When the Pittsburgh Steelers traded for QB Justin Fields in March, there were plenty of of mixed reactions. Some loved the move, others didn’t. So far in Fields tenure as a Steelers, those who offered a stamp of approval are looking smart.

Fields is 2-0 as a Steeler and has done a pretty good job of sustaining drives and taking care of the football. Although the offense is still struggling to score touchdowns, the blame for that does not fall all on Fields. Due to his dual threat ability Fields can extend drives and keep defenses guessing which has resulted in timely third down pick ups already this season.
