Justin Fields Traded To Pittsburgh

[JYB]

So true, Steelers have gone from NO QB to having a wealth of talented starters! Great franchise

More like a wealth of very solid backups.

They will be playing on a better team with a better O line so I will be surprised if we don’t see a better outcome. Wilson didn’t play badly last year - he was sat to ensure he didn’t get injured. OK he wasn’t brilliant but I could see him rising from the ashes.

I would have been thrilled if we had traded a 5th for Fields provided he was willing to rework his contract because he’s not currently worth the 5th year option. I could see him becoming a star but equally flaming out but he is going to play for years even if only as a backup. That said, he wanted an opportunity and we could not offer him a clearer path to starting

I'm surprised that the Steelers seem to have anointed Wilson as the starter. I would make him win the competition if was me (I think that competion would be great for Wilson) but the job must have been a condition of the move for Wilson because Tomlin reportedly phoned him after Fields was acquired to let him know he's still the dude.

I think he stinks

I still think Fields has potential. Get him some better talent around him and see what happens.

I don't think even McVay could fix Fields at this point. Chicago has already ruined him, IMO.

Report: Steelers traded Kenny Pickett because he was unhappy with the signing of Russell Wilson

The Steelers drafted quarterback Kenny Pickett two years ago in part because they knew him well from his time at Pitt.

It’s called mentoring & depth.Look back at history & there you might find the answer.

Tomlin has been a long time NFL HC for a reason.The bigger question should be why Da Bears are drafting #1 & #9 ? Then again what was Denver thinking with that trade ?
