Justin Fields shows eagerness to compete with Russell Wilson | Pro Football Talk | NFL on NBC 

Florio has never lost a case in that suit. 🙏🙏

Russ is going to make everyone eat their words. He has career 100 QB rating 9 probowls 44k passing 5k rushing 39 game winning drives. Superbowl champion

Fanboys of the bears worry about your own quarterback williams. Fields doesn't play for Chicago anymore. Seeing way too many of y'all still complaining and he's already on another team. Let it go and move on.

It can't possibly be worse then the QB situation we had the last 2 years.

Fields probably one of the most motivated football players in the NFL, Chicago gave up on him and gave Caleb Williams 3x #1 WR’s after they shipped him away.

As a Seahawks fan, this is literally the last chance for russ to redeem himself, however if he doesn’t win them games he will be benched and the Pittsburgh fans will boo and demand Justin on the field! I think the same Denver scenario may play again.

Yeah… 4 out of 6 year Kordell had a different OC , however he made it to two AFC Championships games… 🤷🏽‍♂️. So if Justin can improve the future is bright

If you dont have the mindset to compete you dont belong on a nfl team.

He has already been less accurate than Russ

When did Arthur Smith become a genius? Didn't every pundit and their mom hated him last year? (Also see: Kyle Pitts, Drake London, Bijan Robinson)

Steelers fans gonna have to deal with having to hear about how great fields is after he goes 10/27 with 2 int but has a cool rushing touchdown

Fields is showcasing what Chicago said, he was not willing to learn from Foles- a super bowl winning QB. If you are not coachable, YOU CANNOT GET BETTER. PERIOD.

I think the Steelers have two mediocre quarterbacks. Each has strengths and weaknesses. Wilson’s strength is probably experience and a beautiful deep ball; his weakness is too high of a Time-to-Throw (TT) number - 3.06 - and not seeing wide-open receivers, and maybe taking sacks - I think Russ averaged 3 sacks per game in Denver from memory. The QB School guy has a video out there showing Wilson not seeing wide-open receivers so listen to him. Now Fields’ strength is probably running and evading rushers; his weakness is poor passing mechanics and I think his completion percentage is around 60, at least 6 to 7 points lower than he should be at this point. But neither guy is “elite” at this point so pick your poison. (I just looked and Justin has a 4-3 TD-2-INT ratio for his career, alright I suppose, although you want to see 3.)

The question I have for Florio is what happens when Russ does well and Justin does well too and handles the situation. My question is can the Steelers pay both ? As a Steelers fan my dream is two years of Russ and then Justin. My other part of that question is, say both do well but there is a good QB in the draft (doesn't look good supposedly now) that Tomlin and Khan really love, with no money on a QB currently the Steelers can pay to move up, do they do that ? If they Sign Russ to a two year guarantee, 3 year total extension after a great season, do the Steelers trade Fields for some draft capital to make a run with Russ or try to keep him as a sure back-up. Also how much capital would that leave Mr. Rooney to pay his players to make a real run at another Lombardi. In my mind Fields feels more like an insurance plan than the future but if I'm wrong and he slays it that's awesome

In no universe does Pittsburg win more games with Justin than Russ.

I’m a die hard Bears fan, born and raised in Chicago. You steeler fans need to understand that Fields played with a horrible Oline, terrible OCs, and absolutely zero Wrs. His first 2 years his top wr was Darnell Mooney. I was ashamed how the front office treated him and gave him 0 help and gave him a supporting cast. DJ Moore had his career high in yards 1,300 and TDs 8 with JF1. I love my Bears but we did JF dirty and never gave him a chance to succeed. Your Steelers have an amazing organization, HC, Wrs and most importantly a great Oline. He will ball out in the Black and Yellow.

I like Justin’s spirit. He has much work to do, his anticipation, play recognition, and ability to read coverages has to improve if he’s ever going to become a quality starting QB. I think he can do it if he puts his mind to it. Time will tell, he’ll get his chance, however, it will be after Russ is done. Even though Justin is younger and is by far the better athlete, Russ is still by in large the better quarterback it’s not even a debate.

As a Bears fan, I hope he does well in Pittsburgh and plays 51% of the snaps or more lol

Russ was requested by the guys on the Steelers! He had a lot of advocates on the Steelers. They WANTED him. Russ has learned from the criticism he has received. It’s crazy that people don’t understand why the Steelers became such an attractive trade option to the Bears front office after Russ signed. Fields had requested Pittsburgh when Kenny Pickett and Mason Rudolph were the QBs. He wasn’t planning on completing with Russ, and frankly he’s nowhere near Russ’s level as a passer, nor does he play as well in the clutch. *Justin Fields’s 3-Year Career Stats* Pass attempts: 958 Pass completions: 578 Completion%: 60.3% TD-INT: 40-30 Passing yards: 6,674 Passer rating: 82.3 *Rushing yards: 2,220* *Rushing yards/yr: 740* *Rushing TDs: 14* *Rushing attempts: 356* *Rushing y/a: 6.2* Sacks: 135 Sacks/yr: 45 Yards lost: 908 Yards lost per sack: 6.7 Fumbles: 38 (11 Lost) On pace for 152 fumbles over 12 seasons with 44 lost.

