God I wish Molly would just let them talk.
I wish they would let her talk 😂
@@Boobear-kk9mswhy? She provides nothing valuable.
I wish she’d never talk
That’s literally her job. To keep the show moving forward or they would talk an hour about one topic. Lol.
Molly needs attention 😢
It’s so annoying when Molly tries to explain something to one of them, when it’s like…really? Thanks for telling us the most obvious thing….and spewing overused clichés
Do you expect stat readers to know the game ?
She’s hot af though
Molly needs to stop acting like she’s part of the debate show. She’s the moderator, not a participant.
Yall must be geigh
@@Meneszoe agree she talk to much
Cari champion was the best, she barely said anything when it was her SA, and skip
The disrespect during international women’s month… it’s tv production with someone yelling in her ear how to move on, go to commercial, bring this up etc…
@@Bman32x it's not about man or woman. It's about debating and moderating.
Can Molly shut up for once?
No. The answer is no.
She wants to be a analyst and she is not!!!!
Please
😂😂😂😂😂
Agreed, she's there for her looks just sit there
Please let Molly go, she not it 😢
😂😂😂😂
Stephen A could be the host of this show similar to what Skip Bayless does at Undisputed.
Man I've been saying this in the comments forever espn doesn't care about it viewers if they did they would read the comments daily about how molly is ruining the show its painful to even hear her speak
I don’t know why she feels the need to interrupt and ask an irrelevant question every time
Been begging for years bro. I think she gonna sue if she get fired. That’s the only way because ain’t no way 😂
Molly needa Do some research on Steelers record against AFC North last year .
Now that you mention it, The Steelers did beat The Ravens will those Quarterbacks that they got rid of. And they did pretty well against The Browns and The Bengals with those Guys. And they will play a 3rd Place Schedule this Season. Don't worry, The Knicks will let Stephen A dow again come playoff time.
She honestly shouldn’t even be on here. Everything that comes out her mouth is straight bs and she doesn’t follow stats clearly. This is why u don’t include women in a man’s sport
I'm a diehard Steelers fan, and people need to STFU about their divisional record last year. WHO DID THEY PLAY AGAINST? They beat the Bengals back-up QB twice who's name I can't even remember, something Browning, and then Tyler Huntley who the Ravens just let walk. They won a game against Lamar at home the Ravens basically beat themselves, and then that crazy game against the Browns at home early in the season.
What I do see THIS year is a veteran QB and young talented back-up in an offense that's gonna be designed to their strengths. I see a great defense that's gotten even better with the addition of Patrick Queen (secondary remains to be seen).
I see the locker room cancer Diontae is gone, giving Pickens what he's been wanting. I also see most of the tough opponents this year are at home.
They always give my ravens problems lol
Always man
5:16 yeah hoe we know which division the Steelers play in. The same division they went 5-1 in last season. Now shaaaaaat up lol.
5 minutes in, I can’t do it anymore, Molly irks me 😂
Lmao 5 mins in I came back to the comments too. I miss Carrie champion. She knew how to just be a moderator
Molly inserts herself into a conversation. I didn’t realize that was in her job description
At least she not being EXTRA like Stephen Smith and big mouth sharpe!!!
The first 5 minutes Smith is the one that rambled but you're upset about Molly...lol okay.
@@Trea-pl4xrhim and shannon are the ones people want to hear from, not some dense broad that likes to hear self talk 😂
It’s baffling how ESPN does all these random firings yet Molly is still there….
She's on their most popular show
@@agag2684 if you had boobies, they wouldnt let you go either bud
Stephen A is prolly smashin that’s why
@@JWeezy57 he is or rumors came out about a year ago that they are dating.
There’s a reason Jalen Rose wants to run up on him lol
MOLLY SHUTUPPPPPP
😂😂
Forreal lmaoo the boys really into talking about this and she gotta cut them off for some dumb questions 😂
Pleaseeee 😂😂😂
She's the absolute worst
😂😂😂
Molly we would like to hear from the Steelers fan.
Molly shut up plzz 😂😂😂
“Promises are like pie crust, thin and easily broken!” 🔥🔥🔥
It's like Pittsburgh offense thin and easily broken
That was a bar!!!
Molly talking is the equivalent of an airhorn going off while you're trying to study in a library
I just can’t do molly
she's married to an NBA player, and that's really all she knows. She's so out of place next to SAS and Shannon
@@blutomindpretzel1735 bro her and J rose divorced quite a few years ago lol
I have no idea how she ever got married considering her medical condition. It sucks and it’s not her fault, but what guy would deal with that?
