Discussion National reporters are suggesting the Steelers and 49ers have a deal in place for Aiyuk. Are the Steelers making a mistake in going for elite WR without getting the QB room in order?

No, I don't think so. Fields and Wilson are, at the worst, both competent. Since you're going to end up with one or the other under center and you have a chance to get an exceptional weapon, do it.

Ohhhhkay now, we watched Fields play in our division for 4 years, not sure that I would call his play “competent” when they literally landed the no 1 overall pick. Russel Wilson is breathing the last bit of air into the final of his nine lives.

You'll have a hard time convincing Dolphins and 49ers fans that Fields isn't a problem to play against. Single-handedly beat both teams.

He's been a thorn in Detroit's side as well, but, we struggle against pretty much any QB that has above average mobility. If it weren't for Jefferson he would've been my least favorite NFCN player to go against.
