Preseason games. Who plays QB??

Usually your starter doesn't play much. But this year there will be two high profile QBs that will have to carry most of the snaps. Make this preseason much more interesting no?

 

If they are serious about a qb competition, both wilson n fields need to be showcased exclusively. Unless our 3 stringer outplays both of them.

 

All of them

 

Kenny Pickett was really good in preseason. Guess that proves how utterly useless it is.

 

Perfect actually.

 

I'm not worried about who plays QB in preseason. Only Plumlee hasn't taken NFL snaps. OL and blocking schemes are more important to work on in live fire football.

 

I believe You can actually tell things from preseason. If you really think about it preseason didn't lie to us about KFP.....if He didn't have to read a D ...., and had His 1st read....He was good, and if He didn'tsee much zone. It was everything else that was bad, but if You go back, and watch....it didn't lie to us. I believe if We see R. Wilson play very little it will mean they've seen enough, and He will be the starter. JMO, bur I expect to see a lot of Fields, and His backup.

 

hope you get the reference!

 

@S.T.D Thought I might hear about that one from the powers that be. I gotta stop posting at night!!!

 

I predict RW plays very little. The job is his.

Fields will see significant time.

 

If the job is his, then I don't understand why he wouldn't start the 1st half in preseason games? Makes no sense to give Fields most of the snaps, he's only going to play during the season if Wilson gets injured. With a new team and system, Wilson needs reps with the projected starters way more than Fields does

 

They only have 1 starter, Russell Wilson.

 

Their isn't one.

Wilson is the starter will get more then a couple of snaps. Fields will work with the 2s and 3s then Allen.

 

He probably played against guys who didn't make the team.

 

Could we have Josh instead of Kyle Actually I'm pulling for Plumlee he is taller then Wilson Just goofing around but that name 'Plumlee" sounds like a winner.

Hell with Pickett to Pickens how bout Plumlee to Pickens.

 

Could be a few reasons for this.
1. R. Wilson has played along time, and while verbiage is different....there are only so many plays, and that can be worked out in camp.
2. He maybe our only legitimate Qb....hate to lose that in a preseason game.
3. They would like to see something out of Fields before making a decision on the future, and if R. Wilson holds down his end of the bargain.....the preseason maybe the only place to see Fields.

 

Sure, my comment of very little didn’t mean none at all. But I don’t expect him to play more than KP did last year or Ben did in his later years.

 

I hear what you're saying, working things out in practice is one thing, but working them out in a real game is quite another

No maybe about it, Wilson IS our only QB. All it takes is one play to end a guys season or even career, so I don't believe in "saving" a player in fear of him getting injured, even if he's your "new" 36 year old starting QB. It would be a different case with Ben of course, he knew the players and system like the back of his hand, so he could get away with less reps in preseason games. Wilson doesn't have that luxury

I actually wouldn't mind seeing what Fields could do as a starter, but the only way that will happen is if Wilson gets injured, or completely ****s the bed

 

Every report I read from OTAs on Fields was not flattering. He apparently struggled at every step.

 

Yeah, but that's the one responsible for the kielbasa. We're talking about the quarterback.

Pickett has a wife, so he obviously doesn't like the kielbasa.

 

I bet both Fields and Wilson will get adequate time. They will want to see Smith's offense in "games" and see how the QB's react to it. I would assume Fields plays a bit more than Wilson, as I believe he starts the year as the backup and we are trying to develop him anyways.... but there is no reason to treat Wilson like Ben. Give him some reps. Let him take a bit of command of the offense prior to the season and try to get him in mid-season form as quickly as we can

 

Without pads this is not a good sign.

 

Very measured response. Wilson is the starter. So perhaps Fields doesn't figure into the steelers plans for next year? This QB room still worries me
