4 reasons why Steelers quarterback situation is the worst in the NFL

The quarterback of the future not on the Steelers roster

Just because Mason Rudolph and Dwayne Haskins are young football players doesn’t at all insinuate that either one of them is going to be the ‘quarterback of the future’ for the Pittsburgh Steelers. In fact, with what we have seen from both Rudolph and Haskins to this point, I’d say it’s extremely unlikely that either player ever develops into even an average NFL starter.

While both Rudolph and Haskins have decent NFL arms, their ball placement has been all over the field in their first few seasons and we have not seen much progress in this area. The biggest concern, however, is that both players are statues in the pocket with virtually no ability to get outside the hashes and extend the platy. In today’s NFL, this is practically a must.

Rudolph and Haskins aren’t suddenly going to become better athletes and they will always have these limitations to their game. Being big in stature doesn’t mean they have a lot of upsides. I can tell you that from what I’ve seen from both players, Ben’s successor isn’t currently on the roster – whether the Steelers are willing to admit that or not.
