[@michaelteasley366]

The Steelers are so cheap we need Justin fields

[@heirtothethrone000]

Exactly why they will never get anywhere

[@benwilson6559]

How are they cheap?

[@JoshuaAvery-gp5dm]

The Steelers O line is the problem it starts in the trenches! Its too inconsistent im sick of seeing it this enemic offense I had enough!!!

[@ManuelKimbrell]

@@JoshuaAvery-gp5dm bye go find another team to follow like anyone cares

[@RastaMaan328]

I will not be watching the Steelers next year if we resign Russ

[@Fitkid7672]

I already said I’m not watching anyway since they aren’t making coaching changes. We all know it’s gonna be the same stuff with the Steelers unfortunately.

[@facts215truth]

You'll both be watching. Cut it out

[@elmoreohly1486]

Why are you lying if they keep Russ and get him a front line they will be fine field don’t have it in him

[@oknlive3028]

@@elmoreohly1486that’s the thing yall not understanding they not fixing the line they already said it they focus on getting the defense contracts together so with that being said do u want A Qb that has no mobility or a Qb that’s has mobility…. The league is not how it use to be u not sitting in the pocket how long u want to anymore linebackers has gotten quick and fast

Clickbait, there’s nothing heated, they are having a real grown men conversation.

[@cassiusm.hudsonsr3572]

Fields without a doubt

[@pineytreez6811]

The Steelers should take care of Watt, keep Pickens, Warren, Start Fields, get rid of Najee Harris, Russell Wilson & get an Offensive Line...

[@montre6381]

Steelers o line is biggest problem

[@Gabe_the_watch_enthusiast]

Their rbs aren't that good. Najjee is so ineffective

[@ericsinclair1826]

The o line is terrible. I've been saying it all season. IDC who the quarterback is. They are not gonna be very successful with that oline. I'm not at all saying they can't do it. I am saying they haven't done it yet. Get the line fixed sign Justin Fields to a 3 year deal and find a way to draft Will Howard. Get Tee Higgins in free agency. Draft a CB in round 1. I think you can get Howard in 2nd or 3rd round. And if you're gonna get rid of GP either trade him for another talented wide receiver or a second round pick and get a receiver with the compensation.

[@chiefryback5243]

The fact that the Steelers are torn on which awful QB to pursuit tells you all you need to know about the pathetic sorry state of this broken franchise. Nobody even wants Fields or Wilson. Except the crappy Steelers. Smh

[@levonverrett6052]

Who you getting instead ?

[@chiefryback5243]

@levonverrett6052 I donr get paid to fix the Steelers QB debacle but you gotta go Draft, right?

[@levonverrett6052]

@chiefryback5243 yeah but you still have a QB to start the season and.look where they drafting that's a problem

[@Castleberry707]

The league sleeps on Justin and this shii is sad bruh. He is a hell of a player and a great locker room guy. Steelers got there QB. Coming from a bears fan

[@jesseduke203]

B.s. Russ can still play. He had nobody to throw the ball to

[@RastaMaan328]

Russ is only good in a perfect situation.. he was terrible this year, get out of the box scores 40-50 yards in the first have 0-5 to end the season. Players didn’t change from 10-3 he just throws up prayers and our WR came down with

[@ninety8grovebaby701]

He ahh bro stop it

[@nicsawmiller8059]

Your delusional. He had plenty of talent and wide open receivers all year long. He takes away your option in the offense.He falls to the ground when someone is in his face. He can't throw a middle ball because he's to short. He throws the ball away to much. Had the best team in 3 years out of the Steelers roster and did no better than Pickett. And any backup we had through those years. After 2 years when he's 38.. then what. We do it all over. Russ throws a good ball, just can't take a team to the playoffs anymore. He talks to much. He threw away our season

[@bigmoney3727]

Shit he got Pickens lol

[@Fitkid7672]

No he had a 💩 o line & horrible play calling. Russ is good in a system that has good around him. He’s not a put the ball in his own hands QB, especially at this point in his career. With how the Steelers are built rn, fields is the best option.

