Pittsburgh has struggled to find offensive consistency for years, but the additions of Russell Wilson and Justin Fields could provide a rugged defense with enough help to compete in a loaded AFC North.
The Pittsburgh Steelers quickly learned last season that it wasn’t wise to hand Kenny Pickett the starting job without competition in training camp.
But it’s unknown whether the team views Fields as a true competitor to Wilson or he’s penciled in as the backup, because they traded Pickett to the Philadelphia Eagles afterRegardless of the situation, the Steelers improved their quarterback options, and that could be enough for them to return to the postseason and assist their dominant defense, which features T.J. Watt, Alex Highsmith, Cameron Heyward and Minkah Fitzpatrick.
Overall, the Steelers executed one of the best offseason plans in recent memory for adding quality quarterbacks without using a first-round pick. It might be a temporary fix, but there’s some upside with Fields, who showed flashes of being a franchise quarterback with the Bears. The Steelers, however, appear to have favored Wilson’s experience and ability to run an efficient offense, and that’s understandable after the roller coaster experience with Pickett.
