Following in line with what most expect, ESPN’s Jeremy Fowler – a former Steelers’ beat writer – believes QB Mitch Trubisky will open the season as Pittsburgh’s starter when they travel to Cincinnati Week One. Fowler went on to argue a Trubisky-led team can remain competitive.
Appearing on ESPN’s Keyshawn, JWill, and Max Show, Fowler said all signs point to the veteran Trubisky beating out rookie Kenny Pickett.
“It’s looking like if there is a favorite, it’s Mitchell Trubisky,” he told the group. “He’s positioned himself well. He had a good spring. The feeling out of Pittsburgh is it’s his job to lose.
