    So, if that's the kind of expectation from Russ, why would we want to lock him up on a longer term deal? I'd rather throw fields out there and hope his ceiling is higher. Or draft someone this...

    LOL.

    But seriously, $20M/year is high end wideout money. Not high end QB money.

    And all I'm saying is that if we're going to lock up Russ on a longer-term deal, we should have some kind of...

    Teams pay QBs all the time for who they aren't. Compare Russell Wilson's stats last year to Kirk Cousins. Tell me why they are so different.

    If Russ matches those stats with the Steelers and...

    If you can't justify paying a 35 year old QB the going big-buck rate for a longer-term deal, then why would you want that guy at all for more than a year? If Russ is a proven awful investment, then...

    Like most things, the truth is between the extremes.

    Tomlin is generally a good coach. But his recent playoff record is atrocious. And sometimes, a coach can get stale (see Bill Bellichick)....

    LOL. Yeah, I'd have to think that the bargain basement deal for Wilson changed everything. Wouldn't surprise me if they spoke to Rudolph's agent with every intention of working out a deal. But...

    I'm definitely more excited about bringing in Fields than I would have been about getting Huntley from the Rats. But we've been so epically bad at evaluating and developing QB talent that it's hard...

    I think it's a very extreme minority of members that don't actually want the team to win. Like maybe 1-2 people.

    Fair enough. Especially if Kenny became more and more disgruntled.

    I'm just not on the same bandwagon (yet anyway) of those who are so excited about Fields. He's had 3 seasons to do something...

    Not sure that really qualifies for making anyone look stupid. And not sure why making people look stupid should be anyone's goal.

    We all want the Steelers to win and win the playoffs. Not sure...

    I'm mostly a Steelers homer. Not a hater. But I don't see what's so exciting about wiping out our QB room and replacing them with guys no one else really wanted. I mean, it's a nicely inexpensive...

    No trickery involved. We just took the two QBs that no one else wanted (including their former teams) and for peanuts. It's an extremely inexpensive experiment while we continue the search for the...

    Would love to know what all has gone down behind closed doors this off-season.

    We end the season with Rooney praising Rudolph and the Steelers essentially anointing Kenny as the defacto QB1 for...

    Cousins has a LEAGUE-WIDE reputation for not being able to win big games. For his entire career. Russ has won a Super Bowl and has been to two and is 9-7 in the playoffs. Cousins is 1-4.

    Hope that's not true. The Steelers are going to become known as a place to avoid.

    But if Fields out-played Wilson throughout camp/preseason, it wouldn't be a shocker to see him start over Wilson....

    I'm not sure what that means exactly, but maybe so.

    So, you're saying that the Bears are just blind and stupid in trading away superstar potential - for peanuts - at the most valued position in...

    I read lots of excuses for Fields. Lots of blame of Kenny. As if Kenny had this amazing supporting cast of coaching/o-line/wideouts and he just crumbled in the limelight.

    Definitely concerning that the only 2 QBs we have on the roster are guys that the other teams didn't want. In a league where EVERY team is desperate for a QB.

    Fields may be a slow processor. ...

    we don?t need just a backup. We need the future. We need TWO QBs. One to be the backup. One lottery ticket for the future.

    I'm not excited about Fields either. Huntley is fine as a career backup.

    And for everyone that wants to see Fields in a better system, that's what we should have given Kenny. Instead, we gave...

    If we don't want to pay $30M+/year, we're a little pressed. Wilson isn't going to play for peanuts next season.

    I agree with this.





    Contradicts the above. Isn't Fields someone who failed elsewhere? I don't want a player that another team wants rid of. We already have one of those in Wilson.

    Yeah, I don't think it went down exactly like that and agree that we may never know the full story.
