Pittsburgh Steelers: How Justin Fields Can Overtake Russell Wilson for QB1 Job, Revealed
After adding both Russell Wilson and Justin Fields in the offseason, the Pittsburgh Steelers haven’t officially decided on which of these two new recruits will be handling QB1 duties this coming season. At this point, however, it’s Wilson who appears to have an overwhelming advantage over his younger counterpart in terms of starting at center in Week 1.
Up and until anything is finalized, however, anything can still happen.
Pittsburgh Steelers News: Justin Fields’ Path to QB1
Based on reports coming out of Pittsburgh’s offseason, it is Wilson who is primed to be the starting quarterback for the Steelers once the new campaign starts. This isn’t a surprise at all considering what we’ve seen from these two quarterbacks in the past.
Then again, Fields still has a shot of potentially stealing away the job from Wilson. According to Mike DeFabo of The Athletic, Fields still has some time to turn the tide:
“Can Justin Fields make this a competition?
“Because right now, it’s not. Wilson has taken the overwhelming majority of meaningful reps, including on the final day of minicamp, when almost every veteran took off on what felt like the last day of school. Really, it’s hard to argue with this decision right now because Wilson has clearly been the better quarterback and has begun to take hold of the leadership aspects of the position,
“The major opportunity for Fields lies in preseason games. Because he’s still working on processing the game more quickly and his accuracy can be spotty, the former Bears QB doesn’t often shine in seven-on-seven situations. But once the pads come on and he can showcase his speed and athleticism, he’s a difference-maker. Although he’ll face an uphill climb to challenge Wilson for the QB1 spot on the depth chart, at least early, it’s worth remembering Fields might also be auditioning for his next job in the preseason.” DeFabo wrote.
As they always say, it’s never over until the fat lady sings. Moreover, even if Fields ends up as the backup QB in Week 1, this doesn’t necessarily mean that this will be the case throughout the season.
What you can say for sure is that Fields will get his chances for Denver.
