The Pittsburgh Steelers rarely operate in extremes -- they don't tear down rosters, they don't chase trends; instead, they layer talent, trust development, and allow continuity to do the heavy lifting.
That philosophy is once again evident when examining a roster that is quietly young at several critical positions, even as the quarterback question remains unresolved.
Aaron Rodgers is not the future. Everyone in the building understands that. Additionally, the selection of Will Howard in the sixth round last spring was a developmental swing, not a declaration.
Howard is big, talented, and battle-tested after transferring from Kansas State to Ohio State and winning a national championship, but projecting him as a long-term answer would be premature.
