Simms: Russell Wilson’s Leadership Style Fell On ‘Deaf Ears’ With Steelers

This offseason, the Pittsburgh Steelers are dealing with issues under center. They’re having a tough time solidifying their quarterback room. Part of that might come from replacing that entire group for a second straight offseason. Last year, Russell Wilson was their starter for the majority of the season, and that led to mixed results. While Wilson started hot, he cooled off quickly. According to Chris Simms, Wilson’s leadership did not have a great impact in Pittsburgh, either.

“I know this: his ability to lead and talk to the players, it falls on deaf ears,” Simms said Wednesday on his Chris Simms Unbuttoned podcast.
