STEELERS FANS WANTING SAM DARNOLD

No to Darnold, he was working with great WRs in Minnesota. Just say no.

I try an sign Fields to a 2-year deal with a club option for the third. Not a bank breaker, maybe $15 million per and a few incentives.

I try and draft Will Howard to watch and learn. What's better than 1 Buckeye QB? 2 of course.

 

Do you really think Tomlin is going to just give up on a season like that?

 

Fields will be cheaper, but likely not as good. Take a look at their passing numbers this season. I know Darnold had better receivers, but even that doesn't account for the huge difference between his production and that of Fields.

 

LOL. We have heard it from too many players for me to believe that. I have no doubt that the Steelers promised Wilson he would be the starter. I think he has given players one expectation going into a season, then refused to stick to that when those players faltered.

 

Fair, you said the same upside, but even that is laughable. Rudolph and Allen have no upside. They are what they are. Even with the ugly finish, Darnold took a big step forward this year. You are talking about the difference between a starter who threw for 4,319 yards and 35 touchdowns, a backup, and a third stringer.

I will ask again. Which were those six bad games this year for Darnold? He had a mid-season stinker in a win over the Jags and the two ugly ones at the end. What other game was bad?

 

Do you mean 41.5 a year or total for two years?

Fields is not worth 41.5 a year, not for a QB that can't throw a deep ball accurately and read defenses. He wasn't good enough passer to keep a washed Russel Wilson from taking the job back.

The Cowboys way overpaid mediocre Prescott at 60 million per year, and Fields isn't near good as him. That contract is going to be an albatross on them.

41.5 for two years, then that is okay, that makes him an affordable bridge to the QB drafted in 2026.

This team cannot overpay for a mediocre to bad QB's with so many holes in the trenches, receiving corps, and secondary. Might as well pick up a cheap one in free agency or take a gamble on a late round prospect.

 

Sorry, I missed the shift key for the dollar sign, $15 million per.

 

Trade Watt and Pickens. Stock up as many picks as can. Trade or fire Tomlin. Get the cheapest QB you can find for 2025. Try get a franchise QB in 2026.

 

Nobody is guaranteed a roster spot. Much less a starter role. And they all know it. You have to earn it even if somebody 'promises'. Any player that gets upset because he was 'promised' a position and then it didn't just happen because it was 'promised', is a pampered fool. Those players do not last in the NFL.

 

By acquiring Darnold?

 

Brilliant

 

agree CJ, i would rather go to the draft in 26 and suffer 25 under Wilson or Fields and our fearless leader coach. We have the makings of a real good offensive line, and a couple good TE’s, i think. But wr and RB, we need to fix.
