Rich Eisen Lays Out the Best-Case Scenario for Steelers QB Russell Wilson Next Season 

Sounds right to me & totally doable if that stinky corrupt schedule don't ... what do yall think about Burg getting a shifty deal?

@@michaelbooth4998 Your entire division has the same schedule and so does the NFC Norht. Do you count on people being stupid?

@@michaelbooth4998 Steelers fans have been handed a few SB's and you're whining corrupt? LOL

@softjones3128 Hey SJ ... I don't capice "handed SB" ... isn't that a ton of hark work, dedication, commitment, stars aligning etc etc etc for that to happen? Destiny or fate? HANDED? Could be that the 1st 8 games easy prepares the SteelHouse for the last toughest games ... maybe it is a perfect storm. So maybe I was bitching, moaning & complaining. It ain't "the way the cookie crumbles" out here in NM, it's "the way the tortilla tears" LOL

Dak, Hurts, Purdy, Carr, and Cousins were all non first round picks who are currently starters and have made at least one pro bowl FWIW.

@jonathangodsall3010 You just mentioned 4 guys out of 32 so that proves my point. Russ is also the only one with a chip.

@@daviddavis9835 never said you were wrong just added more context to your comment. Russ can have all the motivation he wants and tell everyone he has a chip on his shoulder, etc. He said the same thing in Denver the last couple years even when his production declined. This will be his last opportunity to stay as a starter given his age and declining production

Also isn’t Dak in a contract year? Purdy still has to get his next contract too and Cousins now has to hold off a first round pick as he comes back from an Achilles injury at age 35. Everyone has something to prove

I said the same thing when he was in Denver, I’ve seen him play in person and it wasn’t as advertised

Thought the same thing. The one bald dude said, "got a six pack" like maybe if he was 55 we'd consider that a 6 pack

@@scaryfascinating one pac, two pac.. three pac four

No he ain't. Steelers do just fine in the North every season and that's been without a QB as good as Russ

@@Markboi96 Last team the Steelers beat in the post season was the Alex Smith lead Chiefs not quite a decade ago....maybe you need to redefine 'just fine.'

@@Markboi96 Same old story and same old result. Steelers are stuck in the mud

@@camstegames8437 lol agreed

@@camstegames8437what does that have to do with him playing in the afc north

Sean Payton had Russ playing better. Watch and see what Payton gets out of a rookie QB. Watch Russell make the Steelers offense look like Denver. Here is a guarantee. The O line will give up 50+ sacks if Wilson plays all year.

@johnchedsey - Psychic Sally is predicting Russell Wilson to lead the Steelers to a 10-7 record and a playoff berth. Psychic Sally has a feeling Russell Wilson is going to finish with 3,700 combined yards and 27 combined TD's. On a practical level, Psychic Sally sees new OC Arthur Smith implementing a ball control type of offense which helps the RB's play an intregal part of the offense with an improved OL since Arthur Smith was an offensive lineman and creates an efficient running game.

@@johnnyblazers If Russell makes Pittsburgh offense look like Denver offense, that’s a massive upgrade.

@@thechannel2398 Did Sally tell you the league is all about points and passing today?

@@KdaB79 Denver 21 points a game Steelers 17.9 points a game Rushing Steelers 118.2 yds/game Denver 106.5 yds/game Passing Denver 191.9 yds/game Steelers 186.1 yds/game Total Steelers 304.4 yds/game (27th) Broncos 298.4 (28th) It's not a massive upgrade. Wilson is also only a year older and slower.

Dk Is Ready for a championship… but I don’t think it can be with the hawks. As a hawks fan

As a hawks fan, I like a trade to the chiefs

do you, or are you just making a silly comment

Exactly 👍

You'll be losing some Euros that is for sure. You won't split that bet.

This is more believable than him not performing well.

What will his QBR be?

Who will he throw to for these 4,000 yards?

When he fails

The problem is that when he succeeds, YOU will make excuses as to why it was because of everyone BUT Russ. This is because you are a Russell Wilson hater.

