Mike Tomlin Says Russell Wilson, Justin Fields ‘Certainly Competing’ But ‘Don’t Overly Concern Ourselves With Being Fair’

For Pittsburgh Steelers head coach Mike Tomlin, a quarterback competition—including one between Russell Wilson and Justin Fields—is in the eye of the beholder. And Tomlin is the one eying this competition, such that it is one. Appearing on Up & Adams on Saturday with Kay Adams, he explained his idea of competition between the two.

“Certainly, they’re competing, but I don’t overly concern ourselves with being fair”, Tomlin insisted. “There’s no such thing as 50/50. We just pay respect to the totality of his resume and his experience. We lean on it; we let him lead the group informally”.
