Listen, Russ is the bestter QB. Steelers fans are being dense at this point. Go with the guy who gives you the best chance to make a deep playoff run. That is Russ.
Get rid of tomlin
Coming from a fan in Washington state. I think they are feeling out the future for Fields. They have dats now. The line was questionable so to protect Russ…calf and older..they used these games to heal and gather data. Russ will read the defense better then Fields and make wiser plays! I'm in Seahawk country and been watching Russ since day 1. We need our O to be a little more potent. Add Deviante Adam's and Russ…will see what's up. For the future I think they want Fields.
It would have been such a Machiavellian move for Russ to have faked this injury, knowing he's the better QB, so that people couldn't call for him to be benched if the offense failed him early in the season. Let's get real: if Russ had performed the way JF performed over the first 5 weeks, most people would be calling for him to be benched. The margin of error is smaller for Russ because (1) we expect more and (2) he's the significantly older of the two.
I said from the beginning that Russ might want to consider letting JF start early without declaring it, allow him to show how limited he is, and then take over and be the hero. The NOISE that came with JF's acquisition after Russ's signing was completely unfair to Russ, but it was exactly the reason the Bears didn't keep JF. They didn't want any questions about which basket they should put their eggs into.
Russ is the dude, and if he had played, the Steelers would be 4-1 or 5-1 right now without question, and Russ's stats would completely dwarf JF's. Now, once he comes in, he comes in as a calming influence and as a hero. He comes in as the guy who provides a clinic for how a grown a$$ man gets it done as an NFL QB.
I listened to these boneheaded analysts with their garbage: "You start Russ only because it's easier to go from Russ to JF than it is to go from JF to Russ."
That was always bs. If JF gets benched, he goes to the bench as a guy who knows he can still be the future…a guy who is doing an internship before taking over the gig full-time. That's all. It won't kill his confidence. He is receiving some valuable tutelage from Russ.
If Russ gets released, that's good for Russ. His haters want him released, and a lot of his fans want him released for his sake. Russ may request to be cut. Other NFL teams will be chomping at the bit to get him. I think Russ as a free agent will go to Miami, Cleveland, or (if Purdy gets injured) SF.
Russ's haters are going to spin the releasee negatively regardless of whether Russ requests it or not. If he doesn't request it, the narrative will be, "the Steelers knew he was washed and always wanted JF to be the guy." If Russ requests the release, "the Steelers knew they wanted JF the whole time and Russ isn't a team player…this proves it."
Russ can't win in this situation. The media is just continually interfering in that man's life and career. Leave him alone and let him play! Let his career do whatever its going to do.
Nobody said it better than Big Ben about why Najee is having a hard time and that it's not his fault. You guys keep believing that JW is the answer to test if you want to. I love the guy but it's not a RB issue. Teams are run blitzing every time Najee is in the game because they don't have to respect our passing game. That is why the run game broke open late against the Chargers with Patterson and Harris. Also, Najee's runs almost all look the same at the C and D gaps. He rarely gets A and B gap runs.
If Justin doesn’t take another snap this season he’ll have offers at the end of the year, and don’t think he didn’t have offers before he came to Pittsburgh he just preferred to go there and Poles honored that and he’ll have more offers now
Overreaction Power Ranking Song has to be a combination of Renegade and Party Hard. Once Renegade hits, “The jig is up, the news is out,” transition to “So let’s get a party going.”
We wouldn’t be having problems with Pickens if we were getting him the ball. Once again we need a quarterback. Lucky we didn’t get Ayuk cuz we would have 2 top receivers unhappy. We should put in Allen. Try him out.
All defensive list and the offense provided a game winning drive and the defense gave it up 😂
Justin Fields isn't better than Kyle Allen…hopefully Russ will be back this week and Fields is no where near the player even at 36 of a Russell Wilson..Justin Fields is trash man.
it comes down to this Sunday. if JF wins and plays well. theyll keep Russ on the sidelines for a bit yet. if. he loses or reverts to Chicago form overtly, Russ comes in. i think they see Fields as the future and Russ as a stopgap. they weren't gonna pay RW unless he came in and reverted to star form as though it was a revenge type thing.
Lets see what happens with Roman added to the mix. I think he would be great at freeing up some coverage on Pickens.
but will he make a difference? thats the question theres no wiggle room left for excuses with steeler nation
Putting wilson in is the worst thing the steelers can do he will get sacked over and over and start checking down it's on the o line and receivers not fields
Please get rid of Pat Myer get a good o- line coach munchach
Again with your Justin Fields talk. Justin Field is an average quarterback who looks average every week outside of maybe one to 2 good plays. still struggles with accuracy and struggles to make the right read and throw still only averaging about 170 yards passing a game. Yes he’s cut down on the turnovers, but that’s because they try to limit him so he’s not turning it all over Russell Wilson is going to improve the offense tremendously. Simple fact is Team won’t stack the box and it will open up the run game because they will be worried about us throwing the ball over top built not good. You keep it up with all the field height. He is an average quarterback that’s why you got it from Chicago for nothing
Also bowling out against the Raiders meet what? So he goes out and balls out against the Raiders, who were playing with a back up quarterback and they’re not good and you’re expected to keep Justin Field as a starter so he can shit the bed against the good teams again gotcha you make no sense. I don’t know. Awesome. You guys get your jobs
Mason Rudolph is why the Steelers made the playoffs. Why are you sucking Tomin's johnson so much? Disgusting and a very bad optic.
Russell will lead them to the playoffs and has a better chance to win in the playoffs.
Better hope its Wilson !!
That Raisers QB bout to look like Tom Brady out there
I want russell wilson to start Watching see what he does😊
Fields is horrible. Playing just like in chicago literally exactly like that. Less than 200 yards passing per game average. One touchdown or less per game average. Same stats as Chicago. Another year of almost dead last ranked offense. Time for a spark put Russell Wilson in. Fields look a average and im being generous on that.
Tomlin needs to go!
Broderick is a guard & Harris will be good on another team that has a line. Just like Conner in Arizona. Its not RBs in Pittsburgh or QBs. Its the lines & coaching. 7 years straight
2025 draft. Donavon Jackson guard. Ohio State !!!
Here in Tampa it's all over and devastating.
Need a RB. Get 1 of them Buckeyes RB
I think Pickens is just upset about the team trying to trade for another WR 1
Listen Russ can take it all the way this year and Fields still needs to work on his game he’s not ready to take it to the superbowl this year and if we get DA we have all we need
I hope fields goes for 250 and doesn’t throw a pick so that he can play some more and maybe get the bears a fourth round pic instead of sixth. Other than that if he plays a good defense he’s gonna fall on his face
