Been a Steelers fan since 1974. Dont have to believe in Russell. Just keep believing in my team.
Any Steelers fan that hates on Coach T is not a real Steelers fan and don’t know football period and this coming from a die hard Steelers fan most fans don’t even know who plays on the team or other teams other then there team they like so that what I call part time fans
Try punctuation next time
Always easy to spot a yinzer in the wild
Russ is doing all the right things here in the burgh. Reaching out to the local Boys and Girls Club with donations to their cause from his and his wife's charity. He is at the Pirates games and giving autographs. We have our fingers crossed for sure with him.
I’m going to the game Monday night. I’m just gonna start wearing my Wilson jersey until I run into him.😂
Yeah he has the cameras on every time too
lol thats literally what he did in Denver and what he does. Dude still a scrub.
Russ may not play great on the field all the time
But damn, he is for sure the most picturesque QB a team could have. Positive, bright and charitable
Well that’s exactly what he did in Denver. He went to all the Avs games when they won the cup. His son rocked a Makar jersey. He even went to Rockies games. He visited all the hospitals. Even though Russ is a corn dog and seems like his sincerity is manufactured he does really commit to those things.
Ben had 26 TD or less ten seasons of his career and he is an automatic HOF player. Wilson had 26 TD in 14 games last season. I just don’t understand the gloom and doom predictions. I think it’s mostly people hoping it blows up. If this works out for basically a vet minimum contract there are going to be a ton of long faces around the league lol
If it doesn't work out.....if if if
@@johnnyblazers Justin Fields 😈♠️
@@johnnyblazersIf it doesn't work out, it was still worth it. A vet minimum one year contract with zero draft capital. There's no downside. It's as low risk as a signing can possibly be. I think any team who doesn't have a franchise QB would be stupid not to try
@@jimmorrison9287 I agree. Wasn't my point
@@jimmorrison9287 💯 haters seem to be pissed there is no downside. They are literally playing with house money.
I'm under no illusions of my Steelers' chances this season. If they make the playoffs & Fields learns from watching Wilson at work, that's all I can reasonably hope for. And if Wilson by some miracle guides this roster to the Super Bowl, then you better believe all of Pittsburgh (myself among them) will be singing his praises until the end of time! Then he really will have earned his spot in the Hall of Fame, no question about it! While I am a realist & doubt the latter scenario will happen, I hope to be proven wrong. So we'll see what happens...but it'll be a fun & stressful ride regardless.
Beautifully said mate. Let’s go Steelers 👊🏻 with much love from a Steeler in Melbourne Australia
🇦🇺🤝🏻🇺🇸
I'm not a Pittsburgh fan, but I admire Tomlin. And you guys ar much better off with a double conf and 1 SB winner with the attitude a clearly younger looking Russ is displaying, than the Jets fans are with their diva. Good luck to you, Steelers!
'If they make the playoffs..." pff. Steelers. Tomlin. It's entirely a case of chemistry when they get there.
@@richardgale1287 : Hence why I call myself a realist with low expectations. I highly doubt my Steelers will come within sniffing distance of the Super Bowl. But if (and it's a huge **if** ) Wilson pulls it off, you better believe all of Pittsburgh & most of the league will be singing Wilson's and Tomlin's praises for decades. And for valid reason too
The king of platitudes. Dude should run for public office.
Russ is a positive guy, even while in Denver. He is a man of faith and is not a negative person. I hope he has a good year. He did a lot of community stuff while in Seattle too.
I hate Sean Payton so much that I hope Wilson rocks this season. First time rooting for the Steelers, feels strange.
I cant pull myself in rooting for Steelers.
"Great guy" Sean Payton was an original NFL scab. How low can you go.
Same with me. I used to be a Seahawks fan, but following Russel Wilson I want nothing but misfortune for Sean Payton and great success for Russ. This year will be great for Russ.
Feels weird rooting for Steelers though...
