Very interesting with Aiyuk

I've coached so many young athletes who are incredibly gifted, but they just don't have the desire to reach their potential greatness. When I want them, will them even to improve, I've learned that they'll never get there. I'm not saying George falls into this category as I don't know the guy at all, but I see so much more potential in the man and I hope that he's able to achieve it, someday.

100%

I too, have coached (successfully) and an athlete of many different sports (very successful & not a bragging), but you are absolutely right on the desire /; drive to be the best you can be. It's the wanting to, showing up (both practice & event day), participate mentally & physically beyond your limits that will make you the best you can be.

All circumstances aside, the higher the achievement, the more precise and dedicated one must become. Some max out and can only get to a certain level, others max out due to lack of desire (mentally or physically). Some take their abilities for granted and play off physical attributes (Ben Roethlisberger is an example), I think George Pickens may fall into this category as well.

I want full success for all athletes but also know some will fall short due to their focus ability. It was brought out (during draft time) that George is a head case and if anyone could get to him, it would be Coach Tomlin. Thus far, Coach Tomlin has been successful in that charge, and I hope Pickens can exceed going forward.

A first for a player such as Aiyuk, even in a contract year, is not an overpay. A first or a second AND a starter would be unless it was a low-level starter like Dan Moore.


I disagree completely. And from the looks of it, the front office agrees with me. Keep building this team,it isn't competing for a superbowl this year. It's way too young at key positions. You don't throw away the future on some shiny new toy.

Draft your new toy next year.

I read somewhere that it is not what you are capable of but what you are willing to do

Hard work > talent, or something to that effect.

Not sure if Boyd would have been the answer at #2, but it seems like it would have been a cheap option now.
 
I cannot understand why they didn't pay him a couple million one year deal.


In a sense, I'm kindA glad they didn't. It makes us assess our existing talent much closer.

The '49er WR isn't coming our way, unless Frisco lowers their value. Omar isn't a fool and neither is Wiedl.

Steelr4evr, Excellent post and point. Thanks for all your great ones along the way.


I'm definitely on this train of thought as well. I know we need, but at what cost ?

9ers are also trying to get Trent Williams' old *** into camp. Since we have our Tackles of the here, now and future, I'm not opposed to sending the ultra stellar all-world Dan Moore to Sheeit Francisco along with a conditional 2nd for Aiyuk.

Of course, I'd have a contract worked out with Aiyuk prior to the trade, and more importantly, also have a contract extension worked out with GP's agent.

Then, we just need a QB to step up... and that looks like Fields at the moment since Russ' calf is giving him problems.

Dan Moore is a Pro! He would elevate their LT position immediately, he is well worth half of a king's ransom
 
Not going after a viable, cheaper option earlier was stupid. Even Boyd would have been preferable to their current situation.

I wouldn’t want to give up a first for Aiyuk but he’s certainly worth the pick. IMO, it’s comparable to when the Eagles acquired AJ Brown from the Titans for a first- and third-round pick. The Titans ended up drafting Treylon Burks.

They made this move a year after drafting DeVonta Smith in the first round and now they’re both making at least $25 million. They wanted to set up Jalen Hurts with weapons and succeeded. IMO, the Steelers are trying to build a team in a similar way—possibly around Fields.
 
Practical Explanation ( For Example ) :- `1st of all can you tell me every single seconds detail from that time when you born ?? ( i need every seconds detail ?? that what- what you have thought and done on every single second )

can you tell me every single detail of your `1 cheapest Minute Or your whole hour, day, week, month, year or your whole life ??

if you are not able to tell me about this life then what proof do you have that you didn't forget your past ? and that you will not forget this present life in the future ?

that is Fact that Supreme Lord Krishna exists but we posses no such intelligence to understand him.
there is also next life. and i already proved you that no scientist, no politician, no so-called intelligent man in this world is able to understand this Truth. cuz they are imagining. and you cannot imagine what is god, who is god, what is after life etc.
_______
for example :Your father existed before your birth. you cannot say that before your birth your father don,t exists.

So you have to ask from mother, "Who is my father?" And if she says, "This gentleman is your father," then it is all right. It is easy.
Otherwise, if you makes research, "Who is my father?" go on searching for life; you'll never find your father.

