LA football is going to be so bad this year. The Chargers and Rams are both going to be bad. 

I think the Chargers are obviously in transition. The Rams will still have a potent offense.

Why not.  I think it makes sense. 

That would be an interesting situation. The fans would be clamoring for Fields the second Wilson screwed up. Also, Pittsburgh would have to decide very quickly if they wanted to pick up the fifth year option or not. It just seems like a very toxic situation.

I think Wilson will play reasonably well for the Steelers and will earn a contract to play for someone else in 2025.  Tomlin can detoxify Fields who will be ready to start in 2025.  You know as well as I do, Tomlin and the FO won't care a fig for fan opinion.

But you have to pick up his fifth year option by May 2. So, if Wilson is playing well, then Fields doesn’t play. If he doesn’t play, then you committed to his fifth year without ever seeing him on the field. That will be at least 22 million.

Yeah, it's somewhat of a gamble, but I do think Tomlin is the guy to see that it works.  Arthur Smith will work up a Fields package of plays and get him on the field.  At any rate, he needs a year to get the Bear stink off of him.

I just don’t think that you do him or Wilson any favors by putting them in the same locker room.
