Despite leading the Pittsburgh Steelers to a 37-15 win over the New York Jets on Sunday night in his season debut, quarterback Russell Wilson still faced criticism and concerns from several fans and analysts. The same game also sparked a debate about who should be the starting quarterback for the Steelers between Wilson and another QB.
Steelers rumors have been swirling around about the team’s quarterback situation, and the recent performance of both quarterbacks has added fuel to the fire. Insiders have revealed that ‘most’ within the Steelers organization initially felt that another quarterback gave the team a better chance to win than Russell Wilson.
However, after Wilson ’s 3-touchdown performance on Sunday night against the Jets, some people within the organization are reassessing their stance on the quarterback situation. The question remains whether Wilson can maintain his form throughout the season and lead the Steelers to a successful campaign.
Wilson’s performance on Sunday night was outstanding, as he went 17-26 for 235 yards with two touchdowns and no interceptions. His passer rating for the game was a respectable 114.1, which will do well to silence some of his critics.
Despite Wilson’s strong performance, there are still many people within the Steelers organization who are divided about the quarterback situation. Insiders close to the team have revealed that some coaches and front office members are still undecided about who should be the team’s starting quarterback going forward.
The Pittsburgh Steelers will look to build on their win against the Jets when they take on a tough opponent in their next game. It will be another opportunity for Wilson to prove himself and show that he can lead the team to success.
Only time will tell if Wilson can maintain his form and win over his critics within the Steelers organization. However, for now, he has done well to answer some of the questions surrounding his ability to lead the team to victory.
