Is Justin Fields the Steelers’ best option at quarterback for 2025?
Justin Fields started the Steelers’ first six games of 2024—but he did so as the backup. The Steelers didn’t “bench him” but merely installed their starter when healthy. But heading into 2025, is it the case that Fields is their best available option to start?
Now, Justin Fields didn’t exactly set the world on fire during his starting stint. He also benefited from better defensive play and a weaker schedule, along with some luck (i.e. Justin Herbert’s injury). He wasn’t the reason the Steelers lost twice, but he also wasn’t the primary reason they won four times.
