In the last two weeks, we’ve seen the Pittsburgh Steelers work backup quarterback Justin Fields into the game plan on a limited basis. The results have been mixed but there is no denying that despite being benched, Fields brings a dimension to the offense that Russell Wilson cannot.
The Steelers currently sit at 8-3 and while they are in first place in the AFC North, their hold on the top spot is tenuous at best. With six brutal games left and the Steelers struggling in the red zone, we wouldn’t blame head coach Mike Tomlina nd offensive coordinator Arthur Smith if they chose to integrate Fields more into the offense, especially in the red zone.
Our vote is for Pittsburgh to use Fields more, with one caveat. If the Steelers want to put Fields out there more, it has to be more than just quarterback runs. If Fields doesn’t give opposing defenses a little more to think about, it makes his presence on the field more of a negative than a positive.
Cast your vote and let us know what you want to see the Steelers do with Fields going forward.
