“Justin Fields had a very, actually good begin of preseason. Both of these guys may take the job proper now, seize onto it and be the starter,” Rapoport mentioned. “The truth that that has not occurred shouldn’t be nice. … They don’t have a solution but, not that they received’t, they only don’t. This is also shaping as much as be a scenario the place the Steelers may find yourself, sooner or later through the season, enjoying each of those quarterbacks if one doesn’t stand out.”