Justin is such an enigma. I’ve never seen a QB who, if we’re being honest with ourselves, is really pretty bad, get SO much love and protection from fans and the media. I’m a bears fan, people are STILL crying about Justin leaving…the guy was worse than Trubisky. Yes, he was exciting but holy fuck he just couldn’t get it done. All the other QBs from Justin’s class they are now in different teams, get clowned. Justin is worshipped…it’s bizarre

Russ wins games & SB JUS DON'T Echelon makes the calls RIGHT.

Y'all have to stop hyping him up. He fumbles, he does not anticipate throws, he can't read defenses, and is cold towards most teammates. Chances are he's never going to be a starter in this league. Unless of course you want a running back at quarterback.

Why is there still fields hype?

These comments are brutal smfh bunch of angry non-ball knowers 😂

Man the disrespect forgetting Lamar Jackson two time MVP best running QB

Russell Wilson is a 13-year-old corvette with 250,000 miles under the hood and an engine and transmission that has never been replaced. Justin Fields is a 3-year-old corvette with 25,000 miles under the hood. Russell will break down sooner than later. Justin stay ready.

Fields is gonna be a pain in the ass 😅

Love hearing this. My guy Justin will be a starter in Pittsburgh. 🙌

Lamar Jackson not the best rushing QB? The best rushing QB in NFL history isn’t a better rusher than Fields or Mcdaniels? Clowns 🤡

Highlights don’t win championships, Chris! Russ can make highlight plays of his own, he’s just more likely to do it with his arm AND legs, whereas Fields will just do it with his legs.

I thought media was supposed to be neutral. If the talking heads were really confident that Fields could outplay Russ - which sounds ridiculous as I type it - they would just let it happen. They wouldn’t need to issue instructions to the crowd to demand that Fields starts the first time Russ throws an interception! They can’t just let it happen because they know Russ is the better QB by far. The prospect of Fields starting over Russ is a bad joke, and it shouldn’t even be a conversation. It wouldn’t be if Fields were playing for the Falcons (without Pennix there), the LAR, or the NYJ, places where it would ironically be more realistic to expect him to step in and steal the starting spot. Their QBs are older and have had recent serious injuries. Russ is fully healthy and starting to look like Seattle Russ again, yet they want to say Fields should start over him. If Denver’s 2022 interim coach Jerry Rosberg had remained the head coach in Denver in 2023 instead of Sean Payton coming in, Russ would’ve set had career highs in yards and TD passes, because that arm of his was working like magic! Instead, he was sabotaged by Payton, who tried to tank away the season. Russ said and did things to create some negative impressions, but he doesn’t deserve to have his entire legacy distorted when he can still spin the rock like nobody’s business and still move. He had nearly 350 yards rushing last season on mostly non-designed runs. His career average is 442 yards. At one point, it was 550 yards but that was skewed upward by a 2014 outlier year on which he rushed for 849 yards. So his legs are not gone. Fields averages 700+ yards rushing, but he can’t spin the rick the way Russ can and doesn’t have Russ’s closing ability. In his three NFL seasons, Fields has a career 4th quarter passer rating of 53. Take the three worst years Russ had in his career and his 4th quarter passer rating is above 90. For his career, Russ has a 104 career passer rating. This talk of Fields starting over Russ is an absolute joke. Will people get serious? It’s crazy that people don’t understand why the Steelers became such an attractive trade option to the Bears front office after Russ signed. Fields had requested Pittsburgh when Kenny Pickett and Mason Rudolph were the QBs. He wasn’t planning on completing with Russ, and frankly he’s nowhere near Russ’s level as a passer, nor does he play as well in the clutch. *Justin Fields’s 3-Year Career Stats* Pass attempts: 958 Pass completions: 578 Completion%: 60.3% TD-INT: 40-30 Passing yards: 6,674 Passer rating: 82.3 *Rushing yards: 2,220* *Rushing yards/yr: 740* *Rushing TDs: 14* *Rushing attempts: 356* *Rushing y/a: 6.2* Sacks: 135 Sacks/yr: 45 Yards lost: 908 Yards lost per sack: 6.7 Fumbles: 38 (11 Lost) On pace for 152 fumbles over 12 seasons with 44 lost.

Justin starting by week 6

All the Steeler podcasts have gone immediately to the Wilson vs.Fields topic because that discussion will garner excitement, division, and drama, which does make cash. I haven't seen a Steelers' podcast yet that breaks down both Wilson's and Field's last two years of QB tape. That would clearly show why both were discarded and available at such a low value. That, to me, isn't being completely transparent for the shake of selling either hope for cash or to sow emotional division for profit.

