    No, those aren’t Justin Fields numbers, those are Russel Wilsons last season in Denver. Sprinkle in the rest with games in the 200 yards and two games for 300+ yards. That 95 yard clunker had two picks along with it, that was a beauty of a game.

    Don’t think some of you realize what you are getting with Russ. You just see the 26 TD’s. Fields was well on his way to doing that with 10 in 6 games.

    He hasn’t played a game in 10 months and yet he is expected to come in and save the day. The only way this move makes sense to me is if it is in Wilsons contract that he gets to start. Makes some sense the way he left here without a contract and then the same with the Giants. Reports were that the Giants wouldnt agree to that so maybe the Steelers did.

    Fair enough. Just felt like the criticism or the frequency thereof was a bit premature. May be a reaction to the Kahn Artist stuff...which also feels premature. He's definitely not Tiger 2000 flushing it. :drinks:

    That sounds like a description of Tomlin.

    If our center is out I have a bad feeling for this game. Jet's D isn't a joke so they will put pressure up front until we PROVE we can consistently pass the ball and move the chains. If play #1 is hand off to Najee, impose will predictability that is just dumb. We have to start becoming creative and unpredictable. How about a quick slant or high percentage pass whatever that is in our system, maybe a TE pass but with our line being decimated I think our TE's will be in block mode most of the game.

    I usually give a guy some time to really chaff my arse before I pile on pain/hate.
    He's got a flat spot here and there on his wheel currently, maybe that's not his doing.
    He doesn't deserve any glowing reviews yet, find a franchise QB and that will change pretty quick.
    :drinks: I'm with you.

    Would you think it wouldn't? Look at the QB salaries. The 5th year option was 25 mill. They declined. Do you think Fields right now is worth 40 to 45 mill a season? Because that's what it's going to take.

    Yea such great leadership that they hated him with the Seahawks and the Broncos oh and ate a dead cap hit that most teams would choke on just to get him out of the building.

    I don't think it is a foregone conclusion that Wilson will be the starter Sunday night. Tomlin said that he would wait until closer to game time to announce the starter.

    Why do you think Sean Payton hated Russ he holds the ball doesn’t throw on time like Drew did for him with the saints. Russ will be sacked at least 5 times with this line and receivers Sunday.

    The Raiders, being as bad as they are, should’ve been Wilson’s first game. With the Jets, the offense will need to rely on the defense to hold Rodgers and company to less than 20 points

    Bill's Davis ran all over the Jets D last night, despite not being their #1 RB. I suspect Tomlin & crew will want to keep running the ball, but agree with you 100% that they have to mix it up to keep the Jets D honest.

    Teams like the Rams, Seahawks, and Giants would be foolish to wait to get their future QB, just because they have a veteran QB already under contract.

    That guy forgot to mention in his tweet that the Steelers are ranked 28th in passing.

    Well, the trade deadline isn't until November 5th so we can't say Khan isn't addressing the issue.

    The Bengals just beat the Giants playing bad offense, I'm more worried about the Jets game.

    How do you figure that this makes Fields the starter in 2025?

    145 yrds passing by Fields is not going to secure a starting QB job, we got the win we are 4-2 but...
    I'm ok with Wilson starting, if he can throw for 300 yrds and get the win, show poise, distribute the ball, ok, if not... enter the dark side...
    if Wilson is given the keys this week he controls his own destiny

    Yes....I totally hear You, but if they don't try another Qb.....then they don't know if other things need more work, or is it the Qb. This way.....however it works out....they get a better look at the whole offense, and what they should keep, get rid of, pay, or cut.

    Whats the difference between Fields throwing for a buck something and Wilson throwing for 300 - both winning the game. I get it. Nice to see some numbers, but Wilson isn't going to escape the rush.

    I would like to see what Wilson can do. I fear he wont last behind these tackles, especially swiss-cheese Jones. Should be interesting.

    Difference is, or could be if it works.....is the Defense has to really defend the whole field....instead of just playing the run all game ....except when we are 3rd, and long.
    This is the whole Idea, or why You have a passing game, and a running game. A Qb, and a RB.
    Also everyone keeps talking about we are winning. We are basically winning with D, and special team. Notice the only games the D didn't keep the other team below 20 ....we lost. You can't expect the D to be perfect every freaking game .
    This D has allowed the least amount of points per game this year, and has had the best turnover rate in the Red zone this year. Yet we still lost two games because the offense couldn't do enough. Hell it may not work, but we must see.
