The quarterback room for the Steelers hasn’t been the best the last few seasons and it doesn’t seem to be getting any better anytime soon.
The day 1 starter was rookie Kenny Pickett who hasn’t been terrible and could very well be their QB of the future. However, he was injured in week 14 and might not be playing on Sunday which leaves Mason Rudolph or Mitchell Trubisky.
Not the best options but that’s all they have and if WR Diontae Johnson gets a vote, it would be for Rudolph. When asked about who he would like to see play he mentioned that he would like to see Rudolph get a shot.
“Yeah, I want to see him play,” Johnson said Thursday when asked if he’d like to see Rudolph “get a shot.”
“I know he’s ready to play. I know it’s probably in the back of his mind like, ‘Dang, when I’m going get my chance?’ I feel like this week is it for him. I know he’s going to do everything it takes to be prepared this week, get ready for Sunday.”
“Whoever’s at quarterback, they have got to be prepared as well,”
“They’ve got to be on their stuff just like me. I’ll make sure I talk to [Pickett] to see if he’s cool or whatnot. But no matter who it is, I’m, I’m going to be ready. Don’t matter who’s throwing the balls, as long as you’re making the play on the ball that end of the day.”
Would suck to be Trubisky and hear that.
