Should Russell Wilson be worried Justin Fields could take Steelers' QB1 spot? | Get Up 

STEELERS: There is NO QB COMPETITION!! ESPN: THERE IS IF WE SAY THERE IS!!

ESPN wants Fields to be the QB so bad lmao

Seriously, i am a UK NFL fan but ESPN are the only network or let me clarify Greeny is the only one continyally pushing this...why?

Russ will make everyone eat their words. 100 life QB rating 9 time probowler 43k passing 5300 rushing 336 TDS 108 int 39 game winning drives. Superbowl champion.

Russ will bring Super Bowl to the city of Pittsburgh baby

This is so dumb. It's really irritating that the sports media is trying to push this narrative. Stop with this nonsense already. Are you guys really so f*cking bored you have to try to stir up drama that DOES NOT EXIST? Really? My God I can't wait until the season starts.

Russell Wilson will play like Big Ben in Pittsburgh.

As a Steelers fan it’s in our best interest for the qb in their 20’s to win the job over one in their 30’s …. But, that’s not realistic, Russ is the starter and will be the starter unless an injury happens or Justin has an extremely giant leap in his abilities as a passer

ESPN just can’t get it through their head that Russ is just better than Fields.

Excited to see Payton exposed to be the lackluster coach and ESPN/NFL hatred towards Russ showcased. Russell Wilson doesn’t have to win the chip… just show he’s still the one that deserves a starting role due to the consistent negative narrative (he still was in the top PASS,TD,INT last season for how he was handled)

Russ making 39 MIL this year. He is playing for a Historical Franchise with a Great Coach and Team. Has a beautiful Wife. What the Heck are you talking about?

It don’t matter who they start , one of them will throw over 7 touchdowns . Which is what Kenny threw last year .

Can ESPN stop talking about fields! Good god. The man can’t play, move on. I haven’t heard a single word about Mac Jones battling Lawrence for the starting job, and Mac has had a better career

Russell Wilson is making 39 million dollars this season and he is QB1 with a full tank of gas.

The biggest part of it all is the Steelers brought Russell in first with the intention of him being the starter. Justin came to the Steelers knowing that Russell was already in the building, so it makes sense to rock with Russell and that's what we're doing. In addition, Russell was recently more productive in the touchdown throwing department by tossing 26 and running for another 3. That is a significant upgrade for our Steelers compared to last year. Both Russ & Justin had lesser talent around them last year so they both can do better in Pittsburgh, but Russell is not going to allow Justin to become the starter; however, I would HIGHLY advise Arthur Smith to produce some frequent packages to get Justin Fields on the field. It's great for the team because Russell cannot get complacent knowing who's next in the bullpen. My biggest fear are my fellow Steelers fans who are impatient and will start chanting or booing Russell and calling for Justin should Russell have a bad play or two. The same fans that booed and called for Kenny knowing that Mason was the best option...but they woke up at the end of last season. Hopefully they learned a valuable lesson.

Nope. Only there for a year. And still earning the broncos money like 30m this year. Lol. Theyre just tryna cause conflict between the two hoping they dont suceed.

Coach Mike Tomlin said "Russell is in pole position," Tomlin told ESPN. "His collective body of work merits that. But we're really excited to have Justin as well. During the course of team development, training camp and preseason he'll be given the opportunity to compete." So until that happens? Please stop.

Enough already.There are over thirty NFL teams out there, and yet it's the same ol talk about Russell Wilson. "He washed, the Steelers will regret signing him."Why are you people so negative about Russell. Try talking about another quarterback. It's really sad that you always try to tear this man down. Is it for ratings? This is what people want to listen to? All this talk from all the commentaries becomes one big noise. Also, Russell Wilson is being paid . the Broncos. I think all this negativity about Russell Wilson is really not necessary. If Russell fails this year, then the whole world will have something to talk about. So, let's just wait and see. You may be surprised to see that he is still a viable quarterback.

