Kenny Pickett’s move to the Philadelphia Eagles and their subsequent Super Bowl appearance has given Steelers fans another reason to be frustrated about the 2024 season. Pickett, a former first-round draft pick, served as the backup quarterback to Jalen Hurts during the 2024 campaign.
Although Pickett didn’t have a significant impact on the Eagles’ success, his presence in the Super Bowl is a sore spot for Steelers fans. The team’s inability to make a deep playoff run, combined with Pickett’s departure and subsequent success with the Eagles, has left a bad taste in the mouths of Steelers supporters.
To make matters worse, the Steelers have been struggling to find consistency at the quarterback position. With Russell Wilson, Justin Fields, and Kyle Allen all having expiring contracts, the team faces uncertainty at quarterback heading into the 2025 season.
The Steelers’ front office has a lot of work to do to address the team’s quarterback situation and make significant improvements to the roster. Until then, Steelers fans will have to endure the frustration of watching former players like Pickett find success elsewhere.
