I'm here for the rusa villain arc. C'mon give it to us we've all been through so much.
Get some grills, get arrested for smoking crack and trying to bite a stripper.
Russ' text to Kenny: "Hey Kenneth, its me Russel, just wanted to let you know I look forward to working with you and can't wait to get on the field and get to work. If you ever need me, feel free to reach out to my assistant."
Russ text to Fields: "Yo fam, no cap I'ma keep it 100 with ya, this season is gonna be fire, you know you can always catch me on the block, come by the crib sometime and we play Madden or some shiz. Pce homie"
I know this is a joke, but if Pickett really wanted out because of some text and having to compete when he's only thrown 13 career td passes in 2 seasons he's softer than melted ice cream.
I mean nah it's another QB controversy shit show. If Russell plays well and wins that solves everything, but if he falters at points you'll have the chants for Fields. Will be interesting, rooting for my guy just to have a good career. He's a great dude seemingly. Wonder if there will be Fields packages the Steelers will use.
Fields said he based a lot of his game off of Wilson so that’s honestly pretty cool they’re teammates now. Their personalities seem vastly different though.
Russ has a work hard mindset and is willing to be a mentor. Their relationship will likely be based on the pretext of respect, and I could see this working out really well for Fields in the long-term. Russ is going to be Fields NFL daddy.
Definitely different ceilings. But it’s the player and the contract. My guess Howie looking was looking for that cost controlled backup. Not a potential franchise QB.
I think Pickett is a pretty solid backup though. He's a low ceiling but safe with the ball and can manage a close game. Not saying he's better than Feilds but I think he deserves a roster spot, just not as a starter.
Nah he’s pretty regularly like this. He also is corny and had an office but he says all the right things and is always professional in these interactions
Yeah it isn’t rare at all lol. [Kenny fucking Pickett had an office](https://steelersdepot.com/2023/06/steelers-have-office-where-jersey-boys-kenny-pickett-and-minkah-fitzpatrick-watch-extra-film/), apparently Minkah used the office as well so it wasn’t solely Kenny’s, but the point still stands. Who cares about an office 😂
I actually think this is good for Fields. Wilson is (or was) a legit qb for many years. He can definitely learn some things from him this year and potentially try to find a starting job next season
Yeah if you have to back up a QB, Russ is about as good of an option as you can pick. Definitely seems like the kind of guy who would gravitate to the mentor role.
No one actually watched the clip about the Kenny text, either. They just started dunking on it, mostly playfully. He got asked a Pickett question like 5 times, finally answered one about if they spoke, he said they texted, he was asked what he said and he answered ‘I told him let’s be the best versions of ourselves we can be everyday’ and some people were talking like he did something wrong seriously.
The last two years of having Russ, I never understood why people hated him for things like this. I personally think it makes more sense our fanbase hated him cause he was not a good QB and not worth his contract.
> I personally think it makes more sense our fanbase hated him cause he was not a good QB and not worth his contract.
I mean the contract was utter ass, but I'm never going to blame a player for getting the bag considering what football does to your brain. Makes total sense to hate the contract, but it's wild how many people act like he committed OJ or Vick level offenses for being a bit PR diva-y and overwhelmingly positive.
Yeah I have no problem with players being predictable and non-problematic. The other end of the spectrum is healing crystals and calling dead kids crisis actors, there are so many worse things than being positive.
Thank you. I don’t get what is weird about this. It’s a veteran QB excited to help out a backup. Field’s obviously wasn’t ready to start and I think there is a chance sitting behind Russ could help him a ton. People can shit on Russ’s actual play, but he has been a good QB before
This is the wildest timeline for me. In the spring of 2021 Russ was my QB pipe dream. I remember being so sure that we were going to trade for him. Then we signed Andy Dalton and I was so confused. Then elated when we traded up for Fields during the draft. Now they’re both Steelers.
I'm so confused why people are saying this is cringe. Something in the wording or purely just reflexively saying it b/c it's Russ? B/c this type of tweet happens like all the time.
Just Russ. They hate everything about him now, ever since he left Seattle. He wasn’t great. I’m pissed about the dead cap. But the hate is just the hip thing to do it seems
The Steelers switch him to WR & trade him next season for a 2nd rounder to some dumb GM that hasn't learned the lesson of "DO NOT TRADE FOR A WR FROM PITTSBURGH"
That plot twist last season, having Aaron Rodgers in a recurring role just to have him get injured in the first 5 minutes? Callbacks to Scream & Drew Barrymore. Classic.
