Tomlin isn’t the problem with the Steelers. Saying he is requires a belief the Steelers should have won more than 10 games this season. But the frustration from Steelers fans is valid.
Russell Wilson, who started 11 games for the Steelers this season, finished 14th in the NFL in passer rating, 26th in QBR and 15th in adjusted net yards per attempt. Justin Fields, who started the first six games, ended up 19th, 27th and 25th in those three statistics.
