The Pittsburgh Steelers have to decide now. The once-promising partnership between Russell Wilson and the Denver Broncos appears headed for a messy divorce. Also, Justin Fields might be traded from the Chicago Bears. Even though the Steelers had these two stunning options, they’ve made a slightly different decision.

As the offseason unfolds, pundits have been analyzing the Steelers’ decisions. Even so, the question remains: who will they choose?

Steelers wrestle with QB conundrum

The Steelers are making tough decisions right now. The winds of discontent are swirling in Pittsburgh. Gone are the days of Ben Roethlisberger’s gunslinging heroics. Analyst Warren Sharp pointed out on X, “The fewest passing TDs of any team in the NFL.”

The solution, according to reports, isn’t a splashy veteran acquisition. Instead, the team is “debating if their 2018 3rd round draft pick” — Kenny Pickett — “should be QB1.” Sharp’s response? “This franchise has become unserious.” It’s a sentiment echoed by many fans as the lack of postseason success since 2016’s Super Bowl run frustrates them. Sharp added, “Playoff wins in 12 yrs from 2005-2016? 12 (+ 2 Super Bowls).” He also added, “Playoff wins last 7 years, since 2017? zero.”

But the internal debate continues to rage on. ProFootballTalk reported “apparent internal division” over whether Pickett or Mason Rudolph gets the spot. The decision will define the Steelers’ 2024. Now, why aren’t they choosing Russell Wilson or Justin Fields?

What’s next at quarterback?

Despite internal discussions about Kenny Pickett’s starting role, reports suggest the Steelers are hesitant to pursue veterans demanding the top spot. This effectively eliminates options like Justin Fields and Russell Wilson, leaving fans with a less-than-ideal outlook. Now, to discuss their options, Pickett’s rookie season statistics are far from confidence-inspiring.

His touchdown-to-interception ratio ranks among the league’s worst (13-13), and his yards per attempt and points per game are low in the standings. Even more concerning, his passing touchdown rate dips below 2%, a dubious Super Bowl-era record. These troubling statistics raise questions about Pickett’s potential and leave the Steelers in a bind.

Will they commit to giving Pickett another chance or change their decision? Time will answer that. What do you think about this? Let us know below.
