How do you bench this

  1. As a Bears fan, I am shocked…shocked to find Justin Fields in a quarterback controversy.

  2. He completed one pass on his 2 touchdown drives combined last week, I’m pretty sure.

    This dude is not a quarterback, but they also aren’t benching him.

  3. Bro he threw for 6 yards on 3 scoring drives this past weekend. You do it because he’s pretty useless as a passer.

  4. On PAPER it’s good, or at least 2022 Danny Dimes-esque, not explosive but also not terrible. But if you watch the games…

  5. Imagine getting blown out by the colts and making the cowboys defense look good.

    Imagine having a defense that gives up
    10, 6, 10, and 13 points in those four wins

    Imagine Fields winning a playoff game for Pittsburgh. Because I can’t. That’s why you bench him. Also…look at the back half of the Steelers schedule. It is not easy.

  6. Thats like 220 yards a game passing and rushing combined, if you take off the colts swiss cheese defense hes averaging 190 yards a game

  7. Sub 200 passing yards in 4/6 games (3100 pace). Steelers are bottom 8 in yards per game. That’s probably how. He has cleaned up his mistakes which is good, but let’s not act like he’s been anything more than that.

  8. Excellent example of why stats are only part of the story, he absolutely does not pass the eye test.

  9. Easy. You be Mike Tomlin, then you say “Justin, you’re hitting the bench this week. I’m feeling… DangeRuss.” 😎

  10. This must have been made by a yinzer.. same arguments they made 2 years ago when they argued that Kenny was the next ben..

    He looks good on paper because the rest of the team is fundamentally sound.

  11. A few reasons you do that. 1. He’s not actually a good QB, he’s just cut down on major fuck ups (which, to his credit, is essential). 2. You want to see if your other vet QB still has it, since he’s more of an actual QB in every sense of the word. 3. (and this one probably is the most crucial) you have to send a lot less over to the Bears if Fields plays <50% of the years snaps

  12. Justin fields is the next coming of Kordell Stewart LETS GET IT this guy is gonna be good as long as the Pittsburgh running game and defense are the very best in the league and can carry him to homefield in the afc championship game. Hopefully he won’t throw 3 interceptions!!

    Edit: Do I put /s here?

  13. Oh hell yeah we get to see Mr Unliiiiiiimited take three sacks every series. Steelers fans are gonna be begging him to do drills on the tackling dummy after one quarter of football

  14. “Stats are often for losers. It’s comfort food when you’re taking a loss.”-Mike Tomlin

  15. How can you not Justinfy playing Russell if he’s available? He’s going to cook right? Ask Marshawn

  16. Going to be funny when the Jets beat the Steelers when Russell Wilson starts. Does Tomlin pull Wilson at halftime if the Jets are leading? or does he sacrifice Wilson’s ego to absolute misery?

  17. HES NOT BENCHED

    him and Russ are both getting first team reps this week, Tomlin says he’ll name a starter closer to the game

  18. This is smart from Pittsburgh. Let Russ prove his worth and absorb all the hits and save the youngster. Let him take this one in from the sideline

  19. You know what, I’ve always lauded Mike Tomlin and his achievements, so I have to respect his decision. even if its a dumbass decision.

  20. Honestly I’d be over the moon if I woke up and somehow they replaced my teams qb with Fields.

  21. Personally, I hope Russ throws 4 picks in the first half. Give me Justin Fields all day!
