Plaxico Burress Doesn’t See QB Competition, Steelers Didn’t Want Justin Fields To Start

Most of the talk surrounding the Pittsburgh Steelers this offseason was their supposed quarterback battle between Russell Wilson and Justin Fields. Media attention only grew as Wilson suffered a calf injury, giving Fields most of the QB1 reps in training camp and with Fields enjoying an impressive and progressive spring.

Fields also looked better than Wilson last night, although it is hard to really put any blame on Wilson due to the poor pass protection. Despite that, it seems that Wilson is still in the driver’s seat to start this season. Given his resume, it’s hard to argue against it.
