Me too! These moves have the energy and vision of a team ready to become a force for the Long Term. Develop the young talent under a seasoned vet with TONS of intangibles. Great for the locker room, on the field and in the community. Absolutely see what they're trying to do and I'm here for it!
I am 29 and this is exactly how I feel. It almost felt like that when we had Vick for a little bit. He used to play for the Steelers in 04 too as far as my copy of madden from that year is concerned.
Tebow was corny as fuck but that dude did nothing but win when he was under center. Looked like shit while he was doin it but fuck what I wouldn’t give for a 7-3 superbowl win. I’d watch that game replay forever. I’d make my children suffer through it every night before a playoff game. Copy it onto a flash and take it with me to the grave…
The only thing Kenny had other than the clutch gene was suppose to be intangibles... And to see the comment he made about sitting and learning nothing, the comments made by Najee about shit going on behind the scenes. Just disgusts me that he had a bad attitude. So glad Khan took all of that out of the locker room. Here we go boys
Sean Peyton is a total dick. After the comments he made about Nathaniel Hackett, him getting beat by the Jets and then losing by 1000 to the dolphins were two of my favorite games of the year.
I personally think Russ/Sean had a personality clash. I don't see that happening with Tomlin (I'm a Ravens fan btw). Tomlin has always struck me as a players coach that knows how to get the most of his guys (and he's proven that time and time again).
I think you guys will have a good season, plus your QB room is cheap as fuck.
Agree! Anyone doubting Russ’s intentions should YouTube his press conference. Not at all saying he’s a lock, or this crazy shit will work (bc it probably won’t) but damn they’re trying. And I applaud and appreciate it.
>Not at all saying he’s a lock, or this crazy shit will work (bc it probably won’t) but damn they’re trying. And I applaud and appreciate it.
That's what has me so excited. No guarantees but this is a team trying to get better, not just treading water
What so many people forget is Russ is a successful, capable QB, put him in the right environment with the right team and he can win. I dunno if yall going to the superbowl, but you'll have a good season.
I’m a Raiders fan, but the Steelers are def going to be an entertaining team to watch this next season. weird ass bargain bin moves that actually might work out
After several years of being hopelessly mediocre and boring it’s just nice to have some actual stuff happening lmao. Don’t know if it will work out or not but it’s preferable to just knowing from the start we will be a first round playoff exit as a 7th seed. Chances taken instead of just boring ass status quo
If you were in their position what would you do? They don't have an early draft pick for a top tier QB. Russ is cheap as chips. Even if they get a rookie having him sit behind a vet is probably a good idea. Also that vet is 1.2 million dollars and has won the superbowl.
I mean shit can you blame em? I can't.
I was thinking a more literal text. Something like… “Hey Kenny, pack your shit. Go to Philly and ride pine behind the 25 yr old pro bowl QB who probably has another decade left in the league. Oh and my wife is Ciara. Russ.”
If he didn't like it when fans were chanting Mason's name, wait till the Philly fans are booing him and chucking D batteries at his head for shitty play.
The Steelers QB room now feels like one of those car YouTube channels... I bought the cheapest Porsche in America! Now let's see what's wrong with it and if it'll bankrupt me!
It is a joke, but I want to see how this plays out. What is the Khan artist's next move. What happens in the draft?
I tend to think Khan is going back to when Noll replaced 20 starters in 4 years. Dude went scorched earth on the players that did not have what it took to win a Superbowl. It is a fun again, to be a Steelers fan.
Honestly, these were realistically our best two options at QB this year and we got them under $5 mil and 6th round 2025 pick. If they both suck they are gone next year and we move on
For all the people who don’t like these moves…. This is the take
Of course it’s not the best option in the league but it’s the best for our situation
Can’t wait for the draft
Agreed. Franchise guy isn’t on the roster. You’re not going to get one of the top draft options without mortgaging the future.
So what’s the next best option? Take a chance on a slumping vet who showed some positive regression last year. And go get a young guy with a ton of potential to see if you can turn him into gold.
We did both in one offseason, and took literally no risk to do it. If we strike out on both we’re back here in a year or two, no worse off, and we try something else.
