Flip flopping because of a win. I hate it. Pick a side and stay there !!! I trust the guy with 16+ yrs at the same job ,in same location and is “well compensated” 😂. In Coach T I trust
I came home from Germany just to see Steelers vs Seahawks in fall of 21 and I thought after that tie game "why don't we go after Russ". Well, finally. Ocho Cinco got it right and said what I had been thinking was the best fir for him and the Steelers. Let ride and HERE WE GOOOOO!!
I knew the moment i saw russ calling those cadences making those d line men jump making adjustments on the fly i knew our offense got what it was lacking no disrespect to justin but thats what he was missing
Eat Crow Haters!!!🤣There was never a competition, Tomlin said the QB1 was finally healthy! And he Let Russ Cook! The O was so balanced! Pickens was out there blocking yo! It speaks to Tomlin & Russ' leadership + Russ' command & pedigree, even after 11+ months, the future HOF QB said hold my beer! Rusty Russ made Steelers history!!! Just eat crow. Eat it!!!!! Russ is gonna teach Justin a lot, hope he takes notes, can't wait to see him in 2 to 3 years. Justin might be scary!
I am so glad to see the Steelers come out and got the win (that is all that matters in the NFL). However lets not say that Russell is the savior all of a sudden. Many of the deep passes were under thrown and GP bailed him out. That one handed catch by Muuth was amazing. If one of those catches does not happen, would that have killed the momentum. I am excited to see this team put up 37 but is this a team that can beat the Ravens. The team looked different than with Justin and that is exciting but I need more games to see how this team moves forward against potential playoff opponents.
He hasn’t played in almost 1 yr. Him and Pickens planned some of those throws. Pickens told him just to throw in area and trust him to make play. I don’t think Russ will ever be Seattle Russ. However if you get 65-75% Russ Steelers will be contenders
@@SamsP.O.V-hd7rb I do not disagree, I am just tampering my expectations. There is a lot of hype after that game but look how bad that dropped pass by Austin killed all momentum for a couple of drives. If those big plays do not happen does the same thing happen? I just know that we have the Ravens 2 times and the Chiefs once on the back half of the schedule. I hope Russ is the answer but for me the jury is still out. This next game against the Giants should be another good one to step up and knock some more of that rust off.
You’re saying russ got lucky. Russ wasn’t under-throwing passes, he was placing them where only his receivers would see them and get to them. It’s called knowing your receivers. People think Russ is getting “lucky” when he isn’t. He’s been doing that sh!t since he came into the league. He has a good rapport with Pickens and the other receivers, so he knows where to place the ball, when to release it, what velocity to put on it, and what arc/trajectory to put on it. He just has incredible arm talent. I’m just tired if all the excuses given to JF! Yo his credit, he admitted that he just wasn’t good enough! He knows what’s been going on in practice, and so do the other coaches and players. They all knew Russ was the guy. JF is still young enough where we can talk about his potential, but he has an opportunity to learn from a HoF QB. He had better milk it. Geno did, and look at what he’s doing now.
People still doubting Russell Wilson after 13 years is MAD. People just never learn. He was one of, if not the, best for a decade. He led the league in TD passes with terrible O-line and worst rushing attack in the entire NFL. What other QB could even dream of getting close to that? Then he had the worst coach in the league, followed by a coach that despised him (still put up great numbers) and all of a sudden the haters get new air. Jeez. Learn from the past. Never doubt Russ again. He was never bad or washed. There is a media narrative, and there is a reality. The reality never changed despite all the clown-talk about him. He has always been elite.
