Hell ya Steelers to host the 2026 nfl draft let’s gooo
I think your opinion of Justin Fields depends, in part, on how you feel about Lamar Jackson. If you think Lamar Jackson is capable of winning a SB with the Ravens, you have to be about losing your mind over the Steelers having Justin Fields. The numbers say that Justin Fields, with the Bears, is Lamar Jackson but on a lesser team with little talent around him. Now, Justin Fields on the Steelers, has the talent around him to equal, or even surpass, Lamar Jackson. It really depends on whether the Steelers' overhauled offensive line is as good as advertised. I honestly believe the Chicago Bears are going to be very embarrassed by the end of this season.
Yeah! I felt angered and embarrassed because I have that feeling JF will be a Superstar in Arthur Smith's offense. I'm still tripping off of Justin got traded for a 6th rounder for Ryan Poles to draft a guy a few scouts, analysts, and players described as the Junior Varsity JF with no veteran leadership like Russ provides in Blitzburgh. It's bad when even Chicago beat writers noticed how much better of an organization the Steelers are compared to Bears just watching OTAs. They noticed how much more confidence and enthusiasm he has in the Black and Gold world. Omar the Khan man got away with Grand Theft Quarterback twice, and could capture a Superbowl soon because of it. Like the Tupac song say "I ain't mad atcha"
Fields isn’t Lamar Jackson. That comparison is where people make their mistake. Fields is more Colin Kaepernick.
@@manuelgarza1268You’re wrong. The Bears knew what they were doing. Fields wasn’t traded to Pittsburgh to be anything but a backup this year, and that is exactly what he will be. Riss isn’t going to lose his spot to Fields. In fact, Russ will be in the MVP conversation this year if he doesn’t win it!
@DeCurtaRican OK. I get that you like Wilson. That's fine. I like him too. I really don't have a strong preference. I am rooting for both of them. That said, you are wrong about Fields. I saw a statistical work-up and comparison between Fields and Jackson on one of the morning football shows a couple of weeks ago. I was shocked at how close the numbers were between an MVP and the QB of a team with a losing record. They were nearly the same player. Then, the guys on the show dug deeper and showed a direct correlation between Lamar's wins and Justin's wins to offensive line talent and dropped passes. I wasn't referring to just my own opinion, but also that of people who get paid to make such comparisons. I think your high opinion of Wilson is blinding you to the potential of Fields, who is twice the athlete that Kaep ever was. I do agree that if the SB version of Russell Wilson shows up, he and the Steelers could have a great season. I also think that Justin Fields is a Lamar Jackson type of franchise QB waiting to happen. He just needs a decent team around him. This is something the Steelers can give him.
Good for the STEELERS offensive new and improved❤😂🎉🎉😅
All I wanted to see and hear from Kenny.... show some fight and not back down from competition... Justin said the right thing... I don't expect to be on the bench all year... how you should approach it.
Your right just showing that kp had no confidence in himself talk about setting the bar to f ing low anyway glad he's gone got fields with the right attitude let's go!
Justin is QB2, and it’s going to stay that way.
Fields is competing with Russ. Russ is competing with himself.
Fields’s mindset is exciting but it won’t make him a starter if Russ is just better, which he still is. Fields had requested Pittsburgh when Kenny Pickett and Mason Rudolph were the QBs.
He wasn’t planning on completing with Russ, and frankly he’s nowhere near Russ’s level as a passer, nor does he play as well in the clutch. The Bears sent him to Pittsburgh after Russ signed because they knew he would wind up on the bench, which is where they want and need him as Caleb goes through his growing pains.
It’s crazy that people don’t understand why the Steelers became such an attractive option only AFTER Russ signed. They weren’t even looking in the Steelers’ direction. After Russ signed they not only sent Fiekds there but lowered their asking price significantly, essentially paying the Steelers to take Fields off their hands. They did that because they wanted him on another team’s bench, not starting as a franchise QB in his first year away from the Bears.
The idea of Fields displacing Russ is ridiculous when you examine the numbers.

*Keep in mind that Russ’s career statistics include two subpar years in Denver in which both years skewed Russ’s stats downward.*
If we were to discount Russ’s Denver years, Russ’s 3-year average stats would be that much better than Fields’s, and that would include two injury years in Seattle (2016 and 2021) that produced outlier statistics.
I would say, let them run their team and let it play out! His name isn’t Tomlinson!
I can’t believe J Fields is a Steeler . I’m super excited about Wilson but I’m not sure how long we can keep him. I love both of them.
This is a fair comment, but I would like to point out some things:
Fields is competing with Russ. Russ is competing with himself.
Fields’s mindset is exciting but it won’t make him a starter if Russ is just better, which he still is. Fields had requested Pittsburgh when Kenny Pickett and Mason Rudolph were the QBs.