[@goldengrain9851]

We need Justin Fields and a masculine wide receiver Coach who can put those crybaby WRs in their place.

[@KrazyCaN347]

Why sign a 36-year-old quarterback to a three-year contract? I see the Steelers haven’t learned their lesson. Always keep holding on to older quarterbacks. Big Ben cost them down the line

[@greyyb8860]

Russ can still play and get the ball to the great players

[@ManuelKimbrell]

@@greyyb8860 you Wilson fans are pathetic he sucked 6-6 played same as in Denver fast start then fell apart when going got tough he is a LOSER

[@MeDirtyDawg]

Both Steelers tackles in total gave up 27 sacks no qb will be good if that issue isn’t settled

[@mauricemuhammad]

Finally people are talking about the real problem which is the pocket book the Steelers don't pay big money it's always on the cheap!!!

[@Kplattjr1]

Roc wit Fields! Get him some WR help. O line help. We b ok. Russ dnt use the middle of the field.

We want Justin Justin Justin. Will Tomlin make another QB mistake. I am sure he will.

[@Leo-Jacoby]

Najee Harris's value has been determined to be $27 million over 3 years, he needs to go. To me, no running back with a sub 4 yrd average is worth that. In my opinion Warren needs to be the featured back and Najee needs to go.

[@jacobgomez9021]

They would’ve been better if the O-line play was better and more consistent.

Everyone on this show is therow and sharp on their assessment on every sports topic 🙌

[@timrobinson4058]

Justin Fileds

[@streetzinfluencedentertain1284]

They see Fields talent, why is he constantly disrespected and they low ball him with his worth. If I was him I’ll go with whoever offer the most money and the starting job

[@jesseduke203]

Someone answer me at wide receiver besides Pickens who the hell russ had to throw to?

[@ManuelKimbrell]

They had #18 Mike Williams and didn't use him

[@Leo-Jacoby]

I don't see either one of these qb's the future for the Steelers. But if I could only have one, I would take Russ. I like Justin, and he can run the ball, but until he shows me he can throw the ball down the field, I'm like Stephen, I want points. Wilson goes down the field, his problem has been his slow read, and no receivers, he is not the future but he's got that beautiful rainbow pass, and it's been a long time since the Steelers have scored 44 points like they did in one game this year.

[@greyyb8860]

Why would receivers come to the Steelers if fields is the qb? You still need playmakers though, don’t let Russ get picked up by the Vikings

[@ManuelKimbrell]

Russ sucked and over rated plus over the hill I hoping another team dumb enough to take him

I’m a Russ fan but Steven and Unc are right imo.

[@ph34poker]

If russ is willing to do 20 million a year. Or 25 max it's worth it. He ain't worth 38 million a year tho. Keep in mind yall russ was in a collapsing pocket all year long. If they can get a great O line and improve there. Russ is worth 20 a year. Not 38 a year tho. At 20 a year they can build around him he needs a great o line. Nor a bad or avg one. Go look at old Tom in Tampa. He had one of the best O lines. Old men need mad protection. If they cant make O line top notch then go wit fields cuz russ can't escape a collapsing pocket consistently. On the flip side look at tom last year on the patriots he looked HORRIBLE. Everyone said he washed lol why ? He had no protection. Old QBs look horribke in a collapsing pocket. They need the most protection at old age. Give them all day with a great o line and they will thrive.

Russ last 5 losses were to the Ravens Twice, Chiefs, Eagles, and Bengles. Those Are Monster teams. Two of those teams are in Super-bowl currently. Russ is not washed up, in fact he is still in his prime. People need to stop pointing the finger at the quarterbacks so they can fix the real problems. You don’t dominate as long as Russ did, get traded, and all of a sudden u suck.