It is a test for both, if they do not look much better than Rudolph or Pickett, they will bring in someone else next year. Wilson is pretty durable, and I doubt he will run much, he will have to exit for cause either for a game or a season. It doesn't have to be Pickett bad, but not winning or the offense against the good teams and try the other guy. It was the sub-20 performances against playoff teams Chiefs, Packers, Lions, Texans and averaging 24 or less most of the rest. The first 5 games mostly are teams that could be better but only Dallas (who they play at home) made the playoffs, if Wilson averages over 21 points and is above 500, he should last till the Ohio games.

Always be thankful to Fields for getting the Bears the #1 pick.

If you put weapons around fields I’m almost sure he can win , if he stayed in Chicago he would be competing for division and playoff spot . Dude is a athlete , running is elite and the throwing is good enough

JF2 will start towards the end of the season. jf2 is better than run

Justin Fields...whomever feeds George Pickens more better passes will win the starting gig. George Pickens should pick his QB, not the media....not the fans...George Pickens should decide who his QB is.

Long Time Bears fan. He will be the starter if Russ even starts to faltter

Love you guys, but let's see some more swag. Jarrett Peyton buttons up the top but takes the style to another level with his jackets and ties. Let's see some JP levels of style in some of your videos 👍

When the first starting QB goes down, the Steelers have to try to trade Wilson and see what they have in Fields. Get a good pick for a league minimum salary and give Fields a real shot.

I don't think we have seen Fields maximum potential. He is a lot better than he gets credit for

Everyone knows Fields isn’t good but Fields

Is it just me or does Florio look like Frankie Carbone from Goodfellas?

Justin fields will never start for another team more than half a season

All this Russ support I jus wanna remind everyone he’s not there when you need him and won’t take command of the offense once he’s figured out in the system it’s gonna go south fast and Feilds will start

Russ can't throw down the middle of the field, holds on to the ball to long and is undisciplined in the pocket smh. The only hope he has with my Steelers is that we have a good running game so he'll be able to utilize play action more. And have more opportunities to run but he's a lesser shorter version of fields without the youth or upside. I'd start Fields

They both SUCK! Russ only gets buzz because he’s playing for free. He hasn’t been good for 4 years!! Fields has already shown you he’s not a franchise level QB. If he was that guy Chicago could’ve gotten a blank check for #1 overall pick this year!! The fact they traded Fields for a 6th tells you everything you need to know. Don’t lie to yourself, the Steelers QB room is just as limited as it’s been for 6-7 years. Just has bigger names in it…

What do you think made Russ the rookie starter in Seattle in the first place? It was Russ getting along with guys. He may not do everything his teammates do, but he gets along with them well enough that they trust him. All of this smoke-filled garbage! There’s no controversy, the media is just trying to create one! Notice how Simms pulled a Donald Trump right here, masking an instruction to the fans as a “prediction.” He’s not really predicting that fans WILL demand Fields if Russ doesn’t play exciting football but plays okay. He’s instructing and telling fans TO demand Fields. I listened to Nick Wright tell Collin Cowherd that Russ didn’t have a lot of advocates out there. How would he know this? It’s because he’s part of the movement, and whomever is pulling the strings and levers told him that. I hope the NFL isn’t turning into what I think it is. That is existing to push Russ out! And the exact argument that you made in favor of Fields could be said about Russ. This idea that he doesn’t get along with teammates is pure garbage. It’s about who leads the team to the wins. I’m convinced that they’re trying to push him out of the league. I have my theories about why, and it has nothing to do with Russ’s personality or play. I believe there’s specific reason that someone in a very high place with a lot of power has launched a silent campaign against Russ and is using the media to do it. In other words, Russ’s play and personality have nothing to do with entire media being on code: Russ either said or did something around late 2020 or early 2021 (the time of SB55) that angered someone with a lot of money and power. What was going on at that time? With whom did Russ inverse? talking to? With whom did he hang out? Did he go to the SB? With whom did he sit?

Russ is washed … I expect Fields to be thrown in by week 7 … Fields never had a Legion of Boom or adequate offensive coaching

Wyd with that big ass suit

Good athlete..,,, 💭 hmmm 🤔 not a quarterback, that’s for sure. Maybe a kickoff returner. 🥹

Justin will win that job.😊

Your so ignorant but please I need a good laugh because fields is a damn good QB, do your research before throwing around your ignorance.

Fields has zero chance of beating out a veteran superbowl champion. Russ will bury him in a competition. He needs to check his ego at the door and learn from Russ.

Fields has a 100% chance to be the starter. Wilson is near the end, plus he's a total ahole. That dose not fly in Pittsburgh.

Oh man, a crappy QB 'competing' against a washed up QB....what a story.

Of course Field is probably going to play at some point. Russell Wilson is nothing more than a Bridge quarterback at this point.

Fields the best running QB in the league???? What a clown take

Haha PIT

Long as Lamar is the nfl hell always be the best running qb in the game

coaching is Pittsburgh's biggest problem

Russ is getting an 8 week audition. If he stinks they will start Fields, trade Watt and Pickens and tank.
