How would you rate this Steelers team compared to last season?

When it comes to the offseason, the Pittsburgh Steelers aren’t typically one of those teams that has a ton of roster turnover. This offseason has been quite a departure as the franchise not only looks to replace quarterback Ben Roethlisberger but multiple other starters.

But are they better than last season? For every position where the Steelers upgraded, a case could be made that another did not. The wide receiver group looks to be better but the team took a step back at quarterback. The Interior offensive line got an upgrade but did cornerback?

Cast your vote and tell us, overall do you think this Steelers team is better than the one that finished last season? If I am casting a vote, I still say no. I love the improvements at inside linebacker and interior offensive line and the wide receivers are more athletic.

But seven of the Steelers nine wins last season came on game-winning drives by Roethlisberger. You just cannot undersell how important he was to this team, even so late in his career.
