If the Pittsburgh Steelers are holding a quarterback competition between Russell Wilson and Justin Fields, then it feels like a race—to the bottom. Combined, the two have played the majority of two preseason games and produced three points. Both are former established starters, Wilson more so than Fields, but neither look like one at the moment.
Still, the Steelers have to choose between one of Wilson and Fields—or Kyle Allen, I suppose. That is what they have to work with, and they can’t realistically make a major change for 2024 now. While Fields has played the most due to Wilson’s calf injury, Booger McFarland hasn’t seen anything that tells him this is a different player than the one the Chicago Bears just traded.