@jlondono7 guess her looks make up for it
@@Ivan-yq6ikit wasn’t that long ago but she leveraged it into a bigger role still
ESPN just can’t help themselves you have 3 professional men (Tomlin Russ Justin) no controversy Russ will start if he stinks Justin will play no drama neither of those guys are messy
They need views and headlines
Exactly and they def need to give them props for that.
And clicks @@MarvyG23.
I think there's a good chance that Fields can start if he outshines Wilson during OTA's and summer camp. They'll probably still let Wilson start during preseason for a game or two and then let Fields start the other game(s) just to cement their decision for the beginning of the season.
But for now you are correct, Wilson will be the starter because of the contract he's on for 2024. And since Fields is pretty much a younger, faster but less accurate version of Wilson, swapping them out for each other wouldn't change the game plan very much at all. We will see though my brother! All love
@@robg82031 Fields runs way too much. 2. He also can't throw. Compared to an NFL starter. 3. He can't play a full season. How can you rely on a guy like that?
Molly shutttt uppppp!!
To be fair Justin did not have an offensive line to protect him nor a good offensive coordinator to develop him.
It’s funny how they make Justin out to be trash as a Bear but somehow magically as a Steeler he’s a threat
Because the bears are in forever rebuild mode - what a joke of a franchise 😂😂
Lies. Bears had Coach Nagy when they drafted Fields.. The same offensive coordinator of the Chiefs that won the Superbowl this year.
@StueyJenkins facts 😂.. Fields is trash though.
@@StueyJenkins He's not a good QB.
Please cut Molly's mic off!!!!!!!!!!! For God's sake this is brutal
Been saying this for years
I think she funny. You just rude
@@dakotaconnor6101shut up simp
does Molly not understand you dont always have to play your own divisional teams in the divisional round, he literally said not the AFCN champs, winning the division and making it to the divisional round are completely different things
Stephen A. gave a great opening take. Justin Fields has time to learn and grow. Good take 🙏🏿
This is Field's best chance to gain respect from the rest of the league. He's an Atlanta kid but even his hometown team passed on him. He needs to make a statement in Pittsburgh and make all these other teams put respect on his name.
They didn't turn on him, the bears turned them down. Fields wanted the Steelers.
They wanted to make sure he went to a team where he can learn and start soon
The falcons pass on all the Georgia kids. It’s not just fields. They are terrified of having fans turn on a hometown kid and creating controversy.
*My boys are trying to become SERIOUS contenders AGAIN!!! The HATERS can say what they want, but in just a few months, the Steelers have ENDED the QB drama we were left with at the end of last year, picked up a veteran QB and his potential replacement moving forward!!! Fields could learn a lot from Wilson while he's there and also at a cheap price tag so that capital can go towards more possibly free agents!!! Plus, we've got the draft!!! As a Steelers fan, I'm already EXCITED about the upcoming season, and I haven't felt this way since the Killer B's!!! One thing's for sure this ISN'T the same OLE STAIL STICK IT OUT, Steelers, most of us TRUE FANS are used to PERIOD!!! GO STEELERS!!!*
Still need a QB
Gotta love Shannon's analogy..."promises are like pie crust, thin and easily broken".
Molly wants to be an analyst and she is not.
Soon as Molly learns her job, Stephen A. And unc gon be the best show on TV
Steelers went 5-1 in the North last season with Canada, Pickett, and Mason and that other guy. why these people need to be reminded of this? Steelers run the North. #HEREWEGO
Lol. Steelers don’t run the north.
Steelers definitely run the north, it's always been that way, and it always will be. It's ok to be mad though hater #SteelerNation@@youtubeistryingtocensorme
@@charlespulliejr.1987yes. They run behind the ravens and the browns
Took the words right out of my mouth.
@@charlespulliejr.1987 lol. Yeah ya’ll run it so well you got bounced out of the playoffs last year. And the Ravens basically handed you a playoff spot by playing their backups in the last game
GOD how doe Molly still have a Job?
ESPN is not letting her file a lawsuit against them
Diversity hire. Female and she's a redbone. Its a win win, for anyone but the listeners.
I was screaming at my tv saying Molly please be quiet. Now I’m watching the podcast and the comment section agrees with me 😂😂😂
A biblical journey is coming !
Go Steelers
sike...
😂😂😂😂😂
🖤💛💥
Let the church say Amen!!!!!!
Relax 😂 biblical is stretch😅
As a diehard Pittsburgh Steelers fan I’m loving this from the media. I’m loving how we came from a playoff team last year starting starting off at one and five and now we’re the most talked about team in the off-season I was talking to fellow friend yesterday who is a eagle fan that my Pittsburgh Steelers will be the Super Bowl this year
I normally can't stand Stephen A but there's something about Shannon that keeps him, I don't know, contained? And it works. Stephen A is obviously a smart man. Its nice being able to listen to him instead of tuning out the screeching...
