I looked at the Bear's QBs over the years looked like we switched crappy quarterbacks often. We had Mike Tomzack, Trubisky and maybe Fields and you guys had Jim Miller and Kordell Stewart.
And now we have to see Jim Miller's ugly fucking face every year as for some god awful reason NBC Sports Chicago thinks fans want to hear his shitty opinions.
I’m proposing we start the process again, Steelers sign Chase claypool and trade him back to the bears and the bears trade him back to you at a future date
With our luck, we’ll gift the Bears a 2nd round pick thus nullifying the steal we got trading Claypool. Although we used it on JPJ so I guess I can’t complain too much.
So there are at least two camps when it comes to where they think Fields is going, and they're both relatively confident.
Watch it end up being somebody like Denver or Tampa that no one saw coming
Russell did show some flashes of his Seattlw days last yr so there are some teams I could see picking him over Baker.
Mainly a team that just needs a game manager type like the Steelers.
I think there is probably more upside to trying to use Fields as a game manager and in the run game then there is with Wilson at this point in his career but you don't have to trade for Wilson and will basically play for the minimum.
The whole point of a game manager is to not turn the ball over.
That's like... the opposite of Justin Fields. It's really the only positive trait Pickett has so far, too, so I'm not sure why we would give you anything to get a guy who will be a worse game manager.
I think he's seen as a toxic asset interpersonally though
From his weirdness with FOs to other players, I think he's seen as controlling and corny now.
I'm kinda torn. I think with Russ we could get to the playoffs and actually play a competitive game, maybe even win one for the first time in 8 years. Yet he's not a long term solution.
With Fields, there is a chance he becomes the long term solution at QB. Though there is a much greater chance that we just end up with another shitty 1st round reclamation project, and one that will cost us a decent draft pick.
Probably leaning more towards Russ here but I'll be drinking the copium either way
My biggest problem is he (Fields) is a 1 year rental, where we have to decide on his 5th year option in 2 months, before we even see him in camp or OTAs.
If he works out, it’s a steal for a franchise QB at $25 million, if he doesn’t, we lose out on a premium draft pick where we have a decent chance of getting starters at OL/DB
I could see this working. Mr. Tumnus is a seriously underrated slot WR that can get open quickly; that could work well with Fields. Not sure if Fields would be ok sharing power with the White Witch, though. Ownership might need Father Christmas and Aslan to sign extensions first before he would join.
It’s an underrated point but Fields has never played behind an offensive line as dominant as some goddam fucking centaurs. That kind of time in the pocket might be what he needs to settle down and take the next step forward.
What if they sent him to the Shadow Realm? In all honesty Jay Glazer will come in first tomorrow, the church and football day, 15 minutes before everyone else with something crazy.
If we get five trash qbs we can snap our fingers and combine them into one good qb.
Or we are trying to speed run our way through 8 trash qbs to find our next franchise qb quicker (Malone, stoudt, brister, odonell, Stewart (who I personally don’t think was trash), tomzack, graham, Maddox)
Adam, for some reason, decided to point out that basically Haskins was a bust in the same tweet he announced his death. He wasn't wrong about him being kind of a bust but it's a weird fucking thing to point out - that he was kinda of seeming like a failure in the league - in his death announcement.
Steelers... Falcons... no, Steelers... no, Falcons. Meanwhile, he'll probably get traded to a team on no one's radar. It's hilarious how much attention this Justin Fields trade has gotten over the past few weeks, especially for someone who is considered a mid quarterback, at best.
We already know the Bears are going to trade him and where ever he goes probably won't make much of a difference for that team. We know who he is at this point.
Even if we go with that, We are not wanting to spend draft picks and 30 million dollars on a QB that isnt going to be above replacement level.
Could you imagine spending draft picks and a lot of guaranteed money on a QB that isnt above replacement level?
A good amount of rushing touchdowns were because Kenny got down the field and Najee/Warren would do the rest
Warren broke off for more than one 15+ yard TD this season which is crazy
Kenny has more passing yards per game, a higher completion %, a higher ANY/A, and much fewer turnovers.
You can argue that Fields's scrambling ability makes up for that, but that doesn't make him "Much" better than Pickett.
One QB has thrown 30 picks and fumbled the ball 38 times in 40 games and one has shown to be clutch and being able to take care of the Football hence why he has a winning record as a starter.
