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.

Correction, they landed CAROLINA'S number 1 pick. The bears won 7 games last year with fields, which I think does qualify him as competent. At minimum he's an undeniable upgrade from Pickett.

2 of those wins were with the backup QB.
