Steelers Treating Justin Fields Unfairly in QB Situation with Russell Wilson? | Offensive Leadership 

Russell Wilson is a class act!

Fields himself said that Russ is a good leader and that he has learned a lot from Russ...

Just Fields was Mike Tomlins dream QB when he came out of OSU. He loves him, so make no mistake about it, Justin Fields is wanted in Pittsburgh.

Team is already talking great about Russ and liking him

How are they treating him unfairly? He had an opportunity to win the job. Russ was called upon to challenge Pickett and Pickett ran away😂

When Russ was a rookie, Matt Flynn was presumed to be QB1, and Russ was presumed to be the backup. Russ went out and EARNED the starting position over Matt Flynn, and he justified it by becoming an all-pro. Fields wasn’t brought to Pittsburgh to be the starter, but if he’s good enough to do that, let him prove it. He’s a grown man, and he needs to EARN what he gets. If he’s as good as people think he is, he can earn the starting position. But about him being given a chance, he was given that when the Steelers traded for him. To Russ’s haters, the only thing “fair” would be for the Steelers to treat Russ like sh!t. Every time Fields goes into practice, he receives a fair chance, but a backup is a backup. Why do people act like the Steelers owe him something? He isn’t owed anything besides a paycheck for the work he is doing. He’s not owed a crack at the starting position just because he’s younger and presumably more athletic (barely). He’s not owed a chance to start just because certain members of the media and public like him better than they like Russ. He isn’t owed a chance to start just because he and Russ are both new to the Steelers organization. The Steelers TARGETED Russ, and if not for Kenny Pickett self-destructing, the Steelers would’ve had no interest in Fields. In fact, the Bears had no interest in trading Fields to Pittsburgh until AFTER Russ signed there, and there’s a strategic reason for that. He’s also not owed a chance to start just because SOME people think he didn’t get a fair shake in Chicago. Russ clearly didn’t get a fair shake in Denver, and unlike Fields, Russ has a long track record of success! People need to quit trying to put Russ out to pasture! He doesn’t deserve this disrespect. Plus, Fields isn’t another Lamar Jackson. He’s more like Cam Newton. And I’ll keep it a buck: LJ wouldn’t beat out Russ in a training camp competition either. People will probably laugh at that because of the individual success LJ has had, but on an even playing field, with both getting #1 reps, Russ would beat him out with his passing ability. Receivers LOVE Russ because he is insanely accurate, has great velocity, and has a soft touch. Bring up Russ missing open receivers and I’ll ask where those receivers are now. They barely have jobs because they were lazy or repeatedly ran the wrong routes. I’ll also remind you that former and current Seahawks receivers like Doug Baldwin, Golden Tate, Jermaine Kearse, Sidney Rice, Paul Richardson, Brandon Marshall, David Moore, Ben Obomanu, Jimmy Graham, Josh Gordon, Tyler Lockett, DK Metcalf, never got missed! Antonio Brown, one of the greatest, wanted to play with Russ, as did D’Andre Hopkins. They all sang Russ’s praises and still do. People need to quit bashing Russ, and they need to quit assuming he isn’t still athletic. He can still move well enough to give his team 400-500 yards in a season, and he’s a superior passer to LJ and Fields.

Let’s all hit like button and share guys work hard here for our enjoyment

bro love the energy!!! and everyones perspective.. literally feel like you guys are in my head!!!

The Coaching should be giving Fields lots of love. We have a potential franchise QB ready to breakout and he did breakout the second half of last season where the bears went on a great streak and Fields was the catalyst.

If you watched Lamar and Justin in college, you'll know that Justin Fields had a way better arm than Lamar Jackson. Also Fields had only 20% of the weapons last season of what the Steelers have and still had a good season.

Mark is right on the truth & facts.

Let’s gooooooooooooo 😮😊❤

The whole thing is an awesome opportunity for the SteelHouse. They are by nature prone to Championship if everyone does there job.

Didn't listen. Haven't even hit training camp yet.....this is the problem with media, when there is no content they make it up.

Wilson is a proven vet with several pro bowls and a sb ring. Fields has done nothing so far to make me think he'll ever live up to his upside(i hope he proves me wrong) and his play has been inconsistent at best. I'd seriously question what the Steelers were doing if it wasn't Wilsons job to lose at this point in time.

What’s up CC and Mark

Russ & Big Ben have the same work ethic. Mike T knows.

