Please pass whatever you are smoking !! We got ELITE PLAY from Fields?? Offense was ranked #18th overall under Fields who had the #2 Defense playing for him. Fields didn’t even put up 30 pts as QB come on man stop with Fields.
In all fairness playbook was obviously conservative to say the least when it came to fields…. I honestly want to see our QBs go no huddle f the playbook let’s see who can adapt and make something happen because obviously our play calling is suspect
Russell Wilson was selected to another Pro Bowl in 2024, doesn’t this means he is still a top 10 QB? He has played in 2 Super Bowls and won 1, has combined Super Bowls passer rating of 116.8 with TD-Int ratio 4-1, has 130 combined wins, he is a 10 X Pro Bowler with 5 legitimate MVP caliber seasons, has > 50K combined passing yards and 377 combined passing TD’s with < 6500 passing attempts, has career TD-Int ratio > 3-1 and a passing rating of ~ 100, has ~ 6K combined rushing yards and 34 rushing TD’s. Russell Wilson’s spectacular passes, Houdini like escapes, and poised 4th quarter comebacks and game winning drives are entrenched in our memories. His highlights reels are unbelievable and epitomizes a complete QB. Russell Wilson has started in 199 regular season and 17 playoff games. Experience, ability to throw accurate deep balls, and glimpses of vintage Russell Wilson this season proves Russell Wilson could still be an elite QB. Regardless of how loud and repetitive the haters are with their lies and innuendos, Russell Wilson we saw this year can win another Super Bowl.

@@LS_LeeIf you think Fields is a legit QB you don’t know ball. Unlike Darnold, Geno, and Baker Fields was never a pocket QB. That was never his strength. Only pocket QBs breakout late in their career. Fields fans are delusional.
We couldn't draft a future QB in Ben's last couple years because of his ego. We tried with Pickett, lost a couple seasons with that. Russ/Fields/Smith all in first year together with young o-line, not a failure the way "fans" think. Running it back with a few changes, guys coming back from injuries, draft class, may be best option. Target a 1st rd QB nextyear.
Hey Deke, 10 and 3 did happen. I get it, the way the season ended really sucks. But Russ beat the bengals, beat the ravens, beat the commanders. You're talkin bout the Bears, and they were like 5 - 12. Havin exciting things to talk about doesn't make you a contender. We need weapons, period.
Deke, dude you’ve become so negative I can’t even finish your videos anymore. You used to be optimistic and a voice of positivity for Steeler fans. You moping about the how the season finished is ridiculous. No team other than the Chiefs make it out of the AFC lately. The Ravens and Bills are in the exact same spot as us. Out of the playoffs. Cheer up. Let’s look forward to this free agency and the draft.
@@davidmccright3764exactly only the chiefs & eagles actually won they conference & only one gone bring home a ring . I always tell people look how good the 49ers been the last six years & they last Super Bowl win was in 95 or 96
But what are your qualifications to judge the Steelers? I want to go back to the years where the team was legit terrible and finished in next to last place every year. Maybe you all wouldn't be so ungrateful for what you do have.
My case for JF this off-season has always been that Russ's style wasn't a great a fit (he's obviously had the much much better career), JF is going to cost 1/3 of what Russ will, & neither is going to win anything significant this year, so they might as well use that difference in salary to continue building out an offense that has many holes. Russ has had a great career. I think he got too much crap in Seattle. Before there was a possibility of him being a Steeler, I said the game of a 5'11" guy who relied on athleticism, play making instincts, & arm talent to be elite, instead of quick processing/getting the ball out fast, probably doesn't have a game that will age well. His regression has been linear, unfortunately. A cumulative EPA well below JF for this season kind of echoes that. I respect if you disagree with any of this, but this is the perspective of most JF guys.
