Broncos fan here. Wish Russ nothing but the best. I think he did great for the situation he was put in. He wasn't a scheme fit for Payton, and yet still balled out. If someone will build a team around HIM, I think he's a top 10 quarterback. His numbers were top 10 for a coach and team who DIDN'T do him any favors.
As a Steelers fan I would not mind if the team gave Russ a try . He’s a free agent so we don’t have to give up picks, and Denver is paying pretty much all of his salary
He wants to be a starter, if he comes in and Kenny or Rudolph play better in preseason (which one them definitely will) than Russ will be a divide in the locker room.
@@letsgobrandon7297 Idk what the organizations gonna do. As a fan though I’m hoping they give up on Kenny. It would be nice if Russ played well and we could do what the packers did and draft a young guy next season to sit behind him
@letsgobrandon7297 Russell Wilson had 26 touchdowns and 8 picks last year the steelers have 24 tds in last 2 years kenny pickett is not it I wish it was I got a autographed jersey from training camp last year
@jjpickens1007: Kenny very well might be a bust but i don’t think that’s a definite conclusion right now, would like to see him get one final chance this year and if he’s not improved by week 3 or 4 then pull the plug. I think Mason is better than Russ right now, Steelers had a horrible offense coordinator those last two years and Denver had a better O-line. I’d take Kurt Cousins tho if they were able to get him cheap.
@jackoneill1336: What about Mason? He’s underrated, I know he’s not a HOF QB but he has potential to give Steelers a cpl years of success. He looked good this year.
being that he has 39 million next year guaranteed. He should take the veteran minimum with condition the Steelers use the savings to bolter Oline and running game ...etc.
The irony here is Russ has taken the offensive line's money in both Seattle and Denver. As a Steeler fan, I love that Denver would pay for the Steelers offensive line.
Rent Russ on the cheap for a year or two. Maybe Russ can take the Steelers farther; the Steelers have a strong defense, good running game, very good to great tight end, and couple of receivers that if they are focused could be great. The problem arises if he gets to the divisional or better, Do you give him the long term contract? Cost Seattle at 26 million and Denver at 85 million...Do the Steelers want to be next? Russ stopped being: Let Russ Cook, Russ, and went back boring Russ that only threw for 204 ypg, but won over 50% last year and was in every game.
The one issue I have with everyone's opinion of that is, he was stuck with Matt Canada through all his playing time. He only got in ONE game after Canada was fired in which he looked significantly better and immediately started throwing down field more. I still wanna see some more of Kenny out from under the anemic offense that Canada was running for years. I think he at least deserves that much.
We don't need to have the best QB in the division to win it. We're not going to get to have the best QB in the division for some time. What we do have is a solid roster with plenty of talent, what we need is competent QB play. Russ is a massive upgrade over Kenny right now and if it's on the cards they'll do it. There is no way Kenny beats Russ out for the starting job if he signs with the Steelers.
Russell was pretty good last season. I really dont get Payton's problem. But anyway Russell Wilson at Pittsburgh would be awesome. If they can hire a great offensive coordinator of course.
It’s not just Payton’s problem tho, us Broncos fans found out the hard way that his stats and his play are 2 very different things. Absolutely wish him the best. He is a wonderful person but I’m glad I don’t have to watch another season with him as QB.
It’s seemed like as soon as the broncos started clicking and Russ looked like he was turning it around, they cut him. I think he still has solid potential for a vet
Yep, he was doing his best with a team that was in flux and that wasn't the narrative that Payton wanted. If he spoke to any other player like that on the sidelines, he would have (and should have) been punched in the face.
One of his underrated attributes is his ability to develop a connection with his receivers. However this takes time. You could definitely see it coming together in the second half of last season. Too bad it was cut short.
