Do not overthink the quarterback position on the Steelers roster

Quarterbacks (3): Mitch Trubisky, Mason Rudolph, Kenny Pickett

Mitch Trubisky is going to be the starter for at least the beginning of the season. What happens after that for the Steelers quarterback spot will be up to this player and the others on the roster to decide. The team seems content with giving Trubisky every shot to be the main guy for this year, but they will not shy away from doing what is best for the club. He will make this team despite having a slow start to camp, but he is starting to get things together recently.

Mason Rudolph makes the roster again; this happens after some recent chatter about what his future might hold. The black and gold decide to keep this player on the roster that knows the offense and is good enough to be a depth piece on the team. He could always demand a way out if he does not win the starting spot, but that does not seem likely to happen yet either.

Kenny Pickett was the first-round pick by the Steelers, but many still do not know what his role will be during this season. Unless he starts blowing people away in practice and Trubisky falls flat on his face, this rookie will need to wait his turn to start. He seems to be starting to put things together in practice now after having a rough go of things to start training camp. He should start some games this year but that will all depend on how the starter in front of him plays.
