AFC playoffs highlighting how necessary Kenny Pickett is to the Steelers
The Pittsburgh Steelers virtually made the playoffs in 2022 due to a resurgence on protection and an influence run recreation. But when the AFC playoffs have taught us something, that isn’t how the Steelers will get again to relevance in an AFC stacked with elite quarterbacks.
The ultimate 4 groups within the AFC are all led by their quarterbacks before everything. The Kansas Metropolis Chiefs have Patrick Mahomes, the Buffalo Payments have Josh Allen, the Cincinnati Bengals have Joe Burrow and the Jacksonville Jaguars have Trevor Lawrence.
Even a workforce just like the Baltimore Ravens who made the gamers are a workforce led by Lamar Jackson however didn’t have him within the playoffs and misplaced. The 2 different groups that didn’t advance, the Miami Dolphins and Los Angeles Chargers are led by elite quarterbacks.
This actually places strain not solely on Steelers quarterback Kenny Pickett however the whole teaching employees to construct an offense that not solely maximizes the expertise on the roster however helps Pickett maximizes his expertise. There are going to be video games when Pickett goes to be in a shootout with one in every of these elite sign callers and there may be little or no margin of error for his improvement. I nonetheless contend it is a large cause the workforce selected to maintain offensive coordinator Matt Canada so there may be consistency for Pickett and the offense.
Tell us within the feedback in case you suppose Pickett can lead the Steelers within the playoffs in opposition to this crop of prime AFC groups.
