If the Steelers go with Wilson to start the season and he struggles, the leash should be short. And we could see Fields under center sooner than later.
quarterback Justin Fields was drafted by the Chicago Bears to be the future of the franchise. After a failed experiment at quarterback before with North Carolina's Mitchell Trubisky, the Bears were ready to move on, and start over with Fields.got little help in Chicago with a lackluster offensive line and sub-par receiving corps. Now, Fields is in Pittsburgh, allegedly serving as the backup to veteran Russell Wilson.
Interestingly, Wilson has suggested that the Steelers could be a two-quarterback team, with Fields serving in a "slash" capacity, playing wideout and running the ball too. "Justin is obviously one of the most talented guys in the NFL,” Wilson said. “You know all the things he can do. The player, the quarterback that he is. He’s dynamic. It’s all about us winning. That’s the focus. I think it would strike fear in some defenses, that’s for sure.”
While there's no question that Wilson nearing the end of his career, while Fields hopes to begin is after a forgettable stint in Chicago, Wilson has the prior experience as a starter.
