5 dream scenarios for Steelers fans during the 2023 season

Kenny Pickett becomes a top ten quarterback in the NFL, or better

It might seem like a nearly impossible feat to see Pickett become a top ten quarterback in the NFL after this season. Unless he sets the field ablaze with his performance, it is unlikely he will be held in that high of regard. Even if he has a year in 2023 that shows vast improvements, he will struggle to become labeled top ten in the NFL.

Dreams do become true sometimes and a lot of this one becoming reality is the health and progression of Pickett in year two. If he can stay healthy and away from the concussion issues, he could have a chance at improvement. Pickett should understand the offense in its entirety with his second year under Canada as coordinator.

As of now, it would take Pickett to show enough to get into the conversation of top ten quarterback by being better than a handful of quarterbacks from both conferences. He would have to be consistently better than players like Matthew Stafford, Dak Prescott, Trevor Lawrence, and Aaron Rodgers to name a few.

If Pickett can become better than those guys, then the Steelers could be in good shape for a long time. Quarterback is the most important position in the league and the upcoming campaign will go based off the success of the second-year signal caller. This dream scenario is a little hard to see become true, but it’s not entirely out of the question.
