He has nearly twice as many TDs as Mahomes thru 6 weeks. I have no idea what your problem is with the kid, but you're making a silly argument for him to be benched.

If this is pointed towards.me, i dont have a problem with fields
I stated his qbr is 20 th, he is not anywhere near as accurate as wilson and wilson has a better command of checkdowns. If tomlin starts wilson, he must feel the same way
I think fields has done a good job overall but take out last game and are scoring average is not good enough to beat elite teams. Maybe wilson will improve that, maybe not

Maybe Tomlin is just playing games and isn’t starting Russ. This seems odd. Fields will never sign here is one of many negatives if Tomlin gets this wrong.

I like Fields but he has been lucky with the turnovers. I’d like to see what Wilson can do.

Not sure I agree with this

Ponie has zero credibility imho. I doubt any decision is without nay sayers... bottom line its tomlins decision good or bad
The passing game is not good and maybe wilson will correct that if he starts...maybe not

They just dont score enough to compete at a higher level

Wilson was brought here to start. Lets see how he does

For thoses who say tomlin is going to screw up fields mentally by sitting him, well if the kid is that easily screwed up, he aint the future anyway. I think he will handle it fine

It's not luck. It's coaching. The knock on Fields coming from Chicago was that he took too many sacks and turns the ball over too often. Neither of those issues are hampering him in Pittsburgh. It's not magic. It's coaching.

As with almost everything in team sports, chemistry takes a little while to gel - nothing happens overnight.

Fields has been improving every week. Neither of the two losses were his fault. The offense keeps getting better. I think the 32 points last week was just the beginning of what this offense can accomplish.

If Tomlin benches Fields for Wilson, all I can say is, it better fucking work.

No, it’s luck. How many mishandled snaps and interceptions dropped or over turned by a penalty. Quite a few. He’s not accurate at all. I’d like to see Russ. More than likely with this line he will be hurt and Fields will be back in anyways.

The Steelers are 2nd in rushing attempts and 30th in passing attempts. Unless Tomlin does a 180 and lets Wilson air it out, I doubt he’ll be any better than Fields.

[bambino]

So, Wilson processes the field faster?

Nope

Nope

Better command of where to go and picking up 2nd or 3rd options

Qb rushing average....

2024 fields. 4.2 per attempt
2023 wilson. 4.3 per attempt

I guess wilson is a better runner than fields by that stat. Lol

U know what stat i look at other than win/loss?

Points scored.... time will tell...

Chizz, the numbers are what the numbers are. The truth of the matter is Wilson hasn’t been very good for 3yrs. He was dumped by Seattle for Gino Smith, dumped by Denver who paid him 38 million to take a hike. His best days are behind him. I hope he balls out. But are the Steelers going to pay a guy who’s going to be 37 next year? What’s the use. Fields has improved his game since he’s been here. He’s 25. Younger than Pickett. We’ll see Sunday.

[bambino]

Bradshaw and Ben would stick with Fields.

They interviewed Fields today and he handled it like a pro! I have a lot of respect for him. Hate this move more and more. Predictable play calls, below average skill position guys and an injured/poor O-line isn’t exactly QB friendly.
We’ll see.