Under the radar new Punter. Presley Harvin shanks directly cost the Steelers a game in 2022 & 2023 Not to mention giving other Offensive’s great field position many other times making it really tough on Defense

Since Ben finally retired. There hasn't been a fair QB battle. Tombstone Tomlin already decides before any camp starts

Idk why people.go crazy over this. Some QBs can start immediately and have success. Some may need a veteran leader to learn from first. Just like every job on the planet. Some need guidance early to understand and then grow, some are self starters. Fields had an organization that didn't want him, didn't build for him amd moved on. They had no one he could learn from there.

Kenny played 5 years at Pitt. He had 16 games under his belt in NFL unfortunately statistics don’t lie🤷‍♀️ wish him the best in Philly .

Mason literally got to start when Ben went down, the hell is mark talking about

If things dont work out, the coaching is not to blame. Lifelong Steeler fan, done with them.

When you talk about 22 points a game all they have to do different than last year is turn one Red Zone trip FG into a TD. That doesn’t seem like something that’s a big reach

Mason Rudolph proved you don't need a running qb if your a pocket passer with accuracy.

How we all heard what the plan was with buddy and now “he’s being treated unfairly” ??? Next year is his time to become the guy. Russell knows too… that could be unfair to him too.

Mark Kaboly is wrong.... Steelers were interested in Justin Fields first and all along. Chicago was trying to act as if they were not going to pick up a QB in the 1st round and was asking too much for Fields. The only reason why Russell Wilson got picked up is because we were able to get him at a ridiculously low price. Nobody was interested in RW when we picked him up. Only interview he had was the Giants. That should speak volumes. We only got him because he was super cheap. Second, let's stop with all of these accolades you guys keep hyping and pumping up about Russell Wilson. If he were so great, two HOF coaches would not have dumped him. We are wasting time hyping up Russell as if we some how are going to resurrect his 2018 season. Finally let me tell you why starting RW is a poor business decision. You start RW and he plays ok maybe to a 5-4 start for the season and goes down with an injury or because the fans are getting tired of mediocracy. Do you really want Justin Fields coming in mid-season cold and with out timing and chemistry to start a 8 game stretch of the hardest schedule in the NFL? Will he get a fair assessment of whether we should keep him or not during that 8 game stretch? Let's say we go 4-4, was that enough to want to resign, keep and invest in JF for the future? On the other hand, start Justin and bench RW. Let Justin play to keep his job and his future with the franchise. Let him build team chemistry and timing through the first half of the season. If he plays poorly and has to be benched, then you know what you got. Behind him on the bench is RW who is a veteran and would be better suited to come in mid-season to salvage it even at the odds we face in the second half of the season. Bottom Line Up Front (BLUF), RW has enough resume for us to know who he is at this point of his career. We need to find out who JF is from our own perspective and not Chicago's. The best hope for the future of this franchise and its QB position is to start Justin Fields. It should be his team to lose, not the other way around.

Justin is here for the future. I honestly believe that. Russ is here for the year to teach Justin how to be a professional and how to win games in the NFL.

Remember the NFL is first a business; having said that, until any new player or veteran wearing a steelers uniform proves themselves on the field of play give them nothing . . .

Mark you have me confused you said you were there at Ben’s year before they went 6-10 they went 15-1 in his rookie season then won sb next year???

Why does Mark Kaboly have a TV on in the background? Is he bored or is he just a master multi-tasker?

They are preparing Fields to be the franchise piece…and Russel was not the number one choice….he became available…Mike T always wanted Fields…then he became available…let’s speak the truth here…Russ came to us after visiting the Jets….lets be fair and stop slinging mud…

I want y’all to keep that same energy when Russell Wilson prove y’all wrong because if he was a white Hall of Fame quarterback the energy wouldn’t be the same but we know how the game goes.

What does Dennis think,4 straight loosing seasons =never was.

Correction for Mark Kaboly: 1. Justin Fields wasn't made available for trade by Bears GM Ryan Poles until AFTER all NFC teams could no longer wait & had to fill their QB vacancies. * Justin Fields wasn't available until AFTER Russell Wilson was signed. 2. Justin Fields is on a ONE YEAR CONTRACT & "sitting a year" only guarantees he's an unrestricted Free Agent & headed back to the NFC North (Lions, Vikings)... ...who faced him twice & year & knows how special he already is.

JUSTIN AND RUSSELL ARE ALOT BETTER THAN WHAT WE HAD😂🎉🎉❤😅😅THEY'RE WINNERS ON THE THIS STEELERS TEAM GO

If you ask me Russ is QB1 and Justin is the future.

QB to look out for is the rookie free agent John Rhys Plumlee

Remember how Mike "teflon" Tomlin kept his best QB, Mason Rudolph, on the bench for most of the season? Yeah, me too, here we go again. smh.

