Big facts and he is the franchise QB of the Steelers, they act like he’s old when he’s 25 years old and younger get then most of the QBs drafted in the last 2 drafts, he’s younger then Kenny Pickett and was in the league 2 years before him in a bad situation and now everyone tears him down like it was his fault, yet they say he got all the talent in the world but yet they look at him as a bridge QB so I’m confused on that analogy because it doesn’t make since at all but most of Pittsburgh media don’t know what there talking about and what’s crazy is there around these people and still are clueless when it comes to talent 😂

@@JamesBlackburn-p4r he was given a shot for 4 seasons and he still can't get the ball from under center without the threat of fumbling. If you still have to teach him after 4 seasons. You'll be better off getting a rookie QB out of the draft. The Steelers want a SB now. And the only QB that give them that chance is Russ. Give him the pass protection he needs (every QB needs) more than one weapon at WR and a genuine power back with speed. Again that will call for better Oline play in run blocking. The Steelers Oline was ranked I believe 26 or 28th. The L&R tackles both double digit sacks. Broderick and Daniel's were awful. Either sacks or holding penalties. Awful
Jalen Hurts averages 130 yards passing and has the luxury of Shaquan Barkley tearing up the opposition. If we had that we could be very hard to beat very fast. If Aston Jeantry is available 2 trades before Cincinnati picks we need to trade up as Cincinnati wants him real bad to pair with Joe Burrow in his prime.

@@chrisberkebile3366 I'm not sure that I agree with you. Kahn and Weidl have really made changes to this team. For some years, prior to them being here, the o-line really wasn't addressed. Not unless you consider third and fourth and even fifth round talents to be our starters on the line. Not to mention, our last great d-line duo was when we still had Tuitt as well as Heyward. When was the last time this team used early round picks to get a talented defensive lineman. That wasn't until after Colbert retired when we got Benton. Ogunjobi should have never got a second contract with us. But because he never addressed it with a quality guy, we still have him on the roster.

@ the biggest problem here is finding the franchise quarterback.

If we draft a quarterback, we’re still years away from being a Super Bowl contender
Yeah but Justin reposted his Steeler teammate. It’s normal for a player who isn’t coming back to disassociate himself from everything related to the team. He hasn’t done that.
JF makes the most sense. Would love to see Wilsin go to the raiders and then convince them to give us their 2026 #1 for GP. Then draft Embuke out of OSU, sign a Chris Godwin or Kirk, add in Roman Wilson and run some crossing routes over the middle for a change. If the JF experiment doesn't work out, you are set up with two #1's for the draft that Pittsburgh hosts for their franchise QB if needed.
I think the issue I have with Pittsburgh media is not that they are dumb. It's that I don't think that they are plugged into Tomlin. I think the Pittsburgh media and fans see things very similarly but that is not in phase with tomlin and that's why there are so many calls for his job even though the organization loves him.
Russ should go to the Raiders with Pete Carroll. They have $95M in cap space and draft high so they’ll can load up. 5 of the top 10 highest paid Steelers for 2025 are linebackers, it is a terribly flawed roster, like reverse Moneyball.
@PatriotWatchUSA steelers didn't do bad with jf. Did they develop him this year... if not that's there fault. With Chicago it's 100% them... just like every qb on panthers sucked but after leaving didn't. If steelers can't use Fields... they couldn't use Lamar. Fields could do what hurts does with talent around him atleast...
DL, WR, CB, RB, WR, CB, DT, QB. I can honestly see any of the positions in picks 1-4 going in any order, minus RB which I don’t think they’ll select any earlier than with the 3rd pick. Sampson out of TN and Gordon II out of OK State may be available for pick 4 and both are legit 3 down backs with power, vision and burst to spare Quality wise, there’s a drop off with WR after 2nd pick and I’m talking elite playmakers, automatic WR1/WR2 types to pair opposite Pickens (if he stays) I don’t see that’s the case with the CB group. Players like Mello Dotson out of Kansas and Zy Alexander out of LSU, for example seem to be both starter, man-press capable studs and should be available at pick 3. I don’t really care if they wait and select a DL with the 3rd or even the 4th pick, which would be a stretch, but they can’t wait again like last year’s draft. They need a legit starting NT ASAP.
