Here’s where I’m at: Fields has played well in the second half the last 2 weeks but isn’t playing well early. He clearly is improving in an embarrassingly conservative offense with few weapons or creative play calling or play design.
You know and I know the Steelers aren’t going to be drafting in a position to draft a top QB next year. Fields still has upside. You bench him now for an old QB that won’t be back next year and to me, you’re playing for the NHALS.
Playing Fields actually might be playing for the future.
Knowing Tomlin, he desperately wants to finish 9-8 so I’ll bet he turns to Russ to give the team a spark.
I would stick with Fields because he’ll either get a lot better or he’ll probably lose more games than Wilson……but who knows, Russ very possibly could be worse so we’ll see.

This offense is exactly as good as Tomlin wants it to be? Fact. He keeps jamming square pegs into round holes and this is what you get.CKSteeler wrote: ↑Mon Oct 07, 2024 5:16 amI'm not sure that there is a feeling out process right now so much as they aren't very good on offense. Some people want to blame the OL. Fields just sucks. He is who we thought he was. And he's supported by a guy who is merely the starting RB because of his draft position and because Tomlin has some affinity for him.StillerDownSouth wrote: ↑Mon Oct 07, 2024 5:09 amSteelperch wrote: ↑Mon Oct 07, 2024 4:55 am
If you can’t score 21 on this piece of shit Dallas D you dont deserve to be a winning team
When our dipshit head coach uses first halves of games as a feeling out process instead of trying to score points this is the shit we get, game after game after game, he will never get rid of this philosophy because he’s a dipshit.
Fichtner and a HOF QB to Canada and now Smith. How big of a sample size does you need?

Fields has the pocket poise of a heroin addict. He just isn't that good. He's missing open guys and he panics when there is a blitz. Tonight he wasn't that accurate either. I've seen enough. Russ may get killed but I'd rather see what he has left in the tank because he's actually played the QB position at a high level...something Fields can't do right now. It's not all Fields...some of it is playcalling, some of it is talent, and some is sloppy play. But he's clearly not the guy IMO.
Well, we disagree. He had a nice opening drive until the 3rd down give up play where Smith was clearly playing for a figgie.zeke5123 wrote: ↑Mon Oct 07, 2024 5:23 amHe had 1.5 drives this last week.

I thought Fields was very good again in the second half again, but that isn’t enough and I 100% agree Fields is missing too many guys although we might have the least impressive receiving corps in the game.
Fields is a problem…at times. I see no problem turning to Russ but it’s a NHALS move. Watch.

Cowboys have Dak and Lamb and a creative offensive coach, you weren’t going to win that game scoring 17. Teams average 22 points per game in the NFL. Cowboys defense is horrendous. You needed to put up 24 to win that game going in. That’s the problem.

This is exactly the offense Tomlin wants.
A couple of TD’s and a couple Tomlin TD’s and Mikey believes his defense can hold anybody down.
It can’t.

When Herbig went out hurt, the Steelers were fucked. Watt was all but fucked and battled double teams and chips the entire night yet still applied pressure.
The defense made plays tonight but he had one guy that could make Dak uncomfortable and Dallas isn’t stupid. They focused all their attention on that one dude because he’s a game wrecker.
It’s just sad this needs to be explained to you.

The offense had 226 yards vs 445 for Dallas. There were exactly two reasonable drives at the beginning and the end of the 2nd half. Everything else was painful to watch.
The D did manage 3 takeaways but when they couldn't force a turnover, they sucked letting the Cowboys move up and down the field and giving up the earlier mentioned 445 yards. They forced one punt .... ONE!!!
As the last Dallas drive started, I said to my wife? "This can only end one of 2 ways... a turnover or a TD. We will not stop them on downs." When they forced the fumble but didn't recover it, it felt to me like we missed our big chance to close it out.
In the end, they both failed. The O didn't hold the ball long enough to for the D to stay rested but the D had many, MANY opportunities to get off the field and creat their own rest opportunities.
And you're just going to ignore how much better the winning % is when plays vs when he's out? The guy is one of the best players in Steelers history. Your hate is irrational kind of like how the NFL treats him with penalties, sacks not counted and MVP trophys he's robbed of.

A TE, a RB, and an OL all take time during a play to hit, disrupt, block, chop, combo and HOLD one player on the D on just about every snap he is out there and our resident monkey brain asks what more the guy occupying 3 different players and how much practice time what more he can do as opposed to the people seeing one v one matchups. Sounds about wrong.
If you want to say that TJ sucks because he helps to keep Tomlin employed then that is an argument that has a base to build on. Saying he doesn't impact the games is foolish, and doesn't disrupt the games when you find it fanciful is doubly foolish.

Where Watt was the difference maker in a big moment and closed things out in big game
You can’t do it
Because he’s a choker par excellence

He was a rookie in the 2017 Jags playoff game, the last true "big game" the Steelers have had. Watt didn't do much, but hard to blame a rookie. Cam was in his prime then, and completely silent. Cam did essentially nothing that game (1 tackle)- Watt at least had a tackle, two QB hits, and a pass defensed.
The 2020 Browns wildcard game is where I can see a tiny basis for your argument. Watt disappeared in the 2020 Browns playoff game. So did Cam. But the whole team played like shit. Ben and the Offense dug a huge hole, and the defense couldn't force a turnover to save their lives.
Watt played well in the 2021 playoff game against the Chiefs, but the Chiefs were just toying with the Steelers. No chance that Steelers team was going to beat that Chiefs team.
Watt was injured last year and didn't play against the Bills.
Watt has come up huge in plenty of regular season games. He hasn't really had the opportunity to have big playoff games because he came around just when the Steelers' offense died. I think your big game choker argument works much better for Cam, who is borderline HoF candidate at best and who was the face of the Defense for the playoff failures of the 2010s.
Ultimately, TJ Watt will be like Calvin Johnson- an all-time great who toils away on not very good teams and doesn't have much post-season success. Clearly a Hall of Famer, definitely 1st ballot guy, but will never win anything of note because he plays for the Zombie Tomlin Steelers.

We score well under the league average against bad defenses at home in prime time and blame our own D for not being perfect.SteelerDayTrader wrote: ↑Mon Oct 07, 2024 5:25 amThey blew the TOP battle when the defense kept letting the Cowboys move down the field with easeSteelperch wrote: ↑Mon Oct 07, 2024 5:14 am
Yeah, the defense collapsed because they were on the field 7 extra minutes than Dallas because our offense couldn’t move the ball against one of the worst defenses in the league who was missing its top two players. We were like 1-9 on 3rd down late in the game. Pathetic dogshit offense.
You aren’t gonna win games when your “stars” disappear on defense
They gave up TD drives of 20 and 19 plays in the 4th quarter
Not defending this offense
But when you drive down for a TD and go up 4 late the defense needs to close things out
Particularly when the entire team is built around you
Rooney is a thief. This is not a STANDARD of the PBGH STEELERS. It's been subjugated to a manhattaen sipping corporate shirt saying lets cash the legacy, not get better.
TOMLIN IS A COMPLETE FUCKING FRAUD. Nothing is changing until Art Douche and Tomlin are away from this organization.

The quietest most inconsequential collection of “100” sacks in league history
Name one game just one
Winning effort
Against a good team and QB
Where Watt was the difference maker in a big moment and closed things out in big game
You can’t do it
Because he’s a choker par excellence
The only choker close in Steeler history is NOD and the Steelers ditched his record breaking ass for one bad game
Low Watt underperforms in big moments as a matter of routine
