How PFF Views Pittsburgh Steelers Offense Entering 2024

The Pittsburgh Steelers haven’t been known for having a high-powered offense in recent years. Ever since Ben Roethlisberger began his end-of-career decline in the late 2010s, Pittsburgh has won games on the back of their defense. They have a chance to be much better on the offensive side of the ball in 2024. The Steelers have likely made upgrades at quarterback, offensive line, and offensive coordinator since last year.

Pro Football Focus released their rankings of the best players in the NFL at each position heading into next season. While the Steelers feel good about the roster upgrades they have made, PFF’s rankings suggest there is still plenty of room for improvement in Pittsburgh.

Whether or not Pittsburgh’s quarterback play will be better in 2024 than 2023 remains to be seen, but there’s no denying the effort they made to upgrade at the position. They completely overhauled their quarterback room. Kenny Pickett, Mason Rudolph, and Mitch Trubisky have been replaced by Russell Wilson, Justin Fields, and Kyle Allen. While there’s a strong argument to be made for Fields to be their starter, all signs point to Wilson beginning the season as QB1.Wilson came in at 22 on PFF’s rankings of the top 32 quarterbacks for 2024. He is in the tier titled “Can Singlehandedly Win and Lose Games,” which sounds right for Wilson. He had high highs and low lows in 2023 with the Denver Broncos. When he’s clicking, especially in the deep passing game, Wilson is still a real threat. But when he’s struggling with pocket presence and general awareness, Wilson is bad. He could revive his career in Pittsburgh, or his sudden downfall could continue.