Don’t worry. The Steelers are the greatest organization of all time so they’re easy to root for 😉
Russ will prove haters wrong. 9 probowls 100 career QB rating. 43k passing 5300 rushing 338 Tds 106 int. 39 game winning drives. Superbowl champion
Let’s Weld
Nowadays it's let's code
My offseason hope for the Falcons was that they get Wilson (cheaper than Cousins) and draft Penix (yes, I really wanted that months ago). But I'm glad that he's in a good situation in Pittsburgh. And I will never fault someone for positivity.
All Russ has to do is be as good as he was last season , his team mates will do the rest.
stat wise 100% i think he put up great stats. though watching him play he definitely was the reason the broncos struggled a lot. not the full reason and he did even play good at points, but some key plays he messed up in ways that a vet shouldn't. but if he can fix up those rookie mistakes then i agree he could have a really great comeback years
That sounds plausible.
Russ will prove haters wrong. 9 probowls 100 career QB rating. 43k passing 5300 rushing 338 Tds 106 int. 39 game winning drives. Superbowl champion
@@RobertDavis-vg6uyPeyton Manning used to be awesome too. Players age. He isn’t the same guy.
All you have to do is actually watch the tape and not just look up stats on google.
@@bbb4228 Russ last year on a crappy broncos team had 26 Tds 8 int 3000 yards and 4 game winning drives. Russ had more Tds last year than all the Steelers QBs the last 2 years. Russ will be great in Pittsburgh
Russell ...i believe bro..just show it on the field
Steel Curtain, let's ride!
The Steelers had the sixth fewest 20+ yard passing plays last season with 41, ahead of only the Cardinals, Jets, Raiders, Patriots and Panthers. The Broncos weren't substantially better with 44. However, the Steelers were also tied with the Panthers for the second fewest passing touchdowns with 13 td. The Steelers also had double the rushing tds of the Broncos (16td to 8). Stats don't tell the whole story, but I imagine Russ will be more successful in a more balanced offense that gives him opportunities to uncork it down field and let the run game finish the job in the red zone.
I don't really care about Wilson either way but if there is any chance he makes Sean Payton look like an idiot, I am all in.
Even if he has success, that doesn't really make Payton look bad. Because wilson is playing for pennies in Pittsburgh. He absolutely was not playing to the level of his contract in Denver, and his contract meant that Denver couldn't afford to put a good cast around him.
Sean Payton already makes himself look like an idiot when he puckers up his lips on the sidelines
What an awful comment
@@samuelwallace2782no, broncos are paying his salary.
The sheer number of people who want Russ to fail is astounding, especially since these same people admit that Hackett was in over his head and Payton wanted a QB to fit his scheme versus scheming to fit the QB he had.
I swear the last few months there's this high frequency humm thats been coming out of the mics on set and bleeding into the audio. Its really annoying and wish they would fix it. Come on Mike.
Wow, didnt notice until you pointed it out but it's definitely there. Replying so maybe someone sees this!
Noticed this too
Just don't shoot a commercial of him saying "Steeler's Nation... Lets ride." 😆
His positivity is worth 2 cents. However if he throws 25 TD with 6 int like he did last year then he will be loved as a hero in Pitt
I’ll buy into Rus more than I’ll ever buy into your takes🤣
Russ has a great opportunity. If he brings a trophy to the Steelers he will be a god in that city. It’s there for him to take it. As a Steelers fan I’m pulling for him to show he’s a HOFer.
Don't know if there will be a Seahawks v. Steelers Super Bowl, but Russell and Pittsburgh will stomp the snot out of Denver. Count that!
I want to see the Steelers and Cowboys or Steelers and 49ers in the SB. I’d love to see Russ and the Steelers knock the Chiefs and Ravens off en route to that SB.
The Texans are going to be extremely dangerous this year too. No faith in Cleveland, Cincy, Buffalo, or the NYJ. And no, the Seahawks don’t need going to the SB this year.
Let's ride!
Let's forge!
