Not the best sign that coming off an Achilles tear Kirk Cousins is Pittsburgh's best option!

 

Eh, the dislike of Russ has become a meme at this point that exaggerates how bad he is now. He did fall pretty hard from at one point being one of the best QBs in the league, but come on man he’s still at least an entire tier above Pickett lol

 

Sure, but as that tweet said, they should be aiming for a Super Bowl, not a 1st round exit

 

Thank you king, much love

 

I don’t think the difference would be that slim. First round exit is where they’re at WITHOUT a quarterback. They beat the Ravens twice and already made the playoffs with THIS roster lol. literally the Pittsburgh Steelers are a “just add water” team rn

they don’t need to overcomplicate it, signing Russ to vet min is the best bargain option they’ve had at QB since Ben retired and… bargains are pretty much the only way Pittsburgh acquires quarterbacks lol

 

Lmao this is the perfect Russ descriptor

 

Pittsburgh trading for Fields is the easiest move in the world, they deserve whatever comes from this Russ nonsense.

 

Remember when the Broncos roster was considered by many to be playoff-ready and then they acquired Russ but didn’t even have a winning season?

 

oh no

 

I respect you king @Dinkleberg

 

I do, but part of that is players like Jeudy being way overrated because people are still clinging to their draft narrative; and another factor is the Steelers defense is WAY better than the Broncos & would never give up 70 points in a game lol

 

Thank you king

 

Is the Steelers roster that much better than the Broncos roster that the Steelers would actually win a playoff game with Russ?

I don’t think so

 

Like Russ’s offense in Denver was still capable of putting up 20 points. That’s basically all Pittsburgh needs to win like 12 games lol cause they hold most opponents under 20

 

Pickett / Rudolph / Trubisky are just THAT BAD they can’t be relied on to score more than 14-17 even in an offense that does have weapons. The fact they went 9-8 with THAT is insane lol

 

Steelers defense is another year older, can’t count on it to be the same in 2024

 

It’s relative. The Broncos were not a playoff team without Russ. The Steelers are.

 

The Steelers gotta want more than 20 points c’mon man lol

 

I’m just illustrating how little of a push they need to where they can win more defensive games without having to score a lot of points.

 

Russ to Pittsburgh seems pretty likely. Smart? Naaaah

 

hell yes

 

And just being realistic here, who actually thinks the Steelers are spending big FA money or trading up in the draft for a QB? It’s against Rooney’s religion lmao. They were happy pre-Ben to keep cycling in bad quarterbacks until they got lucky to draft a HOFer outside the top 10, and they’ll do the same shit after Ben. Signing Russ to vet min is the most Steelers move I can think of

 

If only there was a great scheme fit for Arthur Smith on the market for cheap.

 

Just don’t think Russ to Pittsburgh would move the needle for them at all. He stinks
