WR 2 Summer 2.0
On this episode of Steelers Central, the second season of sizzling WR rumors is upon us. Who is the hot name right now that the Steelers are onto? What teams should Pittsburgh look at when acquiring a wide receiver? All those answers are in this episode of Steelers Central!
Next, we play a game of Would You Rather with the current QBs on the Steelers roster. I explain why the Steelers should be in no rush to get Will Howard on the field and why it would be wise to roll with Mason Rudolph to start the season. This team should not act as a contender as they are not one presently constructed. Take this year as a development year with your offensive line and weapons, and see what you have going forward, including getting Will Howard some snaps when ready. This team should not panic if they are bad, take the record, and get a good draft pick to find your next signal caller.
The big X-factor for this team is that they have invested more of their resources in the offensive line. The team's success will depend on how this unit develops in year two under Arthur Smith’s offense. This unit needs to show growth and explain why they drafted some players, i.e., Broderick Jones and Troy Fautanu, as high as they did. If this unit does not progress as well as it should, the Steelers will have set themselves back, and their first-round picks will have been for nothing.
Lastly, speaking of Arthur Smith, I will advocate for the second-year offensive coordinator because the team has not done much to allow for much success. They gave him two new QB rooms in his first two years. They will likely be drafting a new quarterback next year, and they have not listened to him time and time again about which quarterback he prefers, either by subbing Russell Wilson in or keeping him in while he has struggled. The team also let Justin Fields walk when Smith advocated for keeping him because of the improvement he had under Smith. Why the lack of success under Smith is more of a reflection on the team than it is on him.
