On Monday, Pittsburgh Steelers President Art Rooney II talked to several members of the local media about last season and the team’s plan going forward. The Steelers finished the season on a low note going 10-7, losing its final four regular-season games and getting bounced in the first round of the playoffs.
This was despite the Steelers completely rebuilding the quarterback depth chart in the offseason. Out were Kenny Pickett, Mitch Trubisky and Mason Rudolph and in were Russell Wilson, Justin Fields and Kyle Allen.
The change didn’t prompt the improvement anyone hoped for and now the Steelers are back to square one. Rooney talked about what he hopes will happen but kept things realistic in terms of keeping Wilson and Fields.
“I wouldn’t close the door but I’d say it’s probably unlikely,” Rooney said. “I think both of them see themselves as starters and I don’t know that they want to share the same job again next year.”
Rooney was also asked if the team learned anything about drafting a quarterback after missing the mark on Kenny Pickett.
