I gotta hand it to Wilson. He definitely seems intense and into it for sure. I was on the fence about him at first. But I have to say I appreciate his intensity and he has a great attitude.
These fools don’t get it! Fields wanted to come to Pittsburgh BEFORE Russ signed, when he thought his competitors were Kenny Pickett and Mason Rudolph. He didn’t ask for the Russell Wilson smoke! The Pittsburgh option only became attractive to the Bears AFTER Russ had signed, and the price dropped for that trade to go through. The Bears had been seeking a #1, a #2, or a #3 from other teams. When Russ signed with Pittsburgh, they rewarded Pittsburgh for taking Fields by only asking for a conditional #6. Why is that? Chicago wanted Fields in Pittsburgh because they knew Fields would wind up being QB2 at best for the entire season. The primary reason they got rid of Fields was to avoid the potential crowd boise of a QB controversy in the event that Caleb Williams struggles early. That doesn’t go away if Fields is starting on another squad and manages to look good for a few early games. The Bears needed another team to give them a desirable pick or player for Fields, and then sit him on the BENCH! Pittsburgh was the only team that offered at least one of those benefits. Also notice how Fields worded his answer. He doesn’t have the mindset of SITTING all year. “Not sitting” doesn’t mean starting! Not sitting means PLAYING meaningful snaps at various points or at least getting significant 4th quarter work when Russ has built the Steelers big leads. Fields is posturing now, but he knows good and well that he was p!ssed when they traded him to Pittsburgh after Russ had signed there. The Bears sent Fields to Pittsburgh so he would not be the starter. What I don’t understand is why everyone is trying to push a 35-year-old Russ out of the league while predicting big things for 40-year-old Aaron Rodgers and 36-year-old Kirk Cousins, when the latter two are coming off injuries season-ending injuries and have never been in Russ’s shape or taken care of their bodies the way Russ has. I expect Russ to be better than both of them this year, as well as Matthew Stafford, who is 38 or 39. Russ is your starting QB and your franchise QB for the next 4-5 years. If Pittsburgh is smart, they’ll trade him for a top-flight receiver.
Totally Agree with ya Dude seems all in n hopefully moved his Ego aside for this Teams Success and improvement.. He saying n doing the right things daily !! So Far .lol 😎
It's hard to believe this team was 10-7 with the subpar and poor QB play from two of the three QBs. If they can get good QB play and a fast start and hold their own in December it could be a good year.
Both our QB's are going to push each other. People keep trying to put one against the other. Smh. They can coexist about a 10 years gap. It's all love ❤️ between them. We always naturally compete to see where we are at ability wise.
It’s not all love. Fields is smart enough not to do what Kenny Pickett did, but he wasn’t expecting to have to compete with Russ, nor is he really up to it.

@@i-know_steelcity9965 They did change it. They allowed him to go BACK to his natural right foot forward. Getsy changed it to match Aaron Rogers and Justin struggled. I need him to have more crisp footwork though. Looking at his verses Russ you can tell the difference. He takes like six small steps for s 3 step drop. But he seems to be getting the ball out quicker.
so, compared to day 1 Justin seems to be getting the ball out quicker but seeing his feet in comparison to Russell's shows he MUST CLEAN THAT UP to be better and faster. Still, they both took about the same number of sacks so.... Still, this is encouraging for me as a Justin fan and a steelrs fan.
😂 Keep that same energy during the season. Fields was 10-28 as a starter....he has one 300 yard passing game in his career....one! He missed wide open receivers on a regular basis (watch the tape) and he was statistically the worst NFL QB in the 4th quarter. Great dude but was not a great QB. Your own team didn't even pick up his 5th year option after trading for him. GTFOH.
@katiecaddle209 Zach Wilson was 13-21 as a starter so I have no idea what you're talking about. If that is a winning record you have bigger problems. Related to a record not being a qb stat, I listed multiple stats in my reply so again, I have no idea what you're talking about or what point you're trying to make.

