Though Rich Eisen surmises Russell Wilson will begin 2024 as the Pittsburgh Steelers starting quarterback, it doesn’t prevent a quarterback controversy. Or, at the least, the team exploring ways to get Justin Fields on the field. Opining about the Steelers’ quarterback situation on his Wednesday Rich Eisen Show, he believes Mike Tomlin will be peppered with questions about the “battle” all summer.
“Over/under on the number of days into training camp, Mike Tomlin will stare down somebody who asks him for an update on the quarterback competition race,” Eisen said.
Wilson is in “pole position” on the Steelers’ depth chart, the team’s current starter if the season began today.
