The Pittsburgh Steelers know that Russell Wilson and Justin Fields don’t necessarily solve their quarterback problems for the next decade. They got both of them for bargain prices, after all, so there are at least some risks involved. Both of them arrived in Pittsburgh “scalded”, as Mike Tomlin said, and with something to prove. But, as you might imagine, there is the distinct possibility that the only thing they prove is their critics right.
That seems to be where former Steelers WR Plaxico Burress is leaning with his former team’s quarterback future. After playing with Ben Roethlisberger and Eli Manning, he doesn’t see Russell Wilson or Justin Fields as a franchise piece at this stage in their respective careers.
