Steelers' Russell Wilson, Justin Fields Cause for Chaos or Hope at Quarterback? | Back to the 90s?
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 14 апр 2024
- The Pittsburgh Steelers' quarterback room with Russell Wilson and Justin Fields brings hope to some, but is it a preset for chaos? Chris Carter approaches that question with Jim Wexell, who covered the Steelers when they were searching for the next franchise quarterback in the 1990s and saw the rapid changes under Bill Cowher. Are Wilson and Fields better for the Steelers than the days of Kordell Stewart, Mike Tomczak and Jim Miller?
Also, Chris gets Jim's insights on the NFL Draft, and which players he think the Steelers should prioritize for the first round. Could an offensive tackle that's drafted early still begin the season on the bench behind Dan Moore?

Amazing Steeler content. Excellent job Chris. Way to create a new perspective and lense to see this draft from another angle. You and Jim brought landed this plane beautifully. Top tier Steeler content. 💯💯💯
Don't worry about Russ. He is a vet. Let Him Steer the ship We'll be fine
I don’t think either Wilson or Fields could’ve asked for a better situation to be in and I don’t think the team could’ve landed a better duo to take them to the next level.
Fair comment. If Fields is willing to be Geno Smith for a few years, he will benefit big time. If fans and media don’t let Russ don his surgery, the patient (i.e., the Steelers) will die. In Denver, Russ had almost no surgical instruments. Geno needs to be the intern that he is…sit, observe, learn, and be ready when his time comes. He will be better off if he just waits 3-4 years. The bag will be there.
I'm more excited about this QB situation than I have been in a long time for the Steelers. Maybe I'm just delusional. But one thing that I keep thinking about chaos or competition in the QB room... Isn't every year, every practice every game a QB competition? For every team? Maybe not every game but certainly every training camp. But no one is saying that. No talks about that.
To me, in the NFL no one gets to rest on their laurels. There is always someone waiting to take your spot.
Russ and fields were wearing the same colors last year and they’re wearing the same colors this year 😂. It was an omen.
Jim, the O.G. of Pitt sports!
Great content
Great episode
What's so crazy the bears are talking offensive line men , fields was like a 1977walter Payton one man gang with that bears offence
Great content gents!
If last year's team got 26 passing TDs they would've won the division and the number 1 seed. That Cards, Patriots, Colts stretch was brutal.
Cooper DeJean is the only player I would take other than a tackle with the first pick. Dejean reminds me of Rod Woodson consideration ... as DeJean is arguably the best athlete in this draft and could possibly slide to the Steelers #20 pick. Then move up in slightly in the 2nd and take C or tackle and seek to find the other in FA after draft. Use the two 3rd picks to go after WR & DL would be ideal.
Rice and Jalen Coker! Or David White jr.
Rod woodson ran a 4.29, DeJean is no where near that fast.
@@thee1melvin I wasn't comparing DeJean's athletic ability to Woodson. I was comparing the Steelers situation given the possibilty of DeJean sliding in the draft (like Woodson) to where the Steelers could land one of the more talented and versatile players in this draft. Make no mistake ...there's only 1 Rod Woodson.
I want wilson for this year and Fields for next year/future. Longest wilson can stay is 2 years. Future should be fields. We have to give him a chance. If wilson wins super bowl which Steelers should compete for. Great. Still extra 1 year deal or let walk and let fields play. Let him learn this year and be ready to go next year.
Russell Wilson or Justing Fields will obviously be dependent on the protection. I think neither will have success without a much-improved O-line from 2023 squad. If the running game meets team goal of getting firmly established. That may open the passing game to contribute some down field plays. Not to sound negative... but a balanced offense that actually produces would be a nice change of pace that's been absent for a long while. Thank you, Chris for emphasizing what has to be the priority in turning this team around. Keep up the great work.
Lol clueless. If the line isn’t improved, then high it will be duh 🙄
They are both mobile QB’s and the threat along with a solid run game is enough when void of protection.
All you fans who want to keep
On with the negativity when they haven’t even put on literal uniforms yet is crazy.
The exact same fans who were optimistic about Rudolph and Pickett 😂😂😂😂😂😂
A recent first round pick and a Super Bowl QB get more flack than a bust and a never been hmm 🤔 wonder what’s the difference 🙄🤐
Russ is superior to Fields at playing with bad or average protection, and that would be the case no matter which of Russ’s ages you used for comparison.
Russ ranked 9th in mitigating negative plays, right behind Mahomes by a difference of just 0.12%, and Stroud by a difference of 0.15%
Curiously, Russ was a notch above Kenny Pickett (by 0.16%), so people who claim Pickett sucks might want to rethink that.
Russ also out-ranked Josh Allen, Trevor Lawrence, Jalen Hurts, Dak Prescott, Baker Mayfield, Jordan Live, Tua Tagovailoa, and Brock Purdy, all names people would strangely have guessed to be above Russ!
Fields ranked 27th!
What I would love to hear is Russ saying we’re a team and me an Justin are going to win a ring together we can use his special talents to help. NOW THATS leadership
He’s already said that when Fields was signed.
