Even though the Steelers' plan was to start Russell Wilson to open the season, Ben Roethlisberger thinks Justin Fields should remain his old team's starting quarterback after a 2-0 start.
Ben Roethlisberger wants his old team to ride the hot hand at quarterback. The Pittsburgh Steelers legend believes Justin Fields should take his old job for the foreseeable future after the Steelers' 2-0 start, saying that Fields has 'earned' the right to keep the starting quarterback role. 'So far, I like what I've seen,' Roethlisberger said of Fields on his podcast, 'Footbahlin.' 'I like that he's getting into it.
' 'Would you like to see 400 yards, three touchdowns and one rushing touchdown? Of course, you would,' Roethlisberger said. 'But you know what else you're going to be happy with? You'll be happy with a guy right now that wasn't even really supposed to probably start this year, going 2-0, taking care of the football, making plays, sometimes out of nothing when guys are getting in.
