"It was enough to have some folks internally push for Fields to start. There was, too, plenty of merit to the idea Chris Silva Jersey . But the way it is now, again, to give yourself two shots, also makes plenty of sense."Breer did not reveal who specifically wanted Fields to start, but clearly whoever it was didn't have enough pull to stop Wilson from being named the starter.It always made sense to start Wilson from the jump. After all, he's the more proven, experienced option and Chris Bosh Jersey gives the Steelers the best chance to win, at least on paper.But that doesn't mean Wilson will keep the job no matter what.
