Summary

Chris Carter of the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette, hosts the Locked on Steelers podcast. The Pittsburgh Steelers' Owner Art Rooney II explained the Steelers' priority to fix the quarterback situation with Kenny Pickett. Rooney says thats the key to the Steelers ending their playoff drought. But is it that simple? Pickett's struggles mean he hasn't proven he can be a consistent NFL starting quarterback. But could that be fixed with a new offensive coordinator? Also, Chris answers questions from listeners about whether the Steelers should trade for Justin Fields, which offensive coordinators would be the best hires, and what might happen to Mason Rudolph. Finally, Chris reveals his final grades for the Steelers' safeties, including Minkah Fitzpatrick and what went wrong at the position.