They mesh really well with each other and it’s so much more fluid than when it was skip and Shannon. I think a lot of it has to do with A. Respect, B. The fact that Unc is a hall of famer so Stephen A knows for a fact that he knows his football lol
SMITH IS A VERY STUPID MAN THATS WAS HIRED AND DEFENDED BECAUSE OF RACE.
Its crazy how all last year Justin and Russ were dragged in the media but now they are both on the Steelers and its some momentus occasion smh. Crazy how that works.
I'm enjoying Stephen A. and Shannon S.
They sound like two brothers in the barbershop
molly be so abrupt lmao sheesh
I could go without Molly talking over Stephan A and Shannon sharpe for a minute straight.
At some point, SAS, you’d have to address this Molly issue!
Y’all notice everyone been changed around except Molly 😂 I ain’t gone say nothing but….
He’s still young and talented he will develop and be fine WATCH (coming from an Eagles fan 🦅)
Skip is a better moderator than molly, and that's a crazy statement i just made
Joy Taylor, was the perfect moderator on FS1. Never interrupted. It’s about knowing ur role-A moderator sets the table not engage/interrupt. She has an ego ESPN allows it
Yup
Joy should still be a moderator.
JF1 deserved better in Chicago with everything he did for the franchise. He wasn’t perfect, but he embraced the the city and carried an entire organization while a new front office decided to tank his 2nd year. With questionable coaching in places and a lack of talent elsewhere, he was still becoming better every season. Happy for the Steelers. As a Bears fan, I’m convinced they’re getting a future great QB in Fields.
he carried them to a solid what 10-30 record in the last 2 yrs
JF1 is gonna shine in the steel city...
@@jaysonsmith7264bears had ZERO talent , Stanford university would have beat them in a game
@@AY-jy4xfRight. Bears had no talent and vastly improved with Fields gone.
True!!!
Finally a QB we can build on!👍
Just so I know you’re not crazy, are you talking about Russ or Justin, because Justin ain’t ready, and it’s going to be a few years before he is.
@@DeCurtaRican Russ and Justin can learn from watching
So it's going to take him 7 years before he's NFL ready? Thanks for the laugh @@DeCurtaRican
Lets not forget they went 5-1 in the division with no qb play
Molly don’t even give Steven a enough time to finish I’m glad he kept going
Molly = me 😡
SAS, the fan is coming out on this take 😆 🤣
Great show to the three of you.
Heck of a move by the Steelers they in contention for super bowl every year now Tomlin here to stay finally got what he needed!
Russel Wilson is what they needed? lol That's great
Molly, Molly there is a Time and a place to interject an opinion. But make no mistake, the Talent is Stephen A and Shannon Sharpe!
Molly just be talking man lol.
Stephen A just be talkin and talkin and never ever shuts up!
Molly is trying to be Joy but Joy wasn’t a moderator she was a co-host. Jenny Taft was the perfect moderator. Kept the show on track and knew when to interject without constantly thinking she was part of the debate.
Ultimate big bro moment lmao hit SAS with the "yes or no" AND the look/tone combo 😂
Molly is so mf frustrating 😭😂
Shout out to the Steelers, for giving Justin Fields a restart to his career. Steelers y'all did right by the young man.
Yes they did!!! Da Bears ain’t about nothing although I didn’t want to see him leave us…I’m riding with the Steelers all the way to SB25 baby…YES!!!
@@twoniabrown447C Williams as a rookie will be better then Fields will ever be don’t jump back on the Bears bandwagon when Williams and this revamp offense is rolling
Best Stephen A take
Promises are like pie crust...thin and easily broken LOL🤣
it's an inevitable Media Circus alright in Pittsburgh.... smh 🤦🏽♂
If you have 2 QB's you have NO QB's - is the famous factual quote
@@sainttrunks1982Its already been said Russ is the starter and Justin is the backup. They have 1 QB and thats Russ
@@hey_its_brandenand both suck! Long season not worth watching for us Steelers fans 🤦🏻♂️
@@hey_its_branden Yeah, until he loses his first game for them, or has his first bad game. cmon you know how it goes.
Steelers were 5-1 in the division last year and are 7-1 in the last 8 against Baltimore
Good analysis Stephen A
Steelers are going to be a good football team and thank God that they finally got a good quarterback that can run and throw the ball. There will be a difference now I promise you.