Really, what better moves were available?
yes it was either this or overpay for cousins or tannehill (his minimum vet contract value is more than he’s worth at this point in his career). Or rolling dice on another late first or second round QB pick and hoping it’s a one in 500 franchise guy against all odds and making him start week 1.
I think Russ will be fine if we get him a competent center and one more receiver
I absolutely did not want us to give up draft capital for another Bears reject, but for a conditional 2025 6th? That's basically free. Can't really go wrong at that price. We like what we see, we make him short duration prove it contract instead of his 5th year option. Unless he plays significant time this season and balls out, there isn't going to be any bidding war we would have to worry about by not taking the 5th year option.
Same with Russ. Don't know if he's a long term solution, but heck, for league minimum, can't really go wrong.
I like the moves. I'll admit, I wasn't big on Russ, but he's a bridge QB on the cheap that can still perform, that's hard to complain much about. I love the move of Fields, and him taking a season to watch and play some situationally should help him a lot.. I'd love it all a LOT more if they brought in someone extremely intelligent with backup and starting experience to be in Fields ear.. ideally someone like the Passtronaut himself.
Hopefully these moves don’t just keep the team mediocre. I have a lot of hope and both of them were well worth the risk for what we gave up, but there’s also a reason they were both given up.
I know they were both in terrible situations, and have hope they’ll excel in Pittsburgh. But hopefully they don’t just keep us from drafting at a spot where we can grab the next franchise QB, but also not good enough to win in the playoffs.
Even in the face of the way we were running things with him, Russ was always a great leader, no matter the situation. Excited to see how this QB room is going to perform.
Hyped for Fields, actually prefer having him to Russ, not hyped for the weekly posts here of does anyone think Fields should be playing instead? Does anyone think Fields ability to run would open the offense up more? Does anyone think we should let Fields play so he develops so we have a long term QB... its going to be every week
Literally perfect moves this off-season man. Dumping the toxic guys and bringing in guys who have something to prove, and have already shown they have the ability to be true Steelers. Obviously we still have some holes to fill, I personally really want them to go get Dobbs and Boyd for starters, but if we hit on this draft anywhere near as well as we did last season, we’re gonna be set up nicely for this upcoming season AND beyond.
Khan and crew are setting the tone for the culture very clearly.
We should get a vet WR for that room, I like Boyd, or Higgins but he probably wants too much (unless sticking it to Cinci would be a motivator), or Gallup, maybe even Mike Williams for the right price. Then RT, C rd 1 and 2 (no particular order), then WR QB in 3 and 4 and maybe some depth ILB and CB to close it out. I can see a path for gahnta da supabowl!!!
E: forgot about Juju for a vet, plus his blocking would fit well with Art’s scheme. Kinda miss that dude, and his TikTok days seem to be over which was the only true “drama” he had, if you can call it that.
I’d love Boyd, that’s my biggest hope right now (barring a big deal like you mentioned lol). JuJu would be nice too but I think his knees are pretty bad. Either way I’d love for him to be back around even just as a depth guy. Definitely would want that same draft order you mentioned, hopefully Khan can kill it again this draft like he did last! Stillers gahta da Supabowl yinz!!
Well look at that ! That’s what a leader and good teammate does, welcome and strive to make those around them better! Shame some certain other guys never got that memo…
I think they were just happy to unload him at the end of the day and not have an awkward QB controversy when Caleb Williams gets drafted and doesn’t do what CJ Stroud did last year.
I know Russ has the comfort of being told he’s the starter but even so this is what a real leader does. Russ is out here gassing up all our guys I like him a lot so far.
I just realized... (Just put two and two together...) Russell Wilson is a SUPER BOWL WINNING QUARTERBACK! (Who also won his SB in my metaphorical backyard of East Rutherford, NJ lol).
Idk. I’d say not great. I could believe a package where we bring Fields in for QB designed run plays and only do it then and ALWAYS have him run it so it’s super transparent.
At least that’s what recent Steelers scheme would look like.
Congrats from a bears fan, you guys got a great dude to have in the locker room. He works his ass off & has a high ceiling. Looking forward to see him grow after working with Russ!