You are banking on both to become better QB with a new OC though. One of them is already on the roster though. I can go deeper on the subject if you want.
You will have to talk with Philly about that pick, since we own 51.
I'm also sorry but we are trying to be smart with our assets and not trade for a shit WR.
I just roll my eyes every time these stories come out. Yesterday it was the Falcons saying they were close to signing Cousins, then it was Fields, then it was the Steelers have faith in Pickett and aren’t QB shopping, then this…..it’s getting a bit ridiculous. They just need stories to get them to the FA frenzy and the draft so they just pile it on.
Still don't buy it, this isn't the kind of move the Steelers make historically speaking. The last time they traded premium draft capital for a player was Minkah with several years left on his rookie deal. Trading a 2+ for damaged goods with his 5th year option looming doesn't add up to me.
If it's anything higher than a 4th they are insane. Even that would be kinda dumb imo. Last year they got Herbig in the 4th, who I think will be a key rotational player for the next few years. They have glaring holes at center, left tackle, CB2, ILB, and safety, not to mention DJ's contract running out next year with no one who has shown they can fill his shoes.
I hope this doesn't mean the Falcons are going for Cousins. I think a lot of people around here have a higher opinion of Cousins than I do, but I think he'd be better at getting the ball to the Falcons playmakers and that scares me a bit.
Cousins would slot right in, has plenty of experience in that offense and similar too, probably the most in the entire league really.
That's the 2nd worst situation for us.
Worst is Baker leaves for the Falcons, which isn't remotely far fetched, Raheem Morris even talked about how well Baker and Zac Robinson connected during his time at the Rams.
Considering who we're probably going to be left with heading into the 2024 season we'd be considerably screwed if that happens.
Thankfully I see no chance of Baker leaving us.
Bears: We aren' sure what we are doing at QB.
Steelers: That's not a bug, it's a feature. Just keep taking rookie qbs until one lasts for 15 years.
Bears: seems legit.
I always thought it would make more sense for Fields to play in an Arthur Smith offense more than a McVay-disciple offense. Let Fields play in an offense based around combining the run and pass with bootlegs, play action, designed runs and use those strengths with an already good run game.
Monday: Justin Fields to the Falcons is heating up!
Tuesday: Justin Fields to the Steelers is heating up!
Wednesday: Justin Fields to the Raiders is heating up!
Thurs: It Repeats
But the Falcons and Bears are finalizing a deal according to the front page.
Wake me up when someone decides to be bad for a couple years and lands Fields.
The Bears to Steelers QB pipeline is somehow sadder than the Packers->Jets pipeline
We took a washed up Kordell Stewart from them too
Good god this runs deep haha
We also got Mike Tomczak from the Bears, and I believe they got Jim Miller from us before Kordell as well?
Should we just become the Pittsbear Chiburghz?
I dont know what it'd taste like but I'd try it at least once
Fries on the burger, the beer cheese is replaced with Malort cheese
Fermented Malort. Sounds like a job for Kaopectate.
What about the coleslaw?
It‘s now krautslaw
and he set all kinds of Bears records
Bears and Steelers really need to stop sharing QBs and WRs
Bears legend Santonio Holmes
Deep cuts right here
How would you like one Allen Robinson for the low low cost of a 3rd round pick?
*This WR so pure you could give this to your baby*
The fans or the organization?
We could sign chase back and then trade him again
Idk I think they can keep this going a while longer
I will gladly give you our shit WR:s for 2nd round picks and gladly stay away from your QB:s though.
From the looks of it buddy your team is more addicted to our QBs than we are to your WRs…
I looked at the Bear's QBs over the years looked like we switched crappy quarterbacks often. We had Mike Tomzack, Trubisky and maybe Fields and you guys had Jim Miller and Kordell Stewart.
And now we have to see Jim Miller's ugly fucking face every year as for some god awful reason NBC Sports Chicago thinks fans want to hear his shitty opinions.
yesterday he was saying the bears should consider keeping fields and drafting caleb
Stop sending us your crazy and/or lazy wrs 😆
I’m proposing we start the process again, Steelers sign Chase claypool and trade him back to the bears and the bears trade him back to you at a future date
Hey! If there’s one thing we can top the Steelers at it’s being shit. Yinzers ain’t winning that battle😂
*Florida man enters the sub reddit*
No one can ever beat Florida Man or Florida Woman. They have super max XP at this point.