I think Tomlin, Watt and other leaders on this team, being the leaders, are what will be great for Russ. He was best when he wasn't needed to be the leader and started falling off in leadership roles
This isn’t true at all. Any narrative that Russ wasn’t a leader on and off the field and didn’t carry the Seahawks is a big truckload of bullsh!t. He lost his way a bit either way the Hollywood stuff, but he can lead. Richard Sherman and the LoB are not leaders. They seek all of the glory for themselves. The LoB wanted everyone to THINK they were the reason for those SBs but they weren’t. Russ dragged that team into the playoffs with no multiple years in which they were not good enough and would have lost double-digits without him, including 2015, with half the LoB defense injured, no Beast Mode, and other injuries on offense. Russ was certainly the reason the Seahawks looked formidable from 2026 to 2030, because they had no defense, and most of Pete Carroll’s draft picks were garbage! Besides Tyler Lockett, Dak Metcalf, Frank Clark, and Michael Dickson, what notable players did the Seahawks draft between 2014 and 2021? Chris Carson was good when healthy, but he couldn’t stay healthy. If Russ wasn’t a good leader, he never would have started as a true rookie and nearly led the Seahawks to a SB that season. He wouldn’t have led the Seahawks to back-to-back SBs. Russ is a good leader but he is also a flawed one. He has made some mistakes, but there are no domestic violence issues, no DUIs, no PEDs, no altercations, no child abuse, no thefts, no petulant behavior either reporters, teammates, or coaches, and no rumors of s3xual misconduct. Right now, so can think of star players (some of them QBs) who have had those incidents. Why are people trying to erase Russ’s history and gaslight his fans and supporters?
football's a teams sport one of the things that is aggravating is that when the team loses you either blame the quarterback or the coach as if theres no other players on the team! Pittsburgh is an awesome place for Russ and I really hope he goes there! I can tell you right now if Shawn Peyton never makes it to a Super Bowl what he did by basically throwing Russ away will go down as the worst move ever!
As a Steelers fan, it’s not even close. He’d be more like Nick foles if he came here n did something. Bettis was in his second or third year when he came to pitt. Most of Bettis career was here. Russ is on the tail end. It be amazing if we got 5 years of good Russ n MAYBE he becomes a legend but it’s not even close to Bettis.
@@mobileQBpwr2 If Russ is bad, you just switch to Pickett, who was planned to be the starter anyways. Russ is the best QB on the market that doesn't cost an arm and a leg. Keep in mind the run attack is gonna be a heavy focus; it's gonna be all about the play action, which the Steelers offense completely lacked under Canada. Freirmuth in particular is gonna FEAST.
As a Broncos fan, Russell had 1 guy to throw to last year (Sutton) and Sutton is average at best. He left Seattle where he had Metcalf and Lockett (DAWGS!). I wish Denver would have given him better weapons, better protection and more time.
jeudy is the reason russ only had 26 TDs and not 32+ in just his 15 starts lmao. I can think of 5 off the top of my head, wide open TD vs chargers where he didn't drag his foot, 2 TDs vs the chiefs, wide open TD vs vikings on SNF, raiders game he dropped TD, and thats just off the top lmao. and mims is a 4th round rookie he isn't good enough yet. @@quadgaming7021
@@quadgaming7021 Did you watch the games? I did. Jeudy is plagued with drops since he entered the league. Sutton had a great season but he is no show most games. You are just going off highlights/lowlights.
I watched every game and I saw how Willson overthrew his targets or would rather take sacks instead of throwing the ball away. The same is going to happen in Pittsburgh.
i watched every snap hes taken the last 2 years + multiple games in person and the only people that think he's to blame are the broncos fans who dick ride sean payton based on stuff he did 15 years ago lol@@quadgaming7021
Ive said all along after Payton exploded on Wilson that he needs to go to Pit. But If cousins leaves Vikes he would have the best WR and one of the best TEs to throw to
They are waiting for him to become a free agent. They can't sign him yet, whether they want to or not. Technically, willson can't even meet with teams yet, but the broncos gave him permission to do so. Wilson doesn't become a free agent until March 13.
like how he said "russel threw for 26 td and 8 int thats a really good year maybe not so much these days but 26 and 8 is mvp numbers in the past obviously not saying hes mvp or anythng like that" but our actual MVP has 24 td and 7 int 🤔🤔
Russ isn’t a bad quarterback. His last couple years in Seattle he had a terrible line, as soon as the ball was snapped someone was in the backfield. That Denver team was terrible. For him to be top ten in td’s and rating with few turnovers when he was benched was a miracle.