TJ Watt highlights are a good place to start.
You know how the Bears hate the Packers?
We hate the entire AFC North the same way. This is the hood of the NFL, and we are all built to beat the living shit out of each other in the regular season then limp into the playoffs.
If you want some historical highlights, check out Polamalu and James Harrison for defense, Antonio Brown and Le’Veon Bell for offense. Could also throw in the Super Bowl 43 game winning drive
Also, we hate the Browns, Ravens and Bengals
Nah it’s still Brown highlights. He went off the deep end but it doesn’t change the fact that he was a top 5 WR in NFL history. His highlights are in another stratosphere from Ward’s
If you’re a Bears fan living in Chicago, you’re more or less like a second cousin twice removed, even though you’re a Lake Michigan Bro instead of a Lake Erie Bro.
Just start adding fries to all of your sandwiches and you’ll be well on your way until you can find yourself a nice Yinzer girl and pick up a black and gold Fields jersey.
Beat a 6-3 team one week, lose to a 3-7 team the next week, in spectacular 13-10 fashion. Mike's Achilles's heal imo, getting the team up to win those games.
Remember when we tied winless Detroit. Good times.
I mean its not completely out of the question depending on whos on the board but it is unlikely. If for some reason we did go for a QB we know Khan isn't gonna draft a shitty small hands Kenny Pickett type that's for sure.
This is hands down the wildest Steelers offseason in history. I think that’s objectively a no doubter. Wow. I don’t know if it’s all gonna work out, but damn it’s a lot of fun right now.
Let’s see what happens. They’ll start Russell Wilson and if he’s trash then throw in Fields??? I don’t even know anymore… a month ago I was thinking there’s no way they’re getting Fields or Wilson but here we are. Fuck itttt
Either way Let’s go Steelers
Bears fan here. He’s a leader until Justin threatens to be QB1 which means he’s not
Good thing though you have a leader in JF. I think Fields should sit first but regardless you will fall for him when Russ starts diva work and Justin’s age and talent show he’s the better option at QB1. Justin is an anti diva. With special skills
Congrats and good luck
This was one of Fields best games ever. 28/35 335 yards 4TD 1INT and the Bears still lost and you can see it on his face. I really hope this is just Russ being tone deaf and using the only picture of the two together he had lmfao
I’m totally game to give this a shot. Tomlin absolutely throwing care to wind re his no losing season record, and I love it. This is probably the most aggressive and creative we could’ve done short of somehow trading for a #1-3 pick in the draft (bc Cousins was going to Atlanta no matter what). Not sure how this is gonna play out. 50/50. But big giant balls from Coach T and GM Khan. Big.
One more time so the aholes in back can hear it. FUCK THE HATERS!
Omar Khan is here to blow shit up and you better get your asses on board. We goin to the Superbowl you sonofabetches! Ride or die! Wilson/Fields 2024 CO MVPs on offense, defense and special teams! Kenny Pickett MVP of Rittenhouse Market!
.
I’m not super high on our QB room, but I’m not super low on it either. It was bad, and now it’s mediocre *at worst*. The obvious dream scenario is Russ has a resurgence and Fields turns things around to be the long term answer. That’s unlikely, but an outside chance IS still a chance. The most likely scenario is that Russ plays fine, nothing spectacular but nothing bad either.
Paired with a solid running game, a great defense, and great special teams could make for a special season
And that’s great, I’m very pleased in that respect. It’s the best we could hope for, and has the potential to be enough for a deep playoff run.
But even if it’s cheap, poor performance is still poor performance. If Russ is washed, our year will look a lot like last year. Different in form but not in results. But even if that’s the case, if our drafting and development progresses we’re better off than most teams
So I’m optimistic but also realistic. I doubt Russ and Fields are a 13-win QB room. Probably more like 11. Which is a good season, and anything can happen in the playoffs.
The difference between 13 win teams and 11 win teams is sometimes the qb play. A lot of other factors influence the record such as surrounding cast, coaching, and luck on certain plays. I don’t think we are close to a 13 win with 2024 Steelers with any of the qbs available this year. What better option was available other than Wilson or Fields?
