IF STEELERS GO FOR FIELDS

I’m actually warming to the idea of Wilson. We can get cheap for a year and not lose draft capital. Under Arthur Smith and a strong run game and play action it could be perfect for resurrecting his career. KP can sit and learn for a year.

 

In all honestly the modern day Steelers QB he compares most directly to is Landry Jones. Not great company.

 

Wilson on a favorable contract might be ok... He isn't the player he used to be, but maybe he could be fine for a year or two. I just don't like Russell as a person. He just seems like such a fake and such a tool. As a player in the current situation, maybe he'd be fine.

 

In that context it might work, but again sitting KP for a year still has drawbacks for the team in the long run. You get Russ cheap for a year, then you overpay for an aging QB (did we not do that with Ben), or you pick up the 5th year option on KP not really knowing if he really learned anything.

We are in that no man's land, if you move up to get a QB pick you still have a high chance he is not great or even better than mediocre. I'm not saying things they try won't work, but the decades between TB and Ben were not great, a few moments and better success when Cowher came, but still a lot of angst. It is what it is, the QB position is pretty sparse with talent as it is, if he gets cut and you can bring him in, he is probably the best and possibly cheapest with the options they have, honestly nothing really drives deep hope at this point.

 

I'd just like him to turn out to be Neil O'Donnell (minus the Super Bowl interceptions ).

 

You always accuse me of being a bit hyperbolic (which I admit to, lol), but my use of hyperbole pales in comparison to some of these "experts" who think Fields is the guy to put the Steelers over the top. Fields' career thus far has been less than stellar so what makes these guys think that all of a sudden he's going to transform into Mahomes 2.0 if he dons the Black & Gold?

 

I think that the fact that Fields has gotten better every year in Chicago coupled with the fact that the Steelers have a run game, some quality young weapons, and just an overall better offensive situation that the one he walked into in Chicago has people thinking that Fields could be even better than he has been. This could be good enough to get the Steelers offense to viability to match an already quality defense. I don't think anyone thinks Fields will be Mahomes, just that he would be a lot better than what we currently have, and that could be enough to get us in contention with teams like KC, Baltimore, and Buffalo.

ESPN believes if the Steelers trade their second round pick this year, and one of their fourth round picks to get Fields.

 

That's the exact scenario they have been saying on 93.7 the fan. A second and a fourth for Fields.

 

Sorry Pittsburgh, but the odds took a serious hit today and the Steelers are no longer the favorite to land Fields.

After Fields deleted all his Bears stuff on Scoial media, and started following a few players from Atlanta; the Falcons are now the odds on favorite to land fields.

End of story

 

KFP not even close to Neil

 

agreed

Wilson + a draft pick

Wilson is a good fit, for what we have and are doing. Lean on the run game + Pickens, DJ (or if they trade him, find the next STUD or get a talent FA) + 88

Let this D rest a little too!!

 

nope - not even worth the energy to type it

 

smoke, mirrors, charades - young players, social media - ALL pre free agency noise!

sit tight!!!

and DON'T listen to dummy Dulac

 

Question: Would you pick up his 5th year option for $25 million in May without ever seeing him play a down for the Steelers?

 

Field can't take care of the ball and Arthur Smith didn't want him in Atlanta. What has he done in the last three years to improve his stock since then?

 

To me we have a short window as a lot of our key players are in their prime . The team needs better QB play so the question is how much better is Fields than KP.? IMO he is much better .

 

MT wants ball security above everything, and I understand this . The
Emperor knew this was paramount along with having a stellar defense
and good kicking game. Stack w's