I like Russell over Fields, he just looked more confident out there and in control… Neither Qb had the right pieces around them but I think Russell would be more successfull with that.. But if it is Fields I will support him fully… true fan style!!!
I like fields over Russ mainly because the speed Justin has you can't teach that ... Justin has had the chance to learn from the sideline on what to do and what not to do ... He's gonna be better now mark my words ... He had to get rid of all that old bad habits he was forced to learn in my hometown Chi-Town because of that piss poor oline we still continue to have ... I think he's ready now big time ...
@@JamesBlackburn-p4r He didn't learn any bad habits in Chicago. Lay off the crack. JF has always had those habits. He's a bad QB> His offensive line in Chicago was better than the one he had in Pitt. Mark my words JF will never be a franchise starting QB> Hand in you Chicago Bear card we don't want you anymore
Only way he gets a ring is sitting and watching from the bench. He's really a practice squad Qb. I hope he has to go in and play early in the Superbowl. 1st hit he'll be hurt like always, He will run into 5 sacks, 10-25 108 yds 2 int and 0 TD's. That's his average stat line. And Philly loses by 10 He will be putting applications in at Foot locker by the Monmouth mall before he even gets on the plane home. 😅😅😅
Chris Carter, it's funny how you say that Pittsburgh is trying to build their team to be like the Eagles. I've been thinking that they were doing that for the last 1-2 years. And I believe that it could work for us in a couple years. Mahomes as you said is about to turn 30. Early 30s is when players start to decline.
@@jsmitt3700 oh yeah, when did Russell Wilson start to decline? How about a man from the same draft class in Kirk Cousins? Because neither of them are playing close to the top 10 which means that they probably started to decline a couple years ago. And even Mahomes hadn't looked great since not having too many great guys to throw to. But he's still clutch and has that IT factor.
@@andrewszymanski3578players do decline in their 30s but mahomes probably breaks the mold like Brady and continues dominant play into his mid to late 30s
Chris, don't throw the 70s Steelers in a conversation about getting calls from Refs because that was not the case. I was there and at that time, there wasn't this over-officialized NFL thats prevalent today. If there was a team that seemed to get calls back then it was the Cowboys. Thats why it was so satisfying beating them in the Super Bowl's. Never assume what you're seeing today applies to then because the game is alot different. Peace.
@@dannyjohnson8122 I hear you Danny. I was more talking about how other fanbases talked about the Steelers. When I talk to fans of other teams during that era they talk about the Steelers like they got all the calls too, like the Oilers touchdown in the 79 playoffs that wasn’t awarded to them. I don’t think they were anything like on this level but wanted to acknowledge that perspective always gets floated around the greats, that’s all.
I don’t believe the Steelers are trying to build their team like any other team other than the Steelers!! You can’t copy teams, you don’t have the same pieces it doesn’t make sense.. the only thing you do copy or make the same changes as other teams do is to play with the advantage of the change in league rules..
It doesn't matter which quarterback plays. The steelers have too many other issues. Coaching, offensive and defensive line, safeties, linebackers. The kicking game and perhaps the rest of the special teams is all the have going for them.
Not strong signs for Fields to be back, but we should go get Free Agent -Dobbs for back up, 3rd times a charm...He's improved tremendously since leaving last.....
They need to go DT we need to find are next Casey Hampton . A big guy that take up double teams allow Cam Hayward and Bento to opportunity to run free. If we create the pressure up front we don’t really need a corner. We can find a WR in the 2nd or 3RD we need a running back. I would bring back Najee for the right price. I like that RB from Boise State but I don’t see him there by that time but DT has to be number 1
Best case scenario for the Steelers is Justin and russ leave Pittsburgh and the Steelers are left with horrible opinions at QB for 2025. The Steelers need to lose in 2025 so they can draft a franchise QB in 2026. This is the only way to move a bit forward, get a franchise QB in the draft. The next piece to success is waiting for Tomlin contract to expire and hopes he retires or ownership lets him go.
I do! But I'm also concerned with a 7th round pick who's been suffering injuries left and right. Not sure they want to just rely on that. Would be great if he developed and he still can.
Additionally, adding another young CB is a cheap longer term solution. Imagine Trice is the 3rd guy behind an island CB like Shavon Revel JR and Joey Porter JR. I like Bishop but I think adding 1 more CB would be good and there are some great ones in the draft as opposed to the money we need to spend for a top corner in FA with needs still at QB and WR. I'd rather pay Higgins and Fields than go get a DJ Reed.
