A BEAUTIFUL DAY ☀️ Justin Fields is the FUTURE of the Steelers! - Stephen A. Smith | First Take 

God I wish Molly would just let them talk.

It’s so annoying when Molly tries to explain something to one of them, when it’s like…really? Thanks for telling us the most obvious thing….and spewing overused clichés

5 minutes in, I can’t do it anymore, Molly irks me 😂

Molly needa Do some research on Steelers record against AFC North last year .

Can Molly shut up for once?

Please let Molly go, she not it 😢

Molly shut up plzz 😂😂😂

It’s baffling how ESPN does all these random firings yet Molly is still there….

Molly needs to stop acting like she’s part of the debate show. She’s the moderator, not a participant.

MOLLY SHUTUPPPPPP

Molly we would like to hear from the Steelers fan.

Molly talking is the equivalent of an airhorn going off while you're trying to study in a library

“Promises are like pie crust, thin and easily broken!” 🔥🔥🔥

ESPN just can’t help themselves you have 3 professional men (Tomlin Russ Justin) no controversy Russ will start if he stinks Justin will play no drama neither of those guys are messy

Please cut Molly's mic off!!!!!!!!!!! For God's sake this is brutal

Molly shutttt uppppp!!

I just can’t do molly

*My boys are trying to become SERIOUS contenders AGAIN!!! The HATERS can say what they want, but in just a few months, the Steelers have ENDED the QB drama we were left with at the end of last year, picked up a veteran QB and his potential replacement moving forward!!! Fields could learn a lot from Wilson while he's there and also at a cheap price tag so that capital can go towards more possibly free agents!!! Plus, we've got the draft!!! As a Steelers fan, I'm already EXCITED about the upcoming season, and I haven't felt this way since the Killer B's!!! One thing's for sure this ISN'T the same OLE STAIL STICK IT OUT, Steelers, most of us TRUE FANS are used to PERIOD!!! GO STEELERS!!!*

does Molly not understand you dont always have to play your own divisional teams in the divisional round, he literally said not the AFCN champs, winning the division and making it to the divisional round are completely different things

Stephen A. gave a great opening take. Justin Fields has time to learn and grow. Good take 🙏🏿

To be fair Justin did not have an offensive line to protect him nor a good offensive coordinator to develop him.

This is Field's best chance to gain respect from the rest of the league. He's an Atlanta kid but even his hometown team passed on him. He needs to make a statement in Pittsburgh and make all these other teams put respect on his name.

I was screaming at my tv saying Molly please be quiet. Now I’m watching the podcast and the comment section agrees with me 😂😂😂

Gotta love Shannon's analogy..."promises are like pie crust, thin and easily broken".

Steelers went 5-1 in the North last season with Canada, Pickett, and Mason and that other guy. why these people need to be reminded of this? Steelers run the North. #HEREWEGO

Molly wants to be an analyst and she is not.

Soon as Molly learns her job, Stephen A. And unc gon be the best show on TV

GOD how doe Molly still have a Job?

I'm enjoying Stephen A. and Shannon S. They sound like two brothers in the barbershop

A biblical journey is coming ! Go Steelers

As a diehard Pittsburgh Steelers fan I’m loving this from the media. I’m loving how we came from a playoff team last year starting starting off at one and five and now we’re the most talked about team in the off-season I was talking to fellow friend yesterday who is a eagle fan that my Pittsburgh Steelers will be the Super Bowl this year

I normally can't stand Stephen A but there's something about Shannon that keeps him, I don't know, contained? And it works. Stephen A is obviously a smart man. Its nice being able to listen to him instead of tuning out the screeching...

Its crazy how all last year Justin and Russ were dragged in the media but now they are both on the Steelers and its some momentus occasion smh. Crazy how that works.

molly be so abrupt lmao sheesh

I could go without Molly talking over Stephan A and Shannon sharpe for a minute straight.

Y’all notice everyone been changed around except Molly 😂 I ain’t gone say nothing but….

JF1 deserved better in Chicago with everything he did for the franchise. He wasn’t perfect, but he embraced the the city and carried an entire organization while a new front office decided to tank his 2nd year. With questionable coaching in places and a lack of talent elsewhere, he was still becoming better every season. Happy for the Steelers. As a Bears fan, I’m convinced they’re getting a future great QB in Fields.

He’s still young and talented he will develop and be fine WATCH (coming from an Eagles fan 🦅)

Joy Taylor, was the perfect moderator on FS1. Never interrupted. It’s about knowing ur role-A moderator sets the table not engage/interrupt. She has an ego ESPN allows it

Finally a QB we can build on!👍

Skip is a better moderator than molly, and that's a crazy statement i just made

Molly don’t even give Steven a enough time to finish I’m glad he kept going

SAS, the fan is coming out on this take 😆 🤣

At some point, SAS, you’d have to address this Molly issue!

Molly, Molly there is a Time and a place to interject an opinion. But make no mistake, the Talent is Stephen A and Shannon Sharpe!

Shout out to the Steelers, for giving Justin Fields a restart to his career. Steelers y'all did right by the young man.

Molly is trying to be Joy but Joy wasn’t a moderator she was a co-host. Jenny Taft was the perfect moderator. Kept the show on track and knew when to interject without constantly thinking she was part of the debate.

Great show to the three of you.

Lets not forget they went 5-1 in the division with no qb play

Best Stephen A take

Ultimate big bro moment lmao hit SAS with the "yes or no" AND the look/tone combo 😂

Molly just be talking man lol.

