The Pittsburgh Steelers revamped their offense this offseason, and the biggest change on the field happened in the quarterback room, with the Steelers signing Russell Wilson and trading for Justin Fields. While Mike Tomlin publicly put Wilson in “pole position,” there’s still been debate over who will or should win the job.
I think that Fields should get a contract extension and that he can be the long-term answer at quarterback. But for this season, Wilson is the best option. Strictly looking at 2024, the Steelers need to win. The fan base is fed up with the lack of playoff success, ownership is getting impatient, and the fact of the matter is, nothing the Steelers do this season will matter if they miss the playoffs.
