Steelers QB Plan Revealed: Why They’re Keeping FOUR

Jim Wexell believes the Steelers are preparing to keep four quarterbacks, a position he has maintained since the spring. The reasoning goes beyond Friday night: Pittsburgh is trying to win another division championship while simultaneously developing two young quarterbacks behind Aaron Rodgers and Mason Rudolph.The roster implications get even more interesting when you look at the offensive line, where Gennings Dunker’s injury could create another difficult decision — and potentially impact how Pittsburgh makes room for four quarterbacks. And what about Joey Porter Jr.?Wexell offers a very different perspective on the contract situation — including why the Steelers may already have their number in mind and may simply be willing to wait. There’s also Asante Samuel Jr., who continues to put together solid practices. And the larger question of how Pittsburgh balances developing young players with trying to win right now.That’s what makes this Steelers roster so fascinating heading into the second preseason contest against the Jets.The Steelers aren’t simply evaluating players.They’re trying to build a roster capable of defending the AFC North while developing the next generation of the team at the same time.The full conversation goes much deeper into what Jim Wexell is seeing around the team, why the four-quarterback plan makes sense, what Pittsburgh may sacrifice to keep four QBs, and which roster battles could become critical before the August 30 cutdown deadline.Subscribe for boots-on-the-ground Steelers coverage, insider reporting, practice observations, player evaluations, roster battles, coaching decisions, and analysis you won’t get from generic Steelers news coverage.Steelers Nation — which roster battle are YOU watching most closely heading into Friday’s preseason game against the Jets?#Steelers #PittsburghSteelers #SteelersNation #NFL #NFLNews #SteelersNews #SteelersFootball #SteelersPodcast #SteelersInsider #SteelersTrainingCamp #SteelersPractice #SteelersQB #WillHoward #MasonRudolph #JoeyPorterJr
