Kordell Stewart: Justin Fields ‘Deserves The Opportunity’ To Finish The Job With Steelers

Justin Fields isn’t quite a “Slash” player, but he also isn’t the Steelers’ first dual-threat quarterback. Before Fields was even born, there was Kordell Stewart. And Stewart is watching what the Steelers do next with great interest, waiting for their quarterback decision.

Last season, the Steelers pursued Russell Wilson in free agency, later trading for Justin Fields as a backup. Due to injury, Fields started the first six games of the season. At that point, many felt the Steelers should keep him in the lineup, but Mike Tomlin turned to Wilson once he was healthy. That looked like a stroke of genius at first, but now many argue the Steelers should re-sign Justin Fields instead.
