PITTSBURGH — A day after Russell Wilson was announced as the Pittsburgh Steelers’ offensive captain this season, a national analyst raised some confusion towards the decision.

Fox Sports 1’s Emmanuel Acho, who is a part of the network’s new show titled The Facility, is of the opinion that the Steelers should have shied away from awarding a captain patch to Wilson because he is at risk of losing his starting quarterback job.

“I got a huge issue with it,” Acho said. “Here’s my issue with it. Russell Wilson, I believe, is one of the greatest men I have ever met in my life. We came into the National Football League together. Russell Wilson is probably one of the best leaders of men in society. My issue is this: Don’t name a captain you might bench.”

It is customary for NFL teams to impart captaincy upon their quarterback, and for good reason. Players at the position assume large responsibilities both on and off the field and essentially hold the weight of the team in their hands, so it’s only right that they are officially recognized for their leadership.

Whether it’s coaches or players voting on captains, rallying around an organization’s signal caller can also generate some additional camaraderie, which becomes easier when they have that patch on their jersey and are a figurehead in the locker room.

Wilson has been a captain since his sophomore campaign in 2013 and is also one of the more experienced and accomplished quarterbacks in the entire league. Pittsburgh has put a premium on his intangibles and believes in his ability to turn the offense’s fortunes around, likely making its decision an easy one.

There is some precedent for this choice when looking at prior seasons, as Kenny Pickett and Mitch Trubisky were named captains after winning the starting job despite not having a firm grip on that role. Both players were eventually benched, so the Steelers are no strangers to working through the exact scenario Acho cautioned about.

CBIA’s 2024 Survey of Connecticut Businesses—the 22nd annual edition, made possible again through the generous support of Marcum LLP—captures the state of business in Connecticut at an important transition point.

It’s been four-plus years since the pandemic shut down the state, national, and global economies— years that brought change and rapidly evolving business models, consumer behavior, careers, and workplaces.

The key question is this: what’s next for Connecticut? While it can be argued that the pandemic made us a stronger state, old issues and new await as the state charts its future course.

Federal pandemic relief funds—a critical lifeline over the past four years that kept tax hikes at bay as government spending increased—will no longer be available when the Lamont administration and the legislature hammer out the state’s latest two-year budget next winter and spring.

Numerous special interest groups are pushing policymakers to weaken the state’s fiscal guardrails, a key component of the critical 2017 budget reforms that the legislature extended just last year and the reason the state is, for now, on such firm financial footing.

CBIA surveyed more than 2,700 top business executives on the heels of the 2024 Connecticut General Assembly session, one that fell short of leveraging that fiscal strength to address economic roadblocks and set a strategic course for continued growth.

This report provides a snapshot of the state’s current economy, expectations from business leaders for the future, and insights into what makes Connecticut both an attractive and challenging state to do business.