I would love to get a rd1.cb 2 Morrison, revel, brown. rd2 savion Williams, tre harris, jack bech rd3 Scattebo, hunter, mullings rd4. darien porter cb Iowa st, rd 5. Tyson (wr AZ ST) rd7 monangai rutgers rb, developmental dt and ot
I think you're being a bit disingenuous about Russ. In reference to the 5games. You can not mention those 5 losses without mentioning how poor the defence had played in those games and how many points they gave up. You also can not mention the losses without mentioning the lack of weapons the STEELERS has at WR position. You can not mention the losses without mentioning the awful O-line play. Russell Wilson if you really analyze the season was put in the same position he was in at DENVER. To play hero ball. Expecting him to win with his arm. Justin isn't it. Sorry. You forgot to mention that they got because Mason Walked.
We will never be like the eagles offense they spend $70,000,000 more than we do on our offense until we start investing to have legitimate playmakers the offense will continue to be ASS.
@jayrobinson4591 nahhhh Tomlin is to blame as well for his mindset were only on a budget for offense our defense is the highest paid in the NFL lol we spend $120,000,000 more on defense than offense that's not being cheap that's a decision.
The Steelers do the opposite of Moneybag. They overpay linebackers, DT's and safeties which are not premium positions, and they even pay guys that don't produce. Then they pay nothing to QB, corner, Left Tackle, and WR which are the premium positions. Steelers could have 11 pro-bowlers on defense and Mahomes would still beat them. You have to build a team that can score points.
Fields needs to go to a team with a QB whisperer. And the Steelers don’t have that. Or do they? There isn’t going to be any rebuilds in Pittsburgh next season or the next. They are retooling. We know that there are several veterans on defense that are getting paid a lot of money. And if they are all coming back, the Steelers need to go for players in Free Agency and the draft to help the positions of need (DT, RB, WR, CB, OL depth) that they need to try and contend. So it only stands to reason that they give it another shot with Wilson, or another veteran starting caliber QB. Because Fields isn’t gonna be the Hurts (game manager) that they need more than everyone thinks Wilson won’t or can’t be. You don’t just suddenly forget how to put up 28-35 points. Like wtf?
So if you are saying, move on from Russ because he only scored 17pts a game during the skid, then please remind me how many points Fields was averaging per game. I think it was the same 17pts
Playoffs equal great RB play. Najee 3.5 yards/run is not good enough. Najee was never going to be a breakaway back. Get one. RB class has a bunch. Second round should have plenty of breakaway backers. QB plays better with a great running back. Draft a second RB later. No more Cordelle please. Get undrafted one for practice squad. Load up.
Being a conservative organization there’s no way the Steelers are dumping Wilson after one year. They don’t want that and neither does Wilson. Had Wilson played horribly it’d be different, but he played well enough. They aren’t gonna go with Fields if they aren’t sold on him and it appears that they aren’t sold on him. Wilson and Carroll aren’t gonna reunite. The raiders would be a good place for JF if he doesn’t want to be the backup in Pittsburgh. Pete C would welcome Fields in to compete for the job..he did the same with a young guy back in 2012.
I don't understand how pittsburgh and Tomlin thought Russ was the answer. Did they not watch the Broncos games. Russ has a way of making his stats look respectable, but if you actually watch the games, he was terrible. Sean and Arthur knew it.
Stop signing veteran Quaterback who are past thier prime and QBs who have potential. Fields wont be better than russ. This team needs a o line, receiver and coordinator.
You guys clearly know nothing Russ sucks at football I’m sorry but he just does. The reason why the passing game opened up is because Tomlin didn’t trust fields enough so he didn’t allow Arthur smith to call certain plays. Then when Russ came in tomlin allowed the entire offense to open up. Yes when you have gp he’s winning 90% of jump balls that doesn’t make russel Wilson good wtf. The running game started going downhill and the defense started going downhill because Russ can’t drive the ball down the field he is trash and if you disagree you know absolutely nothing. ESPN said ever since Russ started that you can’t win games that way. You all said they were wrong and guess tf what they were correct Russ is trash he needs to retire
@@mikecara8181 no they brought him in to get us deep into playoffs that was the reason he was brought in unfortunately his skills and decision making aren't what they once was an he played same as he did in Denver
Justin Fields took more sacks per dropback than Russ. Also doesn’t sound like there are any new signs, just speculation. No one knows what Tomlin will do. Will he choose the veteran who had nothing to work with the last 5 weeks? Or the ultimate hypothetical QB in Fields?
