If you listen to the reports, the Pittsburgh Steelers have a clear hierarchy in their revamped quarterback room. Russell Wilson is the starter while Justin Fields will be the backup. However, the fact that this is even a conversation shows that we cannot always trust every report at face value. Or simply we should recognize that plans can and will change.
That’s why Tuesday’s episode of Get Up on ESPN had the crew discussing Wilson, Fields, and how the quarterback situation will shake out. Former NFL QB Tim Hasselbeck offered up a prediction that Fields will start by Week 10 but then offered up a bold thought that Week 5 (or even crazy enough Week 1) is when Fields will earn his first start as a Steeler.
