All summer long since the start of training camp, the conversation regarding who should be the starting quarterback for the Pittsburgh Steelers has raged on. Will it be Russell Wilson? Should it be Justin Fields?
Former Steelers’ head coach and Hall of Famer Bill Cowher knows all about quarterback competitions. He had plenty during his time in Pittsburgh and figured out how to handle them — eventually. So, when he speaks about how he would handle a QB competition going into the regular season, ears perk up.
For Cowher, who appeared on the Pat McAfee Show Monday, he would roll with Russell Wilson as the starting quarterback but have a package of plays for Fields in a change-of-pace fashion, helping limit the expectations for the young quarterback in the process.
