Re: NFL 2024 Offseason

obviously it was clear that Pittsburgh didn't have faith in Pickett once it signed Russ, but I now wonder what the best case situation is for the Steelers' long-term future at quarterback is in 2024

Darnold was also like 17 years old when they drafted him. I've decided I'm convinced a team can't be wrong that many times in the top rounds of the draft with different FOs each time, the org just ruins them. Except Wilson.
