The Pittsburgh Steelers seemed poised to make a deep playoff run this season. They started 10-3 and Russell Wilson had a massive game against the Bengals, throwing for over 400 yards and helping the Steelers put up 44 points. However, the Steelers lost their last five games and failed to score more than 17 points in each contest. Wilson is no longer under contract with the Steelers, but he made it clear he wants to remain in Pittsburgh in an appearance on The Pat McAfee Show.

“I’ve got so much more in me, man,” Wilson said. “My goal is to be with the Pittsburgh Steelers a long time and hopefully finish my career there.”

The Steelers running it back with Wilson would signal all the wrong things. It would scream that they are complacent with being above average and don’t have any real standards or goals, and the fanbase deserves better than that.
