We can debate endlessly who will be the Pittsburgh Steelers’ starting quarterback in 2025. But until they sign, trade for, or draft someone, it will certainly just be a debate. This post isn’t necessarily advocating for the Steelers to re-sign Justin Fields. It’s looking at what offensive coordinator Arthur Smith could (and arguably should) do differently to support Fields and the offense in 2025.
There are two main truths at play here: First, Justin Fields was 4-2 as a starter while posting a career-high 65.8 completion percentage. He did show marked improvement from his time in Chicago. Second, the offense wasn’t anywhere near explosive enough or generating enough points to compete with the best teams in the AFC.