@@Justin_Watson23 That's fine if you're willing to risk a losing season with an unproven QB. The Steelers are not going to waste the little time they have left in the careers of the likes of Watt and Heyward. I don't know who they will go with, but I think they will go with the guy who gives them the best chance to win now. BTW that stuff about JF's EPA is just wrong. Neither were great, but Russ ranked 23rd and JF 25th.(cf " Steelers QB Breakdown: Making The Case For BOTH Justin Fields & Russell Wilson To Be QB1 In 2025")
Im all in to see what Fields can do for us the next few years. I want to see what he brings to the table. Watch the dudes highlights he lights up the field when he plays. Hes a humble dude and People like him! I doubt we will find a qb who will win us a superbowl by 2025 so why not enjoy our season and see what this kid has for us? Wilson is washed and i believe Fields has a lot of untapped potential.
22:00 one problem with what you said, Art Rooney himself said which ever QB we sign, he wants a backup with the same style, it’s almost like if we sign Russ, they are going to want Jalen bc of this.
One thing I remember from the two super bowl wins I saw was veteran leadership in skill positions. Hines Ward and Bettis led much more disciplined position rooms. Right now that's Najee and George. They're kids still, no offense. Derrick Henry went to waste with Baltimore but he was a beast. A solid pickup for Baltimore. We need to see the team pick up a solid WR1, and a QB that can hit intermediate routes; not just moon ball or check down. The defense is there already IF the offense pulls their weight. Then they're there. This OL needs the extra year, they're young as well. Let's see some unpredictability. Win in the trenches again. An offense worth 28-35 pts per game with this defense would be scary good.
3:05 we have Fields & hopefully GP, mark my words, Steelers want Fields, Fields just needs to agree to what the Steelers are offering which hopefully is enough but I think Fields will bc he already said he wants to be here. Take what’s given this year Fields, be the starter, prove yourself & become the Franchise & then the money will come rolling in
Im a raiders fan but i do like the steelers i remember the rivalry between the two iconic franchises there in my opinions got te best logos and uniforms in sports
It basically comes down to grabbing the quarterback you want in the draft, no matter where he’s at. You move up to get him just like the Chiefs did to get Mahomes 2017
They need another legit WR, a legit NT, and another DB that can play man with JP Jr. We're not going to get that transcendent QB. But there are ways we can make it further.
Tomlin prefers a high floor and doesn't care if the ceiling is an inch higher. That perspective will win you games, but never be competitive against the elite teams that invested in their high ceiling players.
I don't get it. You are really talking down the QBs at the senior bowl, saying they were inaccurate passers and OK runners, and didn't show enough. Yet you continue to talk up Justin fields as a possible savior, when he exhibits the same things you didn't like about the Senior Bowl QBs. The team needs a total reworking, starting with coaching and reassessing every position to rid itself of the mediocrity.
That brutal gauntlet schedule at the end of the season wore the team out,rookies hit the wall ,pass rush was non existent ,etc.Not an excuse but it didn't help.
& everybody was crying about that stretch from jump played all six of our division games in 8 weeks plus played the two teams that’s in the bowl right now 😂😂 like come on yall
We need pickens to play like an elite receiver consistently. Zero targets to pickens in the entire first half! Zero targets!!!!!!! I don't remember AB going an entire half no targets. Come on man
If Riley Leonard is available in the 5th round I would love to take a flyer on him. He is a gamer and has a live arm and is a physical runner! Sign Justin Fields NOW to a 2 year 25 million contract. Riley could sit and learn and eventually take over if he has the goods.
