Smashed Wilson Racquet
So, every once in a while there is a story about a starting quarterback named Russell Wilson that people tend to hear about because it was like a smashed tennis racquet.
For all the good and bad reasons, the Steelers announced on Wednesday afternoon Wilson’s QB designation. Wilson led the Seattle Seahawks to two Super Bowl appearances and years later is looking to re-spark that magic with the Denver Broncos and now Pittsburgh Steelers.
Pittsburgh has fought under a new general manager by the name of Omar Khan and he has compiled decent draft picks but nothing too superstar-like since his promotion. Also, he added Andy Weidl who worked closely with the Eagles offensive line and won some division and championship titles along the way.
The main hire is Arthur Smith. Smith is coming off a firing and critics have been skeptical of his two tight-end systematic formations and playing inside the middle of the field with Wilson. One of Wilson’s main areas of concern.
Wilson cannot run like he is fairly used to. And after the past couple of seasons in Denver, he looks lowly more productive with Justin Fields easily ready to take the throne.

Fields in Steel
Justin Fields was the 2021 11th overall pick. He was sitting in a distant room himself on draft night standing as if he gloriously won the national lottery and bribed to stand so elegantly pleased and arrogant to the notable fact that he never attained a Heisman award with the collection of Ohio State talent surrounded and retired by Alabama in the 2020 CFB title Playoff game.
Fields was drafted by the Chicago Bears. Some attribute his short tenure to horrendous coaching. Can it be safely neutral? Ironically, Matt Eberflus is currently under contract but coordinator Luke Getsy was vocal in establishing a relationship and rhythm with Fields and the now Pittsburgh Steeler managed to compile the most single season rushing yards by any Chicago Bears quarterback with 60 percent passes or low completed.
Not too fault, former Super Bowl champion Matthew Stafford threw over 4,000 passing yards with a 60 or less completion percentage rating in one of three of his first seasons.
Fields claims it is basically a new beginning with the ‘interesting’ dynamic of veteran Russell Wilson and the newbie. Fields believes his ceiling has not come close yet and it is rough to tell based off his maturity but under coach Mike Tomlin and the Steelers defense, this might be the ice breaker.
The Steelers will run a physical offense next year and Russell Wilson will have a heavy load. Expect Fields in mighty steel.
