what um do you think the Steelers should do at the quarterback spot RG3 what do you think yeah Rich I think it's super simple and I think they knew this all along you start Russell Wilson um Justin fields in a in the perfect world for him right if you're just talking about his career yes Russell Wilson goes out doesn't play that great for five games Justin Fields is able to come in while the season still has an opportunity and the the Steelers still have an opportunity to make the playoffs and leads him to the playoffs what does that do for Justin that allows him to resurrect his career he now becomes the quarterback of the future for the Pittsburg Steelers and it's all gravy after that so if you yeah go ahead go no you go ahead no if you sit him then then what it's the the opposite it's not very good yeah but if you if you if you sit him and Russell plays his tail off right leads him to the playoffs they be I don't want to go so far as say they go to the Super Bowl whatever but if they go to the playoffs and they play well how old is Russell will he's not going to be playing for another 10 years right right so Justin gets an opportunity to now grow and develop within the Steelers culture yes it puts a little bit of a damper on the immediate future of his career but he will have an opportunity to grow there and I think the Steelers will commit to him to allow him to grow if you start uh Justin Fields first yes and he goes out and plays bad for five games his career is over as a starter so to me I think Mike Tomlin understood this maybe front-facing to the media and to guys like myself and you he'll say hey it's an open competition because you have to as a head coach but he knew all along who he wanted his starting quarterback to be if indeed it is Russell Wilson and I don't think that that's a there's a problem there I think that people in our business have a problem with Russell Wilson they don't have a problem with the way Russell Wilson plays because last year he had a top five touchdown interception ratio now I watched the tape and yes he took some unnecessary sacks but you can't replace that top five touchdown the interception ratio just because you don't like the guy so I think this is the perfect plan for both both quarterbacks let Russell play if he gets the job done it's great for everybody maybe not the immediate future of Justin but if Justin goes out and plays and he lets it and and it's not great his career is essentially done as a starting quarterback in the NFL why do you think the media r large Robert feels the way they do about rust and know you're smiling now you're smiling your reaction knows that that's like a spinning curve in the Aaron judge heat zone for you but go ahead Robert go ahead R Rich it's some people don't I'm not one of those people by the way I've I've got a great relationship with Russ uh I think that some people in our business don't believe that he's a genuine guy or they believe that he's you know he's too perfect right he he tries to say the right thing too often I don't think that I just think it's his personality he understands that being the CEO of Russell Wilson Enterprises and being the CEO of whatever team he's playing for is important and what he says and how he operates matters to people that are even Beyond himself I think that some people wish that Russell would just you know I don't know go to the club with him or something or or you know hang out and smoke some weed or something but that's not but that's not his personality you know and and I respect that he's always been that way from the very first time I met Russell Wilson when we were rookies in 2012 he was the guy that I see in Pittsburgh right now and listen the man loves going to Children's Hospitals and giving back to the community what is wrong with that he loves his wife he loves Sierra he loves his kids what's wrong with that I don't think that you have to be what everyone else wants you to be you just have to be yourself and I think Russell is being himself I just know that there's some people out there that don't like that catch the rich eyes and show every single day on the Roku Channel 1200 to 3 Eastern for free
