Pittsburgh Steelers lead trainer Mike Tomlin broadly has never recorded a horrible season during his residency that started back in 2007.
CBS Sports NFL examiner Pete Prisco accepts Tomlin’s streak will formally reach a conclusion in January 2025, thanks to some extent to the relapse of quarterback Russell Wilson.
“I don’t believe they will be awesome,” Prisco said about the Steelers during an appearance on the CBS Sports HQ streaming channel, per Josh Carney of Steelers Terminal. “I believe they will dominate seven matches, and I think when you take a gander at Russell Wilson, I believe he’s no great any longer. I’ll be straightforward with you, I think his greatest years are behind him.”
Others offered comparative remarks about Wilson before he marked a group well disposed arrangement to join the Steelers in Spring. That very month, Pittsburgh procured 25-year-old sign guest Justin Fields from the Chicago Bears for a restrictive 2025 6th round draft pick. Wilson appears to have an early lead over Fields in a “contest” for the beginning position.
“It would make perfect sense if Justin Fields took over as the starter in this group,” Prisco proceeded. “I believe they will battle tossing the football similar as they have for the several years.”
As per Supportive of Football-Reference, Wilson finished the 2023 ordinary season positioned 22nd among qualified players with a 50.7 changed QBR. Fields was 24th with a 46.1 QBR. Tomlin apparently trusts either Wilson or Fields will profit from playing in a run-weighty framework embraced by hostile facilitator Arthur Smith.
NFL Organization examiner Bucky Streams is among the individuals who figure the 2024 Steelers could vie for the division title after the club added hostile tackle Troy Fautanu, focus Zach Frazier and monitor Bricklayer McCormick to the program during the draft.
While Prisco accepts the Steelers will be “great on safeguard,” he questions Pittsburgh has a season finisher type quarterback.
“I simply don’t see a similar person [Wilson] any longer,” Prisco said about the veteran who procured nine Star Bowl gestures with the Seattle Seahawks from 2012-21. [The Steelers are] going to be more physical in the long run as they straighten that hostile line out, and they will figure the hostile line out … In any case, I actually believe they’re in an extreme division. Seven successes.”