I think Wexell would be ol with Mims and Van Pran reuniting with Jones on the line
The QB situation will come down to which one fits and handles Smith's offense better. With all of the WR 2 talk? The significance of TE usage in this scheme is lacking focus. Will Wilsom function effectively in that regard? Neither was tremendous in middle of the field situations, but Fields had some decent usage with Kmet in Chicago.
Also, getting lost in QB/WR hype? Is the salary cap implications beyond this season. Trade options and either QB next year would put them in a precarious cap position in 25.
Dan Moore, barring injury, is the starter week one, regardless of who they draft. The best case? Is an early/mid-season switch similar to last year.
It's fairly safe to assume Moore is coming in at his best thus far. It's his contract season.
Imagine paying a WR like Aiyuk, 30 mil at QB, another 20 mil or better at LT in 25. Then, look at the additional 25 FA's.
OT, WR, C, and DL are must haves in this draft.
Amazing all the talk is on college players coming off season ending injuries that should be top picks
He is going to be the best of the division and we are going to get a chance to go to the super bowl
I say Hope simply because 🤕 injuries are part of the game
I just don’t see than staying at 20. I see them trading down for another 2nd round pick or even up in the first round and then trading back down again for even more picks. 🤷🏻♂️
If they stay with their 1st 3 selections, it’s going to be extremely difficult to land what they need.
The thing I think makes the most sense is trading back with either GB or ARI. That gives us great rnd 2/3 picks to address needs and let's us still take someone like A. Mitchell to give a big spark to the offense
Does Cooper daJean has the same skill set as Rod Wilson
Look van pran in the 3rd but I don't like It, however it allows them to get tackle and receiver or i hope they go Cooper DeSean first jpj second round and receiver 3rd
👍👍👍👍👍👍👍
I think the Steelers should trade next year’s first round pick for two picks this year’s draft. Hopefully a second and may be a fourth. I may be worth off on the values here.
I did like him as a receiver tho
Jim why don’t you ask the Rooney’s how much money do they need? A player is always asked how much money do they need. Smh
Bradon Aiyuk is better than Johnson. You complaining about paying a top 10 wr ro stay on the team. No one is being paid on the offense. 🤦🏾♂️
Helped us by getting tribusky benched and Canada fired 😂😂
I watched the Stewart games, he stunk all he could really do well was run
Ppl keep talking about Ricky pearshal b4 Keon Coleman should be a criminal offense
If we draft a RT plz believe Dan Moore will not be the starter at the LT
I still say Cam Sutton will be on this roster by opening day
Kordell Stewart was waisted!! Kordell had 4 OC’s in 4 years and was never really given a chance to play because Cowher didn’t know what to do with him
DJ helped the franchise and we flipped him for a starting CB
Is beau limmer so bad to never get air time?
Tha answer is Wr is tha least important we have receivers there not stars our star is pick this offense is only dependent on 2
Dude JF is a FAR better passer than. Stewart your absolutely ridiculous
I almost threw up in my mouth.jim miller a guy who literally couldn't throw the ball more than 10 yards.makes k p look like Ben.mike tomczyk was a gamer and had some great games.on MNF he went into Kansas city and won a big game throwing for 300 plus.my other memory on Mike is when he got decapitated in a lions game don't know if he was ever right again .that loss to san Diego at home in championship game was my worst moment in Steelers history.
Bill Cowher handled the QB position HORRIBLY, but he gets a pass 'Cause it's Cowher 'Wink-Wink' (Looks like your fav Uncle)
Let Tomlin have some some mess like this and they would’ve wanted him strung up!! 🤦🏽♂️
We know why (Wink wink)
The defense was able play more aggressively than today's game. Once they freed the QB and WR ... QB became paramount
Racially skewed comments.
Knuckle dragging! Smh
Yep. He didn't even want Big Ben. He wanted some Iowa lineman who didn't last but 4 years in the league.
He was a very good Coach, but he handled the QB room very poorly
Please shut up.. justin fields is in the same position as Kenny Pickett, he just will have a chance to learn from a veteran QB.. Russell will start and gives the steelers the best chance to win a superbowl this year.. Justin fields will be the steelers franchise QB.. The steelers just traded Pickett for a Real franchise QB.. Justin Fields.. so please stop talking
lol JF will never be a franchise QB>
Chaos no doubt. Neither is franchise QB
Is it dijon or ... dude retire..Wex come on
Can't imagine sending such nastiness over a mispronounced college player. I wish you good luck and peace.
In Louisiana (and Canada & France) the name DeJean would sound a lot more like DeShawn than DeGene. A perfectly fine, respectful question about how to pronounce a specific person's name.
Jim's still doing it right!
The Steelers won in spite of Kordell Stewart . Never because of him . Ahead of his time ? Na . How about , never should have been a QB . Better WR .
False narrative
Russ is the dude. People need to cut out the bullsh!t. Fields is nowhere near Russ’s level. Anyone viewing Russ as a so-called short-bridge QB is sorely mistaken.
