Ben Roethlisberger left a bigspace to fill in Pittsburgh. After the Steelers named Mitch Trubisky as their starting quarterback for the 2022 NFL season, they seem to be moving on from him on to a player with a worse rating than him.

After Big Ben announced his retirement, everyone at Pittsburgh was scared of whatwould comenext. The teamdid not prepare a proper transition for the quarterback, so they had to go to the market to find one.

That’s when theyacquired Mitch Trubisky, who had a rough time at the Chicago Bears. It was uncertain if he was going to start for the Steelers and now they have moved on from him on to a newquarterback for the rest of the season.

Report: Mitch Trubisky won’t be Steelers’ starting quarterback for Week 5

The Steelers are having a rough time in the beginning of the 2022 NFL season. Mitch Trubisky was unableto succeed and the patience is over for head coach Mike Tomlin.

“I thought we needed a spark, man,” said Mike Tomlin about Kenny Pickett’s appearance last Sunday. “We didn’t do much in the first half, not enough offensively, and I thought he could provide a spark for us.”

Kenny Pickett played the last snaps against the New York Jets, but had a worse QB rating than Mitch Trubisky. The rookie had three passes intecepted for a 28.4 QBR, while the former Bears’ player has, after four games, a 34 QBR.

Even though he had a rough time against the Jets, Kenny Pickett is set to be the starting quarterback for Week 5 when the Steelers face the Bills. It won’t be an easy game for him as he will play against a great defense like the one from Buffalo.
