Fields is Steelers Digest player of the week

What I liked about Fields on Sunday was his nice touch on soft tosses which was totally missing the last 2+ years. And he does pinpoint a number of the long tosses very well (helps when 14 is the target). They don't all have to be lasers although over the middle will of course necessitate that. The overthrows in the 2nd half were frustrating and who really knows what was going on (wrong routes? avoiding INTs? other?) but the play calling in general sucked after the 10 pt lead. His scramble ability is an asset at this point but hopefully not the norm like a few other "running" QBs who constantly lead their team in rushing stats.

 

And others blamed wr … overthrew him by 5 yds

 

Um.. if Fields plays well... wouldn't that mean he should be the unquestioned starter moving forward given the fact he will be 26?! For that matter, why not use next year's first to acquire either a WR or IDL?! That would make the most sense.

 

I just love how everyone thinks that a franchise QB has to come from the draft. People act like every QB we draft is gonna be another Ben. Do you guys not pay attention to HISTORY, How many QB’s have we drafted that has had success? TWO.

people on here thinking the next one we draft is gonna be a franchise quarterback, got news for ya, they are hard to come by.

A Franchise qb doesn’t have to be one we pick from the draft. It just has to be someone that fits into our system, someone that can learn and adjust.

Sure the Bengals, Jags, Ravens, Eagles, Chargers, Dolphins, Bills, 49ers, Chiefs, Texans has all drafted their Franchise QB’s. But other than Mahomes, how many SB Championships do they have?

Point is that all these teams seem to have found their franchise qb, but what have they done for their teams other than decline each season? Outside of Mahomes and Stroudt that’s having success. And I just about bet Stroudt will decline as the years go by.

 

If he could only throw it and catch himself. We would win the SB

 

Disagree. Good WRs can be had in rounds 2-4. Steelers need as many QBs as possible.

 

How many superbowls has the Steelers won? 6 and all of them were from a drafted qb
Bradshaw and Ben

 

My bad. Well....I wonder why they did it.
Also a few on that list could be on the .....when will they turn back into a pumpkin list.

 

There have also been a few 9- 10 Ravens games that were great.

 

The steelers-ravens game from the 2008 to 2010 period were always so good!

 

So is Luther Burden III, Tetairoa McMillan or even Emeka Egbuka not worthy of the First Round Hype they have been getting this College Season?! For that matter, given how the likes of Shedeur, Carson and Quinn are likely going to be gone before Pittsburgh selects, don't you think selecting the best player available is more important?! Seldom does drafting for need ever work.


You know this Heinz. C'mon man..

 

Well that’s obvious, how many years was there in between? So half us board members won’t be alive the next time we DRAFT a franchise QB.

So in another 26 years I will be 80 years old.

 

I plan on hanging on a little longer

 

It could be worse. LoL. There are teams fans still out there that have never even seen a SB for their team.

 

It’s unfortunate, but most teams draft and groom a qb to build championship teams. Hopefully our organization gets it right and drafts n grooms a winner.
At least you will be 80, ill be dust by than.

 

Justin Fields is Here to STAY - QB Breakdown with Chase Daniel (youtube.com)

 

I agree with your assessment but let’s also be fair you know MT is pulling the strings behind the scene and wanting him to be ultra conservative.

 

I said this before. Chase Daniel will not talk badly about certain Qbs. I have watched Him on a show on FOX sports, and he's pretty much a yes man to whatever they say. He also if people will watch will skip bad plays by certain Qbs. That's why I stopped watching Him.....He's just like Big Ben....He doesn't like talking bad about Qbs. Whereas JT. O'Sullivan just says what He sees. It doesn't matter who the Qb is , or what team He plays on.

 

Why do You people keep saying this....Yet when Ben played this wasn't true, when Trubisky played this wasn't true, and when Mason played this wasn't true. Was not Mike Tomlin the HC when those guys played???

 

so you don’t think MT is a defense first conservative HC. WOW. Goodnight.

 

Nice how you moved the goal posts after being busted for making a false post

 

I think it’s time for your mylanta pops. I said Tomlin is a conservative coach in both posts not sure what you are reading. Want me to spell it out for you??

 

You can’t spell

And go back and read your two different posts I did

But I can read
