Steelers Get Bold QB Recommendation Against Ravens

The Pittsburgh Steelers are back in the middle of another quarterback crisis.

The team is coming off a two bad months of football, and has zero direction when it comes to the quarterback situation. After a fast start by future Pro Football Hall of Famer Aaron Rodgers, the aging quarterback's production plumetted and he suffered an injury that held him out of a game.

Then, with Mason Rudolph at the helm, the team did not fare any better. In his one start, Rudolph had serious turnover concerns and was unable to find his receivers reliably.

Now, Rodney Harrison believes the Steelers could benefit from cycling between Rudolph and Rodgers in their upcoming matchup against the Ravens. In an appearance on the Football Night in America podcast, Harrison discussed his proposition that would allow for both to show who should be the starter going forward.

Harrison's Possible Rotation Plan Explained

"If I'm coaching them, I'm actually gonna rotate Mason Rudolph a few series. Give him an opportunity. Because you just don't know what's going to happen with Aaron Rodgers and the thumb [wrist injury]. So I'm actually rotating both quarterbacks, just to give them a little bit more depth," Harrison said.

The Steelers are in desperate need of an injection of offensive power, and Harrison believes this is one way to do so. By giving both players reps, they will get to see what they have in both quarterbacks moving forward, and make a better informed decision on who should lead the team moving forward.

On the other hand, if that was the case, it begs the question of why the Steelers would not just split up first team reps in practice, instead of risking either injury or embarassement when it comes to the actual game. Additionally, the Steelers should theoretically have an idea of who their top quarterback is before Week 14 rolls around, and the team still has a chance to compete for a playoff spot.