A lot of the national media is gonna get cooked with all these doom and gloom takes on Russ in Pittsburgh. It didn't work out well in Denver but its like they don't even know his stat line from last year before they start yappin. I don't know about the SuperBowl but Russ gonna take this offense to the next level in any case. That offense desperately needed a strong veteran presence.
THIS GUY IS A MAID MAN HE SAYS WHAT HE KNOWS NOT WHAT HE FEELS HES LOGICAL IN EVERY WAY WE CALL THAT WISDOM LOVE RICH SHOWS
Everything that happened in Denver was the front office fault they hired a coach tryna get a certain QB that qb stayed In GB so u got Russ that coach was bad so u traded assets to get another coach who was into a different qb style than the qb u already paid
Ever heard of commas and periods? Good grief!
Tbh ima raider fan and I wish the best for Russ idk wth happened but he used to slang that thang
The thing that comes to mind when Rich brings up Russ is just how effin bad Peyton Manning was his last year in Denver, just how trash he was, and how a run first offense with a top tier defense and a QB that can just make good decisions and take care of the ball can still find success in this league. Russ does not need to be as good as he was five years ago, because he's joining the best roster he's been a part of since 2012. Now the Steelers' schedule is insane, the AFC North is a gauntlet, but i still think that there are going to be some good results. I'm looking forward to finding out what happens here.
Manning also manned up and admitted that the defense got them to the SB and the win.
Exactly. This may work, and I won’t be shocked if it does. I know one thing tho….it’s gonna be fun & stressful regardless.
Peyton was trash in denver as a SBMVP lololololol youtube is so dumb
Russel Wilson is one of the best cheerleaders in the game.
Steeler Nation, let's Weld!!!!
Don't sleep on Russ. He found himself in a bad place in Denver. And he handled it with class..The guy knows how to win. I'm a Seahawks fan and watched every snap he ever took in Seattle. Ya he comes across differently.. I get that. Give the guy a fair shot and he won't disappoint.
Russ will prove haters wrong. 9 probowls 100 career QB rating. 43k passing 5300 rushing 338 Tds 106 int. 39 game winning drives. Superbowl champion
Steeller fans would be well advised to keep things in perspective! Hoping for good things with Wilson is just fine, but expecting success is just setting up yourself for a ton of grief!
He's drinking Iron City
Yep. They still have ROLLING ROCK back there? 'Was made in Pennsylvania...green bottles.
@@NativeBlackAmericanTv Used to be made in Latrobe PA. No longer the case.
I want to believe! I always believe in my team but boy it’d be nice if they came through soon
I don't understand how this is so surprising. Put last year's Russ on 2022 broncos and the are easily playing for a wildcard. Put last year's Russ on the Steelers and they win that division
Hopeful Russell will bring us a great season. He still has it in there somewhere
like Dak. Hopeful for all the under dogs this season to bring us some games.
I heard Russ pulled up to the barber shop on the Southside. Cool dude.
That's what politicians do.
@@SillyGoose2024 I guess. are you from Pittsburgh? I wouldn’t go down there if were him. LOL
As a hawks fan, Russ has a toxic positivity problem… buyers beware
he just comes across as incredibly phony
@@frankbloom6650 True. Denver is footing $35m of the bill due to Sean Payton's incompetence.
I'm no Russell Wilson fan, but there's no question the Steelers are playing with house money here. Might as well stay positive.
Imagine working in an office. And every morning, a co worker visited everyone desk to say 'Lets go. Lets have a great day. You can do it. I believe in you.' EVERY DAY.
How long would you last?
For me, 3 days tops before i go to hr.
Russ is a good person and a great QB. Shawn Payton always looks like he’s looking for a baby bottle to suck on. I’m a Seahawks fan and I still want Russ to do great this year.
...I'm down for a Steelers vs Seahawks Super Bowl, 20 years after the 2005 one. That'd just add to such a storyline really.
Then go on madden and create it.
@@SillyGoose2024 Fam, that's a good idea!
