Eich replied to a thread Justin Fields-- Uh Oh... in Steelers Talk

Possibly true. And if so, that should give Tomlin the time to focus on the defense and to T.Ferguson's point... keep the other team under 40 points...

Our ability to win a playoff game this season depends heavily on Wilson playing some of his best recent football and staying healthy. Otherwise, I...

Agree on the improvement. Hopefully he'll have more talent to work with this year. That remains to be seen on the WR front. Disagree. ...

I have to agree with this. When Kenny was seemingly allowed to use the middle of the field he didn't just fall apart with turnovers. I think the...

I'm not sure we'll even scratch off the numbers to see if we hit the lottery. I'd guess that Fields will sit most of 2024 behind Wilson. And then...

I'm a bit torn on that. I'd like to see what we have too. BUT, Fields starting, means that Wilson isn't working out. I'm really hoping that Wilson...

Agreed. Ben was a version of that. Great as a passer. Great toughness/size to escape & just mobile enough to extend plays. But not a runner at...

Not sure why Tomlin has been on record saying he wants a mobile QB, unless he just means someone who's not a statue. It's not like our own defense...

Not unlike Ben. But Ben would always come through with an amazing pass after holding on to the ball forever.
