The former Steelers coach laid out a game plan for Mike Tomlin for the 2024 season.
Pittsburgh Steelers coach Mike Tomlin will need to make an official decision soon about who his starting quarterback will be in the 2024 NFL season between Russell Wilson and Justin Fields.
Former Steelers coach Bill Cowher doesn't believe Tomlin should count Wilson out after his latest performance, though. Cowher is confident the Steelers should stick with the veteran quarterback as the starter at the beginning of the season.. "Justin Fields, if he starts as the second guy, have a package of plays. If all of a sudden you need a spark, something to get your offense going again, put him in. If you have to take Russell out, he's been there before.
Cowher also talked about limiting the expectations of Fields so he can feel more confident in his position whenever he's ready to go."If I'm Mike Tomlin I would start the season with Russell Wilson..August 19, 2024 The quarterback decision has been a big storyline all offseason as the Steelers restarted with a brand new quarterback room after losing Kenny Pickett, Mitch Trubisky and Mason Rudolph from last year's roster. The team went through a similar scenario with Trubisky and Pickett in 2022, as Trubisky began the season as the starting quarterback until Tomlin chose to go with the first-round pick Pickett in Week 5.
Tomlin has just a few weeks to make his official decision about the quarterback before the team's Week 1 matchup vs. the Atlanta Falcons on Sept. 8.Madison Williams is a staff writer on the Breaking and Trending News team at Sports Illustrated, where she specializes in tennis but covers a wide range of sports from a national perspective.
