They still have Canada as OC and every STeeler fan I know wishes he was gone. Pickett, IMO, has an Andy Dalton-esque ceiling but last year with him at the helm, I don't think they ever scored more than 20 points in a game. Granted he's no longer a rookie, but I don't think he's going to make this huge tremendous leap and get the Steelers offense rolling, especially if Canada is as bad as Steeler fans claim he is.

It really comes down to Pickett.
If he stays about where he's at, I think Steelers will be like the 2011-2015 Bengals. They'll be competitive, but he'll hold them back from being good enough to be a champion.


They have some pretty decent offensive weapons in Johnson, Pickens, Harris, Freiermuth, and Robinson/Washington.
No elite guys, but most solid.

I actually think their OL could be sneaky good.
I really like James Daniels, Isaac Seumalo, and their new draft pick Broderick Jones.
Okorafor isn't bad at RT, Mason Cole is ok at C.

I get old-school AFC North vibes from this Steelers team.
Keep the opposition from scoring, have long offensive drives with rushing and shorter passes.
