The strategy is sound: be patient for the right QB to come along and strengthen weaknesses elsewhere.No need to trade up picks or trade away picks for a QB now. If Pickett or Willis are available at 20, we probably take them. If not, we load up elsewhere and wait for a better QB to come along in the future. Plugging a young, mobile qb into an already stacked team is literally how every good team in recent history has done it. Save for Tampa that plugged with an old, immobile 42 year old.
You rival fans can rejoice all you want, but this kind of foresight is why Steeler downturns never last for more than a few years and rarely field teams at worse than mediocre levels. Enjoy the next few years, because the Steelers will be back soon enough …
… and you know it.