He's a bit old to be running and why he doesn't anymore.
"hold on was he a free agent yes or no? OK thank you" 😂
I can't wait to see the debates during Football season
This made sense for both sides
They said the same thing about shroud not being able to read plays and he learned all off season. sometimes you just need a game manager who isnt going for high yards everygame
dont ever compare justin fields to cj stroud
You won't have to worry about yards with Fields. He's only thrown for 300 yards once in his nFL career.
Steelers has been cooking this offseason and we ain't done yet
“we”
bro thinks hes on the team😂😂😂😂😭💀🤡
Don’t matter how many moves yall make Yall still ain’t doing ish 😂
Signing Russ is cooking 😂😂
@@chaicemusicbro we from Pittsburgh are you dumb?
@@Mj-uz1nglmao 6 rings says otherwise. You can hate Steelers gonna win regardless it’s funny u waste ur life away hating it’s sad bro fr
i had the same reaction as Stephen A at 8:55
I can wait 🖤💛
The Steelers will win 12 - 14 games this season... I am not a Steelers fan, but I'm jumping on the bandwagon... Wilson and Fields are a Win-Win Situation...
Ain’t no way they win 12-14 games. I can’t see it with the competition within THEIR OWN division, let alone the entire AFC.
8-10 games
Let's come back to this BS during the season 😂
they might win 10. might
I think 13-3🎉
What has Deshawn Watson done? He's the fourth best QB in the AFC North
No he’s not
Lol...he's the 5th best....
DWat is still that dude. He’s hustling thrown off mentally due to the accusations.
3rd best. Neither Pitt QB is worth anything
Steven A said those EXACT same words the year we drafted Kenny and signed Mitch.
"SHANNON DON'T YOU LOOK AT ME LIKE THAT" 😂
😂😂😂😂
Bears you done F’d it up
Can’t argue with that.
Bears are the Worst and I mean the absolute worst at developing a quarterback. Worst EVER in the entire NFL.
I’ll not bad rap Williams even though I think he is overrated. Bears go 7-10 this season and Bagent wins 3 of the 7 games.
Defenses will be all over this kid.
Daniel’s is a better prepared quarterback for the NFL.
Should have kept Fields however I am thrilled that he’s with a class act of an organization and one that has 6 SuperBowl trophies 🏆
Name 1 QB that left their drafted team and left and became someone. The "develop" thing is stupid. Fields is not starting NFL QB> Anyone with a brain from ORD can tell you that @@patrickcunningham4316
Bears are getting franchise QB this year. Pitt still needs one
Eagles had a great off season so far n has 9 picks. Still might sign a safety.
It’s cuz it’s SAS fav team lol eagles are still in a better position team and division wise.
Eagles defense is terrible. Steeles are def in a better position. They normally run thru their division. Very rare they don't. Steelers have a better team all around. Only thing better in Philly is the RB & WR core & that can change with whoever Steelers draft @ WR. If the Steelers draft a awesome WR, they are def a better team.
@@MikkiChavezthis is a biased take bro, I’m as big of a Steelers fan as anyone, grew up full of eagles fans…eagles are a better team at QB, RB, WR, TE, OL and no matter who they draft or sign at WR, it won’t change
@@rapidz9379 no that's more bias than me. You not even mentioning defense & Steelers are MILES ahead. QB is equal or goes to PIT. RB is Eagles & WR could definitely fall to Steelers if they draft right. You don't make any sense. This team made the playoffs with the worst QB in the league. They upgraded tremendously & that makes the team that much better. Pickens & Brown are pretty much even. Dalls & Fryermuth are even. Oline is even. Steelers grab a good WR 2 they are def better than Eagles lol Let's say Troy Franklin goes to Steelers & is a MAJOR deep threat problem. Steelers would destroy Eagles head up lol
I just wanna see us in the playoffs
from a bengals fan this is excellent for fields, i think he has an upside but we will see if he shows up, the afc north will determine just how good he is, play well you keep playing if not.....
The talent potential Fields brings is crazy. Steelers are finally almost done rebuilding the offensive line, and almost don’t plugging up the holes on defense. The best situation for him to sit and learn from the Russell, in which you model your game after.
why would he ever want to model his game off russ
Potential is all Fields is ever going to have. Too slow to process and too slow to load up and deliver a football.
Hmm 🤔 another Green Bay or Williams fan I think !!
He does not model his game after Wilson. For you to say that means you've never seen Fields play.
He telling you the truth. Why not switch on a game and find out @@patrickcunningham4316
Molly looking hella spicy today in that outfit tho lol

They see athleticism and potential. I don't get the intensity of the feelings about him.
