Many pundits have argued Justin Fields has played well enough to remain the starting quarterback of the Pittsburgh Steelers. But Fields doesn’t agree.
The 25-year-old signal caller plainly stated to reporters on October 17 that he didn’t do enough in the first six weeks this season to remain on the field.
“I don’t think I’ve played good enough, to be real with you,” Fields said, via Pittsburgh Tribune Review’s Chris Adamski. “If I’m being real with myself, I think if I did play well enough, I don’t think there would be any sort of who should be playing, who should not.
“At the end of the day, we got a few wins … But there’s areas where I can be better at, and I’m just going to continue to work on those and continue to get better.”

Steelers head coach Mike Tomlin has declined to say who will start at quarterback in Week 7 versus the New York Jets. On October 16, Tomlin told the media his decision “will remain in-house.”
But NFL Network’s Tom Pelissero reported before Tomlin even spoke in his October 15 press conference that Russell Wilson was “in line to make his season debut” during Week 7. Steelers left tackle Dan Moore then told reporters that Wilson began the week practicing with the first-team offense.
