With Justin Fields and now Russell Wilson, Bucky Brooks believes Mike Tomlin and the Pittsburgh Steelers are having their cake and eating it, too. After getting a quality six-game look at Fields for the future, they now have a viable Wilson for the present. That is realistically as much as Tomlin could have hoped for this year. The only real problem if current trends prevail is managing to afford to retain both, which may not be possible.
“Credit Mike Tomlin for having a long-range view on how he wants his Pittsburgh Steelers to progress over time”, Brooks said yesterday about how he handled the quarterback position between Justin Fields and Russell Wilson over the first seven weeks of the year.