The hate is real

Wilson has at least 9 seasons and maybe 2 others that are better than any Fields has ever had, Russ should also benefit from Smith's offense, i favor RW to be & stay the starter and for the Steelers to be a wild card n a tough out in the playoffs

I think they are underestimating RW on this one. I have concerns about his ability to throw over the middle but otherwise, at least from a statistical standpoint- what if our QBs- threw 26 TDS against 8 picks last year, how many games do the Steelers win last year? How much pressure would 26 TDs taken off the running game, the defense? RW does not have to turn back the clock, this is a balanced roster with legitimate star power at several positions.

By Tim's logic, we should give up now and not even try to compete because the division is too hard. Guess what, every division game is hard. Maybe the division will be hard for Detroit too?

RUSS WINS GAMES & SB Jus ain't that ... yet. No comparison n o comparison. OWNER DEMANDING SB NOW. That takes Pros ONLY. RUSS can do that. Jus can't period.

I like those 3 qbs where they are

I need something to happen to some other team so they can stop talking about this already. Jesus Christ.

I don't believe that a QB should play right away all the time. Their are a ton of examples where this has worked

ESPN needs something to talk about. It’s fine. I’m a Steelers fan born and raised in Pittsburgh. I listen to the local media. They say there that it’s unanimous that Russ is the starter also that it would take injury and seriously and I mean seriously poor play by Russ for Justin to play.

Why should he be worried dude signed a 1 year deal come on for something else to talk about

The 2024 Steelers have TREMENDOUSLY improved from the 2023 Steelers. The Offense is the most improved in the NFL and will be Top 10. The QB Room has Drastically Improved with RW3 and JF2 being the best back up in the NFL. RW3 threw 26 TD's and 8 INTS and had a bad year compared to the Steelers 13 TD and 13 INTS. I can see RW3 30TD and 5 INTS and 3500YDS and 67% completion rate in Arthurs Smith's offense. The Offense finally has a legitimate and Bonafide Offensive Coordinator with a proven offensive system and scheme. Importantly he has stated that his already successful offensive system and scheme has evolved into the point where it will incorporate and utilize the speed of the WR Room: Roman Wilson (4.39), Quez Watkins (4.35), Scotty Miller (4.39), and CAIII (4.32) all with 4.3 Speed. The Running game will start game 1 of the season rushing for 150 yards or more versus getting it going week 9 of the 2 previous seasons. In addition, the offense has proven weapons: Pickens, Muth, Najee, Warren, and Patterson. I look for Darnell Washington to have a breakout year! Najee and Jaylen will rush for 1000 Yds. The Offensive Line Has Systematically Improved with the additions of Troy Fautanu, Zach Frazier, and Mason McCormick who can play Guard and Center which adds quality depth to the OL. McCormick would be a starter on most NFL teams. The Defense will be TOP 5 With the addition of Patrick Queen and Payton Wilson we have two athletic ILB's that can play sideline to sideline and cover TE's and RB's which the Steelers hasn't had since Ryan Shazier! Also, the addition of SS Elliott improves the Steeler 3 Safety Package Scheme that they employ 25% of the time. This will allow Minkah to be the Ball Hawk he is. Beanie Bishop at the SLCB and the resigning of Cam Sutton provide Depth at SCLB and CB2 or CB3 as Donte Jackson brings his 4.3 to the Secondary with JPJ taking the second year Leap! The CB room has quality potential that is untested depth with Darius Rush, Cory Trice, Ryan Watts all between 6"'2" and 6'3" and 200lbs + with 4.4 speed plays with physicality. This is a classic Tomlin's CB Room. KEY Point Payton Wilson hasn't had an injury since 2021! To finalize the Roster, I would sign Calias Campbell to help the DL. I am looking for Benton to take the leap in year 2. And to add quality depth I would resign Kwon Alexander ILB, Golden OLB, and Eric Rowe S all play very well for the Steelers Last year. The Steelers own the Ravens and have beaten them 7 of the last 8. LJ8 has his worse QB passer rating versus the Steelers at 67.4 with 6td and 7ints and 20 Sacks and 1-3 record. Watson has never beaten the Steelers he is 0-2. Burrel Dominates the Steelers but we did have a 4 INT Game versus him in the Season opener in 2022. But with the additions on Defense, I think the Steelers will contain him and slow him down enough to let RW3 Cook! Key Point All Three QB's have injury history: LJ8, Watson, and Burrell and the Backups are average, but the Steelers have Justin Fields as their Back Up! The 2024 Steelers win 12 Games and win the AFC North and make it to the AFC Championship. Steelers were 5-1 in the Division in 2023.

