For weeks, many in the national media debated over whom Mike Tomlin would start. Russell Wilson or Justin Fields. Despite those locally, and those who read this site, understanding the inevitable outcome. Fields would make plays this summer. His highlight tape would sizzle, his athleticism would excite, and the media would discuss who would start. But in the end, Wilson would be Tomlin’s guy to open the season.
Now, the media is speculating when Wilson will get benched. Sports Illustrated’s Conor Orr is counting down the days when the Steelers make the, in his mind, smart decision to start Justin Fields.
