No one outside of the steelers’ inner circle has any idea what the team intends to accomplish with the quarterback position in 2024. All indications point to pickett getting one last chance to prove that he is the future for the franchise at the moment, but rudolph’s solid play at the end of the 2023 campaign has made many fans believe that a breakthrough must be made without pickett getting a fair shake alongside a play-caller not named matt canada. Since losing to the bills in the wild card round, rumors have erupted. The steelers are hoping to re-sign rudolph before the start of free agency in march.
Mitchell trubisky will not be included in the 2024 plans, which gives the organization the flexibility to forego a potential signing of rudolph in order to bring in a qualified starter. Fields has a ton name, as has super bowl-winning signal-caller russell wilson. Wilson’s potential landing spots were discussed on monday in get up, an espn show. Bart scott, a retired nfl linebacker who has never seemed to be a fan of pittsburgh, made a bold claim that wilson will only succeed at the professional level if he finds his way to the steel city. “they’re a young team,” he said. We talk about arthur smith being able to run the ball and devise a great running game… I think that’s the only chance for him,” scott said.
In terms of loyalty and consistency, pittsburgh has rarely shied away from its roots. For a franchise that isn’t well known for such a move, bringing in a high-profile name like wilson would certainly be a big splash. Wilson has been outstanding under center all his career, especially when it comes to play-action. Smith loved to do it when he was with the tennessee titans. Scott emphasized the steelers’ need for quarterback play that is effective enough to get them into the playoff chase. It isn’t about finding a superstar in 2024, though. In 2023, pittsburgh hired three different signal-callers and still has a way to reach the playoffs.
Scott stressed the need for a guy who can get the job done and be a star in the playoffs. “pittsburgh only needs competent play,” says the author. With what they had in 2023, they were still in the playoffs.”
