The Pittsburgh Steelers overhauled their quarterback room over the course of the first week of free agency. Mason Rudolph was let walk, Mitch Trubisky was released, and Kenny Pickett was traded while the Steelers signed Russell Wilson and traded for Justin Fields. Wilson has the Super Bowl pedigree and a wealth of experience from 12 seasons in the NFL, so he is naturally being given the first opportunities in the starting lineup. But Fields is a decade younger with more long-term upside, and has a unique blend of athleticism and arm talent.
Former NFL QB Chase Daniel doesn’t understand why the keys are being given to Wilson, and thinks Fields deserves an opportunity to compete as a top QB in the NFL.
