittsburgh Steelers had to make this year was over who was going to be their number two quarterback. After drafting a player at the position in the third round—the highest they had drafted a quarterback since taking Ben Roethlisberger 11th overall in 2004—they had three options at their disposal.
Landry Jones was the veteran who knew the offense like the back of his hand and had stepped in and played well a few times. Joshua Dobbs was added in the fourth-round a year ago.