Also, One of his underrated attributes is his ability to develop a connection with his receivers. However this takes time. You could definitely see it coming together in the second half of last season. Too bad it was cut short
Same in Denver. He hardly had time. I will tell u though, he will make some bozo decisions that’ll have you frustrated. Doesn’t find players well in the middle of the field. Does make plays when he has to and throws a nice deep ball
Russ going to Pitt could be a great fit, also getting Kenny a couple years behind a dude who has seen the ups and downs of the league could be great for him
As a football fan it will be fun to see Russ on the Steelers or not on the Steelers. I just find football fun no matter what logo players are paid to wear.
Think that’s bad look at Kenny for an entire season…talk about weird…he manages games 5 over throws 4 sacks trying to scramble no tds in 3 games…it’s ugly out there
If they can get Russ at or near minimum it really is a no brainer. They aren't drafting a QB this year and he's still better than Pickett and probably Rudolph.
Broncos Fan here, and Russ is honestly playing well. It's just not playing well enough for his elite level salary. He could be perfect for Steelers. Will cheer him on if he goes there, good guy. Locker Room loves him too. Good luck to him
Every report has been inflated to tell a story or bait into a conversation. Last one is that Wilson was going to the Raiders because he wanted to stick it to Payton in the division and also he has a great shot of starting beating out O'Connell. Hell, let's make up something for the Commanders getting him. Stop the madness......
That’s what I’m trying to tell people on here. Even if Kenny turns out to be a true bust this year early on we still have Rudolph and he’s very underrated.
Could be a good fit...definitely a better option than KP for sure. Maybe grab another downfield weapon and a few more pjeces on the OL and that offense could be sneaky good.
Highly overrated. He and another current coach have roughly the same tenure in the league, similar win-loss records, a whole bunch of playoff flameouts, and just one Super Bowl appearance each despite many seasons with a future Hall of Fame quarterback. For all intents and purposes, Sean Payton is Mike McCarthy.
Not very many quarterbacks have played for rival teams, Russell Wilson played for Seattle and then Denver of course but now he's signed a one-year deal with Pittsburgh. So he's been on both sides of a Pittsburgh Seattle rivalry I never thought I would see him in Pittsburgh and I'm stoked about it that's actually I just hope it works
Signing Wilson isn't giving up on Pickett. Wilson a good QB to learn from and remember, Rodgers sat 3 years behind Favre before starting. Ah, the gears are turning now. 🤘😎
For any Steelers fans gaslighting each other into saying “Russ is the answer” Last year Russ threw 62% of his passes behind 5 yards and 27% of his passes behind the line of scrimmage. So 89% of his passes were check downs or screens.
I'm down with Russell Wilson he is a proven QB but for at least 3 million only so we can go get S Jamal Adams for 6 million, DB Tre White for 7 million and C Mitch Morse for 6 million 😂 that's my dream scenario lol.
@@Stinkinbadgez Broncos have to pay him that money minus what deal he takes with a new team, so unless he was offered a +2 year deal worth more than Denver’s offer, it makes sense to accept a small deal from a different organization for his success, team benefit, and flipping a bird to Denver.
He was totally a diva and pretty funny to watch but he didn't really play that badly if you take the massive salary out of the equation. The broncos cut him because it was pay him 80 or pay him 125. Clearly you just cut bait and move on. The Steelers tho, if they can get him for two years 5 milly plus some incentives if he is a baller, have another solid draft this year they are set up for a super bowl in 2025 with cheap Russ who's trying to get a deal like flaco in 2012. Seems like a good move for the Steelers or the falcons or the Vikings too really.
Payton has to have a QB that's super quick in reading defenses and going through their progressions in the system he runs. Brees spoiled him in NO because the dude has a computer between his ears.
Steelers fan for life here.....I've gone through the motions with Russ from liked him, to hated him, confused by him, now hoping the future holds "Love him! That's my QB" hope it happens seems like a great fit.
Broncos lifer, and this is with no remorse or malice. Please don’t get your hopes up. I enjoy steelers fans and their passion/fandom. Head on a swivel brother 🫡
As diehard Steelers fan, the Steelers need a QB to compete in the AFC. If they could afford Kirk Cousins that’s the best option. Wilson is great choice and could get the job done . Wilson played in the cold weather. As long as Wilson stays healthy then he can lead Steelers to bjg Wins.
