Mark Kaboly, a prominent Steelers analyst in Pittsburgh, is facing criticism in the 412-area code and beyond for cautioning fans about the potential shortcomings of the team’s quarterback situation in 2024 compared to last season. Kaboly, who contributes to local radio as well as national NFL coverage on shows like ‘Good Morning Football’ and the ‘Pat McAfee Show,’ is under fire for his negative perspective on the recent overhaul of the Steelers’ quarterback lineup.
Out are Mitch Trubisky, Kenny Pickett, and Mason Rudolph, replaced by Russell Wilson, a Super Bowl winner, and Justin Fields, a promising but turnover-prone talent. Despite the excitement among Steelers fans, Kaboly urges caution, raising concerns about whether the new quarterbacks can live up to expectations.
We explore Kaboly’s reservations in detail, presenting evidence and statistics to support his viewpoint in this comprehensive edition of the Steelers Update Podcast. Additionally, as it’s already April, we analyze the Steelers’ options for the 20th pick in the NFL draft later this month.
