DK’s Double Shot of Steelers: Keep both QBs?

1. I would love to hear Mr Rooneys answer to the J1Q, OH wait, We already have. Lmao..😅😅😅

2. Tomlin is a narcissist and egomaniac. Most great coaches have great assistants that have created a coaching tree that has roots and branches that extend across the NFL. Just think of the greats like Lombardi , Shula , Landry , and most of all the great Bill Walsh. Their impact on the game and the coaches they hired and mentored has reached across generations. Tomlin is not an all time great and is so obsessed with micromanaging and control to where he is threatened by anyone that he perceives as a viable threat to his job. Coach Dungy is somewhere shaking his head behind the scenes after seeing how this clown is wasting all the knowledge and wisdom that he poured into Tomlin when he gave him his opportunity as a young coach with the buccaneers like the great coach Chuck Noll gave Dungy his player and coaching opportunity with the Steelers as a young man getting into coaching.

3. I don’t have a problem with keeping Arther Smith for another year, I do have a problem with Austin at Defensive coordinator. They play way too passive on defense, at least to me.

4. Russ's back legs have gone and his front legs aren't looking that great either.

5. Yeah, let’s just roll back the same team, same coaching staff. It kept them above .500 and got them to the playoffs, where they embarrassed themselves, just as they do every time. Big fun ahead

6. Did Justin Fields actually escape trouble? Seems to me he got sacked a lot as well except for a play here or there. The idea that there was some drastic sack gap between the two doesn't appear to be true and Russ provided the higher offensive upside.

8. DK Justin Fields is not good, dude is a bust

9. I honestly think all 3 QBs are back. Call me crazy.

10. The media is to anxious for a story. The Tomlin and the organization to make moves when they want them too. It's plenty of time for Tomlin to do what he has to do. I'm pretty sure they're having meetings and discussing the moves they will make strategically, along with the points DK is bringing up

11. 0% chance Fields is in Pittsburgh if Wilson is back

12. Regarding the ‘non-losing streak’ Ben had a great quote on it in his podcast. “It’s nice to have on your way to Lombardis, but you don’t want to live there”.

13. Quit going to the games people thats the only way Rooney will listen.

14. Neither one want to take a back seat especially russ, I think its one or the other, russ is not gonna take a back seat to anyone

15. I'll keep wondering what the bashers felt this teams record should have been🤔. Until they get a legit qb they will remain in the same place. Nothing will change without it. Look at the best teams.

16. Well with tomlin nothing will get done and same results 😢

17. They totally shyt the bed w/ 5 straight loses to end the season and the decision is to just sit still and lay in it? That is embarrassing.

18. Amen DK!!! You are absolutely right.

19. Thank you DK and Chris, It seemed like the team was very disappointed when it came to defense. I'm not saying they didn't try but they were put in a bad situation. It just seems like a slow, slow change if any when change needs to come. Great show guys !

20. Passive ownership. AR II is not sufficiently stung, resolute, or loud to course correct his institution. Hard times on the horizon

21. I said it before … the Steelers are so complacent they’re not even bother to fire a scapegoat.

22. I don't want Russ!

23. Let russ go

24. bring russ back for $5M

25. DK, I went back and listened to the Russell Wilson interview on Pat McAfee Show, and I listened several times. Other media are saying "contract talks." There never once was the word CONTRACT nor the word NEGOTIATIONS ever mentioned. Last thing he said was he is "really excited about the opportunity to stay at Pittsburgh, HOPEFULLY longer and I always trust in God with the process." That's it!! I am really sick of media blowing up a story that didn't happen!!! Thank you, DK. I had to get this out of my system.

26. Flores home just like us

27. This won't happen since Russ wouldn't accept it, but the best scenario would be for Russ to be QB2. He will not win us a SB as a starter, but he would be one of the better backups in the league

28. At this point I think Dk should stop Reporting on this team frankly I’m tired of the constant call for blood as A fan I want more positive content maybe talk about what this team can be opposed to they just want to be right and there not going to change anything the commentary is getting stale so I’m calling for Dks job he just won’t change and for whining Fans just go find another team to cry about you fake fans need to go to

29. It’s the multiple 90+ yard drives for TD’s the defense surrendered especially in the early stages of the game that I find most disturbing.

