On today’s edition of The Jason Smith Show with Mike Harmon, Jason and Mike react to Russell Wilson sitting out during training camp and how head coach Mike Tomlin and the Steelers are NOT built for this starting QB controversy chaos inevitably brewing.
Jason Smith: "Mike Tomlin has not had to deal with a real quarterback controversy his entire career, right? The only time he's been changing quarterbacks when there's no pressure at the team is not playing well. We got Pickett. We're gonna go back and forth between him and Mason Rudolph and who knows? He's never had to worry about it because when the team was good. There's no controversy. But now he's going to deal with something every day and, you know Mike Tomlin. He is not up for this. By signing Russell Wilson and then by bringing in Justin Fields, you created this and he thinks that all I can keep it and he is gonna be done with this in a week before they even play a game. He is gonna melt down. He is not going to. He's going to have enough of this. And this is not going to be a smooth summer."
Mike Harmon: "It's a great career and and take nothing from it, but at some point you're still trying to win Super Bowls, right? And so by bringing in Russell Wilson, by bringing in Justin Fields, the expectation is, “We've now vastly improved our quarterback room.” But in theory you should have been able to do that with one guy instead of two, right? Eventually, there's unrest and chaos."