Russ just responds differently to adversity than other QBs. Think about what has happened with Russ over the past three years. Russ was injured in two of those years (2021 and 2022) and playing fit sh!t teams all three of those years. Yet he still put up good numbers in two of those seasons (2021 and 2023) and nearly got both teams into the playoffs despite missing three games in 2021 (only being healthy for 9 of the 14 gages he played in), and being benched by a coach who was clearly trying t tank for draft position in 2023. In fact, the Seahawks hadn’t been a truly good team since 2013 if we’re keeping it 100. Russ had to drag them into the playoffs every year after that first SB, but only Seahawks fans seem to know and (if objective) admit this. For example… Here are Russ’s 2023 rankings with a coach sabotaging him by keeping the playbook closed, no run game, ONE reliable receiver, an inconsistent at best O-Line, and a horrible defense: #1 in 4th Qtr comebacks (4) #1 in Game-Winning Drives (4) #2 in Adj. Completion Rate (78.8%) #2 in TD% (5.9) #4 in Completion Differentials #5 in TD-INT Ratio (26:8) #7 in Passer Rating (98.0) #8 in QB Rushing Yards (341, 15 games) #9 in TDs (26) #9 in INT Rate (1.8) #10 in INTs (8) #11 in Completion% (66.4%) According to Sports Info Solutions (SIS), Russ completed 6 passes of 40+ air yards past the original LoS (for 301 yards), good for #1 in the NFL. 4 of those 6 went for TDs. The 2 that didn’t were drops by his WRs. He attempted 16 such passes, 10 of which were deemed on target and none of which resulted in an INT…0 INTs! Russ also had a 47% QB rushing first down rate (JF!/ was 37%) and finished the 2023 with a 7-3 record after Sean Payton threw 5 of the first 6 games before benching him in week 16. During that stretch, Russ led the Cronus to wins over the Broncos’ 5 toughest opponents in the process. He currently has the NFL’s longest active TD streak with 20 straight games with at least one e TD pass. That means the streak started after the incompetent Nathaniel Hackett was fired in 2022! Games 14-17 (2022) Games 1-15 (2023) Game 7 (2024, Pittsburgh) I’ll drop the mic for now, but there’s more where that came from! 🎤
Just an FYI Ramone, I never said Russ was below average for 3 years. I said Fields was. I think you are mixing up your replies, but great stats anyways. Some of which you pulled from my comments. Haha
Listen I like listening to You Guys "Some Times" BUT Please Understand The ONLY People Who Didn't BELIEVE What BOTH Field's and Wilson would bring NEVER Really Went and Watched Them Play and If They Did They Obviously have No Clue of what they were looking at. It takes Less Time to Go See Wilson's Or Field's Tape and Their Team Tapes to See What People are Talking about is Credible Or NOT. Do Your Homework Folks or just Sound like NERDS. In "OUR" Sport of ALPHA Minds There is No Doubts and Fear. Wrong Sport! YOU didn't Know because You Cared about the Negatives Over what was the Positives or Better Yet The TRUTH! Russ Can't Throw 26 TDs for a Team that didn't want him and they Win 9 Games almost Playoffs and Be WASHED. Sounds DUMB even from Dummies. Sean Payton will get FIRED after this season for his B.S. You Kids these days are so SOFT and Worry about things there are Answers for because You Don't Go Looking for them THEN You Go and Make Yourselves look Silly by Spreading That Narrative and False Information. You Want Players and Your Team to do Better. How About You and The Fans DO BETTER! These Guys Give EVERYTHING for YOU Folks Why Can't You Reciprocate Whatever Little Bit You Can. God Knows That Maybe to much to do just the Right Thing. Thank God Parents don't support their kids with these lessons. Russ was Chosen to Help Kenny and Now Justin.. Instead of selling Hate and Separation Try Selling Support and Unity. Make Your Money RIGHT!!

If you are a 9 time pro bowler and lead 2 yeams to Superbowls you can be significantly better than a QB that was below average for 3 years and then passed for 184 yards a game. Fields did a nice job and kept the team afloat which is what a good back up does.

Alot of people are underestimating The Ravens. Steelers have a good record vs Baltimore however now they have maybe the best Duo ever in Lamar Jackson & Derrick Henry . The #1 Offense in NFL
@@Moneylinez1 thats what makes it fun cause the ravens are always good against the rest of the league but those ravens steelers games always go down to the wire
Different year same conversation... "Number 1 offense, number one is rushing, number one defense". Then come playoff time they get embarassed and suddenly "lamar has no weapons, defense is terrible, this team is just lamar"...
