About 4QBs

I get the initial reaction in disliking the 4-QB room, but i feel that a lot of our fanbase is missing the larger point.

McCarthy doesn’t want to just win now, and there’s no doubt that ARII heavily considered McCarthy’s QB focus/track record in selecting him. We’ve not had an essential component in a franchise QB since ben - which teams are consistently winning playoffs, titles, superbowls? Not those who’ve been in perpetual QB hell like Vikings, Cardinals, Browns, Titans, etc. No doubt those teams have other issues - but McCarthy is accepting a measured risk to get 2 chances at finding a franchise QB which he wants to do by 2027s season.

Very few QBs out of college are pro ready, so even if we bank on the 2027 draft class that pick will not be our immediate franchise player as they would have literally no adjustment period to the compete level and lifestyle of the NFL.

McCarthy isn’t in an exclusively “win now” mentality like Tomlin was, steelers fans should be at least excited for the change in vision for the team because at this point it’s a requirement to get out of mediocrity.

I also recognize that neither of our young guns really balled out in the preseason - every point still stands regardless, and at the very least, with McCarthy’s track record of finding/developing QBs, the city of Pittsburgh should try to have some trust in his vision.
