Steelers’ Justin Fields Earns Major Praise From Former QB
PITTSBURGH — The Pittsburgh Steelers are heading into Week 5 with Justin Fields as the starter, even with Russell Wilson getting closer to 100% health. The team is starting to show plenty of faith in their “QB2,” and there’s a growing belief Fields is the closing in on securing the starting job for the remainder of the season.
His play is being noticed by everyone. And through four games, including a loss to the Indianapolis Colts, he’s been one of the most impressive players to former NFL quarterback Chase Daniel.
Speaking with NFL insider Diana Russini on the Scoop City podcast, Daniel called Fields’s play a “thing of beauty,” with each week getting more impressive.
“When I’m watching Justin Fields and this offense methodically move down the field, it’s sort of like a thing of beauty,” Daniel said. “Justin Fields is seventh in completion percentage, he’s ninth in total touchdowns, he’s 12th in passer rating in the entire NFL.
“You take a guy that was discarded in Chicago, and you put him in this offense and it’s not anything crazy. Arthur Smith is making [Fields] play within the game plan, and the game plan for them is run the ball, get in shotgun, the QB run games.”
Fields made Steelers history in Week 4, becoming the first quarterback to throw for 300 yards, rush for 50 yards and score three touchdowns. This season, he has thrown for 830 yards and three touchdowns, and rushed for 143 yards and three more scores.
There’s a sense Wilson could move to the backup spot this week against the Dallas Cowboys instead of being the emergency quarterback. And as Fields continues to impress, the Steelers could be getting closer to naming him the permanent QB1 and working Wilson in as the No. 2.

50 Leaders Give Their Rx for Pittsburgh Mayor Corey O’Connor, Pt. VII – Pittsburgh Quarterly
Mark Opitz, Managing Partner, Morgan, Lewis & Bockius Pittsburgh
Pittsburgh stands at a promising moment of civic reinvention, with an opportunity to build on its leadership in AI, robotics, and advanced innovation to create a more vibrant urban future. A key priority for the mayor could be strengthening confidence in Downtown by continuing its evolution from a 9-to-5 employment center into a mixed-use neighborhood that attracts workers, residents, students, and visitors throughout the entire week.
To advance that vision, the mayor should give consideration to public safety, cleanliness, and mobility, along with creative reuse of underutilized office space for housing, emerging companies, and cultural activity. Equally important is sending a clear, consistent signal that Pittsburgh welcomes investment and partnership. Regulatory predictability, efficient approvals, and strong collaboration among the city, employers, institutions, and neighboring communities can help align development with market realities. By pairing economic ambition with quality of life, the city’s leadership can position Downtown — and the city — as confident, innovative, and open for growth.
One of Pittsburgh’s biggest goals before hosting the NFL Draft was to modernize Market Square. It is just one of the spaces in the downtown area that is being transformed for the massive event.
