People ‘Around The League’ Believe Steelers Want Russell Wilson To Be QB1, Says Chris Simms

A quarterback controversy is starting to heat up for the Pittsburgh Steelers. It looked like Justin Fields was going to keep the job, but a rough primetime performance against the Dallas Cowboys has opened the door a little more for Russell Wilson. It sounds like Wilson is nearing full health, so Mike Tomlin will have to make a decision soon. Analyst Chris Simms has heard that the Steelers would prefer Wilson to be their starter.

“I think anybody you talk to around the league, it kind of seems like this is what the Steelers really want anyway,” Simms said Monday on Pro Football Talk.