If the Steelers average 23.0 ppg on offense...and its hard to score 20+ pts on the defense. Yeah, they have the possibility to contend. They put up 37 pts and they dont have a WR2. They also were missing Zach Frazier...the oline will get better with chemistry. It's much more possible that this team is a contender than not. Hopefully, they can stay somewhat healthy after Frazier and Herbig come back
Funny how fast fans are willing to jump off players. Herbig comes in on spot duty in pass rush packages and makes some plays then all of a sudden Highsmith is trash and we should trade him. Then we played the Colts and they almost exclusively ran at Herbig and away from Watt. He isn't stout enough yet to stuff the tackle and constantly set the edge. That's why TJ was so happy to have Alex back. Alex was rock solid every time the Jets tried him. Fields is great and still growing but Russ is more advanced for us now. With these deep passes now on film, watch how the boxes get lighter and lighter. Now for every one that trashed Najee, get your popcorn ready.
Pump the breaks. Afc north is going to be tuff. But if we think 🤔 russ is beating k.c masterpiece i dont think so. K.C ,RAVENS, BILLS. WE Gotta get ov er them humps ? Playoffs, playoffs playoffs? Man im just trying to win a game. It was the jets ?
Russell did exactly what I SAID HE WAS GOING TO DO! And this was the best move because Fields is very close to being a good QB. He just needs to sit behind a veteran for a year at least and gain some small traits Russ possess and he doesn't. The team itself is not a bad team and just needs a veteran like Russ at this time with those small traits to gel and meand together. Justin is behind Russ, looks at him as a mentor and is cool with the process if you listen to his comments in the situation.
Oh and Noah You Do Realize That Russ Beat Ben TWICE.. Ben Never Beaten Russ.. 😉👍 Remember THAT.. If You ACTUALLY Followed and Watched Russ You Would have Easily Known Why They Got Russ.
Exactly let's not forgot the offensive line was playing like trash.. I watched all the games.. the supporting cast was tripping on a few plays..good everybody pitched in for the jets.
@@Boozeblues i get that but thats clutch in my opinion and shows poise but maybe not. either way russ was the right decision i could tell when he was doing checks at the line thats something we havent seen since big ben and im happy about it. I just want everyone to not bash justin like he was doing bad he was doing what we asked of him just his deepball wasnt there he would bullet pass it
My man, JF was playing easy opponents. The Steelers would easily be 7-0 right now if Russ hadn’t been injured, and Russ would be in the MVP convo. JF isn’t nearly as good as Russ, and anyone who can’t see that doesn’t understand football. Russ just responds differently to adversity than other QBs.

Fields is a talented running Quarterback, but he can't throw the ball accurately on the run. Wilson is not a good runner, but he can throw accurate throws while scrambling.
STOP being prisoners of the moment. A 55 % completion percentage rate with every deep ball to GP being under thrown. Not to mention the four times tipped completion (pure luck) and one PI. Also the great one hand catch by Muth on the overthrow. All with three of the Jets starting DB’s not playing and both starting safeties out by the end of the game. This is not a knock on Russ; but it is a realistic evaluation of what we saw on Sunday night.
Those balls weren’t “under-thrown.” There were several balls dropped right in the bucket, and he moved beautifully in the pocket and completed a wraparound side-arm pass to the left flat that no QB besides a younger Rodgers or Russ (or Mahomes) could have completed. In one notable case he had to virtually over-throw a ball to Friermuth to ensure that only Friermuth had a chance to catch the ball. I notice that the Steelers’ WR’s and TE’s don’t get separation. Those “under-thrown balls”were strategically thrown that way! Russ saw that Pickens could get the look on the ball that his defenders could not. That’s what a savvy VETERAN gives you. Pickens and every other receiver/TE were covered like white on rice, and Russ placed the ball perfectly every time! What you saw wasn’t Russ’s arm not working or his being bailed out by his receivers; you saw Russ doing some very subtle things that no other QB can do. He makes passes that other QBs cannot. But JF fans’ cognitive dissonance will not allow them to accept that Russ can still ball and that JF isn’t the guy, so they’re playing a Jedi mind trick on themselves. They have to find SOMETHING to discredit the performance. Let me ask you this: how many QBs would’ve dive what Russ did after being booed by their own fans? THAT is part of what makes Russ so special.
