The Pittsburgh Steelers quarterback is climbing quickly on the list of favorites to loss his job.
PITTSBURGH — The Pittsburgh Steelers have publicly expressed their support for offensive coordinator Matt Canada and quarterback Kenny Pickett despite their team’s recent offensive woes. But the chances of Pickett keeping his job this season are rapidly fading.
.
A new set of odds from BetOnline.ag indicates which quarterbacks in the league are most likely to be benched this season.
Pittsburgh’s QB, Pickett, is currently fourth on the list with 10/1 odds.
.
Only Desmond Ridder of the Atlanta Falcons (3/2), Sam Howell of the Washington Commanders (2/1) and Mac Jones of the New England Patriots (5/1) are ahead of Pickett.
Russell Wilson, the quarterback for the Denver Broncos, and he both have 10/1 odds.
.
When compared to other starting quarterbacks, Pickett has the sixth-worst passer rating and completion percentage going into Week 5.
Through four games, the offense has only scored 20 points or more once, and in one of their two victories, their defense outscored them.
.
Mitch Trubisky and Mason Rudolph, two former starters for the Steelers, are on the team’s roster.
Before being benched during Week 4 of the previous season, Trubisky was initially brought in to be the starter.

Matt Canada, the Steelers’ offensive coordinator, could be fired if the team keeps having trouble this year, according to Ian Rapoport of NFL Network.
Multiple changes might be an option if the band is unable to find its groove.
