Steelers Trade 6th Round Pick For Justin Fields, What Are The Expectations? | Pat McAfee Reacts 

Russ and Fields are both below average starters imo. Joe's kinda old, but he can still be nuts if you have an oline and good deep threats. Kinda bummed browns didn't keep him, I trust him more than Jameis

they'll get what they pay for tbh.

@@corsojames What meth are you smoking? lol

@@corsojamesyou remember when Joe Flacco was on the jets a couple years ago?? That’s the real Flacco, same guy that showed up against Houston in the playoffs

@@corsojames I'm not ready to declare Fields a bust. Many young QBs struggle early in careers. A change of scenery could be good for him.

Because he did SOO well with Kenny Pickett. Listen I like Tomlin but I don't think he's the right coach to develop QBs. That's more tailored towards other coaches.

@@maskedman5657Kenny pickets ceiling is nowhere near as high as fields. Fields is 10x the athlete than Kenny 🤦🏽‍♂️cmon bruh be fr.

Fields is Kenny Pickett with legs. The delusion here is astounding.

He’s gonna be third string, drafting a qb this year for sure

@@Zayb3lll BETTER ATHLETE ≠ MORE COACHABLE I.E. Look at Geno Smith under Pete Carroll and Shane Waldron. Like come on bruh use your brain.

Lmao

I saw the hand n was like whaaat…

@@j_fley6702 forget Neuralink, give me anatomical pockets.

Those are called khakis

Won't happen, Omar will NOT let Justin Fields play 51% of the snaps. He wants that 4th round pick.

Is it play or play at quarterback?

​@runuldmcdunuld3756 he doesn't have to play 51% of the snaps. Just on critical downs, have some plays drawn up to guarantee you 3 or 4 yards.

@@jaykessler1084 Oh my bad I misread, I thought he said at all times 🗣️

@@defoley5 I thought you said at all times, it’s just 51% of the snaps I think

Buckeye and browns fan.. have very mixed emotions about this 😂 nah good luck to fields I did not want to see his career dumpsterd in Chicago

Yessir !

Fields is awesome. You are so lucky.

Can’t wait for all the excuses Steelers fan gives fields just like bears fans gave him…. Dude is dog and people can’t accept that…..

I'm a Bears fan and mad that the Bears traded Fields away but happy he went to a team that can develop Fields. I definitely plan to buy buying a Fields Steelers jersey now.

@@matthewmiller5652 fields 2 yrs behind Wilson could be an opportunity for fields to have a historical career

You can have him. He stinks.

Wouldn’t say he’s failed 😂 I would say didn’t get a chance for him

Always lol

@@cjsgamertag7032uhhh you mean the 3 years he started for the Bears wasn’t his chance? Lol ok

You mean the way failed quarterbacks have been handled for decades?

100% to have an actual linebacker let alone one who can wreck a game is insane. khan is a fkn genius

QB always gonna be prioritized coverage wise over a defensive player.

His coverage is weak and I think everyone is curious to see him without the supporting cast he had last year.

@@kaseysamples8001he still has a supporting cast

In a way you’re right. But one could also argue that the Wilson and Fields moves both have more value per dollar spent than the Queen move. Getting Wilson and fields for a few million total gives more value to the team per dollar than Queen for tens of million, which is why that gets more coverage. Queen’s average salary under the new co tract will be $13.6m. He’s getting paid 13 times more than Russ, and nobody would say Queen is a full 13 times more valuable than Russ. That’s what makes the Russ story especially so big.

they didn't trade him for a pack of gum it was a 6-pack and a bag of chips.

A 6th round pick for a 1 year backup QB rental is not as good of a deal as people think it is. Fields 5th round option is up so if he does end up balling he’ll be a FA and will have to get paid next year

It was a permanti sandwich and case of iron city beer 😂😂😂

Lmao the bears have won a Super Bowl tho so obviously they can get it right doofus

@@imanoldurango8213how long ago was tht?

Jim McMahon?

