Justin Fields Looking ‘More Comfortable,’ But Roethlisberger Wants Him To Use Middle Of Field

Life sure was nice when Ben Roethlisberger was the quarterback of the Pittsburgh Steelers. The team was a consistent Super Bowl contender, and they had a chance to win every game. Things have been a little tougher for them since then, but Justin Fields has given them their best quarterback play since Roethlisberger retired. It’s too soon to call him a franchise quarterback, but Roethlisberger does believe he’s looking more settled in.

“I think early on it was almost like, whether the training wheels were on, or he just didn’t feel comfortable making that throw, forcing that ball into that tight window,” Roethlisberger said Friday on The Pat McAfee Show.
