‘Here we go?' Uh, where exactly are the Pittsburgh Steelers headed at QB?
‘Here we go?' Uh, where exactly are the Pittsburgh Steelers headed at QB?
After another one-and-done season, the Steelers turn to... Russell Wilson and Justin Fields at quarterback. This is a song we've heard before.
Yet again, the NFL has barrel-rolled through the headlines. News breaks, takes fly, everything else is suddenly Page-B7 obsolete.
This time, the Pittsburgh Steelers’ quarterback makeover usurped “Selection Sunday” because debating Justin Fields’ worth — a sixth-round pick?! — was immediately more juicy than weighing the NCAA Tournament merits of the Indiana State Sycamores.
Football reigns supreme.
Out is Kenny Pickett, Mason Rudolph and Mitchell Trubisky.
In is Russell Wilson and Fields
The team needed to do something. Can’t recall a legion of fans turning on a playcaller to this extreme. “Fire Canada” chants weren’t reserved for football games alone, no, the locals screamed these two words in booming unison at the Pittsburgh Penguins’ hockey home opener inside PPG Paints Arena on Oct. 10. You know, two days after the Steelers improved to 3-2 with a comeback win over the Baltimore Ravens. Mike Tomlin was loyal to a fault. By the time Matt Canada was fired, it was too late to salvage an offense gone astray.
Change has arrived.
