Steelers benching QB Justin Fields would be a mistake

I know, I know.

Wow, Jarrett is talking about Justin Fields again.

And sure, I’ve been a pretty heavy supporter of Fields this season, but there’s a reason for that - he’s played well.

Yet despite his play, Mike Tomlin acknowledged today that there is a chance Wilson will start Sunday vs. the New York Jets. Tom Pelissero of NFL Network reported that Wilson is expected to get first-team reps in practice, which would “put him in line to start.”

Sources: The #Steelers plan to give Russell Wilson first-team reps in practice this week, putting him in line to make his season debut and start Sunday night against the #Jets.
