Warner: Russell Wilson Is Not A Conventional QB, Can He Carry The Steelers?

When the Pittsburgh Steelers signed Russell Wilson, the biggest question was what version of Wilson they were getting. Were they getting the Russell Wilson who won one Super Bowl and went to another with the Seattle Seahawks? Or were they getting the Wilson who struggled with the Denver Broncos? Most assumed the latter.

When Hall of Fame QB Kurt Warner joined the Pat McAfee Show on Friday, he talked about his impressions of the new-look Steelers quarterback room. A large part of that discussion revolved around Wilson.

“I think when he went to Denver, this was a combination of not only the Denver Broncos and their coach saying we want to get a quarterback that can play more conventional quarterback,” Warner said.
