OT: The Pittsburgher Thread: Dont panic, they are 2-0!

[WickedWrister]

Wow panties are in a bunch today over absolutely nothing.

Fields has proven he can at least be a average QB, no more or less. AVERAGE that's it.

You called him garbage all offseason, why should I trust your judgement now?

No one is doing that, no one in here is saying "Justin Fields is a good starting QB". People are just saying he has played well.

Even in a best case scenario, he's likely only a mid-tier starter that might be on the fringes of the top-10. And that's a super optimistic way of looking at it. If you're going to put Fields on a standard of "if he's not Patrick Mahomes, he's not playing well", literally any QB this team is going to have for likely the foreseeable future is not going to be "playing well" in your eyes.

And yes, I don't even mean that Patrick Mahomes comparison as a hyperbolic representation of what you're arguing. That legitimately seems to be your argument here.

That's not at all my argument, but I'm tired of trying to get it through to you.

Have a good night.

Ugh

Can Tomlin complete a single sentence without using a sing song cliche?

Also weird thing about Fields -

He got a really good S2 score and is the highest scorer in the NFL on the AIQ's test for receiving and retaining information. Per the testing, he shouldn't be the "just too slow" guy he was in Chicago or early here. And I saw that a few weeks ago, and kind of shrugged and filed it away, but it does make me wonder that much harder if his problem wasn't really frail confidence and they can clean him up and do the miracle.

I think it was tanked confidence, and the reason I say that is because of the progression we have seen here. Every single week he seems to get a bit ballsier. That Austin hit up the seam I think was a big break through for Fields. He's firing balls through windows. 88 dropped a really great one.

This dude is so wildly talented that someone almost needs to tell him "Your 50% is as productive as most QB's 80%...just stay within these confines and don't do too much."
