Russell Wilson to sign with the Steelers

[#1 pick]

it’s becoming a tough situation esp if ATL lands Kirk

Let's pray that doesn't happen

 

[3Rivers]

Low risk, high reward

Hard to picture our QB play being worse this season than last. Just gotta fix the online(JPJ or Frazier) and play calling. At the very least maybe they won't be a chore to watch when they're on offense.

Yeah Ryan Poles fukked this up. Tried to play the whole "We don't know what we doing at QB yet" card, when the intel was out there. I am sure he turned down good deals to try and get a better deal, now it will bite him in the ass. The loser here though is Fields because he gonna be a backup somewhere now because he gonna go for the low.

I don’t know that Poles fukked anything up. I don’t think he’s had a tangible offer yet. Teams like the Steelers & Falcons were never going to rush to get a deal done before they saw what developed in FA. It just doesn’t seem like Fields ever had a hot market tbh. Hes nobody’s first choice to solve QB question at the moment

a lot of smoke around it, and it sounds like he’s only deciding between ATL & whatever Minny put on the table. We should know in about 12 hours

Good signining.

Arthur Smith was trash as a HC but he was solid in Tennessee.

No he wasn’t. They rode Derek Henry


The irony is those titans, the falcons, and the Steelers are all basically the same team. 3 nasty, gross, hard nosed ‘how tf are they winning games’ 20-17 W, 9-8 mid ass teams

 

[Based Lord Zedd]

Solid move but for it to truly matter it needs to elevate them to the next level. Im not sure it does, Bengals/Ravens have better QB situations.

They still feel like a wildcard ceiling team.

2019 the titans were good once tanny took over. They had the lead at halftime of the AFC Championship game.

Don’t forget the draft. Fields path to being a starter is more narrow than people think

Not counting what we assume will be QBs going 1-3, the consensus is there are 2, possibly 3 starting level QBs. Penix, Nix, and to a lesser extent Rattler. Then let’s assume Cousins goes to Atlanta

So jobs that Fields would come in and start no question: Raiders, Broncos, Vikings. I’m not even including the Giants bc Daniel jones could beat him out

Penix and Nix will be drafted by 2 of those teams. Then, based on what I’m hearing about rattler, teams probably value him for free in the 3rd instead of giving up a third for fields (a team who’d let him sit like NY, or Seattle)

Then factor in that the remaining teams may not want fields. The league is split on him. So yea it could get shaky. Could end up a backup somewhere like Seattle or Jets

Pretty sure JJ McCarthy is going to go in the 1st round as well

Williams
Maye
Daniels
Nix
McCarthy

I believe all 5 could go top 15
Penix is in the mix but could slip cause of injury history if anything

Doesn't mean all will start day 1 btw, but in that case the team drafting them would be bringing in a bridge starter like Andy Dalton or Jimmy G rather than a player like Fields

 

[concise]

Steelers still need to draft a QB

 

[Arris]

Afc north is gonna be even more of a bloodbath than last year?

Healthy burrow, browns with a hopefully steady watson, lamar, and Wilson who is definitely better than pickett

I think they'll probably draft someone late

Damn I forgot about McCarthy. He’s definitely going top 20. Even slimmer pickings for fields

If I had to guess, Minny/denver/Oakland take McCarthy in round 1

NYG moves up to 32 to take Penix/Nix

Minny/denver/Oakland take Penix/Nix in round 2

Fields is SOL

 

[Jerz]

Pittsburgh gon hate this dude. Steelers just wrapped up last place in the AFC North with this move

 

[Raquinotj]

9-8 season incoming.
