They suck and until Tomlin is gone they will be nothing more than a .500 team. He should have been fired 5 years ago.

Queen is what Bush was as a rookie, before getting hurt and turned timid. High motor, fast and able to cover. Those guys are typically smaller and not as strong as the more run stuffing LB, that usually get picked on in coverage. The guys that can do both are extremely rare, like Shazier was. They may get that with Wilson, but he was injured so often in college, who knows if that will carry over at the higher impact NFL? For what they paid for Queen, he should be able to do both. When signed many were saying this about him. He was lined up with Roquan Smith, who is dominating against the run and good against the pass. Which made Queen look a lot better, likely doing similar in slowing down a runner with Smith/others cleaning up. Steelers don’t have that guy to compliment. Ravens defense is now worse without Queen though.

Steelers beat the raider’s.
I had it wrong. Good thing I ain’t a betten man!

Steelers making quarterback change for Sunday . Good idea, bad idea? I’m not sure. I don’t think Fields performed badly enough to loose his job as starter. I believe they would have won the game against the Cowboys if it wasn’t for bad clock management on Tomlins part.

Stat wise, hard to tell the difference between Fields and Pickett. Neither seemed to ever be the reason they won a game. With the Jets winning the Devontae Adams lottery, Steelers are likely going to need a QB that can be the reason they win. Not saying Fields can’t be that, but Wilson was brought in to be that and was that for a while. I’d be just fine if he comes in and crushes it.

I'd take Fields 10 tds & 1 int in 6 games compared to 6 tds , 4 ints & 2 fumbles lost in 12 games for Picket anyday of the week. As bad as they have been this season that would be 20 tds and 2 ints compared to the 12 games Picket played 
 
 That is without Johnson also.

How many passing yards past two games? Guy is not winning games. He is a backup, better than Pickett backup, but backup. Steelers gave him a chance. Now they are giving the other backup a chance…

"Stat wise, hard to tell the difference between Fields and Pickett."
 
 I love ya man, but you are sounding like a politican 
 He is a class young man.  Last year we were lucky to (maybe) but not likley get one first down in the first half and not cross midfield until the 3rd quarter.
 
 Go catch some Perch    

 Having the 3rd worst punter in all of football worked out great with Picket.
  Even Bobby Walden avg. over 2 yrds. a punt better for us way back when.
 
 

Overall, I like what I saw from Fields. I think there is promise there. I think play calling was a bit conservative. Inconsistent OL staffing/play may have been the reason for that. I'm very interested to see how Russ does, and how long they give him to shake off the rust.
