Bitty 2.0 Posted March 17 Share Posted March 17 I really like what Pittsburgh is doing, Signing Wilson and trading for fields to sit behind him for two years, not a bad move at all. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Outside of that he’s free to walk. Doubt he’d resign in Pittsburgh to sit behind Russ for another year, he’ll probably look to go somewhere he has a chance to start.

Fields is not a starter and everybody knows it. He was traded for a 2025 6 round pick, that’s almost nothing. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It’s a weak QB class next year if he flashes in Pitt someone might give him a chance. I mean I don’t think Darnold, Stidham, Minshew, Daniel Jones etc are starting caliber players and yet they’re all #1 on the depth chart Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Honestly, Williams subplants more than half the QB starters in the NFL Stidham, Jones and Darnold could all be #1 on depth chart but could backups by Week 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Minshew had 3,305 / 15 TD / 9 INT. Again, I'm assuming you didn't watch much Indy last year? Minshew is the definition of a check down merchant / game manager, he has no arm to push the ball down the field. Shane Stiechen is one of the best play callers in the league so he found a way to make it work but their offense was limited because of it. I mean AOC had 12 TD in 10 games and Minshew had 15 in 17. You assume wrong, I saw quite a few Colts games and yes, Minshew based on last years’ games would be a big improvement over O’Connell and of course Garoppolo. It seems like you didn’t watch the games and just went on the stats maybe? Now, obviously O’Connell could improve of course but based on last years play it certainly would be a big upgrade to even average. That would have won three more games last year at least. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In their 8 losses he averaged 178 yards | 58.2% comp | 6 TD | 7 INT | 4 fumbles lost Dude is 15-22 as a starter And Shane Steichen was able to mask a lot having him check down and getting the ball out of his hands quickly. When he threw the ball in under 2.5 seconds: 1,951 yards | 68.7% comp | 12 TD | 2 INT When he threw the ball after 2.5 seconds in the pocket: 1,354 yards | 50% comp | 3 TD | 7 INT Edited March 17 by NYRaider Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He’s a big upgrade over last seasons QB play for sure - though I’m not saying he’s a franchise QB of course and we all know he’s just a bridge guy. O’Connell was better than Garoppolo and Minshew is better than O’Connell last year - this season remains to be seen and we may even have a nice shiny new rookie even 😀 Do you think Minshew is not an upgrade??
