    When we play the Jets in game #1 I am going to be worried when Fields takes off and runs. But will be happy as heck when he drops back and passes because there's a good chance that we either come away with the ball or it hits the ground.

    I will be surprised if we don't make him look bad.
    For a HC, and a DC that most think doesn't change, or help to change his game plans. I've seen a few ex players be made to look foolish, latest was when we played against T. Edmunds.....they were doing everything they knew he couldn't do, against him every time we needed a play. LoL I believe he lost his starting job right after that game.
    They know exactly what Fields can , and can't do.....it could be a very long game for him.

    No,I never bet in money or thing like that.I could be wrong too.I am not always right.I agree that Rodgers is likely to have a better year this year that last but I am not sure it will be enough to have higher that 11 wins and compete for the afc north title

    I am also confident that the Jets will be better that 5-12 in 2025 but we will see I guess

    He had 1td, 1int, and a fumble, and lost the game, and He was a rookie that people had very little NFL game tape on. Now He is someone that the Steelers know extremely well.

    The bears score also 27 points....The only time the steelers won a game by gave up 22 points or more in the Matt Canada era

    If I was you, I wouldn't put any money on Fields in this game against us. It could happen, but anything could happen, but the odds don't look favorable for him. They will go out if they're way to make it look like Iike they made the right choice, they done it to others that have played here before

    If Fields was better the Steelers would have kept him

    They did not

    I already spent time explaining this to you

    There are three points that verify I am right

    1) I’m normally right

    2) Fields was not given an offer accordingly

    3) Fields is not here

    He was given an offer as a backup

    Jets gave him an opportunity to start

    Im happy to teach you :thumbs_up:

    I love how people get upset over a few of his plays and think it was like his entire season.

    For instance he was not to far off DK numbers......

    Stats don't lie.

    by the way, we can't even find a replacement for him. Everyone else the Steelers go to look at with similar caliber, teams want a second round pick for.

    The Steelers are a 3 point favorite on the road against the Jets with a 61% chance of winning according to the latest Vegas line.

    His failures were way more than “a few plays”

    But there is no reason to rehash this

    I find it interesting the only person who agrees with the OP is @Brice@Brice but he would still vote to bring back DJ

    So you saying if he didn't have those failures, he would be better than DK?

    Pickens is a great receiver who was in a very poor offense and he will be much better in Dallas in a much better offense...But his attitude is also awful since his rookie year....Both can ba true and I predict a big season with a good attitude by Pickens since this is his contract year but the question is how he will act if he has a 30 millions per year contract after that?

    Really depends on his mentality and if he can handle not being the guy. Lamb gets a ton of targets.

    True but Pickens is also likely to have more one on one situation because of Lamb...He is in a very good situation for this year if it don't work,it will be his own fault

    Did Noll keep Roy Jefferson? The best player on the team at that time?
