If not he should be by default. IMO, when you have a rookie QB you let the incumbent lose the job first. That way there is no questioning the decision when you put in the rook. Because rookies will always struggle eventually. Pitt knows what they're doing. On the flip side, we saw the Dolphins botch that up in Tua's first year.

 

The incumbent is Rudolph

Mitch is a good QB.  Not going to take you to the promised land, but he will be in the Top 16 QB's in the league.  He is a solid starter.  His career stats are quite good. His 2018 was exceptional.  He got his team in position to win playoff game too.  Kicker missed 43 yarder to win playoff game.

Zach Wilson was named captain for the Jets..

Tua named captain for the Dolphins..

 

Amazing that we live in a time with so many QBs being such great leaders.. and it's not at all a default for the QB

It's almost as if leadership is a part of that position or something.

Yep.  The Steelers are in a very tough division and they aren't a franchise (or fanbase) that would accept a 4-13 "rebuilding" season with a raw rookie QB... 

 

They also aren't going to sit around quietly while Mitch heads to 4-13.

I think you’ll be surprised. Mitch is a very solid QB and will finally be able to show that.

 

He is the greatest 6 completion (well, 7, if you include the INT) QB ever to wear the Bills jersey!!

I agree…if Mitch doesn’t play well, he won’t be the starter for long.  The Steelers have some pretty nice weapons, though, so he at least has a chance….

And bench him for whom?  Rudolph, since Pickett couldn't even win the backup QB job.  lol...weo.
