    'Who The Hell Do You Think You Are?' Stephen A Smith Slams Steelers QB

    By Wil Riggs,

    1 day ago

    Pittsburgh Steelers quarterback Justin Fields found himself with a huge target on his back from the one and only Stephen A. Smith after comments the QB made following the team’s preseason finale.

    Fields was asked by ESPN’s Brooke Pryor what he thought about how the offensive line played to which he answered, "They did alright, but there is still room to grow.”

    That comment caught the ear, and the ire, of Smith who ripped into the quarterback on the “ Stephen A. Smith Show.

    "Who the hell do you think you are?" Smith said. "You're fighting for a job in the league. You were in Chicago complaining about coaches and teammates. Now you're sitting up there and throwing a little shade on the offensive line. Have you lost your mind?

    “I'm not saying, 'Justin Fields, you were wrong. I'm saying, 'There comes the time to shut the hell up."

    To Smith’s credit, he isn’t wrong about knowing what to say and when to say it. However, when we go back and watch it again, Fields wasn’t saying it in a derogatory way at all.

    He was simply saying that they can get better, along with the rest of the offense.

    Hopefully his teammates understood what he was saying after the fact and no locker room issues arise from this.

    It’s now time to focus on their opening week game against the Atlanta Falcons on the road.

    Kickoff is scheduled for 12:00 p.m. EDT.