Definitely need to focus on defensive line in the draft. No free agent bs. This draft has generational d line and 0 qbs that I would think can take you to the playoffs. Do not draft a qb in round 2
The problem is poor coaching and schemes. Plus not having an Elite QB. Sorry Russ, thanks for the kind words, but Steelers are way off contending for a Superbowl
Wilson is clueless we are not contenders. Mediocre quarterback play, mediocre running backs, bottom five teams in the league receivers, below average offensive line, mediocre secondary, we have one above average position group on the team, and that is our outside linebackers. Our run defense is overrated because every time we have big games it falls apart
Deke I can’t take you seriously with your Justin Fields takes man. I’m sorry. You sound like a Fields stan and not a real football guy. The Eagles got bounced out last year and in the off-season….they got Saquon and improved their coaching. So Russ isn’t crazy for saying this.
i'm HEAVY on the MILROE train, much more than the average follower...he's a MONSTER(closest thing to josh allen, sorry AR-5) at the QB position, still developing his ability to read the field, but comes from a WINNING/TALENT rich program that by far as opposed to his competition has played in BIG games, possibly bigger than most NFL games....has the potential to be the closest to jayden daniels rookie year production from ANY qb(including ward/sanders) from this year's draft....for all the fields(if fields hasn't developed the ability to read the field by now, it's not going to happen) best option for the steelers people, they are OVERLOOKING milroe and his UPSIDE
It’s crazy how when it was 7 deke was screaming he needs o line help but everybody else it’s the qb Ben was not Ben in the end but yet deke can’t admit it he couldn’t throw 25 yards down field my point is fix the o line
Mike Munchkin (#1 C.O.A.T) hasn’t adequately prepared his team for 10+ straight years, but he still deserves a raise and an indefinite life-term contract. 😂😂😂😂😂😂😅😅😅
Zeke.. I respect your opion on Steelers talk but you are dead wrong ! Steelers had a good team this year 10-3 was good till the final 5 games.. Dont put a bad season on the QB.. It was the darn defense ! They got burned in so many ways.. If you want to blame anyone blame Tomlin ! Blame the defense coach ! The offense is young.. Tomlin hinders Smith from calling the proper plays.. To fire Tomlin is not that easy.. The Rooneys want to be an example of Rooney rule.. Steelers will be fine ! New players will make a difference.. Bottom line Coaches need to be better !
Those 5 losses were against all top 5 teams or offenses in the Bengals’ case. The recency bias is real. Oh well, sometimes it’s easier to agree to disagree. Tough to score when half your o line depth chart is injured. And having no WR1 all year, and no 1 or 2 when GP was out. Let the overreactions continue ✌️
players make teams and wilson isn't wrong as too far off as where they were when you take into account the ENTIRE season, the tackles have to develop, just as much as the qb position, the steelers have to handle the RB position WELL and get a name or 2 in the wr room(1 FA, 1 draft pick) to go with pickens, austin and unless he's a complete bust ROMAN WILSON. the d-line needs a couple bodies and a player close or equal to cam's production
I watched a clip of Gronk and Jules talking about playing the steelers and how easy the steelers defense is to beat. Good players but they've been playing the same thing for 20 years. They just run crossing patterns and beat steelers linebacker coverages all day. Tomlin, great motivator but wont risk hiring coordinators who actually know more than him. He has to be the smartest guy in the room. So he hires a bunch of yes men. Tomlin is the problem and needs to go. steelers are always out coached out schemed. When the steelers win it's because of a few turnovers in key moments by the defense or some huge splash play where Pickens deicides to show up. That's it. steelers can't put together a gameplan to beat teams week in and week out. Their coaches are the worst in the league. Tomlin's coaching tree or lack thereof prove it.
Whether you think Kenny was good or not, we completely f***ed up his development. I have no faith that we’re gonna develop anybody else with this coaching staff.
All you do is talk about Russell theirs only two team in the Championship game. Steelers have way more problems than the Quarterback. This always on my home page . Tomlinson not going anywhere get over it! Shannon didn’t blame Russ
The problem is we are rebuilding either way you see it and at the same time since we have a good coach we are winning at the same time so Tomlins getting the blame for being good lol make it make since, yall act like with no WR bad O Line yall act like we was going to win it all and what’s this infatuation with wanting to win a playoff game? What difference does it make if you lose the next round I mean make it make since, use yall brain now geesh there’s no common sense with anyone anymore
Deke what are you talking about???? You make zero sense…. You want to listen to people when they say what you want then they crazy when they don’t ….. the O line was so bad no one would would do good with no time….. and remember the defense was holding them they was this year……
I keep saying I like the kid from Ohio state I see a Lil Josh Allen in him. Fight fire with fire. They want to build a defense that can stop guys. Not put up points to score with them. Wilson not beating the top 4. Fields either. I give him a better shot because of his athletesizm but you still gotta be accurate throwing.
