Bill Cowher: Mike Tomlin Hasn’t Named QB1 Yet So Falcons Don’t Have ‘Extra Time To Prepare’

Although it seems obvious at this point that Russell Wilson is going to begin the season as the starting quarterback for the Pittsburgh Steelers, Mike Tomlin still hasn’t made an official decision. That announcement will likely come soon, but it’s curious why it hasn’t been made yet. Former Steelers head coach Bill Cowher recently gave his opinion on why Tomlin hasn’t officially named a starting quarterback.

Appearing on the Dan Patrick Show recently, Cowher was asked why he thinks Tomlin hasn’t named an official starter yet.

“Because there’s two different styles of quarterback,” Cowher said.
