ALso heard that Trubisky is the clear #1 in Pittsburgh. 

I predicted the Steelers would fall off this year, but if they can fix their OL, they could be more of a threat than many realize.

The Steelers oline is one of the worst in the league.  Their CB group is weak as well.  The do have some talent at other positions though.  Curious to see how Jack does

I've heard some favorable reviews of Jack.

For the longest time, I've felt that Steelers fans might be a little disappointed with him, if his history with is is any indication.This isn't a case of Jack no longer being any good because he is no longer a Jaguar.  He is still a superb athlete.  But I don't know if him toggling between RB and LB in college stunted his instincts, or if the Jaguars did not develop or otherwise stunting his instincts constantly switching his positions, or if he somehow never had the instincts for the position.  But his superb athleticism too infrequently translated into instinctive play.  It seems like when he was given the task of getting the defense lined up/wearing the green dot helmet he seemed to struggle.

If any team can get the most out of him, it's the Steelers.  They have been running the same scheme for decades and they've been drafting, coaching and developing good LBs to fit that system for decades with much success.  But because of that, the fans and media (to say nothing of the team itself) will have high expectations of him.  If he doesn't play up to his capabilities in Pittsburgh he's going to hear about it.