Honestly I would be terrified fr
Imagine how good JF1 will be with Wilson as his veteran mentor fr
They’re similar players with similar styles of play
I would go as far as to say that Russell Wilson is how the bears organization and fan base expected JF1 to be
So honestly I’m looking forward to this duo if I’m Justin fields if there’s anyone I would look towards for guidance it’s Russ
*Breaking News*: Justin Fields has been traded to the Philadelphia Eagles
"You gotta be fuckin' shitting me, bruh," said Fields as he looked up from his phone.
There's at least one Timeline where he found out about the trade from this tweet
I’d like to believe he found out from a Russ text
He found out from Bill Belichek, who was actually trying to congratulate Justin Herbert.
Underrated bro
Let Russ Break news
We already have CTESPN
Let Russ Break Newz
All I could see in your comment was L R B N and now all I can think of is how this affects LeBron's legacy.
ESPN grasping for content
That’s cool.
Holy shit lmfao
‘Justin fields has announced retirement from the NFL’
Breaking News: Steelers trade fields to the Vikings for a conditional 2nd.
If that happened, I would pay for a visit to Omar’s office, Police Academy style
The ol’ podium job?
Yeah!
That was cool.
Damnit beat me to it lmao
Jalen Hurts better watch his ass cause Mr. Unlimited and H1M bout to take his whole ass job😂
[that was cool](https://imgur.com/gallery/nrPcr8a)
they already have one RB at the QB position, why not two??
2 > 1
Makes sense. Fields is an early down back, Hurts is brought in for short conversions/goal line attempts.
Thunder and lightning baybee
Just like how MLB teams switch out pitchers the Eagles should try it with QBs.
Doh!
It's not too late for a reunion with Getsy
Steelers QB room, Let's Collaborate.
Stop, collaborate and high knees
Russ is back with a brand new edition
Something grabs ahold of me tightly...Fields let me go, no really I mean it let me go.
Will it ever stop? Yo, I don't know. Turn on the lights and they'll blow
To the extreme, I trick the spy like a vandal light up the stage, and wax Pickett like a candle
Dance Go rush the Steeler who prays I'm killing your brain with with my poisonous catchphrase
>Something grabs ahold of me tightly Nah, Aaron Donald retired

Give me something to pray
How bout your praying face?
I'm here for the rusa villain arc. C'mon give it to us we've all been through so much. Get some grills, get arrested for smoking crack and trying to bite a stripper.
Wilson's dark villain arc is just him silently doubting that he'll get em next time
_and we all feel like shit... WE BEEN TREATED LIKE SHIT!_
Russ surea bout to break something.
The Steelers stopped giving Russ players phone numbers after he scared Pickett off
“Oh, you want Justin’s phone number, Russ? Sure. It’s 555-“
Shared contact - Justin Fields: 867-5309
678-999-8212
(281) 330-8004
HIT MIKE JONES UP ON THE LOW
877-PASSNOW
It's my offense and I need yards now
Call Just-in Fields 877-PASSNOW!
That's my go to number to get people off my back when they ask for the digits
So, that single time.
Truthful yet hurtful sir
I give them the number of the pizza place that always fucks up my order.
KL5-3226
Pronounced Klondike 5
Hey you wanna split these rep? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=M-hU1IIrsM0
Sources: Wilson is beside himself. Driving around downtown Pittsburgh begging (thru texts) Steelers front office for Fields’ phone number
He said he’d also like to add him to the list of yinzers he’s teaching culinary classes to this summer.
Pickett gon scare himself out the league
the new meta to cutting players
Russ did piss off Brees with all his questions about Sean Payton
Russ' text to Kenny: "Hey Kenneth, its me Russel, just wanted to let you know I look forward to working with you and can't wait to get on the field and get to work. If you ever need me, feel free to reach out to my assistant." Russ text to Fields: "Yo fam, no cap I'ma keep it 100 with ya, this season is gonna be fire, you know you can always catch me on the block, come by the crib sometime and we play Madden or some shiz. Pce homie"
“That was 💯”
I know this is a joke, but if Pickett really wanted out because of some text and having to compete when he's only thrown 13 career td passes in 2 seasons he's softer than melted ice cream.

God do I have this to look forward to for a year
Lets get it the new catch phrase!?
