The Pittsburgh Steelers made it official Wednesday, naming QB Russell Wilson as the team’s Week 1 starter. For some, it was as obvious as the sun rising in the east every day. Others thought that Justin Fields acquitted himself well with the unexpected opportunity of Wilson being sidelined with a calf strain through much of training camp.
Now, the Steelers face two main questions about the quarterback position. Will Wilson win them games and will Fields see the field much in 2024?
“You’re dealing with two quarterbacks who get sacked more than any other in football,” ESPN’s Ed Werder said when asked how long Wilson will be starting in Pittsburgh on First Up on TSN 1050 Thursday morning.