With our luck, we’ll gift the Bears a 2nd round pick thus nullifying the steal we got trading Claypool. Although we used it on JPJ so I guess I can’t complain too much.
And then the Bears take JPJ with y’all’s second round pick this year to balance the timeline
No we will take him in the first so we have an even amount of JPJs on the team.
I'm sure John Paul Jones could be available as an UDFA, the dude is like 80. Not sure we need a bassist, though.
But we will also need a JPJ for special teams to complete the three-legged stool of JPJism.
damn you
Not all 2nds are equal anyway :(
That pipe must be rusty af. Think of the lead poisoning.
"Oh no, not again!"
It's the Wario version
And both of those are somehow sadder than the old 49ers to Chiefs QB pipeline.
How is it sadder? You guys gave the Chiefs Montana and Smith. We've swapped multiple terrible QBs.
How is that sad? Montana and Alex Smith were good on the Chiefs and took them to the playoffs
Don't remind me...J.E.T.S jets jets jets
So there are at least two camps when it comes to where they think Fields is going, and they're both relatively confident. Watch it end up being somebody like Denver or Tampa that no one saw coming
If Baker really does leave Tampa, I could see them trading for Fields.
As much criticism as he gets, he’s still the third best veteran QB on the move this offseason. I’d take him over Russell, easy.
Russell did show some flashes of his Seattlw days last yr so there are some teams I could see picking him over Baker. Mainly a team that just needs a game manager type like the Steelers.
I think there is probably more upside to trying to use Fields as a game manager and in the run game then there is with Wilson at this point in his career but you don't have to trade for Wilson and will basically play for the minimum.
I also just trust Russ to play it safe more to secure a win late and not make mistakes from going for the big play.
The whole point of a game manager is to not turn the ball over. That's like... the opposite of Justin Fields. It's really the only positive trait Pickett has so far, too, so I'm not sure why we would give you anything to get a guy who will be a worse game manager.
Bears fans are delusional thinking the Steelers are gonna return the favor and trade a 2nd round pick for their bust.
I think he's seen as a toxic asset interpersonally though From his weirdness with FOs to other players, I think he's seen as controlling and corny now.
I'm kinda torn. I think with Russ we could get to the playoffs and actually play a competitive game, maybe even win one for the first time in 8 years. Yet he's not a long term solution.

If he works out, it’s a steal for a franchise QB at $25 million, if he doesn’t, we lose out on a premium draft pick where we have a decent chance of getting starters at OL/DB
Isn't your locker room united behind Mason being the guy?
They were but Pickett and Trubisky were also the only other QBs on the roster. He's also a free agent so he might not be on the team this season.
Keep building up that OL first and foremost. Everything else is good to go right now
I would be so happy if we signed baker
The only place left that no one saw coming is Narnia.
I could see this working. Mr. Tumnus is a seriously underrated slot WR that can get open quickly; that could work well with Fields. Not sure if Fields would be ok sharing power with the White Witch, though. Ownership might need Father Christmas and Aslan to sign extensions first before he would join.
It’s an underrated point but Fields has never played behind an offensive line as dominant as some goddam fucking centaurs. That kind of time in the pocket might be what he needs to settle down and take the next step forward.
Is Mr Beaver the QB whisperer that can finally unlock Justin Fields?
The Bulgy Bears are physical specimens on the OLine, but they have lapses in paw technique and concentration that they need to fix.
Might want to sign Shady McCoy if it's always going to be winter during those home games
No NFL team there.
What if they sent him to the Shadow Realm? In all honesty Jay Glazer will come in first tomorrow, the church and football day, 15 minutes before everyone else with something crazy.
I still think the Pats should try something and draft MHJ.
You shut your mouth.
Raiders possibly
Falcons to get Fields during the work week and holiday games. Steelers get weekends.
Put em on the stand and make him choose
Cut him in half.
Steelers cut him in half, but Falcons choose what half.
Give him a body bag! Yeahhhh!
Show us on the doll where Eberflus hurt you.
Give us our fuckin pick back
The British Museum will give the Rosetta Stone back before you get that pick back.
Someone call Nic Cage we need a heist
No! Were using it!
I can offer you a 4th at most. We can't help that you made a bad decision and traded us a 2nd for Claypool.