5:42 facts deke last year playoffs game we definitely did better then this year Russ ain’t it Mason put up a better fight in his playoff game 💯score more points also
If they like Dart they should resign Russ for 2 yrs Dart isn’t going to learn shit from Fieids as a mentor that would be the plan I want we need to open up this offense with more speedy talent
Deke, everything that happened last year is not Russ’s fault. We had one receiver (barely), the O-Line is absolute trash, and that secondary (my gawd). If Russ had a better team around him, the team could go very far.

Let’s be honest with ourselves. Do we really want Justin to be our QB. Or we need to go all out for a QB in the draft.
i'm HEAVY on the MILROE train, much more than the average follower...he's a MONSTER(closest thing to josh allen, sorry AR-5) at the QB position, still developing his ability to read the field, but comes from a WINNING/TALENT rich program that by far as opposed to his competition has played in BIG games, possibly bigger than most NFL games....has the potential to be the closest to jayden daniels rookie year production from ANY qb(including ward/sanders) from this year's draft....for all the fields(if fields hasn't developed the ability to read the field by now, it's not going to happen) best option for the steelers people, they are OVERLOOKING milroe and his UPSIDE
It’s crazy how when it was 7 deke was screaming he needs o line help but everybody else it’s the qb Ben was not Ben in the end but yet deke can’t admit it he couldn’t throw 25 yards down field my point is fix the o line
Mike Munchkin (#1 C.O.A.T) hasn’t adequately prepared his team for 10+ straight years, but he still deserves a raise and an indefinite life-term contract. 😂😂😂😂😂😂😅😅😅
Why why why why do you use Poni as a source of anything? He is the worst journalist in Pittsburgh and I wouldn’t consider him a journalist.
I’m not watching next season if Russ is back. It would tell me all I need to know how bad they wanna change
Steelers are way too stubborn to change. The standard is the arrogant standard.
The Steelers don't have the coaching staff to compete with the top teams
Zeke..
I respect your opion on Steelers talk but you are dead wrong ! Steelers had a good team this year 10-3 was good till the final 5 games.. Dont put a bad season on the QB.. It was the darn defense ! They got burned in so many ways.. If you want to blame anyone blame Tomlin ! Blame the defense coach ! The offense is young.. Tomlin hinders Smith from calling the proper plays.. To fire Tomlin is not that easy.. The Rooneys want to be an example of Rooney rule.. Steelers will be fine ! New players will make a difference.. Bottom line Coaches need to be better !
Kyle McCord looked pretty good on a average team Syracuse so I’d take him in the 4th if we can’t sign Fields
Those 5 losses were against all top 5 teams or offenses in the Bengals’ case. The recency bias is real. Oh well, sometimes it’s easier to agree to disagree. Tough to score when half your o line depth chart is injured. And having no WR1 all year, and no 1 or 2 when GP was out. Let the overreactions continue ✌️
players make teams and wilson isn't wrong as too far off as where they were when you take into account the ENTIRE season, the tackles have to develop, just as much as the qb position, the steelers have to handle the RB position WELL and get a name or 2 in the wr room(1 FA, 1 draft pick) to go with pickens, austin and unless he's a complete bust ROMAN WILSON. the d-line needs a couple bodies and a player close or equal to cam's production
The Steelers arent paying him 30 million
Can’t believe this dude uses Poni as a credible source
WILL HOWARD will shock you in the league bro. You watch, he will
I watched a clip of Gronk and Jules talking about playing the steelers and how easy the steelers defense is to beat. Good players but they've been playing the same thing for 20 years. They just run crossing patterns and beat steelers linebacker coverages all day. Tomlin, great motivator but wont risk hiring coordinators who actually know more than him. He has to be the smartest guy in the room. So he hires a bunch of yes men. Tomlin is the problem and needs to go. steelers are always out coached out schemed. When the steelers win it's because of a few turnovers in key moments by the defense or some huge splash play where Pickens deicides to show up. That's it. steelers can't put together a gameplan to beat teams week in and week out. Their coaches are the worst in the league. Tomlin's coaching tree or lack thereof prove it.
