Steelers' George Pickens Seemingly Sends Strong But Simple Message To Pittsburgh's Front Office On Social Media

It's called perspective.

per·spec·tive
/pərˈspektiv/
a particular attitude toward or way of regarding something; a point of view.
"most guidebook history is written from the editor's perspective"

Unlike you, I live by the mantra "expect the best, prepare for the worst", which is called "Optimism"

op·ti·mism
/ˈäptəˌmiz(ə)m/
hopefulness and confidence about the future or the successful outcome of something.
"the talks had been amicable and there were grounds for optimism"

You're negative nelly "everything sucks" all the time isn't healthy. You have to learn to find the beauty in all things. Here is some good for you to watch and enjoy.

Throw in making the type of money he is making as a 24 year old,and knowing next year you will be signing a 100 million dollar contract. All the women involved……hey…I’m only human. I’d be losing a little focus too. And enjoying life a bit.
This is where the players need that great support system. Family and friends that have a level head. Get rid of the users. And for heck sake. Don’t get married. And double bag it.

I might add….if you’re stupid enough to get married making that type of money at a young age,hire the best lawyer and have the best iron clad prenuptial.

George’s talent level is undeniable.

If they are able to tap his full potential they have an easy top 5 receiver in the league.

Even operating at his current effort level combined with his immense talent level he is an easy top 20 receiver in the league…hopefully we get the pleasure of seeing him operate closer to his ceiling for a long, long time.

If nothing else a nice tasty extension could thin the herd of moron posters around here with some needed head explosions- OPTIMISTIC VIEW

Really hoping this guy gets a nice extension and I can have the pleasure of watching his crazy playmaking ability for years to come.

And for all the people that say they won't pay two WR's top money, they've paid two OLB top money on several occasions. And the this is the direction the league is going. It is NOT out of the realm of possibilities that they pay both GP and DK much like the Bengals just did.

It's called naivety, pure and simple. Nothing else to it. You are powerfully naive. https://www.bing.com/videos/rivervi...B2C6C11E1F5FB5FF7D2FB2C6C11E1F5FB5F&FORM=VIRE
 
Off topic because it's a different player sending cryptic social media messages. And one that's well loved instead of Pickens.

Any thoughts on the message the Watt just sent?

I think we're going to get a deal done. But I like that we're playing hard ball. It's hard for even elite players to live up to huge 3rd contracts.

Since the FO doesn't discuss contract negotiations, and Watt is pretty typically quiet during the offseason, I think this is just a big nothing-burger. The FO doesn't typically start negotiating extensions for their own until after the draft. Watts last extension got signed JUST in time for training camp. Until then, I'm not worried about a reporter looking for clicks about a pic posted on an IG story.

I think he wants to get paid before all the money is gone. I also think he and his brother JJ are tag teaming the money train. As for the actual picture jester…….. it will have ZERO bearing on negotiations.


Salute the nation

It certainly doesn't help that he is paired with captain of all undisciplined and sloppy of all head coaches, by far, in the NFL. Clown-lin has a long list of - unbelievable really - players who turned out to be nuttier than all hell. Should I begin with the nuttiest of all, AB? Ryan Clark witnessed his transgression from "just an odd guy" to all out wacko in his time in Pgh. All "coached" by none other than Clown-lin. Of course, Bell went wacky, as did Blount and Bryant. DJ's gotta be in there. Santonio Holmes weed binges were well-known. (Didn't he get busted smoking out on a car ride to the airport with Blount?) The list is endless for problem, undisciplined players and Clown-lin. How do we "just happen" to draft all of these players with self-control issues? Just unlucky, huh?

there's a reason he wasn't a 1st rounder despite all the talent. BUT He's not even close to crazy AB levels or dope heads

Modeling team building after the Bengals is certainly a strategy. They’re about to lose their best (only good?) defender as a result of all the money going to the offense and the OL needs major help.

It’s also not like they’re just putting together this offensive dream team and the sky is the limit, these guys have been together for four seasons now and they’re getting diminishing results every year.

Don’t forget all the hostage situations, including team legend James Harrison getting himself kicked off the team. Then we have the damning comments from Juju and Najee as soon as they were out the door with a new team. Steelers are a frat house, that’s why everyone says they want to play there, not because they’re learning advanced concepts and becoming the best players they can be, they know it’s an easy gig.

As hard as it is to land top talent at the position they’d be foolish to not explore their options in ways to extend him.

You are quite correct, in an offensive league 2 receivers are almost necessary

Different QBs, different receiving corps, different OLs, Different OCs…the only continuity was Muth and Naj…and Naj is gone so yeah more blah, blah BS

Not a whole lotta 4 year continuity like you suggest

Having two and paying two top dollar are completely different things. WR is quite a fungible position, even in this relatively week draft class you can find them in the first three rounds. You can also pick up 3rd contract guys like Adams on a yearly basis.

I certainly don't lack Experience or wisdom, so your use of the word is again, incorrectly used. I'm on record stating that he's immature and does the stupid things a young lad just, does. But he is one hell of a receiver and you certainly cannot deny that. You want to dock him for poor blocking or lack of effort at times, I'll give you that. But don't come on this board and call him a complete "turd". He needs a mentor and some humility is all.

Nievity doesn't apply to someone who provides you with a well thought out response containing truths, perspective and criticisms.

I routinely watch 24-year old NFL players who do not act the way Pickens does on a weekly basis.

Dude.
This coming from you?
Your incessant non stop blathering about Tomlin in every thread makes you the epitome of a broken record.
No one is even remotely close to you.

I don’t see a single receiver in this draft I’d prefer over George, much less the 2nd-3rd round guys. A couple of the first rounders might get to his level in due time…but no guarantees there, draft is a crap shoot. George is a known commodity. I’d sure as heck take GP over Tet, Bond, Harris or Egbuka.

Plenty of teams pay two receivers top money

Bengals have Chase/Higgins
Eagles have Brown/Smith
Dolphins have Hill/Waddle
Commanders have Samuel/McLaurin
Bucs have Goodwin/Evans
Texans have Collins/Kirk

What all these teams have in common is they are playoff caliber teams, sure the Bengals narrowly missed due to the Burrow injury. Nobody wanted a piece of them had they made it. Dolphins also likely a fringe WC team had Tua not been injured.

Then there are the teams paying top QB money that have to go cheaper on receivers as the QB is expected to make everyone better. Teams like the Chiefs and Bills.

Since the Steelers won’t be paying franchise QB money any time soon may as well have some weapons.

Would much rather pay a second offensive threat than renew Minkah. If he was deployed properly maybe a different convo, but center fielders can be had much cheaper than Minkah. Cam will be coming off the books soon too. Gotta pay someone.
