Pittsburgh Steelers 2024 Season Outlook
It's amazing to look at how Pittsburgh is building its team. They have found talent in almost all places around the roster, improving their offense, and defense, and even without consistent quarterback play, they always managed to steal some wins inside the AFC North.
The biggest problem, of course, is that you can't win in the modern NFL without a consistent quarterback. Kenny Pickett just wasn't the answer in the end, and the team has already shipped him to Philadelphia. Russell Wilson and Justin Fields perhaps aren't superstars in 2024, but at least they should provide an upgrade – with Wilson set to be the starter for next season.
In a division that has the Baltimore Ravens, the No. 1 overall seed in the conference during 2023, plus the Cincinnati Bengals and Cleveland Browns with Joe Burrow and Deshaun Watson returning, respectively, Pittsburgh was always going to have a tough time winning, even if they had a great quarterback under center.
The key, once again, will be to steal games against their AFC North foes while they take care of other games that are supposed to be easier, but when you don't have an above-average quarterback on the roster, every game gets tougher in this league. The expectation is that Russell Wilson will at least avoid turnovers and be a good game-manager, with postseason qualification the minimum expectation.
