Desmond Ridder Debate

Are the Pittsburgh Steelers staying in their Super Bowl window with Desmond Ridder?

In this story:

The Pittsburgh Steelers select quarterback Desmond Ridder in the latest All Steelers Mock Drafts, but is it a safe choice? Is it the right choice? 

There are a lot of reasons to believe Ridder has what the Steelers are looking for. He's athletic, a proven leader and has all the intangibles you want in a quarterback. 

On paper, he's a guy you feel confident selecting and building around. But on the field, it's a different story. 

Ridder has accuracy issues, has been inconsistent his entire career and even failed to truly impress at his Pro Day. Maybe all of those can be fixed with a sound quarterback coach and offensive coordinator, but is it worth the risk in the first round? 

It's time for the Ridder debate.
