The Pittsburgh Steelers’ disappointing season has left fans frustrated and searching for answers. While there were many factors that contributed to the team’s struggles, one decision stands out as the biggest mistake of the year.
The Steelers’ failure to address their quarterback situation has been a topic of debate all season. Despite having a talented young quarterback in Kenny Pickett, the team’s decision to stick with Mitchell Trubisky as the starter for the first four games of the season has been widely criticized.
“Starting Trubisky was a huge mistake,” said one frustrated fan. “Pickett was the clear choice, and the team wasted valuable time and games on a quarterback who wasn’t the future.”
The numbers back up the fans’ claims. In the four games Trubisky started, the Steelers averaged just 16.5 points per game and had a record of 1-3. In contrast, with Pickett as the starter, the team averaged 20.5 points per game and had a record of 7-6.
“It’s clear that Pickett gave the team a spark that Trubisky couldn’t provide,” said another fan. “The coaching staff’s decision to stick with Trubisky for so long cost us valuable games and potentially a playoff spot.”
The Steelers’ quarterback situation will be a major topic of discussion in the offseason, and fans will be eager to see how the team addresses the position. One thing is certain: the team’s failure to start Pickett from day one will be remembered as one of the biggest mistakes of the season.