( now maybe...maybe you will say that i will search my father from D.N.A, or i will prove it by photo's, or many other thing's which i will get from my mother and prove it that who is my Real father.{ So you have to believe the authority. who is that authority ? she is your mother. you cannot claim of any photo's, D.N.A or many other things without authority ( or ur mother ).

if you will show D.N.A, photo's, and many other proofs from other women then your mother. then what is use of those proofs ??} )

same you have to follow real authority. "Whatever You have spoken, I accept it," Then there is no difficulty. And You are accepted by Devala, Narada, Vyasa, and You are speaking Yourself, and later on, all the acaryas have accepted. Then I'll follow.
I'll have to follow great personalities. The same reason mother says, this gentleman is my father. That's all. Finish business. Where is the necessity of making research? All authorities accept Krsna, the Supreme Personality of Godhead. You accept it; then your searching after God is finished.

Why should you waste your time?
_______
all that is you need is to hear from authority ( same like mother ). and i heard this truth from authority " Srila Prabhupada " he is my spiritual master.
im not talking these all things from my own.
___________

in this world no `1 can be Peace full. this is all along Fact.

cuz we all are suffering in this world 4 Problems which are Disease, Old age, Death, and Birth after Birth.

tell me are you really happy ?? you can,t be happy if you will ignore these 4 main problem. then still you will be Forced by Nature.
___________________

if you really want to be happy then follow these 6 Things which are No illicit s.ex, No g.ambling, No d.rugs ( No tea & coffee ), No meat-eating ( No onion & garlic's )

5th thing is whatever you eat `1st offer it to Supreme Lord Krishna. ( if you know it what is Guru parama-para then offer them food not direct Supreme Lord Krishna )

and 6th " Main Thing " is you have to Chant " hare krishna hare krishna krishna krishna hare hare hare rama hare rama rama rama hare hare ".
_______________________________
If your not able to follow these 4 things no illicit s.ex, no g.ambling, no d.rugs, no meat-eating then don,t worry but chanting of this holy name ( Hare Krishna Maha-Mantra ) is very-very and very important.

Chant " hare krishna hare krishna krishna krishna hare hare hare rama hare rama rama rama hare hare " and be happy.

if you still don,t believe on me then chant any other name for 5 Min's and chant this holy name for 5 Min's and you will see effect. i promise you it works And chanting at least 16 rounds ( each round of 108 beads ) of the Hare Krishna maha-mantra daily.
____________
Here is no Question of Holy Books quotes, Personal Experiences, Faith or Belief. i accept that Sometimes Faith is also Blind. Here is already Practical explanation which already proved that every`1 else in this world is nothing more then Busy Foolish and totally idiot.
_________________________
Source(s):
every `1 is already Blind in this world and if you will follow another Blind then you both will fall in hole. so try to follow that person who have Spiritual Eyes who can Guide you on Actual Right Path. ( my Authority & Guide is my Spiritual Master " Srila Prabhupada " )
_____________
if you want to see Actual Purpose of human life then see this link : ( triple w ( d . o . t ) asitis ( d . o . t ) c . o . m {Bookmark it })
read it complete. ( i promise only readers of this book that they { he/she } will get every single answer which they want to know about why im in this material world, who im, what will happen after this life, what is best thing which will make Human Life Perfect, and what is perfection of Human Life. ) purpose of human life is not to live like animal cuz every`1 at present time doing 4 thing which are sleeping, eating, s.ex & fear. purpose of human life is to become freed from Birth after birth, Old Age, Disease, and Death.
AHEM... does Lloyd (Fluffy) have a new profile???
 
What in the actual **** was that above?
Coolie's more intellectual side. It's delteeted.

now to do the same to that bow-legged texan fuckup
 
BA is better than what we have, but is he worth a 1st? I would think not
 
Aiyuk is way way overrated. Not even a top 5 WR, 30 million is a joke.

Put Pickens in that offense he has 100+ catches and 1500 yards

Steelers are never paying that. rightfully so in this case.
 
IDK if it makes a difference. Every year I hold out hope that this is the year they break above that never a losing season and do something. It was a lot easier to do when I knew Ben was steering the ship. I'm not sure the current QB room is any better than we had last year, hope I'm wrong.


lmao-crying-laughing.gif


You absolutely cannot be serious.


Each one of our QB's from last year is actively fighting (and in some cases, losing) to serve as back-ups on their respective teams. Said differently, our QB room last year consisted of barely back-up QB's.
