Steelers must-watch players in opening preseason game vs Seahawks

Mitch Trubisky must look like the starter for Steelers he is set to be

Despite the Steelers having so many different options at quarterback, the clear-cut favorite in the room to start week one is Mitchell Trubisky. While not viewed as the long-term solution, Trubisky was paid to transition this team to their next quarterback. He comes with plenty of flaws, but he also has traits that you can live with at quarterback.

Unfortunately, his inconsistencies have been on display during training camp as opposed to his star power. For every good play he makes, he ends up with an equally bad mistake. With the money already committed to him though, he will still likely start come week one unless he proves to be a complete disaster.

Seeing how he looks in the initial preseason action will be important. While it may not overly impact his standing with the team, seeing him look competent in the first preseason game will go a long way in making the team more comfortable with him this season. On the flip side of things, if Trubisky looks lost, the team may be forced to reconsider some of their options.