@cjy431 Fields also only played 6 games.....and in those 6 games he fumbled 6 times!!!! It was typical Fumblemaster 2000 football!!! Don't throw accurately, don't read the defense, take off running, and put the ball on the ground!!!! Welcome to Chicago revamped!!!!
This guy has no clue what QB the Steelers are leaning towards. He has no idea what needs to be done for the Steelers to be more successful. He is clueless just like Tomlin and Smith are. The Steelers problems start at the top and that includes the ownership of the Steelers. As long as the stadium is sold out. Nothing will change.
Fields is a bonified bust. He has proven he can't read a defense, or lead an offense to an acceptable points per game. 4 years is enough tape to figure that out. We should bring a QB with knowledge in, and look to the draft for a bo nix type of QB that isn't top 10 talent but has a chance to grow. Fields isn't growing. He is at his absolute best right now. And his best is dollar general Lamar Jackson. And if Lamar Jackson can't beat the chiefs or bills, then how can fields? No. Absolutely not.
A Bonafide Bust yet, he's helping teams win. And not being able to read a defense is just whit white fans say about black qB. JF is literally one of the smartest QBs in the league. And one of the smartest ever to be drafted. JF has literally grown and gotten better every year. not only does his career stats prove it, but so does his stats over the last 20 games, Theyre , absolutely great. And you can only be a bust if you're drafted with the top 3 picks. I've never heard of a player called a bust who drafted after pick 5
@@sevinbamuels6560 Justin has the best Wonderlic score by a QB (former Bears long snapper Patrick Mannelly has the record for any NFL player with a perfect grade), and Fields also did have a high C2 ranking (which is the newer cognitive exam)
Honestly, as a fan since 1956, and a successful coach since 1975, I wouldn't be upset if Fumblemaster 2000 was shipped out. His career stats are below average to average at best. He's a great backup and red zone gadget player but that's just about all!!!!!
Justin doesn't throw with anticipation or throw guys open. In fact even when guys are open he's afraid to pull the trigger. He's so afraid to make a mistake. How do you fix that???
Chris you are a hypocrite i see through you as day. I know your thoughts because you express them all season, Russell is your guy it's Russell you want for the for seeble future not justin so stop the narrative it's just the steelers wantz.
I think you mean foreseeable future.....but honestly, I think if we run with Fumblemaster 2000 we're going to end up being as bad if not worse than the Jets and Giants next year. Look at Fields' stats!!! He's a slightly above average backup and red zone gadget player at the absolute best!!!! 17-33 career record, no playoff wins or experience for that matter, double digit fumbles every season except for this one, and he fumbled 6 times in 6 games, so he was definitely on pace. He has a career passer rating of 83.7 and the "average " quarterback has a passer rating of 90-95.
@craigjacobs6249 Russ will have a better season than Fields next year as a starter. Fields is a subpar QB. That said I hope the Steelers sign him and "unleash" his talents because they'd only win around 5 games, he'd get booed off the field, and the FIRE Tomlin chants would begin.
@@jeffvanduyne4614 I like when people only like you throw out stats like professional. Who was the team he played for? What kind of organization he came from? What did he have at that team? His last year when he had DJ Moore he put up better numbers as a matter of fact DJ had a career year in reception, yards and TDs. Allow yourself to start looking deeper and get out of the shallow mentality no wonder why the Steelers stank up the last 4 games and got beat down the the playoffs the one and done team. Remove the terrible towel from your eyes so you can see clearly.

Your infatuation with Fields is your down fall, like the rest of the Steelers fan base. Bustin isnt it chief
Wilson signing with Raiders. !st rd pick Egbuki hands down. Fields 3 yr $60 mil
Russ should go to the Raiders with Pete Carroll. They have $95M in cap space and draft high so they’ll can load up. 5 of the top 10 highest paid Steelers for 2025 are linebackers, it is a terribly flawed roster, like reverse Moneyball.
