    Drafting QB in 2024

    With all the debate on is it Kenny or is it Canada, I thought what if the Steelers move on from both? That’s the premise. Canada is not brought back in any capacity, and KP is traded away for future picks.

    What does the 2024 QB prospects crop look like? Pick 2or3 options to replace KP.

    In that range, maybe Nix or Sanders.

    I said this as a joke before, draft Sanders and hire daddy Prime as OC.

    I can not believe I am writing this....but if you're in the back half of the first round and you want a QB...maybe gotta take a look at McCarthy from Michigan.

    I think it would be ill advised to draft a QB next year unless you just take a flier on guy in the middle to late rounds that you have a first round grade on.

    If you were drafting in top ten, yes, I'd say consider it. Still, it is not the Steelers' way.

    The Steelers will probably give Kenny two more years before they start looking elsewhere. Personally, I'd give him next year with a new coordinator. At the very least, he needs to prove that he can put 30 on an average defense consistently, while maintaining his clutch gene. Otherwise, I'd be drafting a QB in 2025. Thirty on an average defense doesn't seem like much, but considering how putrid the offense has been, it would huge progress. And obviously, he will still have to continue to improve beyond that if we are going to compete for Superbowls, but that would be enough for me to hold off drafting a QB in 2025.

    How about just a 300 yard passing game…??

    Maybe it’s the Oregon connection but Bo Nix is very similar to Justin Herbert in nearly every statistical category. Nix might not be a terrible draft pick.

    He's improved immensely over his 9 years of college football.

    You don’t see many 14 year olds playing college football.

    Edit the OP a little. Keeping KP as the current starter and hoping he upgrades the backup. List your top5 QBs we could draft to eventually take over as starter.
