We’ve heard so much negative about the Pittsburgh Steelers quarterback battle, particularly pointed to Russell Wilson. That he’s over-the-hill, too slow, too corny, only won the job because Justin Fields lost it. Mark Schlereth may be plotting a kidnapping.

What it boils down to is ball security. Like a running back avoiding fumbles, ball security is job security for all positions, quarterback included.