The way rich talks about Russ you would think he stole his high school girlfriend
Well, there are whispers of Suzy Shuster having drifted close enough to Russ to spark rumors...
Didn’t seem like Wilson or Fields had an offense that played to their strengths on their previous teams.
"Here we go, Pittsburgh's going to the Super bowl"
That's the perfect description of an offensive coordinator's job
ZERO... Dude is a creep. According to Kyle Brandt, "One of the most unauthentic humans I have ever met.".
Russ and Tomlin will be a good fit, I think, because they are both so religious. That's probably a big connection for both of them
We had 27 TD passes in two years. We don’t need much at that position.
Russ is at heart a salesman but sales are going so well lately.
As another Hawks fan, Russel's entire presence is a scripted facade, he is an NFL Ken Doll beholden to no one but his camp and his agent. This does not mean he can't play well, but never equate his positivity to be happiness or his positivity to mean he is passionate about the team he's on. One can only hope he gets his career turned around or we're watching the last year of him being a starter.
@@zenobiakdithers3150 if it came off like I hate Russ that isn't my intent. I just hate that who I thought he was may not have been who he is as a person. When Pete Carrol decides the Defense needs to go easy on you (shield you from valid criticism) you know you have a hole somewhere as a leader of men on a football team.
Remember this is a guy who would not give out his real phone number to his team mates, they had to go through his people.
Your wrong. There is years of Russell Wilson being Russell Wilson.
@@vanessaroberson3246 👍
@@zenobiakdithers3150 Wilson is classic Prosperity Gospel manifesting words into reality.
Some of us have listened to him since 2012... Watched all 4 qtrs of every game he played as a Seahawks (and not just the highlight reel).
His best years were under OCs that Wilson publicly doubted and insinuated were keeping him from 'Cooking' and holding back his personal stats.
Now he has to eat a bit of crow in going back to a run dominant offense and a top 10 defense and play within the rpo scheme.
He'll do fine... Maybe get a Wildcard slot.
Don't get excited... We who have watched also know that he has never won an away playoff game.
I think at least part of it is also that he is a socially awkward goober and comes off as insincere even when he is being legit. And he's not the "dorky, sorta funny, knows their awkward but doesn't care" type, he's the "I totally fit in, right guys??? RIGHT?" type of awkward. His whole shtick and media team feels like a presidential candidate campaign a lot of the time.
Yall need to find something better to do. There is ZERO reason to bash this man the way you do. There is ZERO TRASH talked about all the literal alleged grapists abusers drugs and gun having players. This man works. And nothing else. So you make up drama where there is none. Be better
I think realistically that to believe he will either fail miserably, or be the best qb of all time is severely wrong. This team as a whole is complicated this year. Alot of new guys, new trades, the qb room is not the same in the slightest, and they have a new OC and even new qb coach. Anyone who truly knows ball knows that this will be nothing short of unpredictable. I say this as a Steelers fan
What's with all the negativity Good Lord. Can he not be positive what's wrong with that. People are tripping this man gets so much hate for being a very winning quarterback That BS in Denver was not on him maybe a few with the system being crazy but still I think you will see Russ back in form. I pray God he makes all these haters eat their words
Exactly, name me one team or an individual player who isn't extremely positive during preseason.
He's an easy target because of his unrelenting optimism. I'm a Seattle fan and he can be a cornball at times, but I'm glad he was on our team over DeShaun Watson, Jameis Winston, Ben Rapistberger, etc.
He'll make you eat your words
Right it's so weird that the big complaint is positivity and if it's genuine. Uh yaaa, pro athletes kinda have to be wired to win. Mix that with Christian - we got ourselves a positive guy. So what. Good for him.
I wish Aaron Rodgers would exude the same kind of positivity and eagerness.
Qb stats are meaningless. When teams are behind in games, they throw and get tons of yards. Winning big games makes qbs great. Wilson had outstanding coach, great offensive tools and an alltime defense in seattle. Best comparison to him is jared goff. Can he achieve something like that?
I always hope the best for Russ. I hope he tears up in Pitt.