Hopefully he goes
Hopefully he goes
Or the 2000-2012 Bears 😅😂
Justin Fields can be the guy. If not it's cause we failed him... not the other way around
Of coarse it couldn't be JF fault. Right now it's Chicago's and maybe the Steelers fault? lol
@PatriotWatchUSA steelers didn't do bad with jf. Did they develop him this year... if not that's there fault. With Chicago it's 100% them... just like every qb on panthers sucked but after leaving didn't. If steelers can't use Fields... they couldn't use Lamar. Fields could do what hurts does with talent around him atleast...

Classic hater and keyboard troll
DL, WR, CB, RB, WR, CB, DT, QB.
I can honestly see any of the positions in picks 1-4 going in any order, minus RB which I don’t think they’ll select any earlier than with the 3rd pick.
Sampson out of TN and Gordon II out of OK State may be available for pick 4 and both are legit 3 down backs with power, vision and burst to spare
Quality wise, there’s a drop off with WR after 2nd pick and I’m talking elite playmakers, automatic WR1/WR2 types to pair opposite Pickens (if he stays)
I don’t see that’s the case with the CB group. Players like Mello Dotson out of Kansas and Zy Alexander out of LSU, for example seem to be both starter, man-press capable studs and should be available at pick 3.
I don’t really care if they wait and select a DL with the 3rd or even the 4th pick, which would be a stretch, but they can’t wait again like last year’s draft. They need a legit starting NT ASAP.
I agree CC, draft defense and add FAs on offense except RB as there are tons of them in the draft.
I like Russell over Fields, he just looked more confident out there and in control… Neither Qb had the right pieces around them but I think Russell would be more successfull with that.. But if it is Fields I will support him fully… true fan style!!!
I like fields over Russ mainly because the speed Justin has you can't teach that ... Justin has had the chance to learn from the sideline on what to do and what not to do ... He's gonna be better now mark my words ... He had to get rid of all that old bad habits he was forced to learn in my hometown Chi-Town because of that piss poor oline we still continue to have ... I think he's ready now big time ...
@@JamesBlackburn-p4r He didn't learn any bad habits in Chicago. Lay off the crack. JF has always had those habits. He's a bad QB> His offensive line in Chicago was better than the one he had in Pitt.

Only way he gets a ring is sitting and watching from the bench. He's really a practice squad Qb.

Chris Carter, it's funny how you say that Pittsburgh is trying to build their team to be like the Eagles. I've been thinking that they were doing that for the last 1-2 years. And I believe that it could work for us in a couple years. Mahomes as you said is about to turn 30. Early 30s is when players start to decline.
If Broderick steps up, the O Line will be well on its way. You win the game in the trenches
Qbs don't start to decline in their early 30's
@@jsmitt3700 oh yeah, when did Russell Wilson start to decline? How about a man from the same draft class in Kirk Cousins? Because neither of them are playing close to the top 10 which means that they probably started to decline a couple years ago. And even Mahomes hadn't looked great since not having too many great guys to throw to. But he's still clutch and has that IT factor.
@@andrewszymanski3578players do decline in their 30s but mahomes probably breaks the mold like Brady and continues dominant play into his mid to late 30s
The eagles were not built in a 1-2 years man.
I'll believe it when I see it. As long as Tomlin is head coach Wilson is going no where. Tomlin for some reason is in love with this aged quarterback
Chris, don't throw the 70s Steelers in a conversation about getting calls from Refs because that was not the case. I was there and at that time, there wasn't this over-officialized NFL thats prevalent today. If there was a team that seemed to get calls back then it was the Cowboys. Thats why it was so satisfying beating them in the Super Bowl's. Never assume what you're seeing today applies to then because the game is alot different. Peace.
@@dannyjohnson8122 I hear you Danny. I was more talking about how other fanbases talked about the Steelers. When I talk to fans of other teams during that era they talk about the Steelers like they got all the calls too, like the Oilers touchdown in the 79 playoffs that wasn’t awarded to them. I don’t think they were anything like on this level but wanted to acknowledge that perspective always gets floated around the greats, that’s all.
@LockedOnSteelers Understood my man 💪
Young with tremendous upside. It's a no brainer
Get field to sign
I don’t believe the Steelers are trying to build their team like any other team other than the Steelers!! You can’t copy teams, you don’t have the same pieces it doesn’t make sense.. the only thing you do copy or make the same changes as other teams do is to play with the advantage of the change in league rules..