You 2 guys ALWAYS get it wrong 🤣
If Russ plays well I think they keep him for another two years. No idea what they would do with Justin at that point.
Maybe , I think fields wins if not this year definitely next love his approach and professional attitude let's fuc$$$ go!
I just wish you guys would report this correctly. It's you who is saying Russ is week 1 starter....Tomlinson only said pole position for the start of camp. You keep conveniently leaving that out.
Only way Russ don’t start is if he gets hurt
You’re smoking if you don’t think Russ is not the starter the offense is being built around him he was brought to Pittsburgh to start. Justin Fields is a project quarterback nothing more enjoy watching him be on the bench and play a a gadget QB type of role that’s all he has these guys love Justin Fields for some reason and keep claiming that he’s going to be the future of Pittsburg. He’s not that’s why he was traded for a six round pick and no team in the NFL wants him
Who is Tomlinson?
@@joeymendez9814 you sound.....not well informed. It's ok. I watched games. You the type person always beleive a liar lolol. Too much watching lashawn McCoy lolol.
@rickylash7972 you right my bad Tomlin.....I be going too fast lol.
MUUUUUUUUUUUTH❕️❕️❕️
The Steelers aren't so good that they can sit their first round pick. Especially with the brutal schedule. Every game is a must win this season.
I think it would be nice to get another WR, but this team is going to live in 2 WR & 2 TE sets, so I think they could play with Pickens and Wilson as the 2 WRs
They have high hopes for Freieuth when he’s gonna be playing with a QB that historically doesn’t throw over the middle…lol. I don’t see him or Roman Wilson doing much of anything this season.
Justin is QB2, and it’s going to stay that way.

I reserve my judgment for Russ and Fields when the actual season starts. It will be 1 of 3 possible outcomes.
1. They are good.
2. They are average.
3. They are garbage.
Until then all the speculation is just adding drama.
If anyone thinks this is a real competition you are fooling your self. Wilson is going to be the number one. Fields is a turnover machine. Tomlin won't put up with that unless Wilson gets hurt
Agreed! Justin is QB2, and it’s going to stay that way.
Fields is competing with Russ. Russ is competing with himself.

You guys keep talking C. Sutton, (Jackson Slot) but why not Gilmore at CB , release Kazee and free up 3mil cap space and sign Justin Simmons, or even better, trade Cam Heyward, sign or trade for Jonathan Allen, younger player 29, just food for thought.
If the Steelers had a dollar for every "look it" said on the pod, we would have enough money to pay JJ.
Stephen… Everybody on earth knows he can’t play RT. Tomlin said it last year.. Moore admitted this year.. and every fan knows.. it’s not an option!!!
If Russ stays in that means we are winning, if we aren’t fields will play. I don’t see the problem with that
Jackson is going to be better than they have had in a few years other than Porter.
Love how you picture Russ looking over his shoulder at something and picture Fields putting in work. Will you people stop with the bullsh!t narratives? The job is Russ’s, and unless he absolutely stinks up the joint or suffers a real injury, it’s going to stay that way. You don’t get to tell Mike Tomlin what to do, and even if the fans start calling for Fields, it’s not going to make Tomlin start him over Russ.
Fields knows he will get playing time, but as far as his starting over Russ, y’all can let that go. It’s a pipe dream. Russ is still very much an elite QB regardless of what people THINK they saw over the last two years.
Y’all saying start fields,start fields,start fields,but during the videos of otas. Russ arm strength is still there or even better. His release looks quicker and he looks even slimmer than last season. Idk this might be that year for Russ
Again, you guys better get used to it. It’s Russell Wilson’s team. Justin Fields has had no success in his career. He had three losing seasons in Chicago and lost at times playing quarterback. There is no competition. He has no right to be a starter. He’s facing a Hall of Fame Super Bowl winning quarterback who still putting up better numbers than Justin’s ever put up please stop at the narrative that there’s a competition he’s gonna be sitting the bench and coming in for gimmick plays like Taysom Hill.
Agreed. Justin is QB2, and it’s going to stay that way.