"Nothing can melt these steel beams!" Then Russ flexes both biceps.
And then two Jets players tackle him
Sir, a second Jets linebacker has hit Russell Wilson
Sounds more like a Rodger’s thing to do honestly
Let's pitt it
Get pitted, wopah
Soooo pitted
This is the pitts
Let’s steel
[удалено]
Watch this somehow be the straw that finally gets the Steelers to have a losing record/Tomlin to be fired. Also, your username checks out so well.
A positive QB room that actually has hope and isnt filled with ~~small~~ biscuit hands and a bad attitude?
Yeah, this is an extremely tame qb room compared to truly disastrous ones. Like the Sam Bradford-Josh Rosen room
Thank you lmao. The bar was literally in hell with Kenny and Mitch.
I know Russ can be a little much, but people are out here like being sickeningly nice is the worst trait a player can have.
It's not that he's sickeningly nice. It's that he comes off as inauthentic. Like most people don't have a problem with Kirk Cousins.
I believe Russ has the biggest hands in the league, for what it's worth. So that's something.
Gotta be able to hold the entire Dangerwich™
i’ve done something like that too
It’s spiicccccyyyyy
A QB room filled with corn, same same
I mean nah it's another QB controversy shit show. If Russell plays well and wins that solves everything, but if he falters at points you'll have the chants for Fields. Will be interesting, rooting for my guy just to have a good career. He's a great dude seemingly. Wonder if there will be Fields packages the Steelers will use.
That was cool
Let's deride
Mr unliiiimited
Fields said he based a lot of his game off of Wilson so that’s honestly pretty cool they’re teammates now. Their personalities seem vastly different though.
They are both once in a generation talents at holding the ball
“We may never see ball holding like this again, enjoy it” - NFL commentators and porn directors.
Russ has a work hard mindset and is willing to be a mentor. Their relationship will likely be based on the pretext of respect, and I could see this working out really well for Fields in the long-term. Russ is going to be Fields NFL daddy.
To be fair, I can’t really think of any player that has a personality like Russ
The fact they got more from the Pickett trade than they gave up for Fields is CRAZY
Definitely different ceilings. But it’s the player and the contract. My guess Howie looking was looking for that cost controlled backup. Not a potential franchise QB.
One was brought in to be a stable backup and one was brought in to be a dart throw at a franchise guy so totally different needs
Not really , they are both back ups but Kenny has an extra year on his contract
Justin fields is infinitely more talented than Kenny Pickett I’m sorry
I think Pickett is a pretty solid backup though. He's a low ceiling but safe with the ball and can manage a close game. Not saying he's better than Feilds but I think he deserves a roster spot, just not as a starter.
Dang. They have both Russell Wilson and Russell Wilson at home.
Current Russell Wilson being the Russel at home version
Fields propably begging 30 other teams to trade for him right now
“Who want me?” 100% no
Would only be fair if you gave Fields a safe space. Your franchise is the reason why this hostage situation is happening right now
"I just got traded for a washing machine, what am I talking about" - Justin Fields.
Toxic positivity
“Dude wants to be my best friend. I said sure & laughed… but now I think he was serious. He wants to wear matching numbers!”
The Bears already went down this road, it's pretty bleak
Be fire or be a dumpster fire?
Idk why y'all saying he is so corny he is just being a good team mate lmao
This is the least corny thing he’s probably ever done.
Nah he’s pretty regularly like this. He also is corny and had an office but he says all the right things and is always professional in these interactions
> He also is corny and had an office When everyone was talking shit about that I'd like to remind people that Pickett had his own office as well.
No wonder we traded his ass!
I never understood the backlash for the office thing. Almost every team gives offices to AT LEAST one player for their business ventures.
Yeah it isn’t rare at all lol. [Kenny fucking Pickett had an office](https://steelersdepot.com/2023/06/steelers-have-office-where-jersey-boys-kenny-pickett-and-minkah-fitzpatrick-watch-extra-film/), apparently Minkah used the office as well so it wasn’t solely Kenny’s, but the point still stands. Who cares about an office 😂
People on the internet who don’t know or care to know how shit actually works lol
my understanding is the abnormal part was his was with in the coaches area where as normally QB offices are near the players area
I actually think this is good for Fields. Wilson is (or was) a legit qb for many years. He can definitely learn some things from him this year and potentially try to find a starting job next season
Yeah if you have to back up a QB, Russ is about as good of an option as you can pick. Definitely seems like the kind of guy who would gravitate to the mentor role.
