NFL power rankings: Stacking up all 32 teams amid 2018 training camp

Another team with an aging quarterback and a bit of a roster controversy is the Pittsburgh Steelers. Although there’s still little doubt this is Ben Roethlisberger’s team.

Roethlisberger’s seemingly endless talk of retirement has to be frustrating. But then again, so was his handling of the Steelers’ drafting of rookie quarterback Mason Rudolph.

Rudolph might be the long-term replacement. For now, Roethlisberger will command one of the most powerful offenses in the NFL. And while running back Le’Veon Bell indicated 2018 will be his final year in a Steelers uniform, one can figure that provides plenty of motivation for what promises to be a lucrative free-agent contract next year.

Oh, and that Antonio Brown guy is pretty good too.

The Steelers still have some question marks on defense, particularly at linebacker with Ryan Shazier still out with his terrible back injury.

But at least Pittsburgh’s offense is prolific enough to make up the difference. And with the road to the AFC North crown wide open, the Steelers should again be a team to watch en route to the Super Bowl.
