Is Steelers' Russell Wilson 'washed," or just 'meh'? Does Arthur Smith's offense fit in modern NFL?
On the Wednesday episode of the North Shore Drive podcast, presented by Mike's Beer Bar, host Christopher Carter welcomes Aaron Schatz, FTN Fantasy's chief analytics officer, to break down the Steelers' advanced metrics. What do they say about whether Russell Wilson and/or Justin Fields can be upgrades at QB over what the team had with Kenny Pickett, Mason Rudolph and Mitch Trubisky? Is Wilson washed up at 35? Or just more ordinary than earlier in his career? And is the run-based offense he'll be running under new coordinator Arthur Smith a proper fit with the pass-heaviness of the modern NFL? Our duo tackles those topics, then breaks down whether the defense's additions of LB Patrick Queen, S DeShon Elliott and CB Donte Jackson in NFL free agency and trades will be enough to keep the unit ranked in the top 10 this coming season.