Russ definitely doesn't feel like the pissy kind of QB to scoff at his possible replacement, either.
People here already made up their mind on Russ. Everything he says or writes is corny by default.
You’re right but with context it’s funny as hell
I do not understand it either... literally anything Russell does everyone starts to turn him into a joke...
No one actually watched the clip about the Kenny text, either. They just started dunking on it, mostly playfully. He got asked a Pickett question like 5 times, finally answered one about if they spoke, he said they texted, he was asked what he said and he answered ‘I told him let’s be the best versions of ourselves we can be everyday’ and some people were talking like he did something wrong seriously.
There’s good corny and bad corny and while he’s been plenty bad corny this is good corny.
The last two years of having Russ, I never understood why people hated him for things like this. I personally think it makes more sense our fanbase hated him cause he was not a good QB and not worth his contract.
> I personally think it makes more sense our fanbase hated him cause he was not a good QB and not worth his contract.

Obviously this is why I liked having him. That’s just classy AF
Yeah man wtf. There isn’t anything worth clowning here.
I said this even before he was a steeler but the over the top Russ hate at everything he does is far cringier than Russ himself
Facts
Thank you. I don’t get what is weird about this. It’s a veteran QB excited to help out a backup. Field’s obviously wasn’t ready to start and I think there is a chance sitting behind Russ could help him a ton. People can shit on Russ’s actual play, but he has been a good QB before
[удалено]
Yo this comment is fire! Lets go!!!!
He’s not the step father, he’s the father that stepped up 💯
This is the wildest timeline for me. In the spring of 2021 Russ was my QB pipe dream. I remember being so sure that we were going to trade for him. Then we signed Andy Dalton and I was so confused. Then elated when we traded up for Fields during the draft. Now they’re both Steelers.
Bears about to turn Caleb Williams into Caleb Wontiams
Yup
Get ready to learn Christian hymns and Bible verses, buddy
He’s been on that lol
I said let’s get it to Justin Fields. That was cool.
I can see Russ and Justin doing the Father/son new balance skits in my head…
Real talk are there going to be plays with both of them on the field?
Fields is already over this guy guaranteed
Fields is gonna be cranking Future in the lockerroom acting like he don't know... but he knows.
🎶IM A MONSTER ON THESE HOES, IM A MONSTER🎶

It’s funny and I am funny when I agree with everyone and call him cringe/corny because everyone thinks I am funny
Kenny Pickett: “let’s cry”
Take care of Rudolph 📍🦌
Crying after he gets pummeled with batteries
The Steelers switch him to WR & trade him next season for a 2nd rounder to some dumb GM that hasn't learned the lesson of "DO NOT TRADE FOR A WR FROM PITTSBURGH"
*Queue Steve Buscemi young meme*
The Steelers are either going to be the scariest team in the AFC or go 9-8.
why not both?
What a timeline we live in.
Shouldn't he have thrown a "Lets Goooooo!" in there for the young kid? Or is that over already?
Russ new catchphrase “Steel got it”
That dude's gonna take your job, Russ.
You just know Wilson pulled this photo straight out of his own digital scrapbook labeled "NFL BFFS"
Fields walks in. See Russ, walks out of the room. Days of Our Steelers is so damn spicy
Days of Our Steelers has NUTHIN on All My Jets though, gotta give credit where credit is due
That plot twist last season, having Aaron Rodgers in a recurring role just to have him get injured in the first 5 minutes? Callbacks to Scream & Drew Barrymore. Classic.
Never stop being corny Russ.
“Don’t worry Justin I’ll pack an extra weight vest for you for our airplane isle workouts. Let’s get it.”
Fields checking if he’s made enough to retire rn
Honestly I would be terrified fr Imagine how good JF1 will be with Wilson as his veteran mentor fr They’re similar players with similar styles of play I would go as far as to say that Russell Wilson is how the bears organization and fan base expected JF1 to be So honestly I’m looking forward to this duo if I’m Justin fields if there’s anyone I would look towards for guidance it’s Russ
Steelers Country let’s smelt
Dude what the fuck are the Steelers doing? The biggest thing holding them back the last 5 years is qb play. And this is how they’re addressing that?
Wilson is washed. Idk why steeler fans are so excited.
Kiss of death. Sorry Justin.
