Boy does the eBay motors ad give me cancer
It's not a bad read but man it goes on too long. It feels like when I'm watching TV at night in a hotel and wonder why a commercial is on so long before realizing the program changed to an infomercial
The old saying is if you have two starting QB's, you have none.
Yep, similar to what my Raiders are going through. Two mediocre quarterbacks.
@@devinsmith4862Not quite the same.
We didn't have none last year 😤
@@jackbryan4676 Kind of similar. Justin Fields isn't a starter either. He's just a fast running guy who would make a terrible back-up, so people like talking about him being starter.
@@jackbryan4676 Russ and fields are just as bad as Minshew and O’Connell. What’s the difference? Everyone sucks in this equation.
Ready to see Russ play in an environment that is better. I think this is a perfect fit and I think it’s the best solution for their team right now. I don’t see Fields getting the job any time soon. Their roster is good. Russ is going to do well there
thats hilarious! I'm telling you right now the Steelers are going to win playoff games this year! With Russel Wilson! Go Steelers!
lmao
I feel bad for you if you really believe that
delusion at its finest
You are BEST football channel bra. Like Nightcap & Chris Simms too 😊
They don’t hold clipboards anymore. Now they hold the Microsoft surface tablet.
Nope. I heard they won't allow Fields to have a Surface Pro since they fear he will fumble it and crack the screen.
If his rookie deal isn't nearly up and Chi didn't have top pick he's still in Soldier Field. And they'd be biting nails seeing if he can unload ball faster. It's not impossible he won't. Pitt has an interesting situation despite a brutal on paper schedule. Anybody that says he was terrible is flawed in thinking. But he does have to see his options quicker. Relax on the guy. Allow yourselves to be pleasantly surprised.
It be really interesting to see what the jets would do if when both sauce and Wilson’s contracts are up and they both wanna leave which one they prioritize and tag
I will never, ever understand why you’re so high on a quarterback who’s done nothing but suck and so down on a quarterback who got thrown under the bus after an objectively solid season.
He’s not high on Fields. He’s just not a fan of Russell Wilson and so now he is propping up Fields even though during the season he was down on him as many were.
@@Thepessimest: That’s stupid. There’s no reason to not be high on Russ.
*Justin Fields’s Career Stats*
Pass attempts: 958
Pass completions: 578
Completion%: 60.3%
TD-INT: 40-30
Passing yards: 6,674
Passer rating: 82.3
*Rushing yards: 2,220*
*Rushing TDs: 14*
*Russ’s average over a 3-year period (based on his career statistics)*

Passing yards: 10,913
Passer rating: 100.0
Rushing yards: 1,327
Rushing TDs: 7
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!
*Russ’s Career Statistics*
Pass attempts: 5,665
Pass completions: 3,668
Completion%: 64.7%
TD-INT: 334-106
Passing yards: 43,653
Passer rating: 100.0
Rushing yards: 5,307
Rushing TDs: 29
*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 dwarf Fields’s even more, and that would include two injury years in Seattle (2016 and 2021) that produced outlier statistics.
Promises are made to be broken... Everyone knows that. Why would we think the NFL would be any different...
People really believe Caleb Williams will just come in and start winning, I don’t think so. They did do more for Caleb then Justin and that’s nuts. They are already saying he’s had a tough day at minicamp. Sometimes it takes time, Justin was not awful, he just wasn’t great, he needed more time.
If the Browns can come out of Dysfunction (last 4 years) (2 playoff appearances) the Jets should be able to.
True
Sure Fields won't be holding a clipboard, punt returners don't hold clipboards! The guy cannot play QB at the NFL level. Hey why didn't the Bears do anything to "fix" their O line? Why didn't they draft an O linemen instead of a WR3 at number 9? Because the problem wasn't the offensive line, it was Fields.
Lmaooooo
OR and hear me out, the bears have been a terrible franchise for decads and dont know how to fix their burning trash heap
The market told you what Fields was worth...not much as it turns out.
I think Fields was def a big part of the problem, but citing the Bears decision making as evidence Fields is bad is hilarious. It's the Bears.
More hate drivel.
"Tomlin's word means next to nothing"???? He is widely respected. He said exactly what Russ can count on: having "the pole position", which perfectly says he starts off in Pittsburgh in the best position to win, but may not win the QB1 job, by the very metaphor he used.
