With both Fields and Wilson needing a contract next year weren't we eventually going to have to see what Wilson has? We have seen what Fields has, not its Russ's turn.
Gerry Dulac

That is correct. That's not the reason for the move, but it helps

What would you give up for Williams? 6th rounder, 7th? Not sure why we would give the jets any more than that, if anything at all. They don't need him and are paying him a ton.

But, if the Steelers traded for him, they would have to pay him  the remainder of the $15 million he is owed. Maybe that would make a little more sense closer to the trade deadline.

Hello . What percentage chance would you say Russel Wilson has to start this weekend ? I do not know what is wrong with ESPN talking heads giving an impression that it is travesty that Fields might not play . Fields has 5 touchdown in 6 games , with one interception, tied for 25th in league , and a QBR of 54 .

I'd say a pretty good one. Those people have no clue

Any word on how many weeks Frazier will be out? I know he's out this week for sure. Is it a high ankle sprain?
Gerry Dulac
10:53
Probably 2-3 games I believe
Ross new in the Burgh

Hi Jerry, will RW be able to hold up with a banged up Oline? Or will he be under constant pressure and have more than one in??
Gerry Dulac
10:53
We'll find out. Or, should I say, he'll find out

if Russell Wilson doesn't perform going forward will Tomlin revert back to Fields?
Gerry Dulac
10:54
That's a big if.

KN Phoenix . Do you think Steelers will be interested in trading for Jets Mike Williams ? When is the trade deadline ? Thank you as always for the chat .

Nov. 5 at 4 pm is trade deadline. It was pushed back a week this year because of a proposal by -- that's right -- the Steelers

Gerry, I’ve seen you joined the local pgh sports media narrative for the need to start Wilson. Can you explain in detail why you would do this? Fields hasn’t turned the ball over that much. Has a winning record. Playing decent football and getting better.

I never said they need to start Wilson. What I have always said is they acquired Wilson for a reason and the time is now to execute the plan they had in mind. Kenny Pickett had a winning record, too, by the way. And, just for the record, Fields' NFL record is 14-30 as a starter.

Ok kids, went OT today because of all the QB questions. Do it again next week.