@@dannymurray1854 last time they won was 1986 5 decades ago

@@imanoldurango8213they won that with an otherworldly defense in 1985, and that was when the league wasn’t an offensive firework driven league

Been a Steelers fan since 1970, and have seen this organization for 50 years. Russell Wilson SUCKS

@nypittbucks050464 *I've been a fan since the mid 80's and I've ALWAYS LOVED STEELERS' TRADITION PERIOD!!! But It's time to EVOLVE!!!*

now you just have the black versions of Kenny and Mason Rudolf

​@blitzzzburgh77 You got another Kenny Pickett with speed 😂

Now they need a WR or that offense is going to continue to struggle!

Same here, after the disrespect shown to Fields I’m selling my season tickets!!! I’m done as a Bears fan….. Caleb will be a bust… Poles will be fired

@@BoricuaHunter💯%

😂😂😂😂😂

Great kid but this is unfortunately correct coming from a Bears fan. Justin tends to want to throw deep every time which leads to holding the ball too long. Thereby missing open receivers in the short to intermediate areas. Kurt Warner said it now next best after this comment... Justin continues to miss the layups

But that's simply just not true. He processes the game extremely fast. He just didn't have open receivers to throw to.

@@Nobody2day553cope harder brother

@@Axel-iy4xsactually, they are not too far off the mark tho. Bears WRs (as a core) were dead last in separation for the last two years. Does that excuse ALL of Fields play? Nope, but that doesn’t help things either.

Maybe in 6 years when you have new players and coaches.

Here we go to the draft to top it all off! I'm still stoked about Patrick Queen signing and that got overshadowed immediately. That's the only shame in all of this is Pittsburgh didn't have time to really welcome Patrick Queen to the Burgh! Welcome Queen!

SUPA BOWL

Steeler fan's can't spell

@@broskee6149 hard to do with all this gold on our fingers

Too bad Fields has some of the worst football IQ and mental processing ever witnessed from a full time starter. The fact he was never benched once in 3 seasons is mindboggling

You either have processing ability or you don't. Fields is a bust at the QB position.

@@djmohab2 if Kirk had his athleticism he would be a top QB but he doesn’t so he’s not , I rather the guy with the talent because in certain situations his talent will outweigh . The longer he plays the more he will understand the game it’s simple . Experience comes with time . He wasn’t as bad as people make it seem . His team was bad , but when they played good you saw what they were able to do . He’s good enough to start , the problem with the nfl is there not many spots available and the spots that are available the teams are too stuck in there ways .

@@Kolbi504 delusional Fields simp. He's trash.

@@Kolbi504you're delusional. Kirk has proven to be a top-10 QB. Fields has proven to be refried dogshit.

As a bears fan getsy was depressing. Fields is gonna win the starting job eventually.

EASILY beyond Pickett. The real disrespect is that any team wanted Pickett over Fields. I figure no one wants to mold their offense and bet their coaching career to Fields's talents and potential. It's like teams passing on Lamar Jackson before that.

Get back to the eye doctor yoy need your calibration reset before you use them to test anything.

I mean he did Lamar won mvp with similar stats

Put him on the Ravens, he is MVP instead of Lamar

@@wavestation999why didn’t the ravens try to get him then? 🤣 doofus

​@@wavestation999 Justin couldn't read a defense if u put a gun to his head. Lamar always chokes in the playoffs, but u still have a better chance with him than most qbs, including Justin

@@wavestation999fields is nowhere near Lamar as a processor of the field lol most overrated guy in the league

Both Falcons QBs are better.

@@slimvickins5059that’s a negative ghost rider

Between fields and tomlin no one will ever be responsible for things going sideways. Always someone else's fault or things weren't perfect. The Steelers way.

Sounds about right lmao

Compared to the great QB room of Kenny Pick-it, and Racist Rudolph before 😂😂

@@PhysicalFortitude "Pick-it" would make more sense if he had more than 4

I bet Warren is stoked and Georgie Pickens

As a bears fan I'm celebrating

@@HateMeDontCare just feel bad for Fields. We finally get pieces around him and he doesn’t get his shot. We could’ve used the pick to draft another weapon (Harrison Jr) but instead we’re prolly gonna draft Williams and I’m not too keen on him at the moment. But only time will tell

@@UnkleSammPoles made sure he went to a good organization though. Supposedly the Bears received a better trade offer at a worst team for Fields, but Poles declined so he could hopefully have a better shot at starting at the Steelers in the future

