Russ was named the starter at the beginning of the season, now he’s healthy and available to play. Where’s the controversy?

Also Russell was voted Team Captain of the Offense by his teammates as well before the season.

If TJ Watt stays healthy, Russ is about to win a Super Bowl with the Steelers. They still have time to add a piece (tight end, running back or pass rusher) and Roman Wilson will be a good weapon for them later in the season

one thing ima say is russ is definitely still talented and can play wish more success with him going forward go steelers

[@Skylewis2_]

I don’t know why this is even a conversation still. Coach T named Russ the starter before the season kicked off he got hurt then Justin had to step in. Russ in now healthy HE IS THE STARTER stop having this debate we clearly seen what Justin can do for us and he is a great player but he still needs to see the field and go through all of his reads. Russ is a veteran Super Bowl QB we know he is the starter

[@CSwivel]

[@JoseGuzman-ne3pk]

They should play them together like the saints plays with Tayson hill trick the defense and make special plays without turnovers.

[@bulufish8208]

Has Kimberly ever played football in her life 🤔.

[@mikem4481]

[@ImChris4]

Why did Fields lose the job to begin with? Weren't they 4-2 when Fields was starting?

[@brandyc3559]

Fields was always the backup. Was never announced by Tomlin as the starter and depth chart always showed him as QB 2.

[@03Man11]

Because it was never his job to begin with. He was a placeholder.

[@THG-3141]

Because Tomlin is desperate and really wants to look like the smartest guy in the room. When, if he actually was, he would have won something without Bill Cower's players by now. He's barely better than Coach Clap (Jason Garrett) but everyone wants to treat him like royalty because he won once 17 years ago. Ironically, it was about that long ago that Russ won anything meaningful too. And it took the Legion of Boom and Marshawn Lynch carrying him to accomplish it. We all know what happened when they put it in his hands next time

[@yousocrazycurlystooge7640]

​@THG-3141 and what has Fields won? What has he accomplished? You mad and pouting but it's ok

[@Birdshu]

​@THG-3141 luckily he has his new legion of boom. On both teams he needed them and they needed him. With that in mind the Steelers are in a position to do something great this season.

Hey, Russ been playing his game all his life. He great at it..

[@kantKillKenny]

Justin scored 10 TD in 6 games. Russ made 3 in 1. Before y'all say the QB sneak at the one doesn't count... Justin had 2 turnovers in the Dallas game and didn't do much with it. Russ had 2 chances and made something out of both times.

[@jimmymacnutrition6628]

Russ passing TDs per game: 2 Rushing TDs per game: 1. Since we now count both rushing and passing to pump up Justin. TD average per game Russ:: 3 Justin 1.6 😂.

[@jimmymacnutrition6628]

​@@barbaradee9304Not sure what game you were watching. The offense ran better than any Fields game. The difference between the two is you have to make excuses for Fields that don't hold up and then excuses for Russ for why he played great. Only 1 sack for Russ. Wasn't he supposed to get sacked a ton? Where did all these weapons come from?

[@nathancaraballo7600]

Bro we own this division they should be scared to play us. At worst we have 2 division losses.

[@anikfilm3636]

Interesting take on Tomlin’s strategy-Russ’s deep ball game gives them an edge, but could the riskier plays end up backfiring against tougher competition after the bye week?

[@03Man11]

Every QB runs that risk.

[@ronaldhargro]

Fields threw the ball down field also. Those receivers just kept dropping the ball

[@mikedavidson9163]

And soo many were called back by penalties

[@ronaldhargro]

@mikedavidson9163 Also the thing with Fields was not throwing the ball as much over the middle. I saw him do that many times also. It was the Raiders game that just stood out the most. And they still scored 37 points!

I hardly consider an underthrown moonball one-handed circus catch, a pass interference call on another long ball, a bobble, drop, and re-catch off a players helmet high level throws. Funny how nobody talks about the offense generating just two field goals in the 1st half before a brain fart INT from Rodgers over the middle of the field with a minute left. Or the two layup 1st and goal situations that were gifted by the defense lol!

@@yousocrazycurlystooge7640 Fields didn't play and what he did previous to that is irrelevant to the conversation. My take was not an endorsement of Fields.

Even Jeff Saturday said some of those throws weren't great. Feel better now?

I think everyone agrees that the first quarter and a half was a wash. Russ needed time to get his head back in the game after a very long break. I suspect that he will get better with each game. Time will tell.