As a 9’ers fan, I was convinced Russ was a top 3 QB in the league. He was so hard to beat in SEA, especially in the playoffs. Now he’s getting cut. Either Pete Carol is a genius or we are witnessing one of the fastest declines in sports history. 🤷
Russ isn't an item at the grocery store. You can't just call his agent and tell him he's on your team now. He and his representation have to agree to a team's proposal (and vice versa). I can't wait to hear what Wilson's agent demands. There will have to be some concessions.
No thank you. Kenny deserves another opportunity. These “fans” ready to switch ain’t loyal for sh*t, gotta support our homegrown players on their ups and downs. We haven’t seen him post Canada besides one game and it was legit.
I think Russ is a good player to come in, take the reins for a bit, and groom KP to take the spot when he’s ready. It’s been shiwn that Kenny has the talent to get the job done but he’s just not quite ready to be in that spot. Russ can really show him how to play consistently at the NFL level. He may not have played up to his standard in Denver but he is known for not turning the ball over which has been pickett’s biggest issue so far
You imagine browns give up 230 million dollars for a quarterback who hasn’t played a full season in four years and has looked terrible when he has, then the Steelers only having to give up a couple million for someone who could already be arguably better lmfao
I wished for Jacob’s and jones , but if cap is the issue please Guttie make this work.. I know injuries and age is the deciding factors but I wish we had some player to be a Retiree with the team. I miss the old days where u had someone retire with the team.?
@@StonedColdSteveAustin316 The BRONCOS were only blown out of two games the Dolphins and Lions, all the other games were all close victories and losses. The Patriots game even went into over time, and Wilson did not play in the last two games… Now compare Wilson’s stats to Mahomes, Hurts, Stroud, Stafford, and Jackson… Curious; how do you have “Garbo time stats” in close games and overtime… 🤔

If someone will build a team around HIM, I think he's a top 10 quarterback. His numbers were top 10 for a coach and team who DIDN'T do him any favors.
Agreed. Payton's play calling was predictable and lame. The almost felt like a sabotage on Wilson.
Russ a one read out of shape has been. Payton rather have Jamies
Steelers would be the perfect situation for Wilson.
Russ isn’t that good anymore. He’s washed. But, Pickett is pathetic so still a fringe playoff team with ZERO hope of a superbowl win with either QB
The 49ers or the Steelers are the only teams that make sense for Russell Wilson to go to if he wants to win a championship or compete quickly

2:50 maybe unintentional but Pat buried Deshaun Watson. 😂
This hits different on sunday night 😂😂
Great job PAT,keep up the good work you deserve it.
As a Browns fan, i am PRAYING for either Russ or Kenny Pickett to be their starter
Man we gotta ride with Rudolph. Let's get it.
That’s what I’m trying to tell people on here. Even if Kenny turns out to be a true bust this year early on we still have Rudolph and he’s very underrated.
Could be a good fit...definitely a better option than KP for sure. Maybe grab another downfield weapon and a few more pjeces on the OL and that offense could be sneaky good.
That's a great fit for both parties.
Sean Payton is an overrated coach
Bountygate coach is trash Brees made that vampire looking 🤡
Highly overrated. He and another current coach have roughly the same tenure in the league, similar win-loss records, a whole bunch of playoff flameouts, and just one Super Bowl appearance each despite many seasons with a future Hall of Fame quarterback. For all intents and purposes, Sean Payton is Mike McCarthy.
Not very many quarterbacks have played for rival teams, Russell Wilson played for Seattle and then Denver of course but now he's signed a one-year deal with Pittsburgh. So he's been on both sides of a Pittsburgh Seattle rivalry I never thought I would see him in Pittsburgh and I'm stoked about it that's actually I just hope it works
Derek Henry just bought his house in Dallas. Done deal
I hope he goes to the steelers they play the broncos this year i hope he rubs it in sean paytons face
If Broncos have to pay him for two years - and you don't have to - no brainer
Maxx Crosby 2024 DPOY!!!
