Who Should I Start? Russell Wilson or Joshua Dobbs

Pittsburgh Steelers head coach Mike Tomlin was non-committal on both quarterbacks Russell Wilson and Justin Fields for next season and talked about seeing who is available at the position on the outside. Both Wilson and Fields will become free agents in March, and the Steelers want to see what else is out there before committing to them for the 2025 campaign. Wilson said he'd like to return to the Steel City, but also acknowledged it's not up to him. The 36-year-old Wilson missed most of training camp and the first six games of the season with a calf injury but eventually returned and won six of his first seven starts before losing the final five games. The Steelers averaged 28 points and 372 yards of offense in his first seven starts but dropped to 14 points and 263 yards in five straight losses to close the year. Wilson said earlier this season that he wanted to play five to seven more years.

San Francisco 49ers quarterback Joshua Dobbs had a fantastic fantasy performance during a 47-24 loss to the Cardinals in Arizona. The 29-year-old backup to Brock Purdy (right elbow) completed 29-of-43 attempts for a career-high 326 yards, two touchdowns, and two interceptions. He added eight carries for 17 yards, including another touchdown on a sneak. His first touchdown throw was a six-yard dart just before halftime to rookie wideout Ricky Pearsall on a slant. Later, he hit a wide-open Kyle Juszczyk down the left side for a 36-yard score. Dobbs will be a free agent this offseason and comments made to the press on Thursday about Sunday's lone start of 2024 representing an "audition not only for the team that you're on, but for the other 31 other teams" make it seem unlikely he'll be back in Northern California next year.