Russ would have torched that defense regardless. You saw that he was willing to throw right at Sauce Gardner. Only one DB ever came close to making Russ pause, and he was Russ’s own former teammate: Earl Thomas. His side-to-side coverage ability could confuse QBs and did so to Russ in practice several times early in his career, which is partly why Richard Sherman got to eat so much. Thomas could shut down a lot of the field and bait QBs into going deep and falling right into Richard Sherman’s trap. Other than that, Russ goes right at the best DBs and almost always wins the battle. So Sauce Gardener wouldn’t have posed any threat to Russ even if he had covered Pickens.
Russ just responds differently to adversity than other QBs, whether it’s bad or overrated coaches, injuries, bad teammates, media slander, or ungrateful, impulsive fans booing him. Think about what has happened with Russ over the past three years. Russ was injured in two of those years (2021 and 2022) and playing fit sh!t teams all three of those years.

So are we the cowboys now, we say superbowl contenders? Cause that's what I'm starting to here after one game where the whole team didn't shit the bed and they bailed out there qb.
Only oeople that did not see Fields play all the time in Chicago thought he was good. They watched a few ESPN highlights and were confused by his running and him putting up fantasy points. Field running is good for fantasy football, but is not a winning formula if his passing is well below a starter or most backups.
JF can become a good, even great QB, but he needs time. The smartest move he and the Steelers could make would be to stay together for 2025 and 2026, with JF being QB2 the whole time. In 2027, Russ walks away and turns over the keys to JF. If JF insists on starting in Pittsburgh it leaving, it will be all about the Linet, and we will know that he doesn’t see the big picture. Make him the highest-paid QB2 in NFL history and keep him. The money he will make on his next contract will more than compensate for his lost bag this time around. He wants to get to that $50-60M per year level, but he’s not worthy of that type of contract. Pay him $25M for three years with an opt-out after two. See how it goes. I believe the Broncos owe Russ another $40M for next year too, so Russ can play for vet minimum next year. They can afford both QBs that way. Russ should be willing to continue playing for $40M or so even if this is his last Broncos payday, which is essentially his Seahawks contract, flipped to the Broncos since they rehearsed him, opting out of the rest of that $252M. So far, the Broncos have paid Russ $125M for two seasons. Bless America! 😂
@@DeCurtaRicanI guess anything is possible, but I'm not seeing it. Fields so far has proven to not be able to lead a 2 minute drive. 2 4th quarter comebacks in 44 games.
Pickens didn’t bail out Russ! Russ put the ball where Pickens and ONLY Pickens could get it! That’s called TOUCH!!! Russ has been doing stuff like that for years. Pickens can’t get separation, so Russ knows how to feed him. He’s a jump-ball receiver. The only difference between Pickens and DK is DK’s speed. Russ just has a knack for knowing how to feed different receivers at the right time. Therms why so many average receivers look good playing with him.
Russ plays BETTER against tougher teams than he does poor teams. That’s a fact! It has been his pattern his whole career. That’s why he has sometimes inexplicably lost games he should’ve won. Hes the type of guy who needs pressure, and there was plenty of it Sunday night. That’s why he rebounded and had a great game. It’s interesting how this “it’s just one game” bs wasn’t spouted when a far less reliable QB in JF was coming away with wins.
I think they know there going to win the super bowl the NFL is rigged AF let's face it and Rus has been a damn good guy for the NFL and I think there gonna send him out a champion and I'm all for it let's go even if it's gifted to us it will make up for the 2 AFC title games we got robbed out of
The man is a walking golden jacket! I'm not expecting less off top... This is a great franchise! This is like when Kevin Garnett went to the Celtics after playing 14yrs for trash. It's championship or bust! The veterans went and recruited him Noah. Your journalism is slippingly bias if you thought Justin fields was better. We all might wish he was with that God given talent Justin has but man, Russ is proven.
Noah, you're a liar bro. You did not want Russ. You said he was washed and I was infuriated. Because the little kids & grown babies in the chat said the same things... The analysts on tv said the same thing. But the Denver tape from last said something completely different. He made the weapons Denver have now look great. My mind plugged our offense into that situation and said with a better coach on top of that, we are Superbowl bound with the type ofmdefense we play around here.