I'm a Seattle fan and Russ was great during most of his time there. Claiming anything otherwise is revisionist hater history.

@@johnchedsey1306 Looooong time ago

@@ChristopherMHeaps that would be their worse finish in 50 years - not going to happen with the defense

Russ will prove haters wrong. 9 probowls 100 QB rating 338 Tds 106 int 43k passing 5300 rushing 39 game winning drives. Superbowl champion

@@ChristopherMHeaps if they went 10-7 with cashiers playing QB ILB and Safety last year I’d love to hear how you think that’s remotely possible

@@slamin2095 The defense is not that good. You need to be able to score points in this league

Snap out it. That's not going to happen. You have the worst QB in the Div.

I don't get your take that Rich hates him. I think he was being realistic that Russ needs to make the most of this opportunity.

I think there's a whole lot of presumption going on here.

@@paulcoulter4068Watch all of his recent videos about Russell Wilson.

Tomlin has never developed a QB.

This comment is the Reason for the Media’s Russ hate. Russ performing well is not good for their business.

Clearly, you were not watching Denver games.

@@johnnyblazers LMAO. Watch and learn my friend. Watch and learn. Mike Tomlin is the best coach out there for getting the most out of his players and team.

@@ericsinclair1826 thanks. Your response only proves my point.

Steelers fans about to find out he's the king of 3 and outs

Wait till you see Fields. He worse

No Russ will start and Steeler fans will chant Fields name to end their season

@@PatriotWatchUSA That's exactly what will happen, but that's not Russ' best case scenario. I see fields starting by wk10.

@@kennethmacgregor-Gregorach I bet before the bye week. Think the Steelers lose week1 and that starts trouble . Steeler fans have themselves very excited about this year.

@@PatriotWatchUSA Definitely. Russ' leash is very short.

@@kennethmacgregor-Gregorach Problem is you have nowhere to go.

Yes the Dnever fans who watched the games keep repeating it. Russ is OLD.

He had a better offense with Denver than he will with the Steelers this year.

@@PatriotWatchUSA The playcalling in Denver was a complete personnel mismatch throughout his entire tenure, neither of his top two receivers had secure ballhandling, the run game was close to non-existent due to Javonte Williams getting injured early on, the offensive line didn't do much to help Russ biggest problems either which is holding on to the ball for too long. meanwhile Pittsburgh has consistently upgraded their O-line despite not even knowing who their QB will be in the past few years, their run game is a a deadly 1-2 combo that's only gonna get better with a run heavy offensive play caller as opposed to the horrendous usage under Matt Canada. Arthur Smith is a flawed HC but he knows what he's doing as an OC and is gonna maximize their run game as well as the quick game with RPOs and play action, which again were non-existent under Matt Canada before, so again the new Steelers are not the old Steelers. George Pickens is a better WR1 than either of the guys Russ had in Denver plus they seem poised to trade for Brandon Aiyuk and drafted Roman Wilson as a presumed WR3. He also won't even have to overperform like before because the Steelers D won't let another team score 70+ points on them in a single game, have one of the nastier D-lines in the league with a top 3 pass rusher and while their secondary does have clear weaknesses, it also boasts guys like Minkah Fitzpatrick and they did plenty to try and improve it in the past little over a year worth of time. meanwhile what does Denver have going for it? bottom 5 defense in the league in most categories (with an average of 24ppg allowed even when not calculating in the Miami game, meanwhile their offense produced an average 21ppg which was good but just never enough because of the lack of a functioning defense), abusive HC with a horrible locker room presence, traded away plenty of guys without a clear plan to replace them and despite having 2 veterans on roster who started games last year, they seem to look towards a rookie to fix the hole that Russ left. Pittsburgh > Denver every single day of the week if I'm an NFL QB.

