For Russell Wilson, this year proved to be another situation for him where he needed to be able to carry an offense with multiple problems on it beyond his own (and trust me, he has his own issues), and he just wasn't capable of being that player anymore, and if we're being honest, will probably never be that type of player again.

I still think he's a top 32 QB in the league with his ability to throw down the field with accuracy, touch, and pacing at such an efficient clip, but there's more to the position than that, & his lack of escapability mixed with a height limitation which hinders his ability to see the middle of the field past his 1st read means I think he's more in the 'bridge starter' category of QB at this point in his career. 

If I'm the Steelers & have the opportunity to upgrade at the position, I would be jumping at the chance to do so this offseason.

I still believe bringing him in at the vet minimum this year was the best move at the team's disposal this offseason to give themselves the best chance at delivering a playoff win, but now that Russ will be considerably more expensive to bring back for 2025, I think his time in PIT has most likely run it's course, unless there are literally 0 better options available to PIT on the open market this spring, which I'm REALLY hoping isn't the case.
