Steelers waiting to name QB1, Lions look, Mike Florio

The PM Team w/Poni & Mueller - A podcast by Audacy

The Steelers are one of the only teams remaining in the NFL that have no announced their starting QB for Week 1. Does Russell Wilson have to impress in this last preseason game to win the job? We looked more at Bo Nix, who will start the season for the Broncos and the Steelers will face him in Week 2. Do people think Sean Payton will work better with the rookie than he did with Wilson? Are the Lions the team the Steelers want to be? Oh, how times have changed. The Steelers have lost just twice to the Lions since 1970. Mike Florio from Pro Football Talk joined the show. Mike thinks it’s a no-brainer for the Steelers when naming a starting QB – Justin Fields. He thought there was a greater sense of excitement when Fields was in the game on Saturday. He thinks the legs and the other aspect Fields can add makes all the difference. Mike talked about being hoodwinked by the Steelers offense last preseason and how he views the exhibition games. Mike thinks there is something missing with Russell Wilson and his game. What does Mike think of the latest with Brandon Aiyuk and how the 49ers can handle their other big-name players?
