He has a better blocking line over there that gives him more time. When Fields has to think quickly, that's when he goes to hell.
Pittsburgh's blocking line happens to include James Daniels, whom Poles let go over a mere 8+ mil per year, in favor of his series of pet failsons Lucas Patrick, Nate Davis (11 mil/yr), Coleman Shelton, Ryan Bates, Cody Whitehair...
The Steelers offense is in bottom 3rd of NFL thru 3 weeks. Fields has been managing games
Fields thru 3 games
55-75
518 yds
2 TD
1 INT
2 fumbles (Neither lost)
The Steelers have given up just 26 pts thru 3 games... The Defense and soft schedule is why they are 3-0
"soft schedule" my butt. Pittsburgh just beat San Diego and Justin Herbert while the Bears lost to the Indy D and Anthony Richardson. Talk about really "soft". The Texans that throttled the Bears subsequently got thumped by Sam Darnold-led Vikings 34-9. The Titans are Titans.