Is he going to get along with Tomlin? He didn't at the end there in Seattle with Pete Carroll, and he obviously didn't get along with Payton in Denver. They couldn't get him out of there fast enough.
Let russ cook !
Yes, hey mister, get me a quarter pounder and fries😂😂 the interception in sb against patriots still haunts me. Those were great teams.
It’s Last Chance Saloon for Russ, so it really doesn’t matter if his enthusiasm is genuine or not.
Are u mad hes so positive? Even through all the bs? Sounds like it. Lol
Yo rich that koolaid comment got to be racist 😆 anyways go Steelers!
As a Seahawks fan, I can be appreciative of what he's done...
But dang, am I glad I don't have to hear his fake QB talk anymore.
Fake or not, he’s a straight-up baller!!! That’s what I care about.
You want a likable QB who loses or a cringy one who wins?!
I'm no Wilson fan, at all, but don't forget Denver is footing $35m of Russ' salary this year due to Sean Payton's incompetence more than anything. The Steelers are playing with house money. Might as well stay positive.
If Russ doesn't cook, then 5, 10 games into the season, maybe Fields will have worked enough, gotten the playbook, and be ready to go.
Pittsburgh got both guys dirt cheap, and both are better than Kenny Pickett, Mason Rudolph, and certainly Mitch Trubisky.
If Russ is the cook, than let that defense be the oil and that field be the pan. Thank you lord Jesus for Russ. Guide him.
Er, when was Russell Wilson the starting quarterback of the Steelers before?
Technically, given how dirt cheap Rus is this year. Steelers could load up stars on offense all the way to the cap and go all in this year
I guess some people got something to prove…this season 😂🤣😂
What is Wilson saying now? Let’s weld?
It's just hard to figure out where/if his positivity is genuine or not. *shrug* I guess all us Steelers fans will find out with time...
It's in his nature. He named his own son Win. He's just wired to go for the gold.
Do you prefer a QB who has negative attitude?
Russ is going to get it done with Pittsburgh. Don’t be surprised if he’s in the MVP conversation this season.
Russ winning the super bowl would be the most Disney ish in NFL history, or at least since Kurt Warner.
As a Bronco fan...i wouldnt get too excited yinzer fam....to be fair though, i like him paired with Tomlin waaay better then with Peyton...
It’s undisputed for the media. Pittsburgh and stupid, they’re not trying to have no extra drama.
Let's Smelt.. let's smelt.
As a seahwks fan its "kool aid!" I had to listen to russells b.s positivity crap for long enough. Even when the team is going down in flames he talks like that.
So Let Me Get this Straight Richard. You Seem to be Taking The Sean Peyton Side OVER Actual Stats and Somehow Indirectly showing Favortism in trying to Destroy a Man's Legacy on a WORD? Please Explain How It was Wilson's Bad Play that Lead to The Dolphins 70 Point Win.. Or How Come 2 Denver WRs Ran the Same Route during a Game. Please Rich and Every Other Sean Peyton Worshipper Out There Tell Us What has He accomplished Outside of Brees and Don't Say He Developed Brees because He Didn't. He Inherited Brees due to the Chargers changing hands and didn't believe Brees would make it back from his injury. Brees took the Chargers to the Playoffs before he got hurt. We KNOW Mahomes threw 27 TDs in a System that is favorable with Kelce. A Coach that Loves Him and Won a Bowl with 27 TDs. Wilson threw 26 TDs with a Screw Ball Route Running WRs. A New System that ONLY Favors Brees and a Coach that couldn't stand him Not to mention a Oline that was Horrible.. Yet Somehow Wilson defying the Odds is Washed Up and Mahomes Got Beaten by a Washed Up QB. 😁 Please Show Us Where Field's is Capable of Beating Mahomes WHICH is The Point!!!😂😂😂 54 Snaps and the Steelers will have to give up a 4th rounder instead of 6th rounder basically negating their Good Deal.. Just Stupid Thinking Rich.. Love You but Get Back to Facts Not Storyline Creating. Liked You More doing that but everyone sells out
Ah not 54 snaps 51% of all snaps this season. That is decidedly different he needs to play equivalence of 8.5 games
Its insane how much that bald guy from Boston hates the Steelers.
