JimBob2232 Posted March 16 Share Posted March 16 Kinda amazing value was so low. I would be happy having someone like him behind Josh. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What transaction from the drought IYHO is comparable to this? 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

boyst Posted March 16 Share Posted March 16 I bet we could get two thirds the next two years for Josh if we put him out there. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
blacklabel Posted March 16 Share Posted March 16 Haha there was a Vegas book that had pretty solid odds on Pitt landing both Wilson and Fields. Guess they were right. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not absolutely enamored with Field but he is an improvement over what we have had the past few years. Anyway, they wouldn’t have traded him to use for a 6th rounder. The play time to increase the pick was their selling point. That would never have happened here unless our worst nightmare materialized…. 🤐 5 minutes ago, blacklabel said: Haha there was a Vegas book that had pretty solid odds on Pitt landing both Wilson and Fields.

Mr. WEO Posted March 17 Share Posted March 17 1 hour ago, BBFL said: 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 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Taro Nimbus Posted March 17 Share Posted March 17 For only a 6th is crazy. Hell if the bills got him for a 6th I’d. e happy. Dude is a playmaker. Needs to refine his passing skills a bit, but he’s just as dangerous as Jackson running the ball. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr. WEO Posted March 17 Share Posted March 17 1 hour ago, SoTier said: 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 1 hour ago, Ethan in Cleveland said: Glass houses says Todd Collins, Doug Flutie, Rob Johnson, EJ, Tyrod, etc, etc, etc....

Big Blitz Posted March 17 Share Posted March 17 This true? The bears have essentially sent justin fields & joey porter jr. to the steelers for chase claypool & a conditional sixth round pick 1 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bigduke6 Posted March 17 Share Posted March 17 well, good for Justin i guess. im sure hes already beyond hope spending 3 years as a Bears QB. maybe he can revive his career with an organization not known for ruining QBs on a regular basis. gl with the Bears Caleb, yer gonna need it. 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Miyagi-Do Karate Posted March 17 Share Posted March 17 I heard the eagles had offered more for fields than what they offered for Pickett and the bears turned them down! so then they trade him instead for a 6th?! 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This isn't the Russell Wilson of 2011-2020 for Seattle. Make it make sense 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. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
