MR. Unlimited Not Starting Again in Week 2

[GemCity]

Probably 3rd world inspirational speaking, or charity work, in countries that don't closely follow NFL football. He has enough money that he can sit on his ass the rest of his life, if he wants too. Just needs something to keep his mind occupied.

I could definitely sit on my ass. That whole “..if I hit the lotto I’d start a business” thing doesn’t resonate with me.

However, sitting on my ass does.

No high knees?

Who said anything about Justin Fields? Also, Kyler may be the same HEIGHT as Bryce Young, but their build is nothing alike.

Supposedly Kyler weighs 11 pounds less than Bryce at the same height.

Supposedly Kyler weighs 11 pounds less than Bryce at the same height.

It’s all about where the weight is and body type, and how the weight is distributed. Not to get too nerdy and technical, but a great example is Devon Witherspoon…185 and hits like a truck. Bryce just looks super slight to me, his upper body, shoulders and neck aren’t conducive to taking hits…at all. Just my .02 cents

Last I saw, he was calling Dan Orlovsky a hack for criticizing Russell's Steelers preseason performance.

This was on Twitter. I can't share as the account uses his real name.

It’s on Twitter so it’s public. I guess that means he doesn’t mind people knowing his real name?

Steelers about to new 3-0 and fields is playing well. Think Wilson just lost his job

Yep. John63 is in mourning.

Russell Wilson=Career Over

He never offered up the fact that he was John63/deandc on Twitter. He just went after my anti-Russ posts using the same unmistakable idiosyncratic typing patterns ("Ahh" and others).

Lot of other circumstantial evidence confirms the link, but he made it beyond obvious. My Twitter handle does not mention my .NET account in any way, so he didn't know it was me.

If he'd put it out there publicly, I'd share. But this Twitter account is just his real name and face, and he uses it mostly for his work.

One hilarious tidbit I will offer up is that he does YouTube instructionals. On the one I watched, he clicked Google and had obviously forgotten to clear his search history and it was full of.. really really interesting types of XXX searches.

Fields was impressive. Russ went from cooking in 2020 to now, 4 years later, cooked.

I think the Steelers have to collapse miserably for them to pull Justin. Either that, or he has to get hurt for Wilson to see the field.

Fields is 22nd in QBR.

Fields is avg less then a TD thrown a game.

Fields is averaging about 175yds a game throwing the ball.

He has 1 rushing TD.

I am sorry, that is not impressive. If this was Russ, you guys would be laughing at him. Russ is probably done but Fields is not playing good.

All of that and they still prefer Fields to Russ.

Hmmm...

They havent asked Fields to throw the ball a ton. Hence the low yards and TDs. Theyve been content with a ball control, low risk offense that allows him to grow into the position under Smith's tutelage.

Getting caught up in Fantasy stats ignores the fact that Fields is doing exactly what the Steelers want him to do to become somoene they can consider the future of the franchise at the position.

Everybody in the league knows who and what Russ is. His ceiling is established. Fields's ceiling is not.

Justin has completed 73.9, 65 and 78 percent of his passes. And his 245 yards passing last week is an improvement over the prior 2 weeks. He also has only 1 int.

And Yes, if Russ was putting up those numbers now it would be a problem because hes a 12 year vet. But, he actually DID have numbers like that on occassion his first 2 years in the league when, like Pittsburgh and Fields now, the Seahawks didnt need him to be the man to win.

Isnt one hurt? Hmmmmm.

I mean you are biased as all get out too. Idc anymore as Russ is not my QB but some of you act like he cheated on you.

Least this is a fair take.

Except i know factually how much Russ would be clowned on for this.

Here lets make a bet.

I will say Russ>>>Fields for a career. $50 Bet? I dont see Fields ever doing what Russ did in his prime.

Another 'hate' accusation?

Then there are 31 other teams that are biased so much they didnt care to bring him on before he was injured... for free? And i understand that Russ didnt want to just go anywhere because he wanted a chance to start and win games. But there wasnt even a list of teams (other than the Raiders - and that was rumor) who were even intereste din kicking the tires and seeing if there was a path to bring him any other way... again... for free.

The fans on the Steelers forums dont even care to have him start. Are they biased too?

Fact is that his time toward the end with Seattle and his 2 years in Denver proved what a lot of folks who watched him play here already knew. He was limited and benefited from being in an offense where he could do what he wanted.

Nathaniel Hackett wasnt going to let him do what he wanted. He's an OC and was a HC with his reputation at stake.

Payton also wasnt going to let him just run jibberish and when it failed or wasnt sustainable, be the one to take the fall for his scheme not working.

And his OC now also isnt going to put hos job on the line for a dude that cant or wont run half the playbook, even if what he can do on occassion is great... because its not sustainable.

But Pete cared more about letting what worked out ok and resulted in a win rule than he did about whether or not things ran correctly. And... thats why he isnt here anymore.

Russ can never start again because none of the HCs and OCs in the league care to give him a shot and criticism of him for what now EVERYONE knows is true will be seen by some as biased judgement...

No way bro. Russ had 10 years of being to able to create his own stat log, ignoring reads, ignoring plays and throwing the ball whenever he wanted to whoever he wanted.

What he did with that was remarkable.

But I will bet you that Fields helps them to more wins and starts more games than Russ this year.

I said weeks ago that Russ might not even start the season as QB1 ... which was true, but not the way i expected.