@@derek8147 I still think we should’ve kept him 🤷🏼‍♂️

@@UnkleSamm yeah I'm not to keen on him either. I have never been Justin Fields fan but I will say they should have given him one more year. That being said though I am happy for the change tho. I just wanna beat Green Bay twice in a season that's All

Didn’t do right by him leaving either.. basically making the deal so he doesn’t play this year

​@@anthonyholder7629he wasn't going to start anywhere. The bears let him pick his destination, and he picked Pittsburgh

Yeah hopefully. I wish Fields just told Poles to send him to the Vikings. He would have gotten paid more money, probably started, and gotten a great HC in Kevin O Connell

@@maskedman5657you’re crazy for thinking we would trade him to a team in our own division 😂

That’s the most bears statement I’ve heard..

😂😂😂 can’t give up that 4th rounder, 6th pick only! L o l

Russell is going to be fine as the starter. He has a career 100 QB Rating, he's consistently good.

Not really

​@@fmthebaron go back and watch Russ last season. Tell me when his fumbles occurred. Denver sucked a lot last year, literally, bc of his decisions. Fumbles don't factor into passer rating. Have fun with him though. He's done. Washed.

@@oneskillpoint4669 I liked the Fields signing. I just can't stand people acting like Russ is still good. He's not the guy anymore. Fields probably takes that starter job in week 3.

​@rjmawhinney6482 fumbles lmao, because fields doesn't do that a bunch

You are extremely hilarious in your assessment of the three former waterbacks!😂

Damn near every stat is cherry picked

that's the ESPN effect

I mean they were talking about it sarcastically

In addition to, Only 2 QB's to win 25 are Justin Fields & Russell Wilson Worst QB record in the NFL since 2021 1: Justin Fields: 10-28 2: Zach Wilson: 12-21 3: Russell Wilson: 17-27 Most Sacks taken in the NFL since 2021 1: Justin Fields: 135 2: Russell Wilson: 133 Better hope Steelers use two of their first three drafts on C & RT.

Wouldn't that make him The Shearer?

Nah he way over paid for fields

I don't see how it can be any worse.

All of them

As many as possible.

Other teams did offer more, but they let fields pick his team. Benefit of having Tomlin as your coach?

Whats the difference between some random qb you could draft in the 6th and Fields? The random could actually be good. They way overpaid, no one else wanted him.

Just like the broncos made an amazing move at qb when they signed Russ? 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

@@imanoldurango8213 Well, tbh, Wilson's weaknesses in Denver are seen as strengths for our Steelers offensive philosophy of run, run ball control passing. Need to draft a C and RT right out of the gate to secure the OLine as Wilson & Fields have been sacked a combined 268 times over the past 3 years.

We have George Pickens

@@mannyz5 that's my point!

Nah he could've have ended up in so many better situations. He could have went to the Vikings and got paid like Far old and Learned from Kevin O Connell, He could have also went to the Rams. Where he's learning from Sean McVay and Matthew Stafford.

Russ isn’t HOF caliber. We can’t let just every SB winning QB in the HOF

Harris/Warren isn’t one of the best backfields in the league? Warren is a role player and Najee has been a bust prior to a slight break out this year. I’d argue it’s not even a top 10-12 backfield. Much has upside but isn’t a star by any means. His stats haven’t been great and he’s been injured. He “could be” a star but has yet to prove it Pickens has huge upside but Is also extremely inconsistent. He’s a good young WR2 but can’t be a WR1 at this stage in his career. If pickens is the WR1 when the season starts then they’re in trouble. Losing diontae was huge. They need to draft a WR or make a run at Mike Williams. If they don’t get Mike or a rookie then they’re in serious trouble. Teams can easily double/shadow pickens and then it’s all tier 3 WR’s. They made great moves at QB. Low investment and low risk.. but, need a WR. Also not a huge fan of either QB. Russ is completely washed at this stage of his career and fields is a project. Steelers are probably going to be around .500 again. Remember, broncos were hard to watch last year on TV because of how bad russ and that offense were.. Steelers will get 2nd-4th in that division and squeak into playoffs for a first round loss at best.

​@maskedman5657 Apparently bears had a few other offers for fields but fields told the bears organization that he wanted to go to pitt
