The value of the quarterback position was in the NFL put on full display with the 2019 Pittsburgh Steelers being a perfect case study. Despite the team’s defense posting elite results, they ended up missing the playoffs with an 8-8 regular season record.

Not only will the Steelers be getting Ben Roethlisberger back into the lineup, they added talent on offense in the offseason. Between the signing of Eric Ebron and the selection of Chase Claypool in the 2020 NFL Draft, Pittsburgh now has more athletic, big-bodied receiving options.

Forcing defenses to have greater respect for the passing game should naturally help the talent in the backfield produce better results. James Conner is a player, in particular, that has proven to thrive with Roethlisberger in the lineup and should bounce-back in 2020.

In speaking of players that should bounce back in a major way this season, look no further than JuJu Smith-Schuster. Managing to receive greater impact from the team’s passing attack in addition to the ground game should result in a much improved record.
