Re: Steelers sign Cordarrelle Patterson

KR definitely just became a lot more important, particularly in the hands of a creative STs coach. The bad news there, of course, being Danny Smith. People here hate on him but I have yet to hear a negative thing said about that man by anyone that has actually met or interacted with him. I am getti...

Re: Steelers sign Cordarrelle Patterson

He also just became the primary kick returner with the rule changes today. With the new rules, it seems to me you need a guy that can side-step and then get to speed quick. I think he fits the bill nicely. Big body that can break a tackle and outrun a guy to the edge. I know he is a bit up in age b...

Re: Maybe they are a circus - Fields could supplant Wilson

I mean, there was the season with (horribly wasted possible buddy cop sitcom title) Bibberty and The Duck, but that wasn't by choice. Arguably Tomlin's best season as a coach pulling the team together when it should have been a top 7 pick following that season. Miami thought the same thing otherwis...

Re: Maybe they are a circus - Fields could supplant Wilson

As I've said earlier, and no one well ever convince me otherwise, that the only way Russ sings with us is if Tomlin tells him (face-to-face) he IS the starter -- period! Tomlin (and the rest of them) can lie his ass off all he wants, but dollars to donuts, he told Kenny they would be "competing" an...

Re: Maybe they are a circus - Fields could supplant Wilson

People like to dismiss these reports right up until they ring true. The Steelers may have promised Wilson something, but promises count for jack in the NFL and they may have another disgruntled, misled veteran on their hands once season starts. That can be cut at any time for a $0.00 effect on the ...

Re: Maybe they are a circus - Fields could supplant Wilson

I know about the 22 million or whatever he's owed as a 5th year option, but that isn't huge money for a starting QB. Look at what Denver is paying Wilson to go away. They'll pay Fields his 22 million but I believe the Steelers are going to want to see what they have at some point this season and if...

Schefter says they could give up on Wilson in the preseason if he's outplayed.
That would be fucking hilarious and awesome at the same time.
I have heard rumors that he is all but guaranteed to be given a new contract next off-season.

Re: Steelers Trade For Justin Fields

As bad as Pickett's OC, and Oline has been most of the time, I'd bet Fields had a much worse situation, and wasn't in a position to win/lose anywhere near as many close games as Pickett did in the last two years. One of the reasons one had a chance to win games late was not turning the ball over. I...

assumption is he would otherwise be cut and might end up with significantly less.
This does sound more like the Steelers said you can take the pay cut or we may sign you as a street free agent in a few weeks if you are available.

Re: Mike Williams coming in

Heyward is our discount Jonnu Smith. Cal Austin is going to be the PR and get about 25 targets or fewer, whether he's WR3 or WR4. Feel bad for him, because on a normal team running a normal NFL offense, he'd get 3 times that. Tutu Atwell had 67 targets as the Rams WR3. Nate Washington got targets i...

On another note, hopefully Cam H. is watching what Johnson just did, and will do what is best for the team, not himself!

Re: Mike Williams coming in

We need a route runner, not a big one trick pony. The injury stuff and age added in is just a no for me. Why? Russ tends to hold the ball and throws a deep fade or he holds the ball and throws to within a yard of the LOS. Why do we need a route runner? It is not like Russ sits and reads the progres...

Re: The Steelers are now officially the........

Unless Arthur Smith was given complete autonomy over the offense, Wilson's ceiling is probably 1 or 2 levels below what he was doing in DEN. And then, just after half the season, they'll go to Fields and we'll see he's even worse than he was in CHI. Going to be fun to watch either way. If Wilson st...

Wow. Didn't think we had it in us.

That opens up getting a QB in round 1.
I'm hoping they bring in Penix. Let him sit a year behind Russ
I did not like seeing him get his ass kicked for 4 quarters against Michigan. I would pass on Penix.

Russell Wilson led the NFL with 9 touchdown passes on dropbacks longer than 4 seconds last season (extended dropbacks), three more than the next closest QB. Steelers QBs were one of just two teams to not record a passing TD on an extended dropback in 2023 (Jets). Per Next Gen I just found it intere...

Kenny Pickett has hardly been a bust. He's helped the Steelers win a lot of games since Big Ben retired. Sorry Bingo, you've got to rip that bandaid off and accept the truth.

U might say his resume speaks about his love of the U-shaped offense that Coach Tomlin is a proponent of.
