PITTSBURGH — Part of me believes Mike Tomlin just wants to keep the ruse going, that he wants us to believe he ran the legit quarterback "competition" he promised, when he knew all along that Mitch Trubisky would be unchallenged.
But I have to admit, Tomlin's words — or word — on Monday gave me pause.
He was talking about how this week of practice and Sunday's preseason finale against the Detroit Lions, in particular, could decide multiple position battles. ESPN's Brooke Pryor asked if "starting quarterback" was one of them.
