The Pittsburgh Steelers have to strike a balance at training camp when it comes to evaluating their two new quarterbacks. Russell Wilson didn’t miss any practices during the spring, which gave Justin Fields very few chances to work with the starters on offense. Given that the Steelers have no quarterbacks under contract beyond the 2024 season, they need to set up opportunities to see Fields with the starters to evaluate his long-term potential before free agency next March.
That is a far cry from the quarterback competition narrative that we have spent the offseason debating. But with so many new variables in place—particularly on offense—the Steelers would be best served to get as many snaps as possible for their intended starter throughout training camp.
