The former Pittsburgh Steelers rival sends a warning to the young quarterback.
with Shannon Sharpe, Johnson made sure to send a warning to Fields, advising the Steelers quarterback to stay away from being a gimmick QB.
"I don’t like the gimmicky, using him in a role," Johnson said. "I don’t like taking out Russell Wilson and getting him off-track, off-rhythm when it comes to running an offense. … Allow Russell Wilson to take control of the helm and do what needs to be done on that team. "I understand he’s a dual-threat quarterback. He has certain things that he does very well. Obviously, he can throw the ball. Obviously, he can run the ball as well. I think Justin Fields needs to not allow them to make him somewhat of a gimmick with these special plays and stay true to yourself as a starting quarterback, which he will be next year for the Steelers. Don’t start that gimmicky stuff because they will see you and view you as just that, a gimmick.
Nothing has happened yet, but the team has the option to start including both of their passers in the offense - and there's a lot of time between now and the season to work something in.Noah is the Publisher for All Steelers, Inside the Panthers and Inside the Penguins , and is the host of All Steelers Talk .
