What is there to LOL about? They don't have a good enough position in the draft to get a top QB, and they don't have enough draft capital to move up. They signed a FA QB who was once considered a shoo-in for the HOF on a cheap, prove-it deal, and then they traded a next-to-nothing to get a former first round QB who seems to have at least the potential to be a decent NFL starter, which their former starting QB lacked. They've improve their QB situation significantly with hardly any impact to their cap space.
Exactly. I think it's a brilliant solution to the situation that the Steelers found themselves in when it became apparent that Pickett, like about half of QBs drafted in the first round, wasn't starter material.
It’s all just flailing.
i think Wilson will surprise. If he doesn’t, bringing in Fields to resurrect the moribund QB position in Pittsburgh is as bad a decision as it was in Chicago

Hey man, at least they’re consistently trying to find an answer instead of acquiring a guy and riding it out way too long.
At least they didn’t do the Denver way and give up insane premium assets to just cut ties before 2 seasons are up.
if you’re “consistently trying to find an answer” at QB…..that’s not really “trying” very well -

Both are terrible. Barkley is less terrible. He’s closer to Peterman than to the last guy on a roster but he is still in between the 2.
The degrees of terrible—that’s a hair I can’t split -
lol Steelers.

Lol, there are a lot of guys between “last QB on an NFL roster and Peterman.” Barkley is actually one of them. There are others as well, many of whom are closer to the last guy than Barkley.
Barkley more qualified than Peterman? They are both terrible. Barkley was only brought in (twice) because he's a "nice guy" to Josh Allen.

I REALLY hope he falls into Round 4, but I don't think it's likely. He'd be the PERFECT compliment to Cook. You don't find that blend of size, physicality, elusiveness, and strength every day. Guy looks like a Greek God.

Pickett strikes me as a STRONG backup QB option, for a SUPER affordable cap hit. Why is that difficult to acknowledge? Is it the draft capital lost? I can understand attacking that aspect of the deal, but the result for Philly is unquestionably a high-end backup who barely registers against the cap, at the most important position in the sport.
he stinks

I don’t blame them but I don’t like it either. It’s a different form of nepotism. It’s like, “he’s an easy personality to have in the room and not a real threat to the job.” More power to him, but I think it’s BS that a more qualified individual doesn’t get the opportunity because he’s a known “nice guy.”
Oh you mean like Matt Barkley?

Career reception % when targeted
Gabe: 54.5%
Shakir: 75.4%
And if you want an argument about context regarding recency, here are those same stats just for 2023:
Gabe: 55.5%
Shakir: 86.7%
Gabe's biggest problem from day 1 has been drops. As we saw this past year, it's also a lack of connection with his QB.
Happy he's gone.
lol there you go.
Anyway...Davis's dropped 3 balls for a drop rate of 3.7 this season--easily his lowest. Diggs had 5 for a drop rate of 5%.
INT's? Allen has thrown 47 of them in the past 3 seasons (4 on target to Diggs this year).....but Davis was the problem? God love him but Josh had a LOT of communication problems it seemed this year....Davis was on the "receiving" end of a lot of them.

He can ball?

Smart move by the Steelers. Pull the plug now; draft a guy like a Penix to groom Behind Wilson.

Oh so now they have to be something other than a #1? LolWhteher they are a number 1 or not is irrelevant. Neither was them having to be 6”1+…
6”0 is plenty when you couple that with their weight of 215lbs+.
Keep changing it until the narrative is exactly where I’m wholly wrong. 🤘
the narrative was not mine, and I quoted it for you. it's quite a list....in fact (and obviously) it describes a perfect WR, which may not exist.

i'm sorry i don't want to be a putz but.. Diggs #'s dropped because we were spreading the ball around, plus badly thrown balls by josh!
come on...how much effort did you put into this take?
#'s drop? He had essentially the same targets he has had every year with the Bills. A big chunk of his yards came in the first 6 weeks. Then, despite tons of targets the resto f the season, he couldn't produce.
Josh's fault for the drops? that's pretty funny.

Quite a few, from the top of my head without much thought I can come up with 13 teams.
Justin Jefferson, Minnesota
Jamar Chase/Tee Higgins, Cincinnati
DJ Moore, Chicago
Brandon Aiyuk, San Fran
DK Metcalf, Seattle
AJ Brown, Philadelphia
Mike Evans, Tampa
George Pickens, Pittsburgh
Amari Cooper, Cleveland
Amon St. Brown, Detroit
Chris Olave, New Orleans
Christian Watson, Green Bay
Puka Nacua, LA Rams
That’s over a 1/3 of the NFL.
Could even go further and add other guys like:
Michael Wilson, Arizona
CeeDee Lamb, Dallas
Nico Collins, Houston
Josh Palmer, LA Chargers
Courtland Sutton, Denver
Drake London, Atlanta
Thats well over half the league that have a guy who does all of what he suggested…
Not that much of a rarity.
🤷♂️
"big WR who can block, get deep, win contested throws, catch the ball in clutch moments, and block downfield"
you first listed a bunch of WR1s (except Higgins, Watson...).
A fraction of those guys might do everything/fit all criteria on the poster's wish list. a good number of them aren't over 6 feet tall, for starters.
The second group has several depth guys. less likely to check all those boxes

Mecole Hardman and Skyy Moore beg to differ, both were 2nd Round picks and let's just say they haven't been consistent producers.

lol everyone wants that. How many teams have it?

MVS had 21 catches for 300 yards this year. That’s not decent WR2/3 territory.
Who are these drafted hits? Rice is one but Moore has been an absolute bust.
OK so MVS is not a good weapon--solidifies my point (Mahomes hasn't been lavished with weapons in KC)
Hardman was a solid pick while he was in KC.

Juju

Hollywood Brown
All while having an All-Time Tight EndNot all of that has worked out, but this narrative has.. and will always be.. hilarious
Hill was on the team a year before Mahomes was drafted--and two years before he was starter.
MVS has been a decent WR2/3.
JuJu had a cup of coffee in KC.
As for the drafted guys--KC hits on their WR drafts pretty well. But Mahomes made those 2 guys.

I have a feeling that, after signing Samuel, that they could go BPA in the first round, and take a WR with their 2nd or 4th pick.
no way. Samuel wasn't even the BPA on his crappy Washington team.
Get someone better and younger under a rookie contract.

Shakir is already better than Davis is pretty out there as a take. There is less than a year between them in age and about 2,000 yards and 25 touchdowns in production.
the Davis takes over time, out of necessity (due to the hill his detractors insisted on dying on), grew consistently more "out there".
Pretty much all they had at the end was "but, but....catch%!!!"

Justin Fields traded to Steelers
in The Stadium Wall
Posted
Wilson is better than anyone the Steelers had last year, which goes without saying. So the benefit of the move is intuitive.
but…
If he busts, and the fans then have to suffer while the Steelers figure out why the Bears dumped Fields, well then it was a predictable error.
In summary, based on what we have seen of them, the possibility that Wilson plays well is higher than the likelihood that Fields will be a much better replacement.
