As the Pittsburgh Steelers' quarterback debate trends toward its (at least temporary) resolution, head coach Mike Tomlin has signaled his preference.
The debate between Russell Wilson and Justin Fields is not a debate between players with identical skill sets of varying proficiency. Rather, with both quarterbacks healthy for the first time this regular season, the Steelers are deciding whether they want to proceed with a 13-year veteran whose arm talent powered nine Pro Bowl berths or a younger, more highly drafted choice with a less-developed arm but more threat in his legs.
The decision between Russell Wilson and Justin Fields would not draw unanimous response from league decision-makers.
