Steelers QB Justin Fields returning kicks would 'maximize' options | Pro Football Talk | NFL on NBC
/ nflonnbc - กีฬา
Mike Tomlin will return the kick offs.
He already has experience on the Steelers kickoff coverage team
Tomlin only defends kickoffs.
@@benaiah93😂😂
😂😂😂😂
he'll be better as a gunner
I knew Jaylan wasn’t supposed to say anything lol 😆
If this is true why did we sign Patterson?
That would be an insult to Fields.
His play is an insult to himself.
@@davidmitchell6873 Exactly
Justin Fields can't throw, he can only run. The question is can he catch?
@@cmarbormaster Fields was one of the most accurate passers at OSU. It’s not his fault he landed in a shitty situation.
If i were fields id rather get cut than to return kickoffs, dude has to start speaking up for himself.
I beg Danny smith was just having a laugh and this is getting blown out of proportion. It’s just like wtf if this is real, even if fields would be great at it like cmon
He's terrible what is he going to say?
@@PatriotWatchUSA say no lol football isn’t everything, it doesnt matter if you have a long carry or short career one thing is guaranteed its gonna come an end one day.
I mean Fields can't throw he can only run. It makes sense, the question is can he catch?
Fields has no leverage based on QB skills, he's better off as a returner.
The fact It has made it this far.... shows you the media Is A joke...
Danny Smith will not put fields back there.
Unbelievable the media and fans fell for this.😂😂😂
Kick the beater is wild
Disrespectful to ask that from your QB
Disrespectful? Calm down
@@R17759 is Lamar returning kicks?
@@johnofmalta i know you aren’t playing dumb…. Nothing I can do to help you, bruh
@@w00deey12Why would they have their starting QB do that? Or really any starter for that matter?
@@R17759 how do we know Justin Fields is not the starter?
If Justin Fields had a better completion percentage - he’s just over 60 - and a better TD-2-INT ratio - he’s 4:3 - then we wouldn’t be discussing this. He’s been in the league three years and by now you would really like to see 67 and 3. I mean, Brock Purdy is there with a passer rating over a 100 and one Super Bowl played after two years, and within a breath of another the year prior. Now naturally Fields is REALLY fast and that ironically works against him. But with Justin’s numbers I’m seeing a receiver who wants to be a quarterback and not the other way around.
If he's not starting QB he would definitely be used in some other capacity. He's too valuable as an athlete to just sit on the bench.
False.
I don’t think he would swallow his pride and do that.
Till he blows out a knee making a cut on one of those kick returns….
The Bears let Fields start at QB for 3 years. The Steelers want to put him on special teams after 1 month LMAO
Steelers are smart. He no QB
I can’t believe you actually ran with this.
I bet he lights it up on kickoff returns. Lightening fast. Dynamic with the ball. I really don't see anything disrespectful about giving a young pro an opportunity make an impact in the NFL. Steelers do this historically. Slash, Hine Ward, others.
He's carrer over
He's got the Canadian league to fall back on.
The special team coach was probably saying something to the effect of "This kickoff thing is new and different. We're going to be trying everything. Heck who knows maybe even Fields gets back there? " That was my read on what Warren was saying
bears messed that man up.. caleb next
a 6th rd pick? I'd say 31 other teams wouldn't agree
Did the 49ers mess up Trey Lance or did he just like JF? I'm asking for a friend
He's a good runner when teams don't account for a QB running. I'm betting he's nothing special when they know he's running.
This seems on par with the "Kendrick Green will play fullback" talk from last year. It's a fun little gimmick, but unlikely to get utilized in the regular season.
Dumbest take ever. Danny Smith was not serious when he said it, he was making a joke. The younger generations don't understand sarcastic humor anymore. Last year was the highest rate of injuries to QBs.....no possible way the Steelers are going to put one of their QBs in harm's way.....just stupid.
I thought he was joking as well
That would make sense if he was a franchise qb. Big diffrence between lamar and feilds. Lamar can pass for more then 150 yrds a game. Actually play qb in 4th wuarter actually win games. Feilds hasnt done any of that. So back to the stupid comparisons like when feilds was in chicago
Want to injure your backup qb, let him do kick returns.
"We will agree at the appropriate time to put it out there." News moves fast. As you knew and confirmed, you should have put it out there.
Cordel Stuart...
Seems like an intentional distraction for not signing Harris's 5th year.
Oh, so Justin is the new / Stewart?
