Russell Wilson has won the Pittsburgh Steelers’ quarterback battle for now. That doesn’t mean the competition is over. If Wilson struggles, Justin Fields could be inserted into the starting lineup. It’s good that the Steelers have multiple options, but hopefully Wilson is good enough to keep the starting job because that means the Steelers are winning games. However, former NFL offensive lineman Mark Schlereth seems to believe Wilson won’t last long as the starting quarterback.

Speaking on his podcast, Stinkin’ Truth, Schlereth was asked many games Wilson will be the Steelers’ starter, barring injury.

“I’m gonna say five,” Schlereth said.
