For the record... Fields was not benched.. Tomlin named Russ the starter on day1, he just got injured... now he is healthy

[ariea.devalois]

Tomlin had already chosen Wilson over Fields in the preseason. I don't know why you're surprised. No one else is.

[G_East]

You specifically said Mike Tomlin will have a losing season. Besides that you also said Russel was gonna suck I can’t forget smh

[ositofreitas]

People forget that Steelers lost 3 starting offensive lineman for the SEASON. Two rookies starting and both playing fantastic.

Longtime Seahawk fan, so I'm biased. The abject hatred of R.W. shown by the talking head intelligentsia is something I've never seen before. 10 years of stellar play with Seattle meant nothing. All he's ever done is play his heart out and NEVER quit. Now Florio, this guy, and all the rest are hopping on his bandwagon. Fans-let's form our own opinions and not let these guys do it for us.

Russ is headed for Canton

Best put some respect on his name humans

Gone!

From a Ravens fan view, do not underestimate the Steelers. Great defense, great special teams, proven quarterback, reliable back up, and most importantly they never beat themselves with turnovers. They grind out games by taking care of the football and forcing turnovers with an elite pass rush.

[devinray]

Colin just had to remind everyone about what he was “right” about before admitting what he got wrong

[fungidungie]

Russell Wilson is one of the best ever. He will get a lot better yet with Pittsburg. George Picken is special.

Steelers are going to surprise some of these guys. They got guys like Sutton coming back and Fitzpatrick hasn’t even made any huge plays but that time is coming. Russ is throwing dimes he had some drops and called back tds last game. I think he missed only about 1 or 2 throws out of 28 he looked really sharp. Some of these throws are falling in the bread basket. People just aren’t ready to believe Russ after Payton fiasco but Sean had him in shotgun trying to be Brees. I think you’re watching something special here

[daveyrolland]

So was Sean Payton wrong about Russ ? Colin always swinging on Sean Payton 🥒

[Spliffkage]

This dude has been trying to get Tomlin fired for years now. I know he's mad AF thw steelers are doing so well. I never understood the Tomlin hate

[peaceofkake]

The Steelers are the perfect location for Wilson to re-boot his career but a lot of people in the media didn't want his career being re-booted for personal reasons as they desperately wanted Justin Fields to be crowned as the franchise QB for the team. They tried to declare the competition over even though Wilson hadn't even played a down in a regular season game yet. The media knew it was a perfect location for Russ and it bothered them because they don't like Wilson on a personal level so they tried to bully Tomlin out of making the switch but Tomlin does what he wants. If you were to put some truth medication into the media, most of them would admit that they knew that he would do well.

Russell Wilson is a very intelligent QB1. Not sure why his body of work with the right coaches was slept on. Thank you Colin! 🎉

[jasonhuynh]

People forget we were 10-7 last year with a 5-1 record against our division rivals with 3 bad quarterback play in Kenny Pickett, Mitch Trubuisky, and Mason Rudolph. Getting Russ and fields was a major upgrade at qb but people didn’t see it and thought Steelers are gonna have a losing record, nice analyzing Colin

[rynosquest]

“I was wrong but I still don’t think Russ is good enough to win a Super Bowl”… is this dude brain dead?😵 Russ has a ring, been to two, and is in TOTAL command of his offense. The team is energized. I’m not even a Steelers fan but there’s no doubt Russ is good enough to win a championship 🤦‍♂️🤦‍♂️🤦‍♂️

[daa_]

Due almost had 30tds with a coach tryna sabotage him and y’all tried to convince us he wasn’t good last year yea aight…

[stanjones]

The arrogance of these guys like Cowherd. You think you know Wilson and what his ability is . Wilson has qbr of 100.1 3rd highest in NFL history and some of these clowns believe he may not make the hall...get the hell out of here.

[OutTheMudProductions]

Sean got 'his guy' and Nix shows promise. Nothing wrong with having a preference.

The way it was went about was disgusting however. Colin listened to Sean's clear and obvious bias even though Russell's numbers were better than over half of the league.

I am a former Broncos fan because of it.

[coldmillreport]

Since the year 2000 defensive head coaches have 14 Super Bowl wins to 10 by offensive head coaches……..you keep beating this drum Colin but it’s exhausting and you’re just wrong
