Man I’ve been saying this too! A lot of media people talk as if Pittsburgh is just always losing in the AFC North when it’s just not true. Even with a lesser team it’s still a competition. Look at Baltimore last year with the best record in the AFC and I was super confident in the Steelers to beat em as I’m sure a lot of other fans were too

That's also not what he was saying. His point was that Pittsburgh's fan base is one that will back him like almost no other, if he earns it. However, if he tanks, you will be hearing "Fire Wilson" chants from the stands of non-football games in another city, in another state for as long as it takes to get the point burnt into memory forever.

Russ had a bad year in 2021 and still posted a mediocre QBR. His past 4 seasons he's averaged 26.75TD, 9.75INT and a 97.65 QBR. His career avg: 30TD, 8.8 INT with a QBR average of 100. His demise has been greatly exaggerated.

[@gemcutter187]

Interesting!!! Maybe it's the lack of comeback wins or missing the playoffs every year 🤔

[@alexandersmith5342]

And 2.75 fumbles. I think it's lack of wins and his overall lack of awareness on the field. To be fair, I believe his demise started years ago but it wasn't until he left Seattle that it was so evident. Pittsburgh ain't getting him because he's a great QB. They're getting him because he's cheap and can potentially buy themselves some time with Kenny or getting another QB. In my opinion.

Mark Schlereth toes the Broncos' line. The Broncos picked the bad character Sean Payton over the good character Russ Wilson. So they have to trash Russ.