30. First, love the show DK, so thank you! I do disagree with your stance on Tomlin’s lack of a “coaching tree.” It matters in that we basically have coordinators and nobody wants. So why do we want them? Why do we hang on to them when it’s obvious to everyone that we need to replace them. Is Tomlin hiring guys that don’t threaten his position – you alluded to this when discussing Brian Flores. Feels like that should raise a red flag for ownership. Tomlin doesn’t want to surround himself with people that he considers threats to his own job? Is someone living in his own fears?

31. Keep Fields, Russ is going to want too much money, and draft a Quarterback

32. Keeping both qbs shows a lack of commitment and confidence in naming a starter. What's wrong Mike can't recognize your mistakes or just afraid to admit it ? Wilson NO, Fields YES! Draft a young hopeful , you might find another Bubby Brister. Start Fields and when he gets hurt running for his life go with the fan favorite bench player, could be exciting . If he's another mobile qb you won't have to change the offense .

33. I have been fan 53 yrs i remember 80s rough

34. I can’t see a scenario where Russ comes back and isn’t the starter. If they resign Russ he is the QB1.

35. Start Fields

36. Will give them one more year. No major changes same old crap as last now it will be 10 years. This lifelong steeler fan. From 1970 will pick another team to root for.

37. If Russ takes a big paycut. They can afford both. If not. Nope

38. I’m not opposed to Russ coming back if we get the dude some weapons and a run game k prefer fields but I don’t think Russ is a bad qb at all he had zero weapons no run game no line and terrible play calling he didn’t always play great but you don’t give a 36 year old qb that situation either

39. Hey DK! What do you think about the Steelers trading Pickens to the Jets for Garrett Wilson??? Reunite Wilson and Fields like the Bengals did for Burrow/Chase.

40. I would love having Flores. I mean. What's up w Munch. Oh yeah I guess im living in the past. Bring in Bem & Hines. Lol. Is what it is. Steelers fan forever.

41. Steelers are going to the SB next year! Watch! You heard it here.

42. 14:08, Steelers do win games. Go Steelers! Did we really feel that the Steelers were going to the SB at ANY point during the season? No. But I do expect bigger things from them next year. This will be Omar’s second draft as GM and Tomlin is on the hot seat from preseason on.

43. Rooney isn't wrong for keeping Tomlin. He gets the Steelers to the playoffs most years. It takes a lot for a championship. While his message is stale to us, It only matters if it's stale to his team. Idk I would love to see the guy get the Steelers another championship but we really needed playmakers and we didn't see enuf from our playmakers in the last few weeks.

44. Every year my father and I choose a Steelers game to attend. We bleed black and gold, but I can't justify the amount of money we invest for just a little better than the average football team. I hate to say it, but we might have to attend a Detroit Lions game, my second favorite team instead of the Steelers.

45. Russ no. Fields maybe. But there's got to be an offensive mind on the staff who can identify each player's strengths and weaknesses and create an offense around these.

46. ✌❤🤘

47. To whom this concern ,Mr Warren #30 reminds me of “‘Mike pin-ball Clemens” way better the Najee just needs to stay heathy. ❤

48. It's very rare that a starter would stay as a backup after being replaced.

    That's why the whole nonsense that they wanted Kenny to learn under Wilson was nothing but hogwash. It just doesn't happen that often.

    I don't think this would work because I don't think it's a secret that Arthur Smith really has no use for Wilson, he pretty much let that be known the week they announced he was going to start.

    I think both guys have their favorites in the locker room, I think this would be too toxic, and could split this team at the core.

49. If Tomlin was so worried about Flores taking his job, why would Tomlin bring him in at all?