@@bobbymeade2099Bears fans don’t know what a good QB looks like.
The league has talked. If thats all you get is a 6th rounder for a starting quarterback i think the league just dont value Fields
@@robertbauman5079the bears were trying to fleece and nobody fell for it, ended up letting the Con-man(Omar khan) rob them 2 years in a row. Steelers stole 32nd pick last year and now Justin fields thanks in part to Omar the Khan-man
You wouldn’t be good either if your team never tried to help the offensive line
Fields showing he's the future, Steelers fans got something special brewing 🌟🏈 Exciting times ahead in Pittsburgh!
Fields will never be the future. He can't stay healthy long enough for it to matter
I like this pairing lowkey.
Fields is essentially another Trubisky, just faster
Are you crazyyy did you really just type this with confidence
The fact people have this narrative when fields has been spectacular and trubisky hasnt is wild.
@Ysoserious1. Facts
Trubisky stats were better than fields in Chicago. Look it up
@@nrg6245fields has not been spectacular 😂😂
Justin Fields is mid. He has like zero awareness and is bad at reading defenses

Yassss Unc! 🎉🎉🎉🎉
Molly is the reason i watch more of stephen As podcast and Shannans podcast far more than their show anymore
Hard Knocks please cover Pittsburgh this year!
I usually don’t say this but Stephen a smith PREACH
ESPN is missing Cari Champion....cause this clip right here ain't it!!!! The interruptions are ridiculous!!!
Raleigh Simmons coached by Fred Tex Winter. Molly is a beautiful person and she is still learning how to function with a Hall of Famer, Shannon Sharpe and Stefan is a great journalist so there is a place for her. She has to work just like everybody else. I don’t wanna see the one we get fired and lose her joy and the blessings the Lord has given to her.
I really like the idea of having two similar brothers at QB like, it's far too common when you have a running starting QB and a pure passer as his backup which doesn't make sense.
Teams that have pure passing QBs usually have very similar looking backups, so I am glad the Steelers have decided to TRULY commit to two relatively similar skill set QBs and they will really push each other to improve compared to those other programs where the next man up has nothing in common with the first man.
All I know is both QBs are ready to scramble/roll out on snap, this approach keeps the OLine able to prepare for a consistent and custom fit for the personnel blocking scheme.
That will reduce holding penalties and the Steelers are already well disciplined, but some of these other teams have had way to many good plays called back due to blocking scheme inconsistencies that likely come from practicing to protect multiple types of QB pocket styles. Steelers should be able to mold these two QBs to fit.
Sometimes upgrading your depth at a position is more of a significantly beneficial upgrade for the team than upgrading your starter at another.
Ive NEVER , and i mean NEVER, seen the AFC North this strong in all my life. Maybe in the 70's. I was yoo young yo remember, but this divion is stacked like NO OTHER.
If we made it to the playoffs with those QBs last season just imagine with Russel and Fields this season
Russ & Justin lead the league in sacks and turnovers sooooooooooo
1. I agree with Stephen. Russell Wilson is 35 he's the old guard who will eventually pass the baton to Justin Fields. Russell Wilson is an experienced Pro and JF is still a Rookie. The Steelers will have a good Starter and backup quarterback. There's something they both will learn from each other. Everything happens for a reason.
2. Also, I agree with Stephen that Caleb should finish college (discussed on another episode). One thing I admired about Justin Fields is, although he'd signed for millions, he still completed his college studies and received his Degree in 2023. Most athletes don't do that once they sign that contract and get those millions. Ijs.
3. OAN-- I believe when JF dared to express how he felt in the Bears' press conference in 2023 someone in the Bears upper, upper management (the Owners) did not like it. That's why he's no longer a Chicago Bears QB. I just hope they haven't blackballed him in the NFL. Management doesn't like it when you speak the truth. It happens in corporate America every day.
4. I believe they traded him to signal to other new, young players to never voice their concerns in press conferences. When JF expressed his personal feelings at that press conference he already knew what it would/could cost him. When you've already weighed the cost, and know what the consequences may be, you move forward with peace. I pray that he achieves much success in his future endeavors. He has a good presence with the news media. I like his spirit.
Ain't no way these guys still think Deshaun isn't the worst QB in the division.
"You know what division they're in right?"😂😂😂
Fields is just a modern Kordell Stewart. They ain't going anywhere, even with that defense.
Hmmmm....so are you saying that the Steelers haven't progressed to a place where they know what to do with this type of QB? I believe we can be successful with him.
lol Don't hold your breathe @@daddiesgurl1968
We was 5-1 in our division last year.
