NFL analyst has surprising prediction on Steelers quarterback situation image

Pittsburgh Steelers training camp, beginning on Wednesday, July 24, will be must-see television for NFL fans and media personalities.  The Steelers have acquired two QB1s, Russell Wilson and Justin Fields from other teams, allowing them to compete for the starting position this summer. 

Though Wilson is the perceived frontrunner, NFL analyst (and former backup quarterback) Chase Daniel has an interesting prediction.  

Daniel thinks that Fields will be on the field sooner than fans expect.  Does that equate to Fields taking over the starting position from Wilson?  According to Daniel, that is not necessarily the case.  

 

He believes the Steelers' offensive coordinator Arthur Smith will design a package of plays for Fields.  Daniel says that Fields is too dynamic to go underutilized.  He also acknowledged that by virtue of Wilson's age and how he has played the last two seasons in Denver, his best performances could be behind him.