@DeCurtaRican justin wanted to come here,unlike you, you're a bears fan checking on justin. There were multiple offers for him, and he chose Pittsburgh as the best situation because he knew coach T wanted him here. All of those qbs you mentioned are WASHED! father time is undefeated for a reason. Don't bring up Brady,because there's only 1 tom brady
@@LesPronto I'm happy for Justin ....The Bears didn't develop him or protect him they fed him to the wolves ....He never had a surrounding cast as they have now ....And I'm a TB Bucs fan by the way ...Thanks for knowing everything Sparky
It's understanding that the media be there to do they're job but stop getting in the way of the players making all kind of trouble for them because they need to focus on being better at all angles
If either of these QB's works out than we win ideally at some point it would be best for are future if Fields becomes the QB he has the talent to be if not at worst he is like Michael Vick but if Russ balls out and is the same guy he was in Seattle but more focused we will be just fine but I haven't been this excited about are QB play since Big Ben was still Big Ben
I want Fautanu to struggle. I would be worried if he came in and dominated the Steelers backers. This is iron sharpening Iron. WHEN HE GETS IT he will destroy opposing backers. I love it.
What???? That makes ZERO sense......If he came in "dominating" Watt and Highsmith imagine what he would do to the rest of the league......like WTF dude????
Look make or break one year its about Russell Wilson making the plays with the play calling from the coaches and the defense healthy all year long. Fields could be good insurance just in case Russell Wilson misses a game or two or for a short period of time.
@khalfanikeme I think JF2 should and will be more than just insurance. This kid is 10yrs younger than RW3 and sure, look, listen and learn at an organisation that’ll actually teach and help him like the Steelers, and imho, he’s out QB of the future. No one has even remotely seen what JF2 is capable of, I think and hope he’ll surprise a lot of people. I’m backing him anyway, but either way I just want us to be successful and win a 7th Lombardi.
I’ve been a diehard Pittsburgh Steelers fan since the age of eight and I will say this we are going to have the best season we’ve had in over years but we gotta do what we gotta let Justin Field be our starter. I love Russell Wilson, but I don’t have faith to he’ll stay healthy the entire season. 💛🖤💛💛💛💛💛🖤🖤🖤🖤🖤🖤🖤💛🖤🖤🖤
What? If there’s any QB you can rely on to be healthy, it’s Russ. He has missed a total of 7 games in 12 years, which includes the total of 3 he missed in 10 years with the Seahawks and the two he missed last season due to benching in Denver solely for financial reasons. If injuries are your excuse for preferring Fields, you need to switch your preferences fast! Before his throwing hand injury in 2021, he was on track to never miss a game or start in his career, and out of the games he has played, he has only missed five due to physical ineligibility. We can argue that he should’ve sat out the rest of the 2021 season, but it turned out that Russ needed to play through his rehab to get his hand optimized again. He also played through two leg injuries, a concussion, and broken ribs in 2016 to lead the Seahawks to the playoffs. He didn’t miss a game and still threw for 4,000 yards that season. So not only is he durable, he’s probably the toughest cat to ever play the position!

Hardly. 5-1 in the div last year. Secondary, Fitzpatrick and Porter Jr --- a shut down corner. The Steelers now have one of the best OLs in football. The underachievers in this division are Cleveland. Watson has shown nothing, and the rest of their "stars" can't carry them.
@@qbitz08 5-1 in the division with the ravens playing their backups and against Cincy’s depleted starters. Porter jr. is not a shutdown corner. The division will shake out as follows: 1. Cleveland 2.Cincy 3. Balt 4. Pitts. Bank on it.
@@benjaminb3295 Excuses, excuses. You say the Steelers have an awful secondary and OL -- and played with one hand behind their back with Pickett and Canada-- and the AFC North still couldn't put them away. Watson is Charmin soft -- another six games and out.
@@benjaminb3295 BAHAHAHAHA!!!!! Dream on brotatoslaw!!!! Steelers gonna' OWN the division games AGAIN just like last year when they had an INEPT QB and an EMBARASSING OC and STILL went 5-1 in the division. Make ALL the excuses you want......FACTS are FACTS and we will repeat last season's division record. BAHAHAHAHAHA!!!!!!!!
