McFadden: Russell Wilson’s ‘Leash Should Be Lengthy’ As Starter, Even With Justin Fields Behind Him

When this offseason began, fans of the Pittsburgh Steelers were faced with the question of who they wanted to be the team’s next quarterback. Many people wanted either Russell Wilson or Justin Fields. GM Omar Khan decided he wanted both, and now the team has their best group of quarterbacks since Ben Roethlisberger retired. While that isn’t saying much when looking at the past few years, it still provides some cause for optimism.

However, there is an old saying about how if you have two quarterbacks, you really don’t have any quarterbacks. The point being, is that one player has to start, but because he has the other player breathing down his neck from the bench, there’s going to be conflict and neither man will be focused on playing their best on the field.