Cmon
We get it been watching since 1974. And this NFL product screems WWF. I plan to just make money off the bets imho🤔
RW 18 TDs (16 pass 2 rush) in 11 games (1.64 TDs/game). JF 10 TDs (5 pass 5 rush) in 6 games (1.67 TDs/game). TD's/$ next year goes to Fields.
The media is pushing for Fields hard. If he was the answer why didn’t play better during the the six games he started? The Steelers D won those games.
Watching Spagnuolo in game adjustment and play calling
Just shows how far the steelers are from really contending with mike Tomlin calling the defense
Reminded me of Dick Lebeau
We used to be the best at halftime adjustments
Stupid ... Keep trying HATER ... 🗑️🗑️🗑️🗑️🗑️💩💩💩💩
UNTIL TOMLIN GONE…NOTHING MATTERS
It doesn't matter which quarterback plays. The steelers have too many other issues. Coaching, offensive and defensive line, safeties, linebackers. The kicking game and perhaps the rest of the special teams is all the have going for them.
hopefully sitting on the bench this year helped Fields.
Not strong signs for Fields to be back, but we should go get Free Agent -Dobbs for back up, 3rd times a charm...He's improved tremendously since leaving last.....
They need to go DT we need to find are next Casey Hampton . A big guy that take up double teams allow Cam Hayward and Bento to opportunity to run free. If we create the pressure up front we don’t really need a corner. We can find a WR in the 2nd or 3RD we need a running back. I would bring back Najee for the right price. I like that RB from Boise State but I don’t see him there by that time but DT has to be number 1
Best case scenario for the Steelers is Justin and russ leave Pittsburgh and the Steelers are left with horrible opinions at QB for 2025. The Steelers need to lose in 2025 so they can draft a franchise QB in 2026. This is the only way to move a bit forward, get a franchise QB in the draft. The next piece to success is waiting for Tomlin contract to expire and hopes he retires or ownership lets him go.
So basically how Chicago screwed over JF in 2022??
A tear down and tankathon
Hey Chris… You do know CTjr is on the roster right????
I do! But I'm also concerned with a 7th round pick who's been suffering injuries left and right. Not sure they want to just rely on that. Would be great if he developed and he still can.
Additionally, adding another young CB is a cheap longer term solution. Imagine Trice is the 3rd guy behind an island CB like Shavon Revel JR and Joey Porter JR. I like Bishop but I think adding 1 more CB would be good and there are some great ones in the draft as opposed to the money we need to spend for a top corner in FA with needs still at QB and WR. I'd rather pay Higgins and Fields than go get a DJ Reed.
I would love to get a

Man, I hope you’re right
I think you're being a bit disingenuous about Russ. In reference to the 5games. You can not mention those 5 losses without mentioning how poor the defence had played in those games and how many points they gave up. You also can not mention the losses without mentioning the lack of weapons the STEELERS has at WR position. You can not mention the losses without mentioning the awful O-line play. Russell Wilson if you really analyze the season was put in the same position he was in at DENVER. To play hero ball. Expecting him to win with his arm. Justin isn't it. Sorry. You forgot to mention that they got because Mason Walked.
No he played like he did in Denver because his skills aren't what they once were he isn't Mr Unlimited anymore he is Mr Unbearably Limited
@@ManuelKimbrell His Mr SUPERSTAR compared to JF. That's all that matters. He was the best the Steelers had
@PatriotWatchUSA dream on he was good 10 yrs ago i don't recall many superstars having a so so won lost record
@ You a slow learner. Wilson was the best QB on the roster. That's all that matters/ Everything else is silliness
@PatriotWatchUSA says you if that is true why do most of the fan base want him gone ?
What about having specialty coaches? They don’t have a good history of retaining coaches or having specialized coaching positions.
We will never be like the eagles offense they spend $70,000,000 more than we do on our offense until we start investing to have legitimate playmakers the offense will continue to be ASS.
Yup, always trying to win on a budget, but clueless fans love to blame Mike Tomlin
@jayrobinson4591 nahhhh Tomlin is to blame as well for his mindset were only on a budget for offense our defense is the highest paid in the NFL lol we spend $120,000,000 more on defense than offense that's not being cheap that's a decision.