Whether you think Kenny was good or not, we completely f***ed up his development. I have no faith that we’re gonna develop anybody else with this coaching staff.
How you gonna say the being down 21,but you was praising Justin fields 300 game vs the colts when he was down by 20 as well. Make it make sense deke.
Hey Russ -"We" there is no "we" you ain´t a Steeler.. you were a experiment that didn´t work out ! So stop that bsh and move on!
All you do is talk about Russell theirs only two team in the Championship game. Steelers have way more problems than the Quarterback. This always on my home page . Tomlinson not going anywhere get over it! Shannon didn’t blame Russ
C’mon wit the Kenny talk man!!! He’s worse than Justin. How many passing TDs did he have?
Bro fields is trash naw russ all the way
Why u want a old man who's best days was 10 yrs ago
Wilson is washed
The problem is we are rebuilding either way you see it and at the same time since we have a good coach we are winning at the same time so Tomlins getting the blame for being good lol make it make since, yall act like with no WR bad O Line yall act like we was going to win it all and what’s this infatuation with wanting to win a playoff game? What difference does it make if you lose the next round I mean make it make since, use yall brain now geesh there’s no common sense with anyone anymore
Deke needs help Pickett is crap stop it stop it Clipboard Kenny lowest %TD passes first 500 attempts NFL history STOP STOP STOP
WR has to be Rd 1 though
Deke what are you talking about????
You make zero sense…. You want to listen to people when they say what you want then they crazy when they don’t ….. the O line was so bad no one would would do good with no time….. and remember the defense was holding them they was this year……
Steelers 4th round Milroe looked like crap after Senior Bowl He looked like crap
We would be interested in Milroe..smh .. We have a thing for little hands i guess.
I keep saying I like the kid from Ohio state I see a Lil Josh Allen in him. Fight fire with fire. They want to build a defense that can stop guys. Not put up points to score with them. Wilson not beating the top 4. Fields either. I give him a better shot because of his athletesizm but you still gotta be accurate throwing.
Will Howard to Pittsburgh
I ment Pickens!!!!!!
#TradeTomlin 1st rounder + 2nd rounder = win playoff games
Do not pick Jalen Ilford he su KS for qb
You Russell Wilson it was on you
SRUSS PLZ STAY
There is 2 QBS draft then no no
#JUSTINFIELDS #QB1 #STEELERNATION
Are they positioned do yoy know that ??? .Fields QB give him chance
Look at the teams and schedule the Steelers played football is rigged c'mon man 😂😂
5:42 facts deke last year playoffs game we definitely did better then this year Russ ain’t it Mason put up a better fight in his playoff game 💯score more points also

Pitts. A. Dumpster. Fire
To linhashad18 years to try to wina superbowl and builds playoff temhe sucks with art rooney
Yeah there is pr o bless with I ttsburgh standard pathetic they suck
Fields sux
Milroe trash
Shoot for Dart in the 3rd if hes there.
If they like Dart they should resign Russ for 2 yrs Dart isn’t going to learn shit from Fieids as a mentor that would be the plan I want we need to open up this offense with more speedy talent
All i am sure of is Russ Wilson sucked
tomlin is the steelers cancer,,,, getting paid 25 million,, every losing year
whats the common link in the past years. TOMLIN. time to go
