After the Pittsburgh Steelers preseason loss to the Detroit Lions, head coach Mike Tomlin was asked who would be his starting quarterback for Week One. Pittsburgh is taking on the Atlanta Falcons on the road and we will see former Falcons head coach and current Steelers offensive coordinator Arthur Smith take on his old team.
But Tomlin wasn’t ready, or perhaps a better term is wasn’t willing to name a starting quarterback this early. Tomlin said there is still plenty of Steelers vs Steelers work to do this week and he would name a starter at the end of the week.
While we appreciate Tomlin’s flair for the dramatic he’s not really holding us in suspense is he? After only having Russell Wilson play one drive in the team’s final preseason game and four total drives in the preseason, it’s hard to imagine he’s not the pick.
After the second week of the preseason, I asked Steeler Nation the same question and nearly 66 percent of you said Justin Fields. Cast your vote again and tell us if you changed your mind.