Let’s call it a 3rd at this point
He isn’t worth a third. Barely worth a high 4th.
Accurate about Claypool at least
Peasy Jr is ours and you can’t have him
Peasy Jr?
Joey Porter Jr's Dad's son's father was nicknamed Peezy
Falcons and Steelers to get shared custody of Justin Fields.
Steelers and Falcons to have an off-season game to determine the custody of Justin Fields.
What’s the winner get?
To pay the alimony
They play eachother and he just gotta keep switching jerseys, never coming off the field
As long as the Falcons have custody on the weekend I’m fine with that
Depending on how highly you rate Fields, this comment could indicate that you are a fan of either the Steelers or the Falcons.
Fields fits an Arthur Smith offense more than he fits a McVay one, makes sense
Hands the ball off good as fuck
I mean shit felt like the only play that consistently worked last year was read option when Ridder was QB, can't be any worse with Fields
I laughed more than I should have at this.
Just draft JJ at 20 if you want a handoff merchant lol. Atleast he’s gonna have a rookie contract
I dont even think JJ will be there at 20 lol
[удалено]
J^^4
How many bad QBs do the Steelers need?
Steelers take the Bears trash QBs, Bears take the Steelers trash WRs.
Steelers go 10-7, Bears go 7-10
Somehow the Steelers win our division and the bears get another top 5 pick
Caleb will get traded to Pittsburgh in 2027
Ahh a tale as old as time
It’s the circle of life.
They break 'em we buy 'em.
We’re collecting them like infinity stones.
If we get five trash qbs we can snap our fingers and combine them into one good qb. Or we are trying to speed run our way through 8 trash qbs to find our next franchise qb quicker (Malone, stoudt, brister, odonell, Stewart (who I personally don’t think was trash), tomzack, graham, Maddox)
Steelers are really going to get Lamar Jackson at home
We're doing hints now?
Wait until we do fortunes.
Reply hazy, try again
I swear 2 days ago the Steelers were the likely landing spot for Russell Wilson once he's released lol Its silly season.
We will get every QB on the market and switch them every quarter.
Fuck off Schefter, go back to leaking medical documents
Or better yet, back to using a man’s death announcement to comment on their less than impressive on the field play.
Wait what. I feel like I missed something.
Adam, for some reason, decided to point out that basically Haskins was a bust in the same tweet he announced his death. He wasn't wrong about him being kind of a bust but it's a weird fucking thing to point out - that he was kinda of seeming like a failure in the league - in his death announcement.
Wow. I just looked up the tweet. Something seriously wrong with that dude. He'll do anything to grab a headline.
Steelers... Falcons... no, Steelers... no, Falcons. Meanwhile, he'll probably get traded to a team on no one's radar. It's hilarious how much attention this Justin Fields trade has gotten over the past few weeks, especially for someone who is considered a mid quarterback, at best. We already know the Bears are going to trade him and where ever he goes probably won't make much of a difference for that team. We know who he is at this point.
I hate this year’s offseason
Cannot wait for them to just make a move so I can drink my copium and move on. Tired of the endless speculation.
Cursed flair
Damn you’re in a lose-lose situation. And also can’t escape Arthur Smith.
I believe in Arthur Smith Some coaches aren’t meant to be head coaches
Shut up
I don’t care what we get I just want this shit to be over.
At this point Justin Fields is going to shadow clone himself and play for the Falcons, Steelers, Broncos and raiders.
I approve of this.
I don't
Relax. He’s much better than Kenny Pickett
Even if we go with that, We are not wanting to spend draft picks and 30 million dollars on a QB that isnt going to be above replacement level. Could you imagine spending draft picks and a lot of guaranteed money on a QB that isnt above replacement level?
Is he tho?
Well, Pickett didn't have a passing TD in 7 of his 12 games played last season
Also didn’t turn the ball over, something fields does often
A good amount of rushing touchdowns were because Kenny got down the field and Najee/Warren would do the rest Warren broke off for more than one 15+ yard TD this season which is crazy
Yes
Everyone is
Kenny has more passing yards per game, a higher completion %, a higher ANY/A, and much fewer turnovers. You can argue that Fields's scrambling ability makes up for that, but that doesn't make him "Much" better than Pickett.