@@rice_frying_shrimp Holy Cow you spent a lot of time on this. I can't be convinced because I know too much. Russ is old and Fields can't play QB> The Steelers spend 2/3 of their cap money on defense which is laughable. The NFL is an offensive league. The league changed the rules in the last few years to encourage SCORING> You need to be able to score 28+ a game during the regular season. If not you need to make up that difference. Since the rules were changed and continue to be changed, it's hard to make up points once you fall behind. You currently have the 28th ranked offense which tells me you will fail this year. NOBODY runs the ball and plays defense and wins championships any longer. Only Pitt trying to do so. I've heard it from your fan base one thousand times. You don't need a QB on the GREAT Steeler team. 5-1 in the Mash unit in 2023 called the AFC North. 3rd brother and if Wilson goes out for any reason you will be 4th.

Still 26TDs 8INTs on a bad Denver team last year. Gladly welcome here!

Lmao no one could develop Pickett. There’s nothing there.

@@KdaB79 Who drafted him? The only good QB Tomlin has had is the one that he inherited. Why is that?

@@KdaB79 What about Rudolph and Trubisky? Couldn't develop them either? Maybe Pitt can't develop a QB

@@73ajd1 lol what? It’s been two years since they’ve tried to move on from Roethlisberger. As if a bust in Pickett and a meh backups in Rudolph and Trubisky means they can’t do anything because of two seasons 😂

Haha! Exactly.

No O line and horrible offensive options he did what he could with the pieces he had

WAS that bad in Denver if you actually watched the games

Look at the sacks and fumbles not to mention all the wins he racked up the past 3 years!

@@Badger5280 its touch to play well when defense charges past O line and being head hunted…broncos had no protection or piss poor

We all know he can't transition to a pocket passer. You're right. He's doomed

@@johnnyblazers As a Bronco fan I appreciate your honestly. Wish more people open their eyes and looked at some time dude is getting chased down by everyone

Denver was League average at worst last year on the line. If you look into it Russ was credited with the majority of the sacks being on him

It won't be with Wilson there. Denver had a top 10 line last year. Wilson has made every line look bad for his career. I don't know how anyone can watch him play and not see how much he holds that ball. If Wilson plays all 17 games, the Steelers o line is guaranteed to give up 50+ sacks.

@@johnnyblazers Wait till you see Fields play. He holds it for 5 seconds every play

@PatriotWatchUSA so no matter who plays, the line is giving up a bunch of sacks.

@@johnnyblazers NO in Fields case Fields gives up a bunch of sacks. Russ looks to be the same way as they both lead the league in sacks the last two years.,

You show 'em, stud...

@@zigwil153 I ain't got no six pack either but nobody said I did, chump...

@@lukusluke I see. Interesting.

let's talk more about mens' abs. You guys ever watch that '300' flick? You'd love it, Lukus.

If he fails, please stop with the excuses, in Seattle, he had no offense line, in Denver, bad coaching. Without a once in a generation defense, can Russ be successful.

@@snowman9642 Lol. Such hate of Russ everywhere. As if he is a nobody. Lol. Russ last year had more Tds than Steelers QBs the last 2 years. And Steelers still made playoffs were 5-1 vs division and are 7-1 against Lamar's Ravens. With trash QB play. Wait till they all get a load of Russ. Lolol

Man this isn't 10 years ago. He had a successful in career in Seattle but let's stop pretending he isn't on the downward trend

@@RobertDavis-vg6uy Not hate but truth. He old and washed up

He was that way in Denver. The first season he requested his own office separate from the rest of his teammates. Players Gad to go up to the coaches area to even talk to him. He ain’t changing that about himself

thats a bs story, they had to go through the team to get his phone number..anyone can talk to him in the locker room, if you worked with 100's of people would you want everyone having your phone number

A smart coaching staff will evaluate what he still excels at and build around it. The one question mark is if Wilson still has enough quickness to pull of his squirrel plays.

@@johnchedsey1306 Not for years now

Not a good sign seeing that Russ is way better than Fields

Good thing he has the offensive coordinator that’s the only guy to make Tannehill look like a good qb

They went 9-8 with Trubisky, Pickett and Rudolph. I wouldn't hold your breath on Watson.

@@oneilljryan That's why I said 3rd best to begin with...

They’re going to probably have the best defense.

Yet went 5-1 in the division 🤷‍♂️

Says who? Don’t believe the hype…
