However in full stadiums of over 100 thousand fans, and fans fired up before kick-off to end of game, at Ann Arbor or Columbus, Fields never lost. So here are The Steelers at 3-0. See, this is Ohio State Fields. Bears have problems, but Steelers are the type team Fields could put up Wins. Not Stats, but Wins. Like a Bart Starr or Len Dawson. Plus Columbus Ohio has a lot of Steeler Fans and is not that far from Pittsburgh on I-70. Fields at Pittsburgh is close to his Ohio State campus.
I'm a Bengals Fan, but Steeler Fans have reason to be more than " cautious optimism ". Steelers are 3-0, and this is kind of what Fields does. He is not Peyton Manning or Johnny Unitas, but he Wins a lot....You can't blame him for Bears, they were bad before him and look worse now without him, while he is 3-0 with Pittsburgh. You have to appreciate how fired up Ann Arbor or Columbus are for THE GAME, and Fields never choked, in spite of over 100 thousand screaming fans all game. Another QB that did well in THE GAME was Michigan QB Tom Brady, and I think he had a good NFL career. Fields could be on the right team, with the right coach, at the right time, like Bart Starr and Len Dawson. Paul Brown had cut Len Dawson in Cleveland and told him to go find his real life's work. It just shows what ending up on the right team can do. Look at Jim Plunket fired by Patriots, and he ended up near his Stanford with Oakland Raiders and won Super Bows. Here is Fields and Steelers 3-0.
If this defense keeps up what they’ve started, the team’s ceiling with Fields is pretty high. You used examples from older eras, but Super Bowls have been won more recently by the likes of Brad Johnson, Trent Dilfer, Joe Flacco, and Nick Foles, none of which are remotely close to being in the same league as Brady or Mahomes. They were all simply on the right team. Here’s hoping the Steelers will be that team for Fields.