Nahhh their going Russ to start if it goes really bad then Fields will get in otherwise it’s just a story to make news/conversations
All the Steeler podcasts have gone immediately to the Wilson vs.Fields topic because that discussion will garner excitement, division, and drama, which does make cash. I haven't seen a Steelers' podcast yet that breaks down both Wilson's and Field's last two years of QB tape. That would clearly show why both were discarded and available at such a low value. That, to me, isn't being completely transparent for the shake of selling either hope for cash or to sow emotional division for profit.
no firing tomlin
11:03
Pretty funny that none of those jobs are at will employees 😂
can you imagine cutting down the jets because they have players not practicing in May? Jesus man...do better.
Justin Fields will not start week 1 even if he is better. I wish I could bet you on this J. Middlekauff since you are so confident. Coach Tomlin is not a dummy. I won't even discuss it b/c it's so basic, but, no, that won't happen.
It took them 3 years to fire Fields.
I have already dismissed him. Oops
14:40 ayyyoo!! Why’d we have to know you think Robert Salah is a good looking bald guy?😂
John love your podcasts
My guy! Russ doesn’t need any promises. He’s going to take the decision out of the coaches’ hands, just like he did every year in Seattle, and like he did in his final year in Denver.
Justin Fields is busy making declarations to the media Russ is busy grinding…pitting in work! He will have that entire playbook memorized within a month, just like he did when the Seahawks drafted him and like he had to do with Brian Schottenheimer, Shane Waldron, and even Nathaniel Hackett.
Fields can’t do that! Fields doesn’t have Russ’s all-around playmaking ability, arm talent, or 4th quarter moxie.
Based Aaron Rodgers is by far the most interesting man in professional sports. God bless him
Well I think the bears are losing franchise for a really long time. Bad leadership can’t find a true franchise qb with a championship level front office… maybe the bears were the problem that place is terrible. Caleb Williams will be better because so many assets were used this time to ensure success… that being said he is not very good but is so athletic he could be dangerous
Steelers might be screwed royalty at qb if Russell Wilson is crappy & Fields is his Chicago Bears quarterbacking. Next draft Steelers will probably starting over at QB
I think Tomlin will be Chicago HC next year. Bears and Steelers both under .500. Bears want a great coach for their new prize QB.
Naw the oc in Houston or Ben Johnson will be bears coach next year. Unless Bears go playoffs
Steelers not going under 500 lmao
@@carlito_148 both unproven HC candidate coordinators who didn’t get a job this offseason.
@@Zouno2001 That’s a 4th place team in their own division in 2024.
@@noidboi154 haven’t finished 4th since 1988. So it’s not gonna happen. Same shit for the past 3 years like bro let it go they not a 4th place team 😂. They finishing 2nd or 3rd
Justin Fields had VERY poor receiver help and when drafted had shit for an O-line. Last year the O-line was better plus he had DJ to go along with Kmet. He NEVER had a good running game, so what exactly was he working with???
This time the Bears are bringing in Caleb behind a good young O-line and have shit tons of weapons at his disposal.
The point is, Fields never got a fair shake to improve because he had nothing to work with. And let’s not forget, he never had consistency from a coaching standpoint which only made the impossible even more impossible.
Just saying!!!
We know what Russ is... Dinks and dunks..... What? Dude is willing to take sacks because he wants to air the ball out. The reason he is in Pittsburgh is because he is not a short range passing QB. Which is what Sean Payton likes.
How nuts is it to think Florida is going to get they're reputation straight by hiring Lane Kiffin.🤔😆 Possibly. Huh! Oh how things change in life. Possibly. 💯🇺🇸
Omg! Matt ryan is legendary?! all this time 🙄... i feel like such a fool- 😳
A lot of ppl sound bitter. How dare someone think a person can improve and be better. As if that’s never happened. It’s so many experts out there nowadays.
Who is more likely to improve, Fields or Russ? My money is on Russ! He was already a proven elite QB who just wound up in a lousy situation that made him look bad. He developed some bad habits but he’s a very cerebral player.
Fields hasn’t learned or improved on much over the past three years.
Fields is competing with Russ. Russ is competing with himself (or Mahomes and Rodgers!).
Fields is playing for a starting spot and a bag. Russ is playing for his legacy!
Justin is QB2, and it’s going to stay that way.
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 Fields 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.

@@DeCurtaRican you really think I'm going to read all this? What a waste of your time. I said what I said and I'm standing by it. You can feel how you feel I don't care one way or the other.
Don't be Silly, Rogers career doesn't end - He will simply join the Vikings:)
Arizona State should be suing Jaden Rashada because he sucked last year.
