Right now, the Pittsburgh Steelers are planning on having another new starting quarterback in 2026. The team signed Aaron Rodgers for 2025, but his future with the Steelers and the NFL in general is uncertain. But even if Rodgers were to return for another season, addressing the position in the 2026 NFL draft remains a high priority.
This could be another situation where a team drafts a quarterback and gives him a year to recover: Aaron Rodgers still has another season left. That said, don’t rule out the possibility of Moore being ready on Day 1. He’s still very young and inexperienced, but his poise and arm talent are outstanding.
In a quarterback class without a clear top option and with so many players who have lacked consistency, Moore has been a steady rise. This alone makes him attractive, but I agree with the author that he may not be ready to take on a full-time starting role as a rookie. With just this movie season left to begin, every game will be vital for Moore to keep pace with guys like Ty Simpson and Fernando Mendoza as the top quarterback prospect.