Exactly. Nobody should have been surprised by the Jets game or calling Russ washed. 4 comebacks and game winning drives, 26/8 98 passer rating is not washed. All people had to do is watch Russ,' 2023 highlights on TH-cam and they would have seen he had multiple games like Sunday's last year. With the horrific defense it is amazing Denver was anywhere near the playoffs last year.

There is a lot of hype after that game but look how bad that dropped pass by Austin killed all momentum for a couple of drives. If those big plays do not happen does the same thing happen? I just know that we have the Ravens 2 times and the Chiefs once on the back half of the schedule. I hope Russ is the answer but for me the jury is still out. This next game against the Giants should be another good one to step up and knock some more of that rust off.
@@SamsP.O.V-hd7rb65-75 percent? It’ll be at least 90 percent if not better. Better organization
You’re saying russ got lucky. Russ wasn’t under-throwing passes, he was placing them where only his receivers would see them and get to them. It’s called knowing your receivers. People think Russ is getting “lucky” when he isn’t. He’s been doing that sh!t since he came into the league. He has a good rapport with Pickens and the other receivers, so he knows where to place the ball, when to release it, what velocity to put on it, and what arc/trajectory to put on it.
He just has incredible arm talent.
I’m just tired if all the excuses given to JF! Yo his credit, he admitted that he just wasn’t good enough! He knows what’s been going on in practice, and so do the other coaches and players.
They all knew Russ was the guy. JF is still young enough where we can talk about his potential, but he has an opportunity to learn from a HoF QB. He had better milk it.
Geno did, and look at what he’s doing now.
@@DeCurtaRican a double catch by GP, a single hand catch by Muth. Yes he got lucky.
Russell has earned his stripes, Justin has a great future, and he needs to be developed, and he will be the next Michael Vick no doubt about it
People still doubting Russell Wilson after 13 years is MAD. People just never learn. He was one of, if not the, best for a decade. He led the league in TD passes with terrible O-line and worst rushing attack in the entire NFL. What other QB could even dream of getting close to that? Then he had the worst coach in the league, followed by a coach that despised him (still put up great numbers) and all of a sudden the haters get new air. Jeez.
Learn from the past. Never doubt Russ again. He was never bad or washed. There is a media narrative, and there is a reality. The reality never changed despite all the clown-talk about him. He has always been elite.
Russ just responds differently to adversity than other QBs. Think about what has happened with Russ over the past three years.
Russ was injured in two of those years (2021 and 2022) and playing fit sh!t teams all three of those years.
Yet he still put up good numbers in two of those seasons (2021 and 2023) and nearly got both teams into the playoffs despite missing three games in 2021 (only being healthy for 9 of the 14 gages he played in), and being benched by a coach who was clearly trying t tank for draft position in 2023.
In fact, the Seahawks hadn’t been a truly good team since 2013 if we’re keeping it 100.
Russ had to drag them into the playoffs every year after that first SB, but only Seahawks fans seem to know and (if objective) admit this.
For example…
Here are Russ’s 2023 rankings with a coach sabotaging him by keeping the playbook closed, no run game, ONE reliable receiver, an inconsistent at best O-Line, and a horrible defense:
#1 in 4th Qtr comebacks (4)
#1 in Game-Winning Drives (4)
#2 in Adj. Completion Rate (78.8%)
#2 in TD% (5.9)
#4 in Completion Differentials
#5 in TD-INT Ratio (26:8)
#7 in Passer Rating (98.0)
#8 in QB Rushing Yards (341, 15 games)
#9 in TDs (26)
#9 in INT Rate (1.8)
#10 in INTs (8)
#11 in Completion% (66.4%)
According to Sports Info Solutions (SIS), Russ completed 6 passes of 40+ air yards past the original LoS (for 301 yards), good for #1 in the NFL. 4 of those 6 went for TDs. The 2 that didn’t were drops by his WRs. He attempted 16 such passes, 10 of which were deemed on target and none of which resulted in an INT…0 INTs!
Russ also had a 47% QB rushing first down rate (JF!/ was 37%) and finished the 2023 with a 7-3 record after Sean Payton threw 5 of the first 6 games before benching him in week 16.
During that stretch, Russ led the Cronus to wins over the Broncos’ 5 toughest opponents in the process.
