Pickens is something else. 😭

Yeah it had to be him to keep the A.B. vibe evolving further(waiting on the locker room video)....:ROFLMAO: How do we end up with guys like this? It was easy when it was a guy like Cedrick Wilson, just dump him..and they did. Pickens and AB...dudes with that much talent just don't come around every draft. I understand Tomlin putting up with AB's crap for so long, till it got out of hand of course. We never get the guy that's a freak, but also an adult.
 
Steelers know they can only keep one after this season. Just speculation, but Fields has done enough to show he has a future even though it'sclear he has to improve. Wilson plays now to show if he can do anything. If the offense is more effective with Wilson, he can finish the season as the starter or be traded for value. If he doesn't have it anymore go back to Fields and you have a veteran on the bench. The risk is you may lose some of the more winnable games before the loaded back half of the season.

We'll do that regardless with Tomlin.

Lol like all wrs are like this... people dont realize how bad they all are... even the responsible ones line Ward and Fitzgerald end up with off field issues..
 
Every wide receiver in the NFL grew up being the coddled star of his high school and college. Notice the linemen dont act like divas. Most of them relied on natural talent to get to the NFL Level. Then it all changes because everyone is getting paid to be there. Everyone was pretty awesome growing up. AB elevated his game by putting in work to be one of the best. And then his head exploded. Its baffling how they dont realize this coming up the ranks. Like hey i run a 4.3 40,,,,, im good. Instead of working on route running. Not realizing the importance. (this is what i think anyway)

Since they elevated to one of the highest paid positions and are so protected/coddled by the league rules a lot of dudes have definitely went full diva at that position. Maybe FF plays into it too?

At any rate very few John Stallworths or Lynn Swanns out there these days, the game has definitely changed.

It’s generally a matter of just where they fall on the diva/crazy scale anymore.

Think AB may be a times 2
Already turning diva then dealing with CTE right in front of our eyes post Birthdefect hit
 
I'm interested. What do you guys think the amount of chain they will give Russ. I'm saying Game and a half. If they win tonight and offense looks better the chain gets longer.

I think they'll give him until the bye week win of lose. If he struggles in both games, they'll reevaluate the situation during the bye.

I think if he flops tonight the noise is gonna get real loud even in locker. Can't imagine he could play poor past next week first half. I'm actually looking forward to tonight. Kinda like opening week.
 
He is going to light it up and all the soaking wet vaginas who thinks this is a place to complain incessantly and post 15 year old articles about Coach Tomlin being black are going to shut the fk up for 10 seconds and then find new things to assist them in their wet vagina impersonations

He would have to look really bad for them not to give him at least two full starts after making the move,IMO.

He may very well end up not looking much better than Fields, but I tend to doubt he will look much worse.

If nothing else, it gives them a couple games to see what the offense looks like with Wilson before perhaps making a final decision on the position during the bye.

I don't know; this is what Fields' 4th year? And he still can't read a D, at all? Seems a little too long to me. I'm sure we could still limp along and barely hold onto a "non-losing" record but success in the playoffs? I don't see it, not after 7 years or 10. And the Flacco comparison; he never was close in winning in the playoffs, don't forget that.

He is only 24 maybe 25 now. He still has time for the light to come on. How long did Geno take?

I am pretty sure talent at WR is a corollary to their mental stability and ego. The more naturally talented the bigger the mental issues and EGO, the less the talent the saner they are. I swear I would rather have the less talented but more driven hardnosed guy like Hines Ward. AB was hard working he was just off the charts crazy.

Actually its funny.. the first Psych profiles of NFL positions were done back in the late 60's or 70's.. and they highlighted that the wr position is typically narcissistic 🤣... true to this day, just more obvious

So Russel Wilson might be the guy with the most Bulletin board material ever this game..

Basically trashed by 99% of the media... Given up on by two teams in what should be a still viable post prime era of his career...

This week alone tons of media speculation about him only getting the job for goofy reasons like saving the difference between a 4th and a sixth, or because of a promise..

Lots of assurances he is washed up and that the Jets are thrilled they are facing him over the middling Fields...

I mean this is a HOF level QB in his mid thirties... younger than some of the guys that moved teams and the media fawned over the moves despite them actually showing signs of physical drop off ...

It would be very fitting if he balls out and beats the much older Rodgers, who still enjoys media ball washing despite lots of red flags...

Rodgers is hot garbage for the past decade. Wasted talent due to untreated mental and emotional issues.

Someone should pin one or two posts from this joint on Wilson's locker.

Year 4 and having shown so signs of development? Well, I guess you could argue he has shown SOME signs of development (better pass %, better turnover %?) With Tomlin's obsession towards pick offs, it's impossible to say.

You sit behind that keyboard not knowing what a complete idiot you are, your lack of language skills, inability to reason, cognitive biases, name calling as a poor substitute for substantive arguments... It's comedy

You are the dumbest person here. Congratulations for putting all of this in writing.

And I'm still waiting for you to quantify this myth of confidence. Stop projecting your shortcomings onto a professional athlete.
