Unless Russ has more mobility left than I think he does, I don’t expect it to look very good. Russ holds the ball and likes to throw it long. Their offense isn’t built like that. I actually think a Dalton or Flacco would be a better fit for Pittsburgh because they are more likely to get it out fast.

The offense certainly hasn't been built like that to this point - but it's at least worth considering that that was intentional based on their quarterback.  Not saying I know that for sure, but we'll find out if Russ actually starts this weekend.

I don’t think they had much of a chance to build an offense that suited either of their quarterbacks as both quarterbacks kind of fell into their laps in the offseason.

I’m not sure what the fuck they are going though. They drafted a WR in the 3rd round and don’t even dress him.

Did they participate in training camp?

Come on man, you can't be using that as an excuse in week 7.  They had more time than Jayden Daniels and the same amount of time as Sam Darnold did and they look pretty good.

The Vikings have Justin Jefferson and Jordan Addison. And a highly competent offensive mind at HC. Pittsburgh has none of that.

I’m saying that talent doesn’t fit Fields or Russ. But calling it “talent” is probably generous. Looks very Bears 2022 to me.

You've really gotta stop with the "it's always everyone else's fault" thing regarding Fields.

Good QBs make guys better.

At some point a guy is just what he looks like he is.

Of course.

And you couldn't judge Fields last year because he had such terrible players surrounding him like Darnell Mooney.

It's wild to still be blaming everyone else.

You gotta stop it with the “what he has is good enough” thing. No one asks Joe Burrough to throw to Connor Heyward and Calvin Austin III regularly. And that Pittsburgh offensive line is worse than the Bears.

Fields last year had Kmet, DJ Moore, and Darnell Mooney.

But you insisted his supporting cast was SO bad that you couldn't even fairly evaluate him.

Which, coincidentally, after being traded to a 'real franchise', you are still saying.  In his 45th NFL start.

Moore is nice. Kmet is fine. Mooney was horrible last year. His Oline was meh and his coach was fucking terrible and it’s become obvious Aaron Rodgers and Matt LaFleur got Hackett and Getsy overpromoted.

But Moore is also limited route wise. Hell of a player, but he’s not Justin Jefferson or JaMarr Chase. I’d take a DJ Moore on my team every year, though. Lots of teams have Moore, Kmet, Mooney type talent. Most teams, in fact.

There was nothing exceptional about last years’ Bears offensive squad from talent to coaching. And talk about QB elevating his team all you want, pretty much every great offense has a few exceptional players.
