Just coming here to post this. Realllllly like how he plays the game. Dude looks to have "it." He's looking dudes off, pump faking...he's really good.
He's played 9 collegiate quarters, about 1/2 of which were against a 1-11 MAC team that lost to St. Francis. Let's all take a breath.If he continues to progress well, I really want the Steelers to look at drafting him in the 2026 draft, presumably after he declares for the draft after his junior year. Don't let the Pickett mistake scare you off, this guy looks legit.
His calmness in the pocket is staggering to see out of a freshman.

I just hope his draftworthiness is evaluated without any regard one way or the other to where he went to college.I mean yeah obviously, it's so far in the future that it's impossible to predict.
I know that if he ends up legit though, there will be a major push against drafting him because of the Pickett mistake. It's going to be an overcorrection from the "take Pickett because they missed on Dan Marino last time they passed up a Pitt QB", it will be "don't take Holstein because Pickett was a bust when they took a pitt QB last time".
I have zero agenda. But I do disagree with your statements. And I do think Fields will be back next year due to lack of a better option and as someone else mentioned, Tomlin has been dying for an option like him.Man some of you are absolutely miserable
The Steelers had a very logical gameplan of not passing towards Bates and Simmons, who are two of the best safeties in the sport. It ended up working extremely well. Only people with an anti-Fields agenda are going to push the idea that the strategy was based on Fields. Breaking news: teams can make offensive strategies and gameplans to limit the other team's best players. Crazy thought.
This doesn't even say anything about how good Fields is, I think he's a low end starter/high end backup. But some of you really need to go touch grass when it comes to him. And I think we all know exactly who I'm referring to with that.
Based on the past few years, it's super obvious that the Steelers have a major focus of not turning the ball over with their QBs.
Avoiding Simmons and Bates in the middle of the field seems to be much more about that than thinking Fields is trash or something like that. I figure they'd treat Wilson the same exact way if he was starting that game.
"He was flagged three times for illegal formation before being benched."
Holstein = dawg. I can’t remember a Pitt QB being this impressive this early.
Not sure how the Steelers are only a 2.5 point favorite against that monstrosity in Denver. Of course it didn't make much sense that we were underdogs to ATL either.
OUR defense will batter Nix!
Pitt literally has a 2 game schedule this season they play Boston college and Louisville the acc is absolutely dog crap.
Unreal poise for the guy. It's unfortunate he will be poached with a NIL deal, but this team could do some real damage.
Yeah I hope Pitt can put together some type of offer for him, but one of their good players transferring will never surprise me at this point.
Eh, in this era it happens a lot. Dillon Gabriel, JT Daniels, Cam Ward, Jurkovec, Slovis - just off the cuff.Honestly even more than that, I think Holstein can go to a school with much better receiving talent and a more pass heavy game than Pitt. At the same time, how often do players transfer twice in college? I figure it's not super often. And if Holstein keeps being as good as he has been so far, he may leave for the NFL draft after his junior year too.
Unc is garbage so is Clemson@UNC, Syracuse, @Louisville, Clemson, and @bc is a decent schedule lol
We are going to usc. We will probably have a ranked Illinois team in 2 weeks.The irony of a Penn State fan saying another team only has a two game schedule.
Not the way Watt played last week. We're stacked defensively. We're something like 8-1 in our last nine against rookie QB's.This has classic Tomlin let down game written all over it
Tomlin is 0-3 vs Peyton thoughNot the way Watt played last week. We're stacked defensively. We're something like 8-1 in our last nine against rookie QB's.
Historically "you" have played Ohio State and Michigan and no one else, which was the point. And calling Clemson garbage while talking up playing Illinois is some serious spin.Unc is garbage so is Clemson

Sucks we got UCLA and Washington this year
Illinois beat Kansas this season they have Nebraska on Friday nightHistorically "you" have played Ohio State and Michigan and no one else, which was the point. And calling Clemson garbage while talking up playing Illinois is some serious spin.
Yeah and UNLV beat Kansas this season. Clemson would be a substantial favorite over Illinois on a neutral field.Illinois beat Kansas this season they have Nebraska on Friday night