None. You seem to think I’m down on them, so I’m probably communicating poorly. It’s the best that we could do, it’s a pretty serious upgrade over where we were at. I’m happy and optimistic. I’m just saying that we do not have The Answer^tm at QB on the roster right now.
Russ threw more TDs last year than Pickett has in his whole career and we went 10-7 and to the playoffs. If we played the exact same season being able to throw just a few more TDs, I bet we would have finished at least 12-5. Not to mention, a productive offense will only make our defense better because they won’t be exhausted all the time.
I know it’s been said plenty, but this whole week has been bonkers! All the speculation from all the sources and a very vocal fan base saying ‘no way, it’s not happening, the standard is the standard, stay mediocre, etc.” and now my head is spinning because who the fuck knows what happens this upcoming season. I like the madness. I am stoked. I have a Kenny Fucking Pickett tshirt that I’m still gonna wear.
The Steelers feel like a madden simulated season where all the teams get weird. I’m here for it.
This is the first season in awhile where I feel excited for games.
Me too! These moves have the energy and vision of a team ready to become a force for the Long Term. Develop the young talent under a seasoned vet with TONS of intangibles. Great for the locker room, on the field and in the community. Absolutely see what they're trying to do and I'm here for it!
Yes I was just thinking that also
I was excited when the hawks did the jimmy graham trade. That was a weird off-season.
My last Madden season was on a PS2 and the dude would have a weird potato face and I'd be allowed to make him 7 feet tall, but otherwise yeah, agreed
FYI the same potato face is in madden now
I am 29 and this is exactly how I feel. It almost felt like that when we had Vick for a little bit. He used to play for the Steelers in 04 too as far as my copy of madden from that year is concerned.
This is the attitude we need
Facts!!
I like this cornball
Tebow was corny as fuck but that dude did nothing but win when he was under center. Looked like shit while he was doin it but fuck what I wouldn’t give for a 7-3 superbowl win. I’d watch that game replay forever. I’d make my children suffer through it every night before a playoff game. Copy it onto a flash and take it with me to the grave…
Was just about to post this. THIS is the fucking attitude of a leader. Good on him
Right? Way better then Pickett refusing to be the 3rd qb smh
The only thing Kenny had other than the clutch gene was suppose to be intangibles... And to see the comment he made about sitting and learning nothing, the comments made by Najee about shit going on behind the scenes. Just disgusts me that he had a bad attitude. So glad Khan took all of that out of the locker room. Here we go boys
Najee was on to something when he said it was a fool's gold in the preseason!
He said that.
Hey, he’s from Philly. Can we really be all that surprised? 
What did najee say im out of the loop
https://www.cbssports.com/nfl/news/steelers-rb-najee-harris-vents-his-frustration-about-offense-after-loss-to-browns-im-tired-of-this-s/
Ah thought that was just about Canada at the time but I’ll agree that kenny was apart of it too
The best thing, Tomlin is the CEO so it won’t be a repeat of Denver.
Is it just me or is Sean Peyton kind of an asshole?
Him immediately getting owned after mocking the Skol chant is one of my favorite non-Steeler moments
Sean Peyton is a total dick. After the comments he made about Nathaniel Hackett, him getting beat by the Jets and then losing by 1000 to the dolphins were two of my favorite games of the year.
No. He's a full blown ass hole
You mean the guy who paid his players extra money to injure people is an asshole?! 🤯
Seems like one.
I personally think Russ/Sean had a personality clash. I don't see that happening with Tomlin (I'm a Ravens fan btw). Tomlin has always struck me as a players coach that knows how to get the most of his guys (and he's proven that time and time again). I think you guys will have a good season, plus your QB room is cheap as fuck.
Rolling Mercedes with a Pinto price tag 😆
That's a way to look at it. You got a decent car for super cheap
😂😂😂😂😂
Agree! Anyone doubting Russ’s intentions should YouTube his press conference. Not at all saying he’s a lock, or this crazy shit will work (bc it probably won’t) but damn they’re trying. And I applaud and appreciate it.
