The former Pittsburgh quarterback is worried this year is going to be reminiscent of the last two.
The quarterback competition seemed very reminiscent of the past two Steelers seasons' competitions between Mitchell Trubisky and Kenny Pickett. In 2022, coach Mike Tomlin named Trubisky the starter to open the season, but once he started struggling, Pickett replaced him. Fans booed Trubisky in his struggles and chanted for Pickett to start.
Former Steelers quarterback Ben Roethlisberger, who retired after the 2021 season, is worried this season could spark a similar crowd reaction if Wilson struggles, especially since"My concern is if Russ struggles, that Justin fanbase is going to start to kind of grow," Roethlisberger said. "We saw it last year. Mitch Trubisky was the starter. As soon as he starts doing bad, they're chanting for Kenny. And, then when Kenny struggled, they start chanting for Mitch.
If the crowd chanting unfolds as Roethlisberger is predicting, then it won't be anything new for the Steelers. The team has struggled to find a franchise quarterback since Roethlisberger retired. He was the team's starter for 18 seasons.Madison Williams is a staff writer on the Breaking and Trending News team at Sports Illustrated, where she specializes in tennis but covers a wide range of sports from a national perspective.
