Do you think Fields is thinking if I run for 2 TDs and throw for 3 TDs I could take this job

Over permanently this week! Maybe just maybe the break out game is coming in Denver. I know, I know a lot of very optimistic emojis, LOL. DAMN I’m waiting for someone to take the reigns.

 

Seems every Steeler fan I've talk to thinks Fields is going to be the guy this season. They feel as I do, he will perform better in Denver.

If Fields has 2 rushing TD's and 3 passing TD's we must be in week 6. Just goofing.

 

I think Tomlin take it one week at the time at this point

 

At this point I will settle for 1 TD.

 

anything mre than 'Steelers win the toss and elect for a FG" will be welcome, lol

 

There's obviously a divide with those who want to see what they have in Fields and those who think Wilson gives them the better chance due to his past. I think what that group of people are seriously underestimating is Wilson's potential lack of mobility. He had already lost much of his ability to move and escape the pocket, now add in what could be a year long nagging injury and that spells disaster.

I don't feel like he's enough of an upgrade to risk the sack numbers soaring.

 

I expect Wilson to be the starter against the Chargers in week 3.

 

The determining factor in a permanent switch to Fields as the starter will be that conditional pick. If Fields looks like the long term solution and an extension after the season is likely then yes he is named the starter and they are fine with giving the Bears the fourth round pick. If not then they stay with Wilson and Fields plays less than 50% and costs the original 6th round.

 

Then that means you expect the Steelers to lose to Denver tomorrow. Tomlin isn't going to switch from Fields after a win.

 

Yeah, that is exactly what he is thinking. Justin probably understands that this is a huge opportunity and if he plays awesome, there is a good chance that he keeps the starting job. Hell, if he has a great season, he might even earn a contract to remain the starter for multiple more years....

I'd really like to see us sell out on offense to make him work. Call a "Justin Fields" gameplan and don't try to make him something he isn't. He is every bit as talented as Jalen Hurts... Lets use him that way.

To me, the magic number is 270. I think that is what Justin needs to give us offensively on a game to game basis for us to have a really good offense. I don't care how he gets it, but its probably along the lines of 220 in the air and 50 on the ground. He does that, and he will be the guy.

 

I will take ANY 5 TD performance by the Steelers offense.

 

I believe You are exactly point on in this.

 

I honestly don’t care who starts or wins the position, I just want one of them to step up and show they deserve it.

 

Fields was 3-4 on pass over 10 yards vs Falcons according to this....Need more and more pass attempts from this distance!

 

First and foremost protect the football. If Fields can play turnover free, and the Steelers keep winning, it's going to be tough to take him off the field.

This offense isnt going to put up a ton of points. If the Steelers can average in the low 20s they are going to win a lot of games.

 

Fields 3 passing TDs

I saw a unicorn in my backyard as well

 

I expect a game plan very similar to last week where they run the ball repeatedly, taking the odd low percentage shot on 1st and 2nd down.

As somebody else said his primary instruction will be to protect the football rather than play hero ball. I dont think the game plan will allow him to throw multiple TD’s and that’s fine once they come away with the W

 

Yeah,I agree for the intermediate passing game....I think we could see more of that today in the middle of the field since the broncos have a great CB and last week they avoid the middle of the field because the falcons had a great duo of safety...we will see I guess....

 

protect the football is paramount, sustaining drives and winning TOP, but you cannot rely on Boz week in and out (especially with 50 plus yard FG's) to be your main O weapon. This team needs to score TD's. Low 20's is a realistic goal, the 10th highest scoring team last year was around 25, not suggesting we could get there, but 6 Fg's a game is not going to cut it in a long season.
