Jason La Canfora Believes Mitch Trubisky Should Be Week 1 Starter To Work Kinks Out Of Offense

With the debate regarding who should or will be the starting quarterback for the Pittsburgh Steelers when the black and gold open up the 2022 regular season on the road at the Cincinnati Bengals Sept. 11 raging on, CBS Sports’ Jason La Canfora — appearing on 93.7 The Fan’s Morning Show with Colin Dunlap, Shelby Cassesse and Chris Mack — added his take to the mix.

According to La Canfora, the Steelers should avoid throwing prized first-round rookie quarterback Kenny Pickett into the fire early in the season, instead going with veteran free agent signee Mitch Trubisky early in the season to work out some kinks in the Steelers’ offense under second-year offensive coordinator Matt Canada.
