Okay, so I’ve been following the Steelers for a while now, and the whole Russell Wilson situation has been, well, interesting. I mean, the guy’s a legend, no doubt, but let’s be real, he’s not getting any younger. So, I started thinking, what’s the plan after Russ? And that’s when I started digging into the 2025 NFL Draft.
I spent hours looking at different scenarios, reading scouting reports, and watching game footage of the potential quarterbacks. There are some serious talents out there, but it seems the Steelers are not likely to get them. I scoured the web for any hint of who the Steelers might be targeting, and a few names kept popping up, like Aaron Rodgers. But the more I delved into it, the more I realized that these big names might not be the right fit for the Steelers’ long-term strategy.
The 2025 QB Landscape
- Big Names, Big Question Marks: I checked out the list of top free-agent quarterbacks. Sam Darnold and Russell Wilson are gonna be the only options. None of these guys are exactly what I’d call a long-term solution.
- Draft Day Dilemma: I looked at the draft prospects, and yeah, there are some intriguing options. But here’s the thing, the Steelers are probably not going to draft high enough to get one of the top guys, and even though some people talk about Jalen Milroe, that’s probably not going to happen.
I started to think more about the team’s current situation. With Russell Wilson, Justin Fields, and Kyle Allen all being free agents, the Steelers need a plan. I wondered if they’d consider re-signing Wilson, but then what? They need to look beyond just the next season.
The Search for a Younger QB
So, I decided to focus on finding a younger quarterback who could potentially be the future of the franchise. I analyzed various players’ strengths and weaknesses, trying to find someone who could fit into the Steelers’ system and culture. This wasn’t easy, let me tell you. I compared stats, watched interviews, and even read through countless fan forums to get a sense of what the Steelers community was thinking.
After all this digging, I came to a conclusion. While there’s no sure thing in the draft, the Steelers need to prioritize finding a young, dynamic quarterback who can learn and grow under someone like Wilson, and eventually take the reins. It’s a risky move, but I think it’s the best way to ensure the team’s long-term success. And to be honest, it’s a lot more exciting than just sticking with veteran quarterbacks who are past their prime.
