It doesn’t look like Pittsburgh Steelers QB Kenny Pickett will become the next elite-level quarterback. That alone makes it tough to win a Super Bowl. The alternative path is building a great roster in the hopes Pickett becomes a good quarterback as opposed to the great quarterback/good roster approach other teams can take.
In essence, the Steelers are taking a stroll down Brock Purdy Lane. To Rich Eisen, that’s the team’s calculation of why they’d roll into 2024 potentially with a similar quarterback room as they did in 2023, one consisting of Pickett and Mason Rudolph, who the team hopes to re-sign.