Let Fields stand on the sidelines . Watch and learn from a class act and real pro in Russell Wilson
Fields needs to be a QB2 for at least a year before moving on to another team and getting another crack at starting. Below, I have posted some stats, but I would like people to think logically for a minute.
Justin is QB2, and it’s going to stay that way.
Fields is competing with Russ. Russ is competing with himself.
Fields’s mindset is exciting but it won’t make him a starter if Russ is just better, which he still is. Fields had requested Pittsburgh when Kenny Pickett and Mason Rudolph were the QBs.

NOTE: As you can see, Fields has a slight advantage in rushing. Russ is superior in every other department. While both take a lot of sacks, Russ has taken them due to bad/inconsistent O-Lines and pure stubbornness on his part.
Fields takes them because he can’t read the field!

*Keep in mind that Russ’s career statistics include two subpar years in Denver in which both years skewed Russ’s stats downward.*
If we were to discount Russ’s Denver years, Russ’s 3-year average stats would be that much better than Fields’s, and that would include two injury years in Seattle (2016 and 2021) that produced outlier statistics.
Chicago Bears fans are pissed the Bears General Manager traded Justin Fields because of pressure from Chicago MAGA sports media.
Omar Khan and Ryan Poles appear to be close, so expect Khan to support sitting Fields as long as possible to give his buddy in Chicago a head start with his rookie quarterback he didn't need to draft.
Conversely, expect Auther Smith & Tomlin to support starting the best QB (Fields) who gives them the best chance to win and continuity at the QB position.
Fields will be unrestricted after this season and the Steelers should show him the same excitement he has for the franchise.
Notice How Kyle and The New Guy aren't even part of the Drama Narrative. Hey Geniuses... It Costs the Steelers a 4th rounder instead of a 6th rounder if they play Field's 54 snaps. Why Would They Do That? For Fans?😂😂😂😂 Stop the Madness
Fields has yet to throw for more than 3000 yds in a season or more than 17 TDs. WTF are some of you smoking?
Justin will get reps with the ones
Justin is QB2, and it’s going to stay that way.
Fields is competing with Russ. Russ is competing with himself.
Fields’s mindset is exciting but it won’t make him a starter if Russ is just better, which he still is. Fields had requested Pittsburgh when Kenny Pickett and Mason Rudolph were the QBs.
He wasn’t planning on completing with Russ, and frankly he’s nowhere near Russ’s level as a passer, nor does he play as well in the clutch. The Bears sent him to Pittsburgh after Russ signed because they knew he would wind up on the bench, which is where they want and need him as Caleb goes through his growing pains.
It’s crazy that people don’t understand why the Steelers became such an attractive option only AFTER Russ signed. They weren’t even looking in the Steelers’ direction. After Russ signed they not only sent Fiekds there but lowered their asking price significantly, essentially paying the Steelers to take Fields off their hands. They did that because they wanted him on another team’s bench, not starting as a franchise QB in his first year away from the Bears.
The idea of Fields displacing Russ is ridiculous when you examine the numbers.

Mike T is patient to a fault and will give Russ every opportunity to fail and if Justin is on the field you know Russ failed to get the job done...
He has a chance to learn and recapture his career with a team that is ready for a Vet and a much better than Pickett option with fields Amen
Sutton should already be signed
Justin>Russell
Why the HELL haven't I heard MORE PEOPLE , you TWO KNUCKLEHEADS ESPECIALLY , talking about using Fields LIKE BILL COWHER USED KORDELL STEWART IN THE MID 90'S ?? It would be PERFECT utilization of Fields TALENT - especially his RUNNING ABILITY which is INCREDIBLE to say the least ! Can SOMEONE please CLUE ME IN on this ?
Again....why you Want Tomlinson to give Russ the job. This is just a russ love fest....why you need to protect Russ. Let them compete.
Not saying I'm one over the other but Russ was named the starter when the signed him in the beginning of free agency, remember that's why Kenny threw a temper tantrum and wanted out.
Stop calling Mike T. Tomlinson, it's Tomlin.
If it's a real competition, Justin wins hands down
@@roningaijin7701 your right. RUclips jail for me I guess?
Um Nobody is Giving Russ the Job. He's earned it when he beat Field's in a Regular Game Set. Never Alone did Field's Beat Mahomes???? Allen??? NO!! So When Justin Who I Like very much learns to be Better than Russ then he will get the gig BUT Not before That..