Justin Fields 4.45
Calvin Austin 4.32 (might have been faster)
That is stupid because he's a backup quarterback at this point so if he happens to get injured on a kick return they would look like total idiots if they were to ask me I would tell them I absolutely won't do it period
This the guy the bears were clamoring to keep?
You 2 are retaded if you don’t think this a joke
Cordalle patterson vanished?
Steelers are trolling 🤣love to see media use any info to create content. Let’s just wait till season starts and worry bout it then. Here we go Steelers! 🤘
He'd better tell them no because once he does that they're gonna leave him there and he won't quarterback anymore and yes it's a slap in the face and it's been many black QB's who were made running backs, receivers, and defensive backs and it's wrong
What happened to he a francbise qb? Like bears fans beleive now kick returner lmfao.
and Steeler fans. You forgot the Steeler fans. They think he's great
Raiders need a QB why didn't Pickett, fields, any of them go there. Why didn't the Raiders draft Milton and Rattler like wtf are they doing?
Wow … don’t write-off Fields as a starting QB in this league. He was turning a corner last-year and with the quality of coaching in Pittsburgh, Fields could bust-out and win a lot of football-games.
Why didn't Pitt coach up the four other QB they had on their roster the last few years?
I thought Pittsburgh was going to be a serious organization, but they aren't. First, this is an organization the last 3 or 4 years where the starter couldn't play the entire season. But it's a good idea to make your backup QB a gimmick kick returner. Wilson will be 36 this season and statistically the odds are against him health-wise. Also, it's okay to be wise with your money and make sound decisions. But the Steelers are cheap. They do not pay their important skill players. It's okay to offer Wilson or Fields $12 million a year. It's okay to give a top 7 RB in the NFL $7 million. Being cheap has got the Steelers what? They have not won a playoff game since 2016. Finally, I hope Fields requests a trade. If he does kick return or WR for any plays this year his career as an NFL QB is over (look at Craig Carton just disrespecting Fields as a person). Which is probably what Steelers want so they can pay him as a kick returner and not a QB. If Steelers told Tomlin, you aren't winning playoff games but you are a great speaker. We will use you as our PR guy and not coach. Tomlin would tell them to f off. This is what they are doing to Fields. Next years draft class is not great, there are a lot of aging QBs in the NFL. I hope Fields sits the bench and serves this one year sentence as a Steeler. Some team will pay him something next year and actually use him as a QB not a gimmick player.
What. In. The. Blue. H3ll. Is. Going. On? Come on man.
this guest just isn't like the others hard to watch
Justin Fields returning kicks bad idea.
Personally, i think you maximize a quarterback's talents by having him play quarterback
Did anyone ask Justin. Seems like a bad idea especially that would put all their eggs in Wilson's basket as QB.
rediculous idea
Love that everybody thinks Russ is good to go even though Russ had more talent 2 years ago on the Broncos then he does now on the Steelers. Does anybody remember what Russ did two years ago with a more talented roster, HE DID NOTHING LOL. STEELER ACT LIKE THEY HAVE QBs NOW BUT WHAT THEYRE DOING IS MAKING SURE THEY DONT HAVE A QB IN 1 YEARS if they make Justin a Kick Returner.
So… the kick returners on the Steelers are just content to let a quarterback take their job?
He’s one of the best athletes on the team
@@R17759 So, are the Ravens gonna have Lamar return kicks? He's one of the best athletes on the team
@@w00deey12Not the same at all
@@R17759 no, no... we live in a world where Kirk D Cousins who has never done anything in the NFL can be upset about his team making him prove that he is back from an ACL injury, yet we float a story about how the Steelers can just turn quarterbacks into kick returners and Fields just has to not be upset about that....
Disrespectful
That will be the crown level of stupidity!!! I sincerely hope Pittsburgh isn't becoming stupid because they now have talent in the QB room.
@davidmitchell6873 your comment doesn't bother me. Keep trying, though.
They have a has been and a never will be in that quarterback room now.
Ignorant comment deleted. I was going for humor but instead was offensive.
YES but no QB in the QB room
It was a joke lmao
No it wasn’t
@@yahcrack ok I’ll be back when Cordarrelle Patterson is the starting kick returner. See ya in a few months.
Nah wtf
Got to be the stupidest take I've ever heard.
It's a complete disrespect to fields. crazy he is a QB. Don't know if I really believe it could be a joke
You'd think he would be happy getting on the field. He won't as a QB
Justin fields is a QUARTERBACK
He will someday be a star in the Canadian league.
Not a very good one
This chick on the right is the worst
