Did Fields lock up QB1?

Please stop relying on ad hominem arguments when you can't provide evidence to support your opinion.

The evidence has proven that the Earth is not flat. There is no evidence to support the election deniers claims. Neither of those situations are comparable to judging Pickett's motivations, where we do not have definitive evidence.

The far more likely outcome is that Pickett saw that the Steelers had mishandled him from the jump. They allowed him to go through with the tightrope procedure on his ankle to try to rush him back, then didn't let him play. Then they signed Wilson to take his job. He likely saw that as them giving up on him as their long-term answer at quarterback. I certainly hope that is the case, because it would have been incredibly stupid to trade him away for peanuts if they still thought he could be their guy. Was it poor judgement on his part to ask for a trade? Sure, but attributing cowardice to it when you have no evidence to back it up seems like speculative fiction writing on your part.

 

In all honesty, Fields lost qb1 with his performance against a very depleted Cowboys defense.
Plus we are 20 in scoring
19 in RZ scoring
28 in passing

 

It is simple. You are talking about 2025 and beyond as your argument for Fields. That is putting future concerns ahead of what is best for the current team, so it is fair to say you are talking about playing for 2025 instead of 2024.

I know you have seen the same reports I have, that they promised Wilson the job to get him to sign here. Those reports fit the available evidence, including Pickett's reaction. Do you really think they moved Pickett without having some idea they could get Fields? Especially given how short a time it was between those moves?

There is an advantage to Tomlin not naming a starter yet. It makes the Jets' preparation more difficult.

 

The long term answer at Qb is not currently on the roster.

 

The coward ran out the door

That is a fact

Spin it anyway you want

I’m done wasting time trying to edumicate you

 

No, it is an opinion, one that is not supported by the available evidence. I don't see any attempt at educating anyone here. I just see you lobbing unfounded insults.

 

Adam Rank on the NFL Network was saying last night that he thinks the Steelers are sitting Fields so they don't have to give the Bears their 4th pick. I don't know if that is anywhere near the truth, it seems that is farfetched.

 

I got a 12 grade edumication

 

And apparently well earned

 

It would appear Adam Rank is an idiot

 

That seems a bit of a stretch, out of the next 12 games its not hard to imagine he may get the call to start 4 out of possible injury alone. WHo really knows the inner workings of MT's mind, but not sure he thinks that far ahead.

 

We walked to school uphill both ways

 

I may be wrong, but i think it's 50% of the snaps, Russ staying healthy starting 8.5 of the remaining games would be the about the mark, could happen but I just cant see that reasoning at this point. If Russ had started the season, got injured and it came down to the last game, I could see them pulling him, especially if PO's were out of the picture.