Fields is in a great position and soaking up the nuances of a high-caliber veteran QB. He mentioned it in recent comments and there seems to be a nice chemistry between him and Wilson already. For the first time in his career Fields has no pressure on him and gets to compete with a quality veteran. Might be just what Fields needs to take his game up another notch and clean up his consistency issues while also pushing Russ with his toughest competition to date. Iron sharpening iron

🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉

Russ is the starter we know this feilds need to sit behind russ and learn

We were winning 20-17 games with Kenny that was horrible, so we upgrade to Wilson and you believe we’ll win 21-18 games?! If that’s the case we should’ve just kept Kenny. Respectfully disagree

I think this is a wise move. Fields should sit behind Wilson unless there is some crazy breakout in training camp and preseason games. He has some areas he needs to develop...consistency and going through progressions as he reads a defense. These are things he can learn as the #2 instead of spending all of his time prepping for gameday. We get him for 1 year, he isnt a starter so that should mean a modest contract when we sign him to a longer contract. Russ probably has the higher floor whereas Justin probably has the higher ceiling. We are trying to win playoffs so experience and consistency are more important. Again, the perfect situation for Fields....develop, no pressure, a veteran to learn behind, an experienced OC, a team that is actually building a complete team (think Khalil Mack, Roquan Smith, no WRs, mediocre RB) as opposed to the Steelers who have invested in an O line, WRs, 2 solid RBs, good TEs, and has a defense so the QB doesnt have to score 30 to win.

Nothing Against Russ. Justin is ready now. So sneaky fast. Great arm. Great leader. Great work ethic. Needs to prove his defense/ game processing and guess how you get better at that? Game snaps. Not practice snaps

Justin has to just trust the process. Look at how awesome Justin played last season after sitting on the sidelines and taking advantage of the opportunity to get mentally sharpened and yet more unstoppable. He gets a chance to learn how to win Superbowls playing real football with a real football team. Justin will become the best second string quarterback because in order to become a great leader you have to be a great follower. Make sure Russell Wilson is the MVP that way Justin can kill two birds with one stone. By sitting on the sidelines Justin will learn how to take the game into the future because Justin is a one man offense. But Justin has to learn how to keep the defense honest.

He has a chance to redeem himself he should take it

Mike Tomlin doesn’t believe in real quarterback competition. If he did, Mason Rudolph would’ve been starting to last two years and none of the stuff that happened with them drafting and Pickett would’ve happened.

I can see why...

Justin F is a RB playing QB have yet to see him have any Starting QB Traits

Stop with the fields hit peices. Not one ounce of perspective regarding his chi tenure...never mention that a whole stadium chanted to keep him....what was that for nothing....or ia there more to the story. Just hit peices....pretending to be....impartial. trash youtube.

I will give a Thumbs down due to how they treated Mason Rudolph

I think there is almost no chance of any QB playing 17 games without an injury. So the seeing what Fields has will probably work itself out. I expect him to play at least 2 games for Wilson because of injury

Justin is our future. We want to erase all the negative things he learned being thrown to the wolves in Chicago. Let him sit for a year and learn, learn, learn. He is an above amazing athlete.

How early will Russell, sell a career ending injury?

Justin fields is better than Kyle Murray, Kenny Pickett and Cj stroud so I’m happy

Would've could've should've, Pickett is gone, let's move on.

Lol 😅😅😅😅 you shouldnt be handed the #1 spot you should earn it... you dudes are weird... EVERY team Wilson has been on was 100% better with better coaching and skilled players that what Fields had

Justin Fields is only 25, he can sit and learn

Justin Fields should have never been drafted by my sorry ass Bears. We can't develop quarterbacks worth a shit 😢 😂

Justin Fields Will Ball Out In 2024

Fields will take over the starting spot mid-season and Russ will stay to mentor him since he has been mentoring him since he was at Ohio State….just saying

And Russell Wilson a wash up

Look i know I'm not crazy but did anyone else see what happen when dj Moore came to play with justin fields. Did he get a thousand yards? Now give fields a team made up like the steelers. Well i see a superbowl all day. There are very few qb's that have the college numbers that fields has. He beat out a lot of qb's by the numbers. The man has not been given a chance to be who he could be. He got picked by a funky team like Chicago. He was so good in college and he just lost out by going to a $#%&# team.

Justin Fields has all the potential, but he’s not there yet. Football needs to come back asap, because our favorite podcasts are running out of things to talk about .

Fields sucks and will be a backup qb for ever...he can't play
