Mark Schlereth Says Mike Tomlin Will Have Losing Season ‘Based On The Two Guys Who Play Quarterback’

Despite the Pittsburgh Steelers’ on-paper upgrades at quarterback, replacing Kenny Pickett and Mason Rudolph with Russell Wilson and Justin Fields, Mark Schlereth believes the additions will be a net negative. And lead Mike Tomlin to the worst season of his career. Schlereth came down hard on the team’s quarterback plan on his “The Stinkin’ Truth Podcast.”

“Just based on who’s playing quarterback, Mike Tomlin is going to have his first losing season this year,” he told co-host Mike Evans. “Based on the two guys who play quarterback for him.”

His biggest concern is the long snap-to-throw times Wilson and Fields have had throughout their career.
