    And if he doesn't, you'll make all kinds of excuses for him.

    Last game it was one preseason game and we couldn't judge Fields from a half in the preseason.

    I don't think Russ looked good.

    But it's not even a half in a preseason game. No need to over react.

    Same as Fields last game.

      The Steelers have certainly been focused on upgrading the o-line. But the results just haven’t been there yet.

        13th season vs 4th season. If Wilson isn't significantly ahead, he should not start.

          yeah,, good luck on that one. I tried to point out the difference between 13 seasons vs 3 seasons and it never registered.

            Eye test says Fields running the O much better. If we go 1-3 with Wilson it might be too late, given the 2nd half schedule.

              Tomlin's an idiot. Why doesn't he let his QBs throw beyond the sticks on 4th down? Same old useless offensive scheme and play calling.

                For better or worse, they are going to have Wilson start the season.

                Just trying to point out that you really want Fields to start. So you look at it in a way that favors him.

                He looks pretty good so far today running.

                I think he's at worst a low end starter. And could maybe be special if he doesn't make big mistakes.

                I expect him to look good against backups. So I think it's good that we're seeing that.

                Wilson will be the day 1 starter. I think Fields has looked good enough so far that they will hopefully be confident that they can pull Wilson if he doesn't play well.

                  Yep... We need to start fast.

                  Young OL needs to gel.

                  QBs got to figure stuff out.

                    Yep. Other than his running I didn't see much difference in the offense.
                    And if Jones doesn't make a dramatic improvement he could end up a huge busted draft pick.
                    (somewhere I thought I read he was dealing with an arm problem. Maybe that's part of it)

                          Oof, this is just ugly all the way around. Preseason stuff, i hope.

                            Defense looks ready to go, but the offense has shown nothing. I'm hoping they are just trying not to show much in the preseason.

                              New QBs, new receivers, new OL, new OC, I'm not overreacting to preseason but man, it looks like total confusion out there.
