If you really think Russ was so bad he was worth paying 85 million too without him on your team, then I don't know what to tell you. Have you seen a real garbage QB? If not, look at Kenny Pickett or Zach Wilson stats. Broncos caved in to an egomaniac in Sean Payton because he Jeff Fisher with one superbowl win.

it's just my opinion breh. Pittsburgh been ass for 4-5 years. They should've been nuked the franchise and started over. They could've drafted a couple QBs by now :yeshrug:

Season saving move. Pickett + arthur smith was gonna be a disaster

With that said, I hate this team. 2 explosive WRs, a potential top 5 TE, yet they play like they’re stuck in the 90s….so they sign mfin Arthur smith. People forgetting that he was the OC for all those Titans teams who inexplicably won games. Now he’s with the Steelers who inexplicably win games. The most mid of mid teams

Time out, Y'all signed ARTHUR SMITH at OC? :dahell:

After the whole entire bullshyt with Atlanta? Maaannn he had that whole offense held hostage

Would u prefer he behaves like Sherman?
I would prefer he had some Negras on his team hell, he could've atleast went with Wiz "We Dem Boyz" 🤦🏿‍♂️Like I said I'm rooting for the breh, because CACS get plenty opportunities in the league while Brehs are damn near one and done.

I see Justin Fields going to the Raiders. Only because them nikkas got no other options.

Don’t forget the draft. Fields path to being a starter is more narrow than people think

Not counting what we assume will be QBs going 1-3, the consensus is there are 2, possibly 3 starting level QBs. Penix, Nix, and to a lesser extent Rattler. Then let’s assume Cousins goes to Atlanta

So jobs that Fields would come in and start no question: Raiders, Broncos, Vikings. I’m not even including the Giants bc Daniel jones could beat him out

Penix and Nix will be drafted by 2 of those teams. Then, based on what I’m hearing about rattler, teams probably value him for free in the 3rd instead of giving up a third for fields (a team who’d let him sit like NY, or Seattle)

Then factor in that the remaining teams may not want fields. The league is split on him. So yea it could get shaky. Could end up a backup somewhere like Seattle or Jets

Edit: forgot about McCarthy. He’s going round 1 too

you asked, im answering :yeshrug:

Russ gonna be out the league in the next 2-3 years so for some teams, they might as well start the young guy

The young guy prob ain't it though. This is basically the Steelers doing what the Seahawks have done with Geno. The roster is good enough to win now, so you ride with the vet and then in a few years when it's time to pivot to a young QB, you have the pieces in place to make his job easier.

As a Steelers Stan I applaud this move

Russ is not the Russ of old but he is a more than serviceable qb. That’s all we need. Somebody who can reliably hit open receivers

We have not had that in years. Pickett is sadly just not it. Mason came in the last few games and did what Kenny had not done in 2 years.

In a division that is QB loaded we can’t keep relying on our defense to pull rabbits out of their asses week in week out.

Yeah Ryan Poles fukked this up. Tried to play the whole "We don't know what we doing at QB yet" card, when the intel was out there. I am sure he turned down good deals to try and get a better deal, now it will bite him in the ass. The loser here though is Fields because he gonna be a backup somewhere now because he gonna go for the low.

I think it was legit. I watch Chris Simms he gives good insight. He said that scouts don’t really pour into all the tape until after the college season and around combine time. So I think the narrative of Caleb regressing and ‘imagine all you can build around Fields’ was a legit possibility ….until they watched the tape. That quickly shut rhat down and he is still very much an all time prospect.

But….they let that doubt linger just enough to where now everyone knows they gotta trade fields

What you thinking we gonna do with JF breh?
things should become more clear when Kirk makes his decision tomorrow

regardless, I think they trade him this week - it just might be less than originally expected

Fields is fukked. His tape must be bad plus nobody wants to have to pay him

He’s about to get the baker/geno treamwnt sit n watch behind a legit starter

Bears will be lucky to get a 3rd for him
it’s becoming a tough situation esp if ATL lands Kirk

I hope he does good with them...:ehh: IMO he should personally retire before all of this regardless because he's setting himself up for failure and big injury but hey...:manny:
