Wilson was, of course, the most important addition Pittsburgh made this offseason. Pickett was arguably the least impactful starter in the NFL last season (6 TDs, 4 INTs in 12 starts), so a quarterback boost could make the Steelers legitimate title contenders.

While Fields is also in the quarterback room, but Wilson was reportedly the clear-cut starter during organized team activities.

"Wilson was entrenched as QB1 for the past three weeks and did absolutely nothing to suggest that three minicamp practices, 16 or so training camp practices and two preseason games (the starters likely won't play in one of the three) will change that," Mark Kaboly of The Athletic wrote.

This will be a bit of a trial season for Wilson, who signed on a one-year deal. While the 35-year-old may not return to being the perennial Pro Bowler he was with the Seattle Seahawks, he should play well enough to justify sticking with the Steelers beyond 2024.

Yes, Wilson's two-year stint with the Denver Broncos was disappointing. However, he was far from bad statistically last season (26 TDs, 8 INTs, 98.0 QB rating) and was far better than what Pittsburgh got from its quarterback room. The Steelers have proven pass-catchers in George Pickens and Pat Freiermuth and can support Wilson with a strong running game.

Wilson may not be significantly better than he was with Denver last season, but Pittsburgh doesn't need him to be. Even average quarterback play can make the Steelers a factor in the AFC, and Wilson can be average. Expect him to be a bit better than average and to potentially finish his career as a multi-year starter for the Steelers.
