Shit we could have done that .. đ±đ±đ± Maybe the GM kept his word that he was going to do right by Fields? IDK man. I just hope that this team is done with 8 and his demoralizing ass a lot sooner than later. |

Good for the SteelersâŠthatâs how you do it. Get 2 potential starting QBs for $5mil total and it buys you another couple years to locate a QB.
We are paying $52mil for 2 similar QBs.

The trouble with Fields this year is the trouble with DJ in 22â.
If he plays well youâre gonna have to pay him. Yeah you can tag him afterwards but that Pitt team has pieces and an amazing coach. So if he plays well in 24â, you tag him in 25â and he plays well again, youâre paying him $60 a year probably (accounting for 2 years of QB inflation).
Maybe by then heâs worth $60. The comp for him is low because youâre renting him for a year.

When I saw this I was pretty poâd we didnât do it. Iâd rather give up a 4th, 5th or 6th round pick for a QB that possibly still has a lot of upside rather than pay a known scrub in Lock. Let Fields and Jones duke it out for the starting position or if Fields starts and plays well, keep him in and franchise him next year. It would have taken a lot of pressure off of drafting a QB this year and possibly next year.
Again, not giving up on Schoen yet but this was another huge miss along with Waller and every move heâs made with the O line (so far).

And Rooney, he said it best and wants to win. âWe've had enough of this," Rooney said, via Brooke Pryor of ESPN.com. "It's time to get some wins; it's time to take these next steps." |

These are the things that annoy me unless they asked Fields as the Giants asked Williams where he wanted to go why aren't they in on stuff like this.
Giants have a really good chance of being the odd man out with the QB situation that has 4 solid 1st rounders and had 2 pretty good options in the secondary market in Wilson and Fields.
I like the trade for Burns but he like Thibs is not strong against the run and a QB should have been a top priority the last couple days the Viking and Steelers made sure they were gonna have the best options possible for their franchises to fill the most important position on the field and in sports.
If they come away with Daniel Jones and Drew Lock at the end of this offseason cycle thats a problem especially the way they willing to be aggressive and trade for an edge who is good but not top 5.

If this were Gettlemen or Reese after Minnesota did there pre draft prep and now the Steelers come in and take the 2 best options in the secondary market in Wilson and Fields giants need some wake up drops our pryor GMs would be on a spit right now being roasted. |

Low risk.. High reward. The Steelers whose biggest flops are our greatest hits.. Prove yet again why theyâre playing chess with their pieces.. As we are still stuck on go fish with ours. Two players that arenât making jack shit while Denver and Chicago are still licking their wounds. Pittsburgh is holding all the cards while two players battle it out for supremacy.
Wilson who is at the twilight of his career.. is playing on a one year deal looking for that last extension. Fields who has a fifth year option looming over their head, wonât have it picked up with a crane. So another player who will be playing for a new contract. That makes two players who are polar opposites on the field that have the same goals off it. The Steelers are banking on the competition will bring the best out of them.

My brother and several cousins and schoolmates are Bears and we've been talking all since mid to late season how crazy they would be to get rid of Fields and especially for Caleb willim   if that's who they select, watch how they'll be regretting both Ways him over Fields and him over Jayden Daniels...... |

I guess he means getting back to getting close to and to SB's..... |

The moral to the story
OSU QBs = Mediocre
Troy Smith
Art Schlichter
Terrelle Pryor
Craig Krenzel
Cardale Jones
Bobby Hoying
Dwayne Haskins
Kent Graham
Joe Germaine
Justin Fields
John Borton
Dave Leggett
Tom Tupa
1 Joe Burrow
That is 7.7% success rate.

Just look how they looked with bums at qb last year lol and still almost made the playoffs. I'm banking on them to do big big things this year. You talk about the meaning of super motivated and chips on the shoulder............... |

The moral to the story OSU QBs = Mediocre Troy Smith Art Schlichter Terrelle Pryor Craig Krenzel Cardale Jones Bobby Hoying Dwayne Haskins Kent Graham Joe Germaine Justin Fields Joe Burrow John Borton Dave Leggett Tom Tupa Joe Burrow is mediocre? He was LSU though, he didnt do anything at Ohio St. How about CJ Stroud though? Until he came up last year, I would have agreed. Fields isnt that good. He is just an exciting athlete like Kyler Murray and Daniel Jones. |

Pittsburgh is an example of a well run NFL franchise, what the Giants were under Wellington Mara.
Their worst seasons are pretty much better than the Giants best seasons the last 10 years. They seem to never have a bad year, typically don't have top 10 draft picks every year like the Giants, and still win.

They seem to never have a bad year, typically don't have top 10 draft picks every year like the Giants, and still win. agree and this move for Fields is foresight to the 2025 draft in which their are few, if any, QBs. Pitt now has two QBs to chose from. and Philly, they took Pickett and theyâll see if he further develops. They always seem to have a backup plan. Our pathetic Giants backup plan was a kid who lives at home, calling the Broncos QB coach and getting Pugh off the couch. Ridiculous |

What big contract are they taking on with Fields? As cdngfan said, the one you give him if he plays well for you. In our position, whatâs more risky, taking an unknown QB with the 6th overall pick (or giving up future draft assets to move up) or giving up a 4th or 6th round pick, starting Fields (which he most likely would) and if he plays well keep Jones on the bench which prevents him from getting his injury clause (which I think is ~25 million if he gets hurt) and tag Fields in 2025 which will probably cost ~40 million? Iâll take the chance with Fields, if he doesnât play well this year we lose a 4th round pick at most, if he does, we potentially gain a franchise QB. I also think thereâs a decent probability DJ will get hurt so if Fields did play well and Jones never saw the field, the franchise tag would only âpotentiallyâ be 15 million if you think Jones would rob the Giants one last time which I do. Iâm not saying Fields will be anything more than a backup but I would risk a 4th round pick over paying Lock and if he does do well then we save a 6th overall risk pick (possibly more) on drafting a QB this year or next. I get the whole QB on a rookie contract thing but I also know how many QBâs turn out to be busts. I would take a 4th round pick in Fields for a test drive and draft a WR with the 6th. If he doesnât work out, get your QB next year which we may be doing anyways which would also be dumb at this point IMO since we only have Jones and Lock who we are certain suck and now Jones is a legit injury risk. |
