Should the Steelers add a veteran QB in free agency?

We’ve heard over and over this offseason that the Pittsburgh Steelers are satisfied with their backup quarterback situation. But the majority of fans and the media all believe the Steelers need to bolster depth at quarterback if for no other reason than to avoid what happened in 2019.
