Antonio Brown Chimes in on Steelers’ Quarterback Situation
In the time since the Pittsburgh Steelers, there have been a wide range of opinions shared about the team’s quarterback situation.
Four different QBs have been brought up by different analysts as the potential answer at the position.
Mike Tomlin asserted that the group’s QB is as of now on the list during his question and answer session toward the finish of the time.
Diontae Johnson tossed help behind bringing Bricklayer Rudolph back.
Presently disputable previous Steelers collector Antonio Brown has offered his viewpoint in his old group’s quarterback circumstance.
Brown welcomed Twitter clients to”Ask Stomach muscle.” One client asked him who his QB would be and the number of targets per game George Pickens would get assuming that he was the hostile facilitator for the Steelers.
Brown picked Rudolph and said he’d have his QB tossing to Pickens somewhere multiple times per game.
Even though Rudolph had a good final game of the 2023 regular season, the Steelers might have trouble making him the starting quarterback next season.
The Problem the Steelers Face When they decided to keep Rudolph as their quarterback until the end of the 2023 season, the Steelers had an easy way to show that it didn’t mean they had given up on Kenny Pickett.
They were simply staying with the hot hand.
In the event that the Steelers were to re-sign Rudolph and make him the starter for Week 1 of the 2024 season, they would concede rout on their interest in Pickett.
That would be difficult to swallow just two seasons after the team selected the struggling quarterback with the 20th overall pick.
It would likewise be a move with restricted potential gain.
Indeed, Rudolph dominated the last three matches of the ordinary season to make the end of the season games, however the group was at that point probably on target to make the end of the season games before Pickett was harmed.
He posted a 7-5 record as the starter before his physical issue opened the entryway for Rudolph.
10-7 with a season finisher exit in the primary round wasn’t exactly an improvement over the thing the group was getting from Pickett.
With Rudolph, that’s probably also their limit.
Assuming the group chose to take action for a veteran that they felt could lead them on a season finisher run, then, at that point, abandoning Pickett may be something the front office and fans can live with.
One more season with nine or ten successes and an early season finisher exit simply doesn’t seem sufficiently like.
If that or offering Pickett another chance to demonstrate he can lead the group are the choices, trusting Pickett either succeeds or does gravely to the point of getting the Positioned up to draft his substitution feels like the better decision.
Getting Pickens More Included
One thing that Brown got right, is that the Steelers need to get Pickens involved all the more as often as possible.
Although four targets per quarter is excessive, he absolutely requires more ball contact.
Throughout the span of the 2023 season, Pickens was designated only multiple times in 17 games. That is a little more than six targets for each game and is incredibly low for a player that wound up with 1140 yards for the year.
It’s an issue with the Steelers’ plan in excess of an issue with the group’s QB play. The Planes’ QBs were terrible in 2023. Garrett Wilson was as yet designated multiple times.
Arthur Smith’s misusing of his weapons while playing for the Falcons was the subject of incessant criticism from fans. Drake London actually got 110 focuses from a couple of frustrating QBs in 16 games.
Pickens clarified that he can be a bonafide WR1 during the 2023 season.
Whoever winds up as the Steelers’ next hostile facilitator, they need to utilize Pickens like he is a first class choice in 2024 in the event that their offense will move along.
