About Elite QBs

For a bunch of years there have been fans who comment about how the Steelers won't improve without an elite QB. "It's a Quarterback driven league." "All the best teams have the best QBs." "Can't expect the Steelers to improve without a franchise QB." "Until they get a higher draft picks they won't find a QB" and so on and so forth.

Fans also need to look at what happened in the Super Bowl a little critically. Mahomes is an elite QB and got completely dominated. Look at the pieces around him. Kelce, Hopkins, and Hunt past their primes. Hollywood Brown and JuJu who likewise are past prime and were never elite like the others.

There is a degree to which yes, better QB play is going to lift an offense. But also if there is a lack of supporting cast for that QB, they will fail. With a weak receiver room, TE production not really improving this year, and question marks at RB, should Steeler fans really be concerned about who will be QB until at least one of those other holes is addressed?
