McCourty And Orlovsky Think Bigger Issues At Play Than QB For Steelers’ Offense

The debate over the Pittsburgh Steelers’ starting quarterback reached a fever pitch this week. The Steelers lost a heartbreaker to the Dallas Cowboys last Sunday night/Monday morning. And then Russell Wilson was a full participant in practice Wednesday for the first time since before the season. So does that mean Justin Fields’ tenure as the starting quarterback of the Steelers is over?

Well, it depends on who you ask. There are those who say Wilson should be the starter as soon as he’s healthy. They point to his veteran presence, Super Bowl experience, and the fact that head coach Mike Tomlin named him the starting quarterback ahead of the season.