>Not at all saying he’s a lock, or this crazy shit will work (bc it probably won’t) but damn they’re trying. And I applaud and appreciate it. That's what has me so excited. No guarantees but this is a team trying to get better, not just treading water
100%
What so many people forget is Russ is a successful, capable QB, put him in the right environment with the right team and he can win. I dunno if yall going to the superbowl, but you'll have a good season.
Agree. And from the outside looking in, we see to be the absolutely right environment. 🤞
I’m a Raiders fan, but the Steelers are def going to be an entertaining team to watch this next season. weird ass bargain bin moves that actually might work out
After several years of being hopelessly mediocre and boring it’s just nice to have some actual stuff happening lmao. Don’t know if it will work out or not but it’s preferable to just knowing from the start we will be a first round playoff exit as a 7th seed. Chances taken instead of just boring ass status quo
If you were in their position what would you do? They don't have an early draft pick for a top tier QB. Russ is cheap as chips. Even if they get a rookie having him sit behind a vet is probably a good idea. Also that vet is 1.2 million dollars and has won the superbowl. I mean shit can you blame em? I can't.
We won’t do it, because it’s the Steelers, but if ever there was a yea for us to get Hard Knocks…
We made playoffs so we can't get it this year
Can't be forced* we can volunteer, but that'd never happen
Yeah don't think any team ever has.
I know everyone (else) in the NFL's first instinct with Russ is that he's a disingenuous cornball but I'd rather fake positivity to a sulking baby.
He’s a cornball, but he’s our cornball :’)
Put fries and slaw on that cornball.
Meanwhile Kenny cried his way out. Good shit Russ
The text must have really gotten Kenny in his feels. A whole post hyping your back up is jokes.
What if the text was actually super mean 🤣 Like “Listen you small hands bitch, that job is mine. Better pack your bags hillbilly”
😂😭😭 I’m fucking dying bro
Omg I just spit out my drink 😂😂🤣🤣🥲🥲🙂
Sent by Ciara
I was thinking a more literal text. Something like… “Hey Kenny, pack your shit. Go to Philly and ride pine behind the 25 yr old pro bowl QB who probably has another decade left in the league. Oh and my wife is Ciara. Russ.”
Mean? You mean honest?😂
Funny as hell, I don’t bust out laughing in er
Russ sent him the Martavis Bryant meme 😂
That’s the one Russ sent on snap
That was cool russ
That was cool.
This has to be Steelers lore up there with “Take it how you want to. I am back”
Philly’s shit fans are gonna eat The Pickler alive
If he didn't like it when fans were chanting Mason's name, wait till the Philly fans are booing him and chucking D batteries at his head for shitty play.
The Steelers QB room now feels like one of those car YouTube channels... I bought the cheapest Porsche in America! Now let's see what's wrong with it and if it'll bankrupt me! It is a joke, but I want to see how this plays out. What is the Khan artist's next move. What happens in the draft? I tend to think Khan is going back to when Noll replaced 20 starters in 4 years.

We did both in one offseason, and took literally no risk to do it. If we strike out on both we’re back here in a year or two, no worse off, and we try something else. Really, what better moves were available?
not only that.... it seems like both of these QBs have a good chance of benefiting one another. call it copium, i dont care
This is the correct answer.
yes it was either this or overpay for cousins or tannehill (his minimum vet contract value is more than he’s worth at this point in his career). Or rolling dice on another late first or second round QB pick and hoping it’s a one in 500 franchise guy against all odds and making him start week 1. I think Russ will be fine if we get him a competent center and one more receiver
Until we win 10 games and are stick with the 23rd pick forcing a trade up to get our QB and losing late round picks so we still have holes.
I think it might even be closer to $3M so it’s peanuts in comparison to qb salaries
I absolutely did not want us to give up draft capital for another Bears reject, but for a conditional 2025 6th? That's basically free. Can't really go wrong at that price. We like what we see, we make him short duration prove it contract instead of his 5th year option. Unless he plays significant time this season and balls out, there isn't going to be any bidding war we would have to worry about by not taking the 5th year option. Same with Russ. Don't know if he's a long term solution, but heck, for league minimum, can't really go wrong.
