Who will be the man behind center as the season goes along for the Steelers?<\/p>\n

As\u00a0Russell Wilson\u00a0gains ground on his injury recovery,\u00a0Justin Fields\u00a0is\u00a0getting good reviews from opponents. It\u2019s a big battle for the\u00a0Pittsburgh Steelers quarterback job. And an NFL Insider shared encouraging Justin Fields news on keeping the position even when Wilson returns.<\/p>\n

Sports Illustrated’s Albert Breer made the comments on The Rich Eisen Show. He said the Steelers\u00a0like what they have in Fields.<\/p>\n

\u201cThey love Justin Fields personally, I can tell you that,\u201d Breer said. \u201cThey really like coaching him, they really like working with him. I think you conversed with Justin some too, right Rich, he is a Steeler. I know that sounds weird for a guy who\u2019s been there for six months. But he really has the makeup and demeanor of a Pittsburgh Steeler. So he\u2019s fit in really well.\u201d<\/p>\n

Breer said it\u2019s not just about being liked. And Fields has his typically low QBR of 41.8 through two games. However, his completions are up with a percentage of 69.8. Still, he has just one touchdown pass and 273 total air yards.<\/p>\n

\u201cHas he played at an A+ level, no,\u201d Breer said. \u201cArthur Smith worked with Ryan Tannehill and basically resurrected Ryan Tannehill\u2019s career in Tennessee. I think they feel, and Arthur and his staff feel, like they could even do more with Justin Fields than they did with Ryan Tannehill. And they got to an AFC Championship game with Ryan Tannehill in Tennessee.\u201d<\/p>\n

The injury to Wilson came at the perfect time for Fields, who was slated to begin the year as his backup. But Fields stepped in and guided the Steelers to back-to-back wins.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe more chances Justin gets to improve week over week, the stronger the case becomes to leave him in there,\u201d Breer said. \u201cAnd I think there are some limitations to Russell Wilson\u2019s game at this stage that Justin Fields doesn\u2019t have.\u201d<\/p>\n

Steelers head coach Mike Tomlin said Fields has\u00a0helped his own clause\u00a0by competing and learning, according to nbcsports.com.<\/p>\n

\u201cHe loves to compete,\u201d Tomlin said. \u201cHe\u2019s got a quiet confidence about him. He doesn\u2019t change in environments. There\u2019s a clarity in his communication, in his response to communications. That\u2019s really comfortable.\u201d<\/p>\n

What are some of the down sides for Fields?<\/strong><\/h2>\n

Of course, Fields\u2019 completion percentage comes with taking fewer chances. Only 12 of his passes have gone beyond the sticks.<\/p>\n

\u201cThat\u2019s not only reflective of his capabilities and mindset, that\u2019s probably reflective of our mindset as a collective,\u201d Tomlin said. \u201cWe want to be aggressive in terms of going downfield, but we also want to be prudent because incomplete passes and things of that nature get you behind the sticks. We\u2019ve been in hostile environments through two weeks that we wanted to minimize.\u201d<\/p>\n

One thing to remember about Wilson is he signed for a minimum contract. The Steelers could let him go at any point. So if the Steelers keep winning with Fields under center, the future may not be in Pittsburgh for Wilson.<\/p>\n<\/article>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
