Could the answer to the Pittsburgh Steelers’ quarterback issue be sitting right in front of them? Justin Fields may not pan out to be the long-term answer they are looking for, but he could be the best of several uninspiring options heading into 2025.
There were two QBs brought in last offseason for the Steelers, all the chatter leading upto the season was about how the best-case scenario involved Fields winning the job. He was 25 years old for the 2024 season (younger than Kenny Pickett) and had way more long-term potential than the now 36-year-old Wilson.
Ultimately, Tomlin chose to go with Wilson while Fields was 4-2, looking for a spark to take them from being a good team to being a great team.
