This. But i dont get the push back on talking about him. I dont think its abnormal at all. Go to the Packers forum. They have stickies for both Rodgers and Favre that are both active topics.

@SoulfishHawk just wants everyone to get along and to let Russ live in peace.
Nah, I enjoy stirring the pot. He's just a former player. But, point taken. I'll happily bow out of future Russ talk.

The Stealers knew exactly what they were getting when they signed Russell, unlike the Broncos. He fits their approach. Will his health hold up?

I think Russell is hoping for the Steelers D to be a juggernaut where he can win games by being a good game manager, like in Denver's 5 game win streak last year. I'll be following, expecting him to do OK but not All-Pro great. Will be interesting to see how much Steelers have him run.

It’s going to be such a Bears thing, when Fields has a better year than Caleb.

Getting hot!

Russ has shown that he doesnt do well when there's a guy on the bench who he knows can step in and run the ship... or when his HC is toying with the idea.

Looking forward to seeing the two in preseason.

The latest from Steelers training camp, Russell Wilson goes full in individual, 7 on 7, four handoffs in team with no throwing, no seven shots (per Mike DeFabo). We were told Russ suffered a calf injury, yet he couldn't throw, why?

Fields could be the 2nd backup to RCW that earns Comeback Player of the Year....