He currently has the NFL’s longest active TD streak with 20 straight games with at least one e TD pass. That means the streak started after the incompetent Nathaniel Hackett was fired in 2022!
Games 14-17 (2022)
Games 1-15 (2023)
Game 7 (2024, Pittsburgh)
I’ll drop the mic for now, but there’s more where that came from! 🎤
Just an FYI Ramone, I never said Russ was below average for 3 years. I said Fields was. I think you are mixing up your replies, but great stats anyways. Some of which you pulled from my comments. Haha
It was great to actually see the deep pass and the run game effectively
It was better play calling also
Listen I like listening to You Guys "Some Times" BUT Please Understand The ONLY People Who Didn't BELIEVE What BOTH Field's and Wilson would bring NEVER Really Went and Watched Them Play and If They Did They Obviously have No Clue of what they were looking at. It takes Less Time to Go See Wilson's Or Field's Tape and Their Team Tapes to See What People are Talking about is Credible Or NOT. Do Your Homework Folks or just Sound like NERDS. In "OUR" Sport of ALPHA Minds There is No Doubts and Fear. Wrong Sport! YOU didn't Know because You Cared about the Negatives Over what was the Positives or Better Yet The TRUTH! Russ Can't Throw 26 TDs for a Team that didn't want him and they Win 9 Games almost Playoffs and Be WASHED. Sounds DUMB even from Dummies. Sean Payton will get FIRED after this season for his B.S. You Kids these days are so SOFT and Worry about things there are Answers for because You Don't Go Looking for them THEN You Go and Make Yourselves look Silly by Spreading That Narrative and False Information. You Want Players and Your Team to do Better. How About You and The Fans DO BETTER! These Guys Give EVERYTHING for YOU Folks Why Can't You Reciprocate Whatever Little Bit You Can. God Knows That Maybe to much to do just the Right Thing. Thank God Parents don't support their kids with these lessons. Russ was Chosen to Help Kenny and Now Justin.. Instead of selling Hate and Separation Try Selling Support and Unity. Make Your Money RIGHT!!

If you are a 9 time pro bowler and lead 2 yeams to Superbowls you can be significantly better than a QB that was below average for 3 years and then passed for 184 yards a game. Fields did a nice job and kept the team afloat which is what a good back up does.

For me ceiling hasn’t risen but at 5-2 and with other teams losses in AFC I am 95% sure we will make the playoffs. Then we will see
Alot of people are underestimating The Ravens. Steelers have a good record vs Baltimore however now they have maybe the best Duo ever in Lamar Jackson & Derrick Henry . The #1 Offense in NFL
@@Moneylinez1 thats what makes it fun cause the ravens are always good against the rest of the league but those ravens steelers games always go down to the wire
Different year same conversation...
"Number 1 offense, number one is rushing, number one defense".
Then come playoff time they get embarassed and suddenly "lamar has no weapons, defense is terrible, this team is just lamar"...
@@Nobody-su9km lol
If the Steelers average 23.0 ppg on offense...and its hard to score 20+ pts on the defense. Yeah, they have the possibility to contend. They put up 37 pts and they dont have a WR2. They also were missing Zach Frazier...the oline will get better with chemistry. It's much more possible that this team is a contender than not. Hopefully, they can stay somewhat healthy after Frazier and Herbig come back
Funny how fast fans are willing to jump off players. Herbig comes in on spot duty in pass rush packages and makes some plays then all of a sudden Highsmith is trash and we should trade him. Then we played the Colts and they almost exclusively ran at Herbig and away from Watt. He isn't stout enough yet to stuff the tackle and constantly set the edge. That's why TJ was so happy to have Alex back. Alex was rock solid every time the Jets tried him. Fields is great and still growing but Russ is more advanced for us now. With these deep passes now on film, watch how the boxes get lighter and lighter. Now for every one that trashed Najee, get your popcorn ready.
Pump the breaks. Afc north is going to be tuff. But if we think 🤔 russ is beating k.c masterpiece i dont think so. K.C ,RAVENS, BILLS. WE Gotta get ov er them humps ? Playoffs, playoffs playoffs? Man im just trying to win a game. It was the jets ?
