Justin Fields has been quarterbacking the Pittsburgh Steelers for so long that even the skeptics are starting to question if there really is a competition after all to quarterback the Arthur Smith offense. It was only Russell Wilson’s calf injury that afforded Fields this opportunity, but most agree he has made things interesting.
Has it been interesting enough for Arthur Smith to want to play Justin Fields even if he isn’t starting? The veteran offensive coordinator wasn’t willing to go that far, at least not just yet. Asked earlier this week if the Steelers would put a package together for Fields, he said, “We’ve got a long way to go”, via transcript provided by the Steelers media department.