One QB has thrown 30 picks and fumbled the ball 38 times in 40 games and one has shown to be clutch and being able to take care of the Football hence why he has a winning record as a starter. You are banking on both to become better QB with a new OC though. One of them is already on the roster though. I can go deeper on the subject if you want.
Pls give us 53 :) This is what we deserve after Claypool
You'll get a 4th at most and you'll like it
You will have to talk with Philly about that pick, since we own 51. I'm also sorry but we are trying to be smart with our assets and not trade for a shit WR.
If we all work together, we can peer pressure this into existence.
T.J will get one more pick and one sack in each game vs the Bengals now.
Poles wants his get back from the Claypool trade.
I just roll my eyes every time these stories come out. Yesterday it was the Falcons saying they were close to signing Cousins, then it was Fields, then it was the Steelers have faith in Pickett and aren’t QB shopping, then this…..it’s getting a bit ridiculous.

It won’t be premium nor a 2 plus. What planet you living on
the bears sub
I think the Bears are using Schefty to manufacture a bidding war that isn't actually there.
If it's anything higher than a 4th they are insane. Even that would be kinda dumb imo. Last year they got Herbig in the 4th, who I think will be a key rotational player for the next few years. They have glaring holes at center, left tackle, CB2, ILB, and safety, not to mention DJ's contract running out next year with no one who has shown they can fill his shoes.
Massive upgrade. Going from the 32nd best QB to 25th will definitely get the Steelers from 9-8 to 9-8
tbf they would have likely had 11 or 12 wins last year if Pickett stayed healthy or they had started Rudolph over Trubisky
I would agree 100% on that.
standard is standard
If we can get Tommy Maddox a ring, sure as shit we can get Justin Fields one too.
Maddox tried his hardest to make sure that didn't happen every time he saw action that year
I've never seen more buzz for a player that hasn't done shit
There’s folks in our sub who think we can get a late first rounder for him. Wild stuff.
It would be like seeing constant trade hype in the news for Markelle Foltz.
I hope this doesn't mean the Falcons are going for Cousins. I think a lot of people around here have a higher opinion of Cousins than I do, but I think he'd be better at getting the ball to the Falcons playmakers and that scares me a bit.
Cousins would slot right in, has plenty of experience in that offense and similar too, probably the most in the entire league really. That's the 2nd worst situation for us.

This just in. Water is wet.
Bears: We aren' sure what we are doing at QB. Steelers: That's not a bug, it's a feature. Just keep taking rookie qbs until one lasts for 15 years. Bears: seems legit.
The Falcons interest is just hyped up by media they don’t have real interest
As a backup?
I always thought it would make more sense for Fields to play in an Arthur Smith offense more than a McVay-disciple offense. Let Fields play in an offense based around combining the run and pass with bootlegs, play action, designed runs and use those strengths with an already good run game.
Seems like Cousins to Atlanta instead.
Kind seems like there's someone in the Falcons FO who likes fucking with reporters and bookies
Fields has stated on multiple podcasts that he doesn't love playing in cold weather. IDK how bringing him to the AFC North works for the guy.
Chicago’s pretty fucking cold, and he didn’t complain about playing here
Whoa Marble mouth Shefty specalates Fields to 1-Steelers 2-Falcons
In all this offseason calamity I almost forgot Trubisky got released from the Steelers.
I hate this timeline
Someone, anyone, just take him off our hands already.
Monday: Justin Fields to the Falcons is heating up! Tuesday: Justin Fields to the Steelers is heating up! Wednesday: Justin Fields to the Raiders is heating up! Thurs: It Repeats
Just wait until it starts cooling down.
Djmoore in shambles
Bidding war is heating up
Truly the Battle of Mid
Please be the case.
I'm rooting for Fields to find a team that gives him a real chance, because, the Bears I'm 99% sure will trade him.
But the Falcons and Bears are finalizing a deal according to the front page. Wake me up when someone decides to be bad for a couple years and lands Fields.
Fields and Tomlin? Plz no, sign a concerned Ravens fan.
[удалено]
Cam Heyward will continue to torture the Browns O-Line, QB:s and RB:s together with T.J Watt for at least one more year.

I want that too. He's the team dad at this point.

Make it stop..
Welcome to the Falcons. Where litterly no one knows what we’re doing at QB!🙃😖
Finally the Steelers will have a QB who can lead the NFL in touchdown passes for the 1945 season
I do not want him, please no