Russ has owned mahomes since he has been in the NFL even last year check it out don't take my word go Steelers fan since 72
Its just one game
Russell did exactly what I SAID HE WAS GOING TO DO! And this was the best move because Fields is very close to being a good QB. He just needs to sit behind a veteran for a year at least and gain some small traits Russ possess and he doesn't. The team itself is not a bad team and just needs a veteran like Russ at this time with those small traits to gel and meand together. Justin is behind Russ, looks at him as a mentor and is cool with the process if you listen to his comments in the situation.
Oh and Noah You Do Realize That Russ Beat Ben TWICE.. Ben Never Beaten Russ.. 😉👍 Remember THAT.. If You ACTUALLY Followed and Watched Russ You Would have Easily Known Why They Got Russ.
I remember that game....Russel Wilsons 14 Ben Roethlisbergers 7.
Also, Russell has beaten Mahomes and Aaron TWICE!!
I loved how russ played n hope he can keep it up but yall acting like justin field’s didn’t put up a similar statline against the colts
Exactly let's not forgot the offensive line was playing like trash.. I watched all the games.. the supporting cast was tripping on a few plays..good everybody pitched in for the jets.
Those were playing from behind stats. Its not comparable
@@shaquille26able facts this is the third game with the same olineman justin wa splaying with different olineman every game
@@Boozeblues i get that but thats clutch in my opinion and shows poise but maybe not. either way russ was the right decision i could tell when he was doing checks at the line thats something we havent seen since big ben and im happy about it. I just want everyone to not bash justin like he was doing bad he was doing what we asked of him just his deepball wasnt there he would bullet pass it
My man, JF was playing easy opponents. The Steelers would easily be 7-0 right now if Russ hadn’t been injured, and Russ would be in the MVP convo.

Why couldn’t we use both quarterbacks in different scenarios and just win games and be happy
I think that’s the plan. But Russ is QB1 and needs to settle in.
Fields is a talented running Quarterback, but he can't throw the ball accurately on the run. Wilson is not a good runner, but he can throw accurate throws while scrambling.
So you are saying bigger upside than with Russ. Makes sense.
STOP being prisoners of the moment. A 55 % completion percentage rate with every deep ball to GP being under thrown. Not to mention the four times tipped completion (pure luck) and one PI. Also the great one hand catch by Muth on the overthrow. All with three of the Jets starting DB’s not playing and both starting safeties out by the end of the game. This is not a knock on Russ; but it is a realistic evaluation of what we saw on Sunday night.
Those balls weren’t “under-thrown.” There were several balls dropped right in the bucket, and he moved beautifully in the pocket and completed a wraparound side-arm pass to the left flat that no QB besides a younger Rodgers or Russ (or Mahomes) could have completed.
In one notable case he had to virtually over-throw a ball to Friermuth to ensure that only Friermuth had a chance to catch the ball.
I notice that the Steelers’ WR’s and TE’s don’t get separation.
Those “under-thrown balls”were strategically thrown that way! Russ saw that Pickens could get the look on the ball that his defenders could not. That’s what a savvy VETERAN gives you. Pickens and every other receiver/TE were covered like white on rice, and Russ placed the ball perfectly every time!
What you saw wasn’t Russ’s arm not working or his being bailed out by his receivers; you saw Russ doing some very subtle things that no other QB can do. He makes passes that other QBs cannot.
But JF fans’ cognitive dissonance will not allow them to accept that Russ can still ball and that JF isn’t the guy, so they’re playing a Jedi mind trick on themselves. They have to find SOMETHING to discredit the performance.
Let me ask you this: how many QBs would’ve dive what Russ did after being booed by their own fans?
THAT is part of what makes Russ so special.
Russ would have torched that defense regardless. You saw that he was willing to throw right at Sauce Gardner. Only one DB ever came close to making Russ pause, and he was Russ’s own former teammate: Earl Thomas.
His side-to-side coverage ability could confuse QBs and did so to Russ in practice several times early in his career, which is partly why Richard Sherman got to eat so much. Thomas could shut down a lot of the field and bait QBs into going deep and falling right into Richard Sherman’s trap.
Other than that, Russ goes right at the best DBs and almost always wins the battle.
So Sauce Gardener wouldn’t have posed any threat to Russ even if he had covered Pickens.
