The Steelers Locker Room Ready To Riot Over QB Switch To Russell Wilson?
I don’t care what anybody says. Mike Tomlin is a total idiot for benching Justin Fields in favor of Russell Wilson. By the way, legendary signal-caller Ben Roethlisberger agrees with me.
Guess who also agrees with me?
The Steelers locker room and apparently they’re ready to riot over this bone-headed decision.
“This is a decision that has not been made yet,” Breer said on “The Rich Eisen Show” on Wednesday. “I know some people there that feel like Tomlin is gonna take this thing to end of the week and really take a hard look at it.”
“Every indication I’ve got is the people in that building love Justin Fields. Coaches, players. There are a lot of folks in that facility that do not want Mike Tomlin to go away from Justin Fields right now. They feel like Fields is representative of what they are as a football team, helps them in the running game. No, he’s not perfect as a passer, but he’s doing plenty and he’s going to keep better and he has improved week over week … There are a ton of people in that place right now that feel like Russell Wilson would limit them on offense in a way that Justin Fields does not, which I think is a big part of the reason why so many people there just wish that Tomlin would stick with Fields.”
What more needs to be said? By the way, nobody respects Tomlin. The guy is turning into a cheerleader. Tomlin is trying to keep the switch to Russell Wilson quiet and George Pickens doesn’t care just letting the cat out of the bag.
Time will tell how this whole thing pans out but if the Steelers lose to the Jets this week, Tomlin will hear plenty of criticism for making this switch despite being in first place in the AFC North.
