Scott Tolzien has been given every opportunity to take this backup quarterback spot and run with it, but his subpar play has left the job wide open through three weeks of the preseason.
Tolzien got off to a strong start in Saturday night’s preseason game against the Steelers, but he made a huge mistake throwing an interception directly to Ryan Shazier.
He still ended the night with some very strong, but possibly misleading, statistics completing 7 of 10 passes for 123 yards. However, 55 of those passing yards came on a long catch and run from Donte Moncrief.
