The Pittsburgh Steelers had two major weaknesses last year at quarterback and offensive coordinator. This year, it looks like they’ve solved those problems. Arthur Smith and Justin Fields have both been a breath of fresh air. Fields isn’t officially the starting quarterback yet, but it feels like only a matter of time until he is. It sounds like Smith wouldn’t be opposed to that. Analyst Robert Mays of The Athletic has heard that Smith is really enjoying working with Fields.
“You can just see that he’s playing with so much more confidence now than he was over the last couple of years,” Mays said on a recent episode of The Athletic Football Show.
