Russell Wilson was at one level considered as a positive factor to be the beginning quarterback of the Pittsburgh Steelers in Week 1, however the competitors all of the sudden appears extra open than ever.
Steelers head coach Mike Tomlin mentioned again in March that Wilson was in the “pole position” to be the team’s starting QB. Tomlin then reiterated that stance firstly of coaching camp final month.
The state of affairs has since gotten a bit extra unsure. Tomlin was critical of Pittsburgh’s entire offense following Saturday’s ugly 9-3 preseason loss to the Buffalo Payments. Ian Rapoport of NFL Media mentioned on Tuesday that the Steelers’ QB1 job is really up for grabs.
“Justin Fields had a extremely, actually good begin of preseason. Both of these guys might take the job proper now, seize onto it and be the starter,” Rapoport mentioned. “The truth that that has not occurred is just not nice. … They don’t have a solution but, not that they gained’t, they only don’t. This is also shaping as much as be a state of affairs the place the Steelers might find yourself, sooner or later through the season, taking part in each of those quarterbacks if one doesn’t stand out.”
