The Pittsburgh Steelers decided to bench Justin Fields for Russell Wilson in 2024.

The Pittsburgh Steelers decided to bench Justin Fields for Russell Wilson in 2024. originally appeared on Athlon Sports. The Pittsburgh Steelers acquired veteran quarterback Russell Wilson last offseason, quickly followed by them trading with the Chicago Bears to get Justin Fields. Advertisement The latter started out the year under center as a result of a calf injury to Wilson. But as soon as the veteran quarterback recovered, Fields was benched. And not everyone liked that idea. On a recent episode of the Bill Simmons Podcast, Albert Breer reported that Steelers head coach Mike Tomlin was one of the only people that thought benching Fields was the right move. "I think people there would tell you that the Russell Wilson thing undermines so many things in the last month of the season and that a lot of that building really wanted them to go back to Justin Fields," Breer said. "And it was something where Tomlin was kind of, again, all on his own on that one." Advertisement "People in the building'' is a tricky thing. Players? Assistant coaches? The "second-guess'' from then, by the way, can still be in play. Would the Steelers be better off in 2025 is Fields was still here? Fields led the Steelers to a 4-2 record in the six games that he started in, racking up 1,106 yards, five touchdowns, and just one interception. He was also able to show his elite scrambling ability with 289 yards and five touchdowns on the ground. As for Wilson, the team was 6-5 with him under center, but four of their losses were all in a row to end the season, leaving them with a 10-7 record on the season. While that is still solid, some think they could have competed for the lead in the AFC North if Fields had remained the starter. Advertisement Now, the young quarterback will be looking for a fresh start with the New York Jets, and the Steelers will be left wondering what would have happened if they had never benched him.

Mark Daigneault pays respect to Rick Carlisle ahead of Pacers-Thunder 2025 NBA Finals

Mark Daigneault pays respect to Rick Carlisle ahead of Pacers-Thunder 2025 NBA Finals For the first time in the 2025 NBA playoffs, Mark Daigneault enters as the freshly-faced rookie. He coached against two interim coaches in the first two rounds with Tuomas Iisalo and David Adelman. And while Chris Finch was in last year's Western Conference Finals, that didn't matter as OKC was a buzzsaw. But Rick Carlisle is on a different level. He's been an NBA head coach since 2001. This will be his second NBA Finals. He was the Dallas Mavericks' head coach when they upset the Miami Heat in 2011. The 65-year-old hopes history repeats itself. The Oklahoma City Thunder enter the 2025 NBA Finals as the heavy favorite. They were the league's best team all season and continued their dominance in the playoffs with a 12-4 record against the West to reach the championship round. Meanwhile, the Indiana Pacers have caught fire at the right time. Tyrese Haliburton is the headliner, but the East's fourth seed is rich with depth. Pascal Siakam has stepped up as the second-best player. Myles Turner and Andrew Nembhard have been complementary pieces. It's also helped to have Carlisle as their head coach. If anybody can bring their squad an advantage from the sidelines, it's the future Hall-of-Famer. He helped take down the Miami Heat in their first year with LeBron James. It'll take a similar David-esque approach to slay the Thunder. 'I have a lot of respect for him. He's had an unbelievable life in basketball. When you look at all the things he's experienced in his playing career and his assistant coaching career and his head coaching career. He's forgotten more about the game than most of us have seen," Daigneault said about Carlisle. "I have a lot of respect for him. He's the president of the Coaches Association. He's got 29 really good relationships with the coaches and is in constant communication with us." Besides a few blips, Daigneault has made the right decisions in the playoffs. Let's see if the national spotlight and the highest stakes possible in a basketball game will change that. Meanwhile, Carlisle should know what to expect at this point in the year.

Giants Russell Wilson Becomes Mentor to Black Quarterbacks

Giants Russell Wilson Becomes Mentor to Black Quarterbacks originally appeared on Athlon Sports. Russell Wilson may be just a bridge quarterback for the New York Giants. But to young, black NFL quarterbacks he's a role model. Advertisement The Giants signed the veteran this offseason to be their starter in 2025, but maybe not 2026 and beyond. That's because they also traded up in the draft to select Ole Miss rookie Jaxson Dart, who they see as the franchise quarterback of the future. But as the 36-year-old Wilson is set to begin his 14th NFL season with a fourth different team, he takes pride in helping pave the path for younger stars such as Lamar Jackson, Kyler Murray, Justin Fields, Jayden Daniels and even rookie Shedeur Sanders. 'Whatever I can do to inspire guys, to give guys belief," Wilson said this week on Carmelo Anthony's podcast. "Whatever questions - life questions, business questions, football questions, whatever it is - I feel like others did it for me, I gotta do it for them and do it 100 times.' Only 5-foot-11 and drafted in the third round by the Seattle Seahawks, Wilson has carved out an elite career highlighted by 10 Pro Bowls and a Super Bowl. Advertisement "There's no magic pill," he said when Anthony asked him about his best advice to young quarterbacks. "You have to do the work." Wilson, who was also drafted by the Texas Rangers for his baseball prowess, recalled a conversation with Murray. He was drafted by both the NFL and MLB also. "I give him my perspective of why football first," Wilson said. "Because you can always go back to baseball, but you got to give this football thing a chance because you're short, you're black and you're young. You got to give it a chance now."