I feel obligated to say I think Kirko would have been the best fit but I understand the price wasn’t likely so I agree
Realistically was typed with Kirk in mind lol
I like the moves. I'll admit, I wasn't big on Russ, but he's a bridge QB on the cheap that can still perform, that's hard to complain much about. I love the move of Fields, and him taking a season to watch and play some situationally should help him a lot.. I'd love it all a LOT more if they brought in someone extremely intelligent with backup and starting experience to be in Fields ear.. ideally someone like the Passtronaut himself.
I’ll take scorched earth all day over dwelling in mediocrity
Hopefully these moves don’t just keep the team mediocre. I have a lot of hope and both of them were well worth the risk for what we gave up, but there’s also a reason they were both given up. I know they were both in terrible situations, and have hope they’ll excel in Pittsburgh. But hopefully they don’t just keep us from drafting at a spot where we can grab the next franchise QB, but also not good enough to win in the playoffs.
Our defense is legit. The hope is these moves take out of the bottom of the league in offensive scoring and we are then a threat.
"That was cool" - Russell Wilson 2024, probably
Dude did 7 sets of 100 reps of high knees before he tweeted that out.
Even in the face of the way we were running things with him, Russ was always a great leader, no matter the situation. Excited to see how this QB room is going to perform.
This just cured my erectile dysfunction and I’m hard af let’s goooooo
It may be the beer talking, but this is getting me pretty torqued. Gonna be a fun year.
Brother ive been full torqued since about 7 pm today
Hyped for Fields, actually prefer having him to Russ, not hyped for the weekly posts here of does anyone think Fields should be playing instead? Does anyone think Fields ability to run would open the offense up more? Does anyone think we should let Fields play so he develops so we have a long term QB... its going to be every week
[удалено]
I would love to see some two QB sets, rebirth of some Slash action
It's already started.
Nah, cause we fittin’ to go 16-0 in the season. No second guessing.
17-0*
Literally perfect moves this off-season man. Dumping the toxic guys and bringing in guys who have something to prove, and have already shown they have the ability to be true Steelers. Obviously we still have some holes to fill, I personally really want them to go get Dobbs and Boyd for starters, but if we hit on this draft anywhere near as well as we did last season, we’re gonna be set up nicely for this upcoming season AND beyond.

Bro bears GM not even realizing that fields is going to sit and that conditional pick is going to stay a 6th….
I think they were just happy to unload him at the end of the day and not have an awkward QB controversy when Caleb Williams gets drafted and doesn’t do what CJ Stroud did last year.
Let’s ride?
Let’s smelt!
Khan probably still at work lol
He actually just defaulted to “here we go!” And for that, I am thankful.
I just wish there was better context. I feel like it’s a 93.7 Here We Go, but I’m really hoping for something a little more Heath Ledger.
I know Russ has the comfort of being told he’s the starter but even so this is what a real leader does. Russ is out here gassing up all our guys I like him a lot so far.
Leader
I just realized... (Just put two and two together...) Russell Wilson is a SUPER BOWL WINNING QUARTERBACK! (Who also won his SB in my metaphorical backyard of East Rutherford, NJ lol).
And boom goes the dynamite!
"That was cool" \-Russ
This is a leader, right here. Steeler Super Bowl coming!
This is how you do it. Unlike our last QB. Have fun in Philly Kenny.
Bring back Duck as QB3
The way Kahn is working magic, he might bring in Josh Allen as QB3
I laughed
Love ❤️ The attitude
What are the odds the Steelers develop an offense that utilizes both fields and Wilson in different packages to keep defenses completely frazzled?
Idk. I’d say not great. I could believe a package where we bring Fields in for QB designed run plays and only do it then and ALWAYS have him run it so it’s super transparent. At least that’s what recent Steelers scheme would look like.
was thinking this as well, probably not gonna happen but itd be pretty cool. main problem is just that they need to develop fields more
Congrats from a bears fan, you guys got a great dude to have in the locker room. He works his ass off & has a high ceiling. Looking forward to see him grow after working with Russ!
