Due to injury and ineffectiveness, Russell Wilson has not secured the QB1 job for Pittsburgh. And Justin Fields is gaining ground.
Justin Fields has made the Pittsburgh Steelers' quarterback situation into what coach Mike Tomlin is calling 'an incomplete study.' Tomlin was speaking, specifically, about evaluating Russell Wilson, Fields' direct competition. But it's fair to categorize the quarterback competition as such. For the past few weeks, Fields received help from Wilson, who has missed time with a calf injury. Wilson's absence from practice has opened the door for Fields.
'I definitely feel like I could've came down with that one,' Luther said, via Steelersnow.com. The Steelers didn't score a touchdown under either quarterback in the 9-3 loss to Buffalo. So it's not like either player was a revelation. That's the other layer to this quarterback battle: Fields hasn't done enough to take the job away from Wilson. 'We work to score touchdowns,' Tomlin said. 'We're just not going to be compromising in that regard.