I knew it. I hate it
Most of those stats came in garbage time. He’s decent but that’s all he is now.
I really think Russ in PIT could be like Manning in DEN
I like the move, if it happens… he threw more TD’s last year then they have in the last two???? Come on.. it’s an upgrade for sure
Pickett is ass. Pittsburgh should get Russ and draft Jordan Travis from FSU to sit for one year under Russ.
Signing Wilson isn't giving up on Pickett. Wilson a good QB to learn from and remember, Rodgers sat 3 years behind Favre before starting. Ah, the gears are turning now. 🤘😎
Let’s get it!!!! Steelers Nation!!!!
I think it's a blind spot to not think of Russ' lack of confidence and fear of failure in his next gig...impacting his decision to play again.
I believe Kenny Pickett will learn a lot and develop under Wilson for a season or two and they may even win a Playoff game or two
He’s a 1,000 percent upgrade over their entire QB room and over other free agent options.
Kyle Shanahan and John Lynch are very thankful for Denver's bone-head moves too! They also paid a heavy price to pick Tray Lance!
Wish the fans good luck.
LETS HIDE!
For any Steelers fans gaslighting each other into saying “Russ is the answer”
Last year Russ threw 62% of his passes behind 5 yards and 27% of his passes behind the line of scrimmage. So 89% of his passes were check downs or screens.
these broncos highlights are me reliving my madden 20 seasons all over again lmfao. go deep to sutton baby 3 and out or TD
I'm down with Russell Wilson he is a proven QB but for at least 3 million only so we can go get S Jamal Adams for 6 million, DB Tre White for 7 million and C Mitch Morse for 6 million 😂 that's my dream scenario lol.
Ichiro was the GOAT ❤
“Was the GOAT”? I don’t think you know what GOAT means….
No rings😂
@@louischase994 Means literally nothing when talking about baseball greats you casual hahaha
@@revolution55125 all about the rings
All time great player but not the goat
This is a win-win for both sides. Even if Wilson doesn’t win the starting job, the amount of knowledge he can pass down to Pickett is invaluable.
He can take a small deal with that weird situation in Denver to.
I think Pittsburgh is only required to pay him the veterans minimum of $915,000 and then Denver pays the rest.
@@jacobsims8307 Yeah, when hell freezes over.
@@Stinkinbadgez Broncos have to pay him that money minus what deal he takes with a new team, so unless he was offered a +2 year deal worth more than Denver’s offer, it makes sense to accept a small deal from a different organization for his success, team benefit, and flipping a bird to Denver.
@@jacobsims8307 I was referring to Denver offering him a small deal. Which would never ever happen.
As a Ravens fan I'd love to see the Steelers bring in the next trainwreck at qb with Russ.
The ravens havnt done anything with Jackson
He was totally a diva and pretty funny to watch but he didn't really play that badly if you take the massive salary out of the equation. The broncos cut him because it was pay him 80 or pay him 125. Clearly you just cut bait and move on. The Steelers tho, if they can get him for two years 5 milly plus some incentives if he is a baller, have another solid draft this year they are set up for a super bowl in 2025 with cheap Russ who's trying to get a deal like flaco in 2012. Seems like a good move for the Steelers or the falcons or the Vikings too really.
Why don't you worry about Jackson’s “choke job” performance in the playoffs?....
You do know Kenny Pickett is 2-0 vs the Ravens and that’s a better win % then Jackson does against the Steelers 😂
As a Pittsburgh fan, I think we need a vet QB for another year or 2 to help devotion Pickett
Ever love someone who doesn’t love you back? That’s what it feels like to be a Steelers fan
I wouldn’t let Russ wash my car LOL
Seeing that he is not a car detailer, that just makes sense. He probably would not do a good job.
Not kenny
Well he’s worth millions so I doubt he’s ever washed a car in his life
Payton has to have a QB that's super quick in reading defenses and going through their progressions in the system he runs. Brees spoiled him in NO because the dude has a computer between his ears.
Steelers fan for life here.....I've gone through the motions with Russ from liked him, to hated him, confused by him, now hoping the future holds "Love him! That's my QB" hope it happens seems like a great fit.
