There is an awful lot of chatter in the local and national media over the quarterback competition in Pittsburgh. Russell Wilson is three years removed from his best football at this point, and at 35 years old, many would like to see the Steelers roll the dice on Justin Fields with better long-term upside for the franchise.
Steelers insider Ray Fittipaldo was around the team a lot during Spring practices, and didn’t exactly offer a glowing endorsement of Fields entering training camp where offensive coordinator Arthur Smith suggested the QB competition could “heat up.”
“Fields, from what I’ve seen, they had a month of spring practices here and he’s a terrific athlete, but really the knocks against him that I heard coming in actually turned out to be true,” Fittipaldo said on Press Coverage via SiriusXM radio.