Russ just responds differently to adversity than other QBs, whether it’s bad or overrated coaches, injuries, bad teammates, media slander, or ungrateful, impulsive fans booing him.

Nobody bailed out Russ, 🤡
just stop
Buh bye Rodgers you ARE washed 😂
Hokd the L
Only oeople that did not see Fields play all the time in Chicago thought he was good. They watched a few ESPN highlights and were confused by his running and him putting up fantasy points. Field running is good for fantasy football, but is not a winning formula if his passing is well below a starter or most backups.
JF can become a good, even great QB, but he needs time. The smartest move he and the Steelers could make would be to stay together for 2025 and 2026, with JF being QB2 the whole time. In 2027, Russ walks away and turns over the keys to JF. If JF insists on starting in Pittsburgh it leaving, it will be all about the Linet, and we will know that he doesn’t see the big picture.
Make him the highest-paid QB2 in NFL history and keep him. The money he will make on his next contract will more than compensate for his lost bag this time around.
He wants to get to that $50-60M per year level, but he’s not worthy of that type of contract.
Pay him $25M for three years with an opt-out after two. See how it goes.
I believe the Broncos owe Russ another $40M for next year too, so Russ can play for vet minimum next year. They can afford both QBs that way.
Russ should be willing to continue playing for $40M or so even if this is his last Broncos payday, which is essentially his Seahawks contract, flipped to the Broncos since they rehearsed him, opting out of the rest of that $252M.
So far, the Broncos have paid Russ $125M for two seasons. Bless America! 😂
@@DeCurtaRicanI guess anything is possible, but I'm not seeing it. Fields so far has proven to not be able to lead a 2 minute drive. 2 4th quarter comebacks in 44 games.
Why is everyone going crazy? If Pickens didn't bail Russ out you would be saying all Russ,s passes were short.
Pickens didn’t bail out Russ! Russ put the ball where Pickens and ONLY Pickens could get it! That’s called TOUCH!!! Russ has been doing stuff like that for years. Pickens can’t get separation, so Russ knows how to feed him. He’s a jump-ball receiver. The only difference between Pickens and DK is DK’s speed. Russ just has a knack for knowing how to feed different receivers at the right time. Therms why so many average receivers look good playing with him.
Slow your roll! When Steelers beat a real team they will be contenders. Jets are not a good team.
Russ plays BETTER against tougher teams than he does poor teams. That’s a fact! It has been his pattern his whole career. That’s why he has sometimes inexplicably lost games he should’ve won.
Hes the type of guy who needs pressure, and there was plenty of it Sunday night. That’s why he rebounded and had a great game.
It’s interesting how this “it’s just one game” bs wasn’t spouted when a far less reliable QB in JF was coming away with wins.
JF will be fine. Now Russell Wilson has answered the Steelers question...he's the starter. Coach T is chasing something. PS4L 757Steelerman
I think they know there going to win the super bowl the NFL is rigged AF let's face it and Rus has been a damn good guy for the NFL and I think there gonna send him out a champion and I'm all for it let's go even if it's gifted to us it will make up for the 2 AFC title games we got robbed out of
The man is a walking golden jacket! I'm not expecting less off top... This is a great franchise! This is like when Kevin Garnett went to the Celtics after playing 14yrs for trash. It's championship or bust! The veterans went and recruited him Noah. Your journalism is slippingly bias if you thought Justin fields was better. We all might wish he was with that God given talent Justin has but man, Russ is proven.
Noah, you're a liar bro. You did not want Russ. You said he was washed and I was infuriated. Because the little kids & grown babies in the chat said the same things... The analysts on tv said the same thing. But the Denver tape from last said something completely different. He made the weapons Denver have now look great. My mind plugged our offense into that situation and said with a better coach on top of that, we are Superbowl bound with the type ofmdefense we play around here.
Exactly. Nobody should have been surprised by the Jets game or calling Russ washed. 4 comebacks and game winning drives, 26/8 98 passer rating is not washed. All people had to do is watch Russ,' 2023 highlights on TH-cam and they would have seen he had multiple games like Sunday's last year. With the horrific defense it is amazing Denver was anywhere near the playoffs last year.