The Steelers O-line might have him running for his life. The success of any team hinges on the O-line and the Steelers have struggled with its O-line for, at least, 2 years. Now they may have 2 rookies starting on it this coming season? O-line struggles? You have no running game because the O-line isn't opening up holes for the backs to run through. Poor pass protection=sacks, incompletes, INT, and a QB on the DL. Poor O-line and you have too many 3 and outs like the Steelers have had for far too long. Too many 3 and-outs= a worn-out defense.
Fan base thinks playoff wins and super bowls are a birth right. Shock the world 2024!
Am I the only one who thinks they have a higher ceiling with fields?
Rich Eisen is the Kenny Pickett of NFL analysis.
I would LOVE to get off Tomlin’s back. Get us a playoff win and I’m off!
Despite being in a good spot, Russ will play the deadliest AFC North in 2024. No "sneaking" into the playoffs, they'll have to barge in there.
As a seahawk and russell fan.. ZERO as far as that goes.. he just needs to be a better then a decent qb like he has most years and Steelers got a good shot. if it wasn't for tomlin era i could almost root for the steelers... im just rooting for the hawks best qb in recent years...
Bros gonna say “Steel got it.” after a win over Denver 😂
With a QB that they paid a million bucks for. That would be unreal. However, then what happens if he takes them and wins the big dance? Then you have a decision, are you paying Russ for more? Are you moving on to fields after an all time high for the last decade? Decisions..
Didn't Russ said the same thing in Denver? 🤷♂️
Rich talks about the Steelers offensive players like they are the Avengers out there. Pickens is good but he's soft and won't block. Everyone else is mid.
I honestly think Hacket and Payton are frauds and Russ will be very good in Pittsburgh under arguably the best coach in the league.
😂
A stingy defence and a run heavy offense… worked well for Russ in Seattle.
What!!! Damn leave Russ alone and let him be himself! Always reaching for negativity. Russ be you unapologetically!
Go Steelers
Sean Payton = CLOWN.... Nathaniel Hackett = couldn't coach a pop warner u9 boys football team. Wilson is looking good he will do great..... LETS GOOOOOO!!!
The stuff was there for Russ in Denver as well. Didn’t work out. Starting to see a pattern for what the problem is…..
It was. Steelers fans will find out exactly what Denver did
How bout we discuss how Payton needs to show he can win big games without Brees as his QB. Talk about overrated, put up or shut up Sean Payton!
They shouldn’t believe a single word coming from his mouth. - Broncos fan
As a lifelong Broncos fan living in CO my whole life, I can tell you that Pittsburgh is making a major mistake.
They shouldn’t, at all. They should but until Tomlin’s approach.
But I’m looking forward to him making Payton look like a clownfish fool.
*WHO RIDE* !?!? ♠️
Wow. Rich Eisen is talking about the possibility of the Steelers going to the Superbowl w/ Russell Wilson. What's he smoking? What a joke.
I still don't understand how media can call Russel Wilson the problem when he literally had the worst head coaches possible two years in a row.
Because he can’t read plays, runs around and can’t move in the pocket, throws up prayer balls where courtland Sutton had to make unbelievable catches. The defense won those games last year, most takeaways in a 5/6 game span. Stop being delusional, watch games and not stats. Y’all are going to be highly highly disappointed
Hall of Fame coach you mean. Two of them threw him on the street
@@PatriotWatchUSA Honestly imo, any coach that loses 20-70 that late into their career has no business being in Hall of Fame talks
@The1Goby so you credit the coach for giving up 70? Then, do you credit the coach for the turnaround the defense made?
Plus, it's one game. One game.
@@johnnyblazersthe only thing more washed then Wilson is Sean Peyton 😂😂😂