Broncos lifer, and this is with no remorse or malice. Please don’t get your hopes up. I enjoy steelers fans and their passion/fandom. Head on a swivel brother 🫡
So did you want Ben gone two years before he retired? 😂 if not then you’re not a true Steelers fan
@@imanoldurango8213 bro, all you're doing is hating 😆. You're commenting on everyone just laughing. It's wild you're that much of a hater.
As diehard Steelers fan, the Steelers need a QB to compete in the AFC. If they could afford Kirk Cousins that’s the best option. Wilson is great choice and could get the job done . Wilson played in the cold weather. As long as Wilson stays healthy then he can lead Steelers to bjg Wins.
As a 9’ers fan, I was convinced Russ was a top 3 QB in the league. He was so hard to beat in SEA, especially in the playoffs. Now he’s getting cut. Either Pete Carol is a genius or we are witnessing one of the fastest declines in sports history. 🤷
Russell is used to playing with a great defense. Meaning he isn't leaned on too much. With a good running game. This team could win it all.
I think this would be an amazing fit and actually good for Kenny. He can sit a year or 2 and learn. He's not terrible but he needs work
Russ was throwing to bums last season
Russ isn't an item at the grocery store. You can't just call his agent and tell him he's on your team now. He and his representation have to agree to a team's proposal (and vice versa). I can't wait to hear what Wilson's agent demands. There will have to be some concessions.
Weren’t the Steelers talking to Pete Carroll as well.
Atl needs to drop back with at least 5/6 qbs in the 1,2 rounds get better on the lines.
Hell NO! Jerry is spelled with a damn J. We are not the same.
No thank you. Kenny deserves another opportunity. These “fans” ready to switch ain’t loyal for sh*t, gotta support our homegrown players on their ups and downs. We haven’t seen him post Canada besides one game and it was legit.
If you have a good lockeroom, that can deal with his weirdness, he can be a winning qb for sure. I think steelers is a great fit.
His name is Gerrard, hence Gerry with a G
Steelers Country, let's smelt
I think Russ is a good player to come in, take the reins for a bit, and groom KP to take the spot when he’s ready. It’s been shiwn that Kenny has the talent to get the job done but he’s just not quite ready to be in that spot. Russ can really show him how to play consistently at the NFL level. He may not have played up to his standard in Denver but he is known for not turning the ball over which has been pickett’s biggest issue so far
Wilson will do good , I dunno about Cousins Achilles , I hope he’s ok , if he is he will do great
Bruh if we get Russ we doing something!! Tender any offer fellas because he beats Josh allenem!
You imagine browns give up 230 million dollars for a quarterback who hasn’t played a full season in four years and has looked terrible when he has, then the Steelers only having to give up a couple million for someone who could already be arguably better lmfao
I wished for Jacob’s and jones , but if cap is the issue please Guttie make this work.. I know injuries and age is the deciding factors but I wish we had some player to be a Retiree with the team. I miss the old days where u had someone retire with the team.?
Ocho cinco leaked the script last month saying Wilson is going to Steelers and Justin Fields going to Atlanta
R. Wilson -- Pittsburgh are a perfect fit!
QB 1 Russ and QB 3 Pickett. Love it for the price.
Post Gazette is still on strike 😢
Don’t you put this evil on me ricky bobby. Stick with the Pickler
Gerold
And look at that it happened!!!!
Pittsburgh or LV.
"spells jerry with a G" my man no thank you
Russell Wilson has 26 passing touchdowns and 3 rushing. That’s 29 Touchdowns he accounts for…
Unless you’re Denver, how do you NOT like that…
🤔
Garbo time stats
@@StonedColdSteveAustin316 The BRONCOS were only blown out of two games the Dolphins and Lions, all the other games were all close victories and losses. The Patriots game even went into over time, and Wilson did not play in the last two games… Now compare Wilson’s stats to Mahomes, Hurts, Stroud, Stafford, and Jackson…
Curious; how do you have “Garbo time stats” in close games and overtime…
🤔
Steelers get Wilson and the Broncos pay him. Sounds like a good deal to me.
Please script writers keep Russ away from Minnesota!
