Steelers insider believes Russell Wilson's takeover is imminent
Everyone can agree that Pittsburgh’s offense is simply not good right now. The issue with the offense is what fans consider debatable, as some argue the blame should lie with Justin Fields, while others argue it is the lack of playmakers in the wide receiver room. Fields has shown flashes of greatness, but he has also shown a tendency to fumble the football, while also showcasing his poor decision-making.
Steelers insider and reporter for the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette, Gerry Dulac, wrote an article that highlighted the inevitability of Russell Wilson getting his shot to start for the offense.
Dulac stated: “The Steelers wanted a quarterback the other team would fear when the game is on the line, the way Tomlin feared what might happen against Prescott. Which is why, at some point soon, Tomlin will make the decision to switch to Wilson”.
It is hard to argue that Wilson isn’t far more reliable to win games, and it is also difficult to make the case to continue to ride the hot hand of Fields, who at this point has grown cold.