Greeny is bias. I wonder when he did he turn on Russell Wilson.He thinks Justin Fields should be the starting quarterback. Why? Because he's younger? That just Crazy talk.

America and their love affair with JJ McCarthy 🌹 And America with their hate towards Russell Wilson

Justin fields not good

I referenced his salary because it was referenced like he was making $2 this season. It doesn't matter whose paying it because he is still making $39 million this season and he is still QB1 and he is not worried about Justin Fields taking his position.

Tim always has negative things to say about black quarterbacks.

Media click bait fest. Owner makes the call.

If I was Justin Field I would let Russ play considering the schedule in November and December

Tough question...🤔 They're both bad.

I've been saying, ever since the league went to a 17 game schedule and is thinking of a 18 game sean, you need 2 starting qbs in this League. The conversation should be, especially in the AFC North, how to aquire more qbs like Pittsburgh did, and SF also🖤💛🖤💛

I don’t see how people can say they want fields and that he is better when Russ has been to 2 sbs and has a ring meanwhile fields has barely played much and has a horrendous record of 11-28

Justin Fields is a Dynamic Player. Wilson is saFe for Now

ESPN creating drama again where none exists for profit at the expense of fans.

Keep creating stories ESPN. It is Russell Wilson’s team folks. Justin Fields is average and will be a gimmick back up QB. The only way he plays is if Russ gets injured.

If Mitch showed anything it's Russ is guarunteed to start at least 3 weeks 😂

Great job on the pick boss (Steelers)❤🎉😊

Worried 39 million.nah.realy young team though and there will be struggle.plus new offense.

JJ a ready qb? Homie is 21, and saying if you gotta sit him you probably drafted the wrong guy… huh!? How is this on espn i swear its a joke

Neither one is good enough. Russ has been but he's over the hill, feld hasn't been and never will be

Yes.

If Wilson ends up being the backup, his career is over.

🤔

R. Wilson beat the Pratiots & Brady as a rookie!🤡💯

Boring stories during the off season……

I’m not scared of Detroit and we are coming for Green Bay so the Bears will be in the playoffs!🖕🏽🧸⬇️

Sorry Tim but if bears don't make the playoffs the coach will be fired then maybe we will be it 🤡

Russell Wilson is an experiement & Justin Fields is a future journeymen bridge QB, like Fitzpatrick, Brissett, Bridgwater etc. It was a desperation move by Mike Tomlin, because he is on the hot seat & the Pittsburgh Steelers organization is good at keeping quiet about it, nobody does anything like that unless your job is on the line.

He should be worried...and that's worrisome because fields is trash too lol....wilson is washed...and fields is never gonna reach even wilsons level.

I think fields should be the long term qb he’s young

Justin is better overall 🤷🏾‍♂️🤷🏾‍♂️ JF1 All Dayy we miss Justin in Chicago 😤

Jesus loves you!!! God bless! Jesus Christ is King and saves and is the way! Psalms 62 - "Truly my soul finds rest in God; my salvation comes from him. Truly he is my rock and my salvation; he is my fortress, I will never be shaken." Jeremiah 29:11 - "For I know the plans I have for you,” declares the LORD, “plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future.

Steelers will be in last place

Bears can't win with a black African QB 🤨🚬

ESPN = 🤡

Bears r a dog

Should the LEAGUE be worried that the Steelers were able to focus all their MONEY on everything back the QB position. That's the real question. Wilson and Fields are friends, so they will work things out.

The steelers have had a winning record with qbs far worse than Wilson. Trubisky, Picket, Rudolph, hodges. Russ playing as he has the last two years is still better than all those guys.

Justin start, Russ can watch how the offence can be best utilized, then come in when Justin falters.

greeny is outstanding at his job. 🤌🏾
