Do the Steelers need a rookie QB or a vet for 2022? FowlerRyan1 breaks down which type of player would be best for Pittsburgh & offers a surprising solution for Mike Tomlin. FrontOffice33 | HereWeGo
For 18 seasons, it's been all about No. 7 under center. And for 18 seasons, the Pittsburgh Steelers have remained among the AFC’s elite, failing to finish below .500 since Tommy Maddox led the black and yellow nearly two decades ago. But how long is, and with Pittsburgh now on the outside looking into the conference's playoff picture as Ben Roethlisberger approaches his 40th birthday, it’s time for an overdue change under center for one of football’s most illustrious franchises.
On a roster with a mix of high-impact, youth-infused talent and headlining veterans, the play of Roethlisberger this fall just hasn’t been up to snuff, to say the least, as we approach the final two weeks of the campaign.
As we know, success for a franchise kickstarts under center. While Tomlin and Roethlisberger have had the opportunity to share a relationship and annual success similar to that of Tom Brady-Bill Belichick and Peyton Manning-Tony Dungy—two legendary tandems of the game—a lack of anything aside from one outlier game from Roethlisberger in the past month-plus to show he has any last remnants of fumes in the tank is cause for major concern.
With that being said, let’s hold the reins on shipping Heisman finalist and former Pitt Panther standout gunslinger Kenny Pickett to Tomlin’s doorstep as Pittsburgh’s next potential “big thing.” Like the aforementioned quarterbacks in Haskins and Rudolph, Pickett’s insertion into a veteran-laden Steelers roster, while it could work, doesn’t leave the aftertaste Tomlin could desire as an immediate impact talent.