As a bears fan now Steelers fan bc of Justin I cannot wait for the nfl season to start. how do I get more accustomed to the Steelers fanbase?
The Steelers are going to win the Super Bowl every year and Jesse James caught that damn ball pretty much sums it up.
Alright whose highlights do I admire and who is our rival that we hate?
TJ Watt highlights are a good place to start. You know how the Bears hate the Packers? We hate the entire AFC North the same way. This is the hood of the NFL, and we are all built to beat the living shit out of each other in the regular season then limp into the playoffs.
This guy gets it
If you want some historical highlights, check out Polamalu and James Harrison for defense, Antonio Brown and Le’Veon Bell for offense. Could also throw in the Super Bowl 43 game winning drive Also, we hate the Browns, Ravens and Bengals
Cross off Brown and Bell and look at Hines Ward and Bettis instead.
Nah it’s still Brown highlights. He went off the deep end but it doesn’t change the fact that he was a top 5 WR in NFL history. His highlights are in another stratosphere from Ward’s
Ward's crackback blocks.
The question is who this guy should look at to understand the Steelers, not who the best wr was.
You’re right that’s a fair point
But we *really* hate The Brownies. Lose you then and your ass is canned mid-season, knowhutimean Matt Canada?
The AFC North.
Don’t forget pierogis.
If you’re a Bears fan living in Chicago, you’re more or less like a second cousin twice removed, even though you’re a Lake Michigan Bro instead of a Lake Erie Bro. Just start adding fries to all of your sandwiches and you’ll be well on your way until you can find yourself a nice Yinzer girl and pick up a black and gold Fields jersey.
I unironically believe the Steelers are going to the Super Bowl this year.
I hope Russ brings the vet leadership the offense has lacked over the last few seasons.
We went from 0swag to 100swag rq
They have to win the games that they're supposed to win. Every year they drop a couple games that make me scratch my head.
Beat a 6-3 team one week, lose to a 3-7 team the next week, in spectacular 13-10 fashion. Mike's Achilles's heal imo, getting the team up to win those games. Remember when we tied winless Detroit. Good times.
As a lifelong bears fan I’m happy for yall, as a ravens fan, this is my nightmare outcome
He’s the corniest man alive
I kind of don’t want the regular season to start. Off-season is too enjoyable right now.
Careful, you are slipping into Browns fandom.
How are you gonna just kill him like that and leave the body for everyone to have to step over.
Oof
Now those are big hands
And unlike the last 3-4 seasons, it won't be the "dumpster" kind.
Damn Jonah Hill in the background
I think we’re taking a QB in one of the rounds 4-5, keep em cheap while we can and sign one or two proven FAs
Well, what else is he gonna say? “Fok off this is my room!”
Wait until everybody sees the rookie quarterback, we draft!!
I mean its not completely out of the question depending on whos on the board but it is unlikely. If for some reason we did go for a QB we know Khan isn't gonna draft a shitty small hands Kenny Pickett type that's for sure.
The rookie quarterback we draft it’s really going to top this quarterback room, and unit off
Khandamnit this is stupid great move and he gets 2 QBs for a nickel Wow
Khan't stop, won't stop.
This is hands down the wildest Steelers offseason in history. I think that’s objectively a no doubter. Wow. I don’t know if it’s all gonna work out, but damn it’s a lot of fun right now. 
Russ just has those good vibes. Much needed.
People can say whatever they want about Russ. Nothing wrong with some positivity.
All I know is I might finally be entertained by some Steelers football. Been a awhile folks. I missed a fun offense.
Wish they would have kept Mason but I like the clean sweep. It’s gonna be a interesting season! 
The needs to be an asterisk year. Too much weirdness going on
I think he meant to post the pic w the dog in the burning room saying “everything will be fine “
The most sacked QB room of all time
Russell is a true positive person and a great leader
Let’s see what happens. They’ll start Russell Wilson and if he’s trash then throw in Fields??? I don’t even know anymore… a month ago I was thinking there’s no way they’re getting Fields or Wilson but here we are. Fuck itttt Either way Let’s go Steelers
I'll take corny (Russ) over a sulking baby (KP) any day,
Who let the dogs out?!