Heck of a move by the Steelers they in contention for super bowl every year now Tomlin here to stay finally got what he needed!

Promises are like pie crust...thin and easily broken LOL🤣

i had the same reaction as Stephen A at 8:55

Good analysis Stephen A

Steelers are going to be a good football team and thank God that they finally got a good quarterback that can run and throw the ball. There will be a difference now I promise you.

"hold on was he a free agent yes or no? OK thank you" 😂

it's an inevitable Media Circus alright in Pittsburgh.... smh 🤦🏽‍♂

Steelers were 5-1 in the division last year and are 7-1 in the last 8 against Baltimore

Molly is so mf frustrating 😭😂

"SHANNON DON'T YOU LOOK AT ME LIKE THAT" 😂

This made sense for both sides

The Steelers will win 12 - 14 games this season... I am not a Steelers fan, but I'm jumping on the bandwagon... Wilson and Fields are a Win-Win Situation...

Molly = me 😡

I can't wait to see the debates during Football season

Shannon’s go to line at FS1 was , skiiip. Now it’s, but here’s the thang 😂

They said the same thing about shroud not being able to read plays and he learned all off season. sometimes you just need a game manager who isnt going for high yards everygame

Steelers has been cooking this offseason and we ain't done yet

from a bengals fan this is excellent for fields, i think he has an upside but we will see if he shows up, the afc north will determine just how good he is, play well you keep playing if not.....

Steven A said those EXACT same words the year we drafted Kenny and signed Mitch.

What has Deshawn Watson done? He's the fourth best QB in the AFC North

Eagles had a great off season so far n has 9 picks. Still might sign a safety.

I can wait 🖤💛

I just wanna see us in the playoffs

Bears you done F’d it up

The talent potential Fields brings is crazy. Steelers are finally almost done rebuilding the offensive line, and almost don’t plugging up the holes on defense. The best situation for him to sit and learn from the Russell, in which you model your game after.

I like this pairing lowkey.

Everyone in the chat: Molly just can’t shut the F up Molly: Let’s talk about it 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂

The hate on Molly is crazy 🤣🤣🤣

Molly looking hella spicy today in that outfit tho lol

Yassss Unc! 🎉🎉🎉🎉

"You know what division they're in right?"😂😂😂

Idk what people are seeing in Field’s, he’s literally not good 😂

Fields is essentially another Trubisky, just faster

Always a pleasure FELLAS!!!❤

Raleigh Simmons coached by Fred Tex Winter. Molly is a beautiful person and she is still learning how to function with a Hall of Famer, Shannon Sharpe and Stefan is a great journalist so there is a place for her. She has to work just like everybody else. I don’t wanna see the one we get fired and lose her joy and the blessings the Lord has given to her.

Justin Fields is mid. He has like zero awareness and is bad at reading defenses

“Promises are like pie crust, thin and easily broken!”

I usually don’t say this but Stephen a smith PREACH

Fields is just a modern Kordell Stewart. They ain't going anywhere, even with that defense.

If we made it to the playoffs with those QBs last season just imagine with Russel and Fields this season

ESPN is missing Cari Champion....cause this clip right here ain't it!!!! The interruptions are ridiculous!!!

“Was he a free agent yes or no?” Killed me man

Justin and Pickens have chemistry from UGA…as well as Darnell Washington

Hard Knocks please cover Pittsburgh this year!

As a Bears fan I will miss those 10 wins in 3 years lol

Molly is the reason i watch more of stephen As podcast and Shannans podcast far more than their show anymore

1. I agree with Stephen. Russell Wilson is 35 he's the old guard who will eventually pass the baton to Justin Fields. Russell Wilson is an experienced Pro and JF is still a Rookie. The Steelers will have a good Starter and backup quarterback. There's something they both will learn from each other. Everything happens for a reason. 2. Also, I agree with Stephen that Caleb should finish college (discussed on another episode). One thing I admired about Justin Fields is, although he'd signed for millions, he still completed his college studies and received his Degree in 2023. Most athletes don't do that once they sign that contract and get those millions. Ijs. 3. OAN-- I believe when JF dared to express how he felt in the Bears' press conference in 2023 someone in the Bears upper, upper management (the Owners) did not like it. That's why he's no longer a Chicago Bears QB. I just hope they haven't blackballed him in the NFL. Management doesn't like it when you speak the truth. It happens in corporate America every day. 4. I believe they traded him to signal to other new, young players to never voice their concerns in press conferences. When JF expressed his personal feelings at that press conference he already knew what it would/could cost him. When you've already weighed the cost, and know what the consequences may be, you move forward with peace. I pray that he achieves much success in his future endeavors. He has a good presence with the news media. I like his spirit.

I really like the idea of having two similar brothers at QB like, it's far too common when you have a running starting QB and a pure passer as his backup which doesn't make sense. Teams that have pure passing QBs usually have very similar looking backups, so I am glad the Steelers have decided to TRULY commit to two relatively similar skill set QBs and they will really push each other to improve compared to those other programs where the next man up has nothing in common with the first man. All I know is both QBs are ready to scramble/roll out on snap, this approach keeps the OLine able to prepare for a consistent and custom fit for the personnel blocking scheme. That will reduce holding penalties and the Steelers are already well disciplined, but some of these other teams have had way to many good plays called back due to blocking scheme inconsistencies that likely come from practicing to protect multiple types of QB pocket styles. Steelers should be able to mold these two QBs to fit. Sometimes upgrading your depth at a position is more of a significantly beneficial upgrade for the team than upgrading your starter at another.
