The Pittsburgh Steelers Are GENIUS.

[@brothergrimaldus3836]

They didn't "bench" Justin Fields. The starter was Wilson, who was injured.

Garoppolo stepping in for Brady in 2016-type moment.

You get it .....

[@mikeakey3358]

I don't understand how people don't understand this... Tomlin has said it in all his weekly pressers

[@itsaalvin]

I dont get the confusion with the qb situation, Justin will be the guy for the future of the steelers, he needs to unlearn what he has from the bears and rebuild himself. Like lamar, he needs to sit behind a vet and learn. He already has tons of starting experience so he should develop faster.

[@Henlarious]

Fields was literally dumped by the Bears for a 6th round pick. He won only 30% of his games in Chicago. He’s not that good.

[@camdenjames8351]

@@Henlariousyeah when you go to chicago of all places that doesn’t have a capable team and go through multiple offensive coordinators and head coaches in 3 years yeah you can get a lil worse. they let him go for a 6th because they just wanted him to go somewhere that was a good situation for him. being behind a super bowl qb will make him relearn everything chicago made him lose

[@Kogwah]

Personally, at this stage, I hope Fields is humble enough to say “I’ll play under Russ until I win the job even if that takes 2 years”

[@cell85043]

I love Wilson and he had a great szn last yr, but guys it was one game against the jets.

[@The509sfinest]

<a href="#" class="seekto" data-time="455">7:35</a> Russel Wilson is a franchise qb goof

[@bobwhite2]

They know how to identify good players. But picking the better QB between Russ and Justin isn’t genius.

[@justz6349]

I have faith in Russel Wilson but it’s been ONE GAME guys calm down 😭

[@Keefer24]

That’s what happens when you haven’t seen great QB play for years. First time that offense looked functional in two years lol

Forgot about Mason Rudolph key backup quarterback in this storyline 😅😂😢

[@JamesHardy-yi1ph]

Steelers will probably end up drafting a guy. Won't be a 1st rounder, maybe not even 2nd rounder. But 3rd-4th round seems like a good spot to pick. Probably a decent year to considering QB stock is low in the draft. Kind of like it was when we snatched Pickett in 2022, lol. I wouldn't be surprised to see a guy like Carson Beck or Quinn Ewers available in the 3rd. Raiders and possibly Browns will be the only teams looking for QB and we know it's basically Shedeur or Cam Ward, no one else in the 1st. Grabbing a guy like Beck or Ewers to compete with Fields will keep him on his heels. He's be expected to win the job, but the point is to make him not feel comfortable like he would if only Kyle Allen was on the team. There's also a flip side to this scenario where we keep Russell for another year or 2 if he keeps playing at a high level. There's a lot of free agent QBs that will be available in 2025, so letting Fields walk isn't exactly an issue when guys like Sam Darnold, Zach Wilson, Jacoby Brissett, Marcus Mariota, and Andy Dalton will be available. We could also probably trade for a guy like Bryce Young or Will Levis. Any of the guys could serve Justin's current role as backup to Wilson.

[@Ducknbabobbol]

Agreed

[@plaubelmakina8916]

Pick up aWR1 Now

[@recs8564]

Pickens is a true WR1 with Russ under center

[@lethalinjection2031]

Learn the name Pickens

[@JahWontPayTheBill]

The Steelers are extremely consistent when it comes to drafting talent at WR. They have been for decades. Just look at some of the names they’ve drafted since the early 70’s. It’s crazy how many incredible WRs they’ve found. A trade would be pointless. They’d have to give something away to pick up anyone. It’s not gonna happen. They’ll roll with what they have and pick up a guy in the draft. That’s how the Steelers operate.

[@jimmorrison9287]

​@@recs8564He is.but we still need another receiver

[@MikeisHim18]

Ngl is Justin Fields a bad Qb at all idk?

[@huanweili7699]

Only if the steelers traded for Adam. Wilson would be MVP.

[@jimmorrison9287]

I think the steelers tried to get adams, but adams wanted to play for rodgers really bad so the steelers didn't have a chance.

[@nene1964]

Let me remind the doubters. The Steelers are only paying Russell Wilson $1 million. $1 freakin million lol , it’s a no brainer that they should use him. And if that doesn’t work, JF can always fill in. With a great running back, offensive line and defense. Steelers literally have no weaknesses. They are a real contender to SB, and I’m not a steelers fan lol

[@one80srocker89]

They aren’t a SB contender. If Fields plays then they don’t have a passing game. No passing game means the D stacks the line. Wilson makes them a team that can compete against the top tier teams so as long as we continue to see much of what we saw when the offense opened up against the Jets. But this team is one Russell Wilson injury away from going back to not being able to pick up 1st downs. It is clear the offensive philosophy is about playing scared. Wilson gets to do more of what he wants. T should make for at least a more interesting 2nd half the season and make this team a playoff contender beyond just a wild card. But they still have a steep hill to climb as many division games are coming up and fortunately they tend to do well inside the division. But until they win a playoff game, I wouldn’t put them in the SB category. And they did say they brought Wilson so they. Could “win a playoff game.”

[@hwelsh201]

It’s still just a plan to stay in the NFL middle class, 9-10 wins, first round exit…yay I guess?

[@The509sfinest]

Na. Steelers will win a playoff game. They will

[@dabur74]

Russ is perfect for us.

[@snowman9642]

They beat the Jets in turmoil. Calm down.

[@JahWontPayTheBill]

Those Jets had a defense that was number two in total. That unit ain’t no pushover. Russ came off injury and threw for 260 yards and 2 TDs. No picks either. They haven’t scored that many points in a single game since they put 37 on the Chargers in November of 2021. That’s pretty good. That’s certainly worth being excited about. We’re already seven weeks into the season. In that time, the Steelers have shown consistent improvement and are becoming a threat in the AFC. They have a pretty good chance to win the North this year. Maybe even get that elusive playoff win and have a nice base of confidence going into next year. So far, Tomlin has handled this “rebuild” that started when Ben retired pretty darn well. It won’t be long at all before we’re seeing the Steelers become true contenders again.

[@snowman9642]

@@JahWontPayTheBill Steelers are a good team, but Russ was not the reason. Jets are a team in shambles right now for obvious reasons.

[@shinski8114]

when the steelers win its oh... the other team was bad even tho they were favored the jets have aaron rodgers, davante adams, garrett wilson and breece hall ALL ON THE SAME OFFENSE then they're ddefense before that game was top 10 but yeah the jets are just a bad team with no talent.