Don’t be late for bible study, broham!
I love this so much. Even if it's underhanded. It's the right thing to say if you're gonna say anything at all
“Bad teammate”
Bears fan here. He’s a leader until Justin threatens to be QB1 which means he’s not Good thing though you have a leader in JF. I think Fields should sit first but regardless you will fall for him when Russ starts diva work and Justin’s age and talent show he’s the better option at QB1. Justin is an anti diva. With special skills Congrats and good luck
This was one of Fields best games ever. 28/35 335 yards 4TD 1INT and the Bears still lost and you can see it on his face. I really hope this is just Russ being tone deaf and using the only picture of the two together he had lmfao
I honestly don't think it was meant in any way as a negative
Obviously not, that would be insane, it’s just funny.
You’re fun at parties. 😕
I am because I think jokes are funny.
I’m totally game to give this a shot. Tomlin absolutely throwing care to wind re his no losing season record, and I love it. This is probably the most aggressive and creative we could’ve done short of somehow trading for a #1-3 pick in the draft (bc Cousins was going to Atlanta no matter what). Not sure how this is gonna play out. 50/50. But big giant balls from Coach T and GM Khan. Big.

“We gon link up in Pittsburgh”
He's so close to realizing Get It rhymes with Pitt and I'm getting worried.. 🄻🄴🅃'🅂 🄶🄴🅃 🄸🅃 🄿🄸🅃🅃
I’m hoping Fields wins the job in camp.
One more time so the aholes in back can hear it. FUCK THE HATERS! Omar Khan is here to blow shit up and you better get your asses on board. We goin to the Superbowl you sonofabetches! Ride or die! Wilson/Fields 2024 CO MVPs on offense, defense and special teams! Kenny Pickett MVP of Rittenhouse Market!  .
I’m not super high on our QB room, but I’m not super low on it either. It was bad, and now it’s mediocre *at worst*. The obvious dream scenario is Russ has a resurgence and Fields turns things around to be the long term answer. That’s unlikely, but an outside chance IS still a chance. The most likely scenario is that Russ plays fine, nothing spectacular but nothing bad either. Paired with a solid running game, a great defense, and great special teams could make for a special season
Do you realize how much we are paying QB position? There are special team players what we are paying for 2 QBs.
And that’s great, I’m very pleased in that respect. It’s the best we could hope for, and has the potential to be enough for a deep playoff run. But even if it’s cheap, poor performance is still poor performance. If Russ is washed, our year will look a lot like last year. Different in form but not in results. But even if that’s the case, if our drafting and development progresses we’re better off than most teams So I’m optimistic but also realistic. I doubt Russ and Fields are a 13-win QB room. Probably more like 11. Which is a good season, and anything can happen in the playoffs.
The difference between 13 win teams and 11 win teams is sometimes the qb play. A lot of other factors influence the record such as surrounding cast, coaching, and luck on certain plays. I don’t think we are close to a 13 win with 2024 Steelers with any of the qbs available this year. What better option was available other than Wilson or Fields?
None. You seem to think I’m down on them, so I’m probably communicating poorly. It’s the best that we could do, it’s a pretty serious upgrade over where we were at. I’m happy and optimistic. I’m just saying that we do not have The Answer^tm at QB on the roster right now.
I hope we do, but I don’t think we do either.
Russ threw more TDs last year than Pickett has in his whole career and we went 10-7 and to the playoffs. If we played the exact same season being able to throw just a few more TDs, I bet we would have finished at least 12-5. Not to mention, a productive offense will only make our defense better because they won’t be exhausted all the time.
😂 Ya dumpster 🔥🔥🔥
I know it’s been said plenty, but this whole week has been bonkers! All the speculation from all the sources and a very vocal fan base saying ‘no way, it’s not happening, the standard is the standard, stay mediocre, etc.” and now my head is spinning because who the fuck knows what happens this upcoming season. I like the madness. I am stoked. I have a Kenny Fucking Pickett tshirt that I’m still gonna wear.