The Steelers do the opposite of Moneybag. They overpay linebackers, DT's and safeties which are not premium positions, and they even pay guys that don't produce. Then they pay nothing to QB, corner, Left Tackle, and WR which are the premium positions. Steelers could have 11 pro-bowlers on defense and Mahomes would still beat them. You have to build a team that can score points.
😅😅😅😅 who told you Fields wasn't the future?
Nice emojis fake blackbelt. JF is nobody future. He is a back up without a team
Fields needs to go to a team with a QB whisperer. And the Steelers don’t have that. Or do they? There isn’t going to be any rebuilds in Pittsburgh next season or the next. They are retooling. We know that there are several veterans on defense that are getting paid a lot of money. And if they are all coming back, the Steelers need to go for players in Free Agency and the draft to help the positions of need (DT, RB, WR, CB, OL depth) that they need to try and contend. So it only stands to reason that they give it another shot with Wilson, or another veteran starting caliber QB. Because Fields isn’t gonna be the Hurts (game manager) that they need more than everyone thinks Wilson won’t or can’t be. You don’t just suddenly forget how to put up 28-35 points. Like wtf?
And Wilson needs to go to a retirement home
So if you are saying, move on from Russ because he only scored 17pts a game during the skid, then please remind me how many points Fields was averaging per game. I think it was the same 17pts
The offense averaged 20.6 points per game under Justin Fields. Again, I agree that the move made sense in-season.
Everyone seems to want to move on from Russ cause he is declining not improving
@@LockedOnSteelers You averaged more with RW
Playoffs equal great RB play. Najee 3.5 yards/run is not good enough. Najee was never going to be a breakaway back. Get one. RB class has a bunch. Second round should have plenty of breakaway backers. QB plays better with a great running back. Draft a second RB later. No more Cordelle please. Get undrafted one for practice squad. Load up.
#Tomlinstoplivinginyourfearsandplaytowin
Russ got pittsburgh to the playoffs and most of the fan base is acting like fields did it. Flacco gets treated better 😭
... They have $ to sign Russ (passing threat) AND get weapons on the outside. Not either or.
We’re farrr from being able to line up with the Eagles… TJ has no shot of winning a Super Bowl with us. We should trade him and Minkah..
They should trade for Chris Olave.
Being a conservative organization there’s no way the Steelers are dumping Wilson after one year. They don’t want that and neither does Wilson. Had Wilson played horribly it’d be different, but he played well enough.
They aren’t gonna go with Fields if they aren’t sold on him and it appears that they aren’t sold on him.
Wilson and Carroll aren’t gonna reunite. The raiders would be a good place for JF if he doesn’t want to be the backup in Pittsburgh. Pete C would welcome Fields in to compete for the job..he did the same with a young guy back in 2012.
We will see I don't think he will be back
Tired of are OC's/DC respectfully. The staff be coming up short.
I don't understand how pittsburgh and Tomlin thought Russ was the answer. Did they not watch the Broncos games. Russ has a way of making his stats look respectable, but if you actually watch the games, he was terrible. Sean and Arthur knew it.
Too bad Tomlin was blind
Stop signing veteran Quaterback who are past thier prime and QBs who have potential. Fields wont be better than russ. This team needs a o line, receiver and coordinator.
You guys clearly know nothing Russ sucks at football I’m sorry but he just does. The reason why the passing game opened up is because Tomlin didn’t trust fields enough so he didn’t allow Arthur smith to call certain plays. Then when Russ came in tomlin allowed the entire offense to open up. Yes when you have gp he’s winning 90% of jump balls that doesn’t make russel Wilson good wtf. The running game started going downhill and the defense started going downhill because Russ can’t drive the ball down the field he is trash and if you disagree you know absolutely nothing. ESPN said ever since Russ started that you can’t win games that way. You all said they were wrong and guess tf what they were correct Russ is trash he needs to retire
QUARTERBACKS DON’T PLAY AGAINST EACH OTHER!!!!!! smh
Russ 16tds…5ints…95 qb rating

@@mikecara8181 don't know but am willing to take a gamble on him
If you're betting on the coin flip you should probably go get some help😅
Justin Fields took more sacks per dropback than Russ. Also doesn’t sound like there are any new signs, just speculation. No one knows what Tomlin will do. Will he choose the veteran who had nothing to work with the last 5 weeks? Or the ultimate hypothetical QB in Fields?
