Radio host says Pittsburgh Steelers should make this shocking move: ‘They need to start over’

The Pittsburgh Steelers are 10-6 and have now lost control of the AFC North as they head into the postseason. Their postseason berth is already clinched, so they have nothing to worry about there, but if they want to win their first playoff game in over a decade, many things need to be fixed.

Yet, one analyst says this recent stretch proves it’s time for the Steelers to blow it up entirely. Jason McIntyre says the Steelers should trade T.J. Watt and hit the reset button because it is what the team needs.

“I took a lot of heat when I said over the offseason the Steelers should trade T.J. Watt and start over, but I wasn’t wrong,” McIntyre said. “I was just early. I looked for nine or 10 weeks, but this team needs to start over.”

When McIntyre suggested the offseason, it was to the tune of the Steelers landing multiple first-round picks that would allow them to cobble together enough capital to land a franchise quarterback in the draft.

That is what McIntyre believes is ultimately holding the Steelers back from contention, placing much of the blame at the feet of Russell Wilson. Even still, the Steelers are not going to trade Watt and believe they can win a Super Bowl with him.
