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

It is shocking to see the successive line of receivers going off the rails here.

The statistical odds of one team drafting all the head cases at the same position are miniscule. Likewise, the statitistical odds of one team proving incapable of developing any of those receivers into productive players and men are miniscule. Are we to believe this is random chance with odds comparable only to the Powerball Lottery? Or is this permitted, even encouraged, diva behavior?

Whatever the answer, it leads to mismanagement of roster assets.
 
This entire offseason has been one colossal mess. The more I think about it the more I really don’t think Khan, Rooney and Tomlin have a single ******* clue on how to run an NFL franchise. Lets just go over this.
QB- we let both the quarterbacks who started last season walk. Put all your eggs in the Aaron Rodgers basket. Sign Rudolph and not draft any competition.
WR- let a guy who in 4 games with 10+ targets (43 total) he had 459 yards at 18.4 ypc go for a third round pick. Probably equal to his compensation pick. Maybe less if he blows it up having a half way competent qb for once. Oh and he JUST turned 24. Traded and signed a 27 year old receiver for an absurd contract. I kinda want to see what the receivers after 52 end up being.

Are we trying to just tank for Archie Manning or what?

It’s almost like the coach doesn’t know how to handle or discipline players properly, kinda like he’s just going through the motions and clocking a check and doesn’t really give a damn.

I think Plaxico was just a pre-warning shot, but the young money was the start of the actual DIVA-Steelers bull-****.

Likely correct again amigo!

Mr EisenSHIP fancies himself playing 4-D Star Wars chess (shortening games and averting risk) while these other dummies just move their checkers around the board actually trying to score points.

We’re all just simps that are too dense to see the forest for the trees and truly recognize the brilliance we are witnessing.

I'd love to hear how they came to the conclusion DK Metcalf was worth 31 million dollars more than Pickens. The 4th highest paid WR in the league. DK was literally outplayed by Picken's with Justin Fields and Russell Wilson at QB. He was the #2 in Seattle behind Njigba whos making 3 million/yr.
I don't hate Metcalf, just the Elite Price tag makes zero logical sense.
 
When will teams stop trading Pitt for their wide receivers?

Martavis to the Raiders for a 3rd
Holmes for a 5th
AB for what a 3rd and 5th?
Claypool for a 2nd

not much production from these 4 after the trades

By all reports he was having to be baby sat too often. They had no intention of seeing another season of that especially in a contract year where he was bound to whine over snaps.

Fans can complain about the cost of getting DK but it costs money to get decent WRs . You won’t be getting any bargains there unless they come with production or behavioral concerns.

They also weren’t going to squeeze out a QB just for the sake of it. They tried to stick with the value and who they liked in this draft. I can’t blame them for that. I don’t care for the timing of the trade but I think they weren’t getting the return they wanted earlier.

I would have handled free agency differently in regards to QB and WR to date.

But here we are..

It certainly appears that way, but they are such clowns it appears they are even screwing that up. SMH

Been saying it for a while.
 
There were two schools of thought regarding Pickens behavior here…those that said Pickens is, or is going to end up a pain in the *** like those that came before him, myself included, and those that said we were overreacting…nothing to see here.
According to Tomlin and Kahn we win the debate, yay! lol:

“We thought it was best and timely for all parties involved.”

He also acknowledged that the Steelers have had bad luck recently with wide receivers, such as Pickens.
Khan says that the trend of poorly behaved wide receivers has been a pure coincidence,

Proves that Tomlin is a no nonsense guy! What a great coach!

Steelers seemingly send strong but simple message to George Pickens……………………………….

Hopefully the draft gurus take note, they do seem to be changing the draft protocol a little. I truly think Wiedl has made a big impact in that department.

One can look at the WR room in any manor they chose, I feel they are in a better way than what we had last year.