You say Fields took more sack we're there anyone in front of him that was supposed to prevent that
Russ had the same team that fields had so if russ didn't have anyone neither did fields
Fields also didn't force the ball and turned it over less
No he didn't learn math
Jalen warren was hurt and we didnt have Williams when justin was playing thats definitely a difference. @@cjy431
@cjy431 Fields also only played 6 games.....and in those 6 games he fumbled 6 times!!!! It was typical Fumblemaster 2000 football!!! Don't throw accurately, don't read the defense, take off running, and put the ball on the ground!!!! Welcome to Chicago revamped!!!!
This guy has no clue what QB the Steelers are leaning towards. He has no idea what needs to be done for the Steelers to be more successful. He is clueless just like Tomlin and Smith are. The Steelers problems start at the top and that includes the ownership of the Steelers. As long as the stadium is sold out. Nothing will change.
Cris carter another guy who tries to make hinself right backhandedly after the fact.
Russell Wilson is too easy to sack, too short in the pocket....his best days area behind him.
I been saying that from the get go
JF is easily sacked as well. Nobody sacked more in the last four years
Fields is a bonified bust. He has proven he can't read a defense, or lead an offense to an acceptable points per game. 4 years is enough tape to figure that out. We should bring a QB with knowledge in, and look to the draft for a bo nix type of QB that isn't top 10 talent but has a chance to grow. Fields isn't growing. He is at his absolute best right now. And his best is dollar general Lamar Jackson. And if Lamar Jackson can't beat the chiefs or bills, then how can fields? No. Absolutely not.
A Bonafide Bust yet, he's helping teams win. And not being able to read a defense is just whit white fans say about black qB. JF is literally one of the smartest QBs in the league. And one of the smartest ever to be drafted. JF has literally grown and gotten better every year. not only does his career stats prove it, but so does his stats over the last 20 games, Theyre , absolutely great. And you can only be a bust if you're drafted with the top 3 picks. I've never heard of a player called a bust who drafted after pick 5
@@sevinbamuels6560
Justin has the best Wonderlic score by a QB (former Bears long snapper Patrick Mannelly has the record for any NFL player with a perfect grade), and Fields also did have a high C2 ranking (which is the newer cognitive exam)
Hopefully Justin can escape Tomlin and start in Cleveland or NYG or Tenn. Too much Pittsburgh disrespect and negativity.
NYG & Tenn drafting a QB and nobody wants to go to cleveland
Cya if you not a fan, & if you are why are you tryna get rid of the little talent we have? You're an opp
Honestly, as a fan since 1956, and a successful coach since 1975, I wouldn't be upset if Fumblemaster 2000 was shipped out. His career stats are below average to average at best. He's a great backup and red zone gadget player but that's just about all!!!!!
Nah bro, Justin is actually the perfect QB for Mike T
He might escape but escape to another bench where he will sit
Justin doesn't throw with anticipation or throw guys open. In fact even when guys are open he's afraid to pull the trigger. He's so afraid to make a mistake. How do you fix that???
Problems between his ears. Can't be fixed. Besides he's a walking injury
Pacifist😂
Chris you are a hypocrite i see through you as day. I know your thoughts because you express them all season, Russell is your guy it's Russell you want for the for seeble future not justin so stop the narrative it's just the steelers wantz.
Russ is 37 and cooked. Can't move like he used too. Good night Wilson lover
I think you mean foreseeable future.....but honestly, I think if we run with Fumblemaster 2000 we're going to end up being as bad if not worse than the Jets and Giants next year. Look at Fields' stats!!! He's a slightly above average backup and red zone gadget player at the absolute best!!!! 17-33 career record, no playoff wins or experience for that matter, double digit fumbles every season except for this one, and he fumbled 6 times in 6 games, so he was definitely on pace. He has a career passer rating of 83.7 and the "average " quarterback has a passer rating of 90-95.
@craigjacobs6249 Russ will have a better season than Fields next year as a starter. Fields is a subpar QB.
That said I hope the Steelers sign him and "unleash" his talents because they'd only win around 5 games, he'd get booed off the field, and the FIRE Tomlin chants would begin.
