Justin Fields says if he had played better there wouldn't be a question about whether he or Russell Wilson should start.
Quarterback Justin Fields says that if he had played better, there would be no debate about who should be starting for the Steelers. "I don't think I played good enough, if I'm being real with you," Fields said."If I'm being real with myself, I think if I did play well enough, I don't think there would be any sort of who should be playing, who should not.
"I think sometimes some guys are too hard on themselves," Smith said."... You appreciate it about him. That's why he works so hard, and nobody wants to be a martyr, but I mean I'm even guilty of the times. ... It's not ever as bad as you think, and sometimes you think you play well and you go back and say, 'Hey, we got to wait with a few things.'
"I want to be 6-0 right now, but it was a great opportunity for me," Fields said, asked if he got what he wanted out of his starts."Of course, I'm grateful for the opportunity. I did get those first six weeks, and we'll just see what happens this week." Fields said that no matter his role in Sunday's game, his preparation and approach aren't changing -- even if it means coming off the bench for certain packages.
"He just pushed me every day to get better as a quarterback, developmental wise," Fields said of Smith."Really just a person, too. I love Arthur. He knows that, and yeah, glad that he's our OC."
