Justin Fields' recent comments add gas to Steelers' QB clown show

What does it say about Steelers quarterback Justin Fields that he began the season 4-2 and could still be benched for a past-his-prime Russell Wilson?​

The Pittsburgh Steelers are in the midst of a self-inflicted quarterback circus, and it’s great news for the Baltimore Ravens. After a solid 4-2 start, the Steelers benched Justin Fields in favor of Russell Wilson, sparking confusion and frustration among their fans.

Fields’ candid comment, “I don’t think I played good enough,” might reflect his maturity, but it also exposes Pittsburgh’s indecisiveness.

This QB shuffle couldn’t come at a better time for the Ravens. As the AFC North race tightens, the Steelers’ ongoing quarterback drama could prove to be a blessing for Baltimore. Fields was keeping Pittsburgh afloat, managing games effectively, and taking care of the football.

Now, with Wilson, who is no stranger to recent struggles, set to start, the Steelers are essentially gambling with their season.

Pittsburgh Steelers QB circus is good news for the Ravens

The Ravens are thriving behind Lamar Jackson’s dynamic play and a revitalized offense, while the Steelers are floundering in a sea of uncertainty. Baltimore doesn’t need to worry about their biggest divisional rival putting it all together when they can't even decide who should start at QB.

Wilson may have the experience, but he’s far from a guaranteed improvement over Fields, who has been competent and poised. If the Steelers are willing to bench a young quarterback with a winning record, it only highlights how disorganized their coaching decisions have become.

For the Ravens, it means one less team to worry about down the stretch.

As the Ravens continue their push for playoff positioning, the Steelers' self-sabotage could make the path that much smoother. If Pittsburgh can’t get out of its own way, Baltimore may be poised to pull away in the AFC North, capitalizing on a rival that’s stuck in a QB clown show of its own making.

In short, Ravens fans should be thrilled to watch their bitter rivals implode with every misguided decision, knowing Baltimore is locked and loaded with a proven leader in Lamar Jackson while the Steelers spiral with uncertainty at the most important position on the field.