The Steelers are going to lead the NFL in 3 and outs. Feilds can't throw. Wilson can't run an offense. Wilson will have 26-10 and it will look good, but the offense will struggle to move the ball just like every team he's played for. He'll make a few big plays like he has his whole career because he holds the ball all day looking for it. Russ would be a good backup now. He won't kill you if he had to play. But he's not winning you anything now either. Fields, who knows. He's played a lot and has shown he is clueless at throwing the football to this point in his career.
This guy has not said many good things about Russ. I think he even predicted no team would want him if Denver released him. So time will tell on this move but he won’t give credit even if Russ plays well
Exactly. Ppl like this will only move the goalposts. Russ could literally win a Super Bowl and he would say Russ was just carried
Watched the Pacers vs Celtics game last night and it made me realize how laughable John's takes on basketball are.
Jaylen Brown doesnt deserve his money? GTFOH 😂.
Now, if you said Tatum was an overrated corny ahh ninja who should stop texifng a dead Kobe and concentrate on being clutch? Sure. I'd agree.
I’m grateful for Sean Peyton getting rid of RW nobody else would’ve done it. Now I’m excited to look forward with Bo Nix and future talent.
Y’all are in a way worse position than last year😂 winning 6 games if you’re lucky….
I’m sure bo nix can’t Wait to see Max Crosby.
Lol can't wait for you guys to turn on Sean hahaha
I don't trust Mike Tomlin to make the right decision and start Justin Fields over Russ. Dude is Stevie Wonder when it comes to evaluating QBs. Dude said that he started Trubisky last year because he had experience being a franchise QB 😭😭.
So sick of the Fields talk. He’s NOT an accurate QB. This has been proven already over 3 yrs and opposing defenses know how to stop him. There’s a reason he got traded. He isnt taking over for Russ and anybody who thinks that just doesnt know football
Fields is an awful QB….he’s fun and super athletic but actively stinks when it comes to playing the position. Russ is small and limited at this stage but can execute basic offense and represents a major upgrade over recent Steelers QBs. Neither player is the answer long term and neither is perfect in the short term. Pick your poison. Most fans will favor Fields because of athletic ability and delusion about what he can become. Personally I’d go Fields as well provided Smith designs an offense around his skills and limitations. It’s going to be about running the ball anyway.
Glad my Raiders realized that
Yeah agree. Really over hearing how great he is and it's everyone else fault
Everyone knows Fields stinks except, Fields.
Games are won and lost in the 4th quarter. Good QBs beat teams with passing.from the pocket in the 4th. Wilson can do this, Fields can't. Wilson 4th qrt passer rating of 103. Fields 53, trailing with less than 4 mins to go in the 4th Wilson 92 Fields 22. When the game is on the line and you can't run in the 4th, Fields takes sacks and can't pass. Leading 4 mins to go. Wilson passer rating of 104. Fields 58. When Fields has the lead in the 4th he can't pass, and can't lead a comeback when behind. Hence the 10 wins in 3 years. And you want Fields? 🤣🤣
He also went to the worst franchise in NFL history for a QB.
We gotta stop with this delusional thinking the Steelers are gonna have a losing season yall been saying this for the past 3 years let it go it’s not happening. Steelers are winning 11 games
I have a CHANCE to beat Mike Tyson, Tyson Fury, and every other great boxer out there. I have a CHANCE to win the lottery. I have a CHANCE to become president.
Fields has about as much chance of becoming the franchise QB over Russ as I do of doing any one of those things. Russ is a superior QB. You need to treat Russ like the 2017-2020 Seattle Russ, because that’s who is in the Steelers camp right now. There’s no way Fields is beating out Russ, and that’s okay. He’s young.
Both QBs are complete trash! Both of them lead to failure, its pick your poison. It's a failure for the steelers. They will be a 7 to 8 win team and pick around 15 plus in the draft and miss out on a top 3 QB pick. It's gonna set the franchise back another 5 years at minimum. It also leads to the end of Tomlin.
Did you lose common sense when you took your hat off? Justin Fields sucks and Russel Wilson is washed up. Seattle punked Denver, HARD. Seattle wasn't in ANY mood to keep Wilson for the reason we're ALL seeing now. Fields had three years, THREE years of chances, excuses, media hype, blame games and lies, none of which would have been given if he was some white guy. Now the news is coming out about the 'behind the scenes' behavior that help Fields convince the Bears to dump him.
Do a side by side comparison of Mitch Trubisky and Justin Fields career stats and recall how mean everyone was to Trubisky, if you can't see it after that, no one can help you.
