Now hopefully JuJu declines as a WR because he is forced to be the #1 Instead if the #2. Don’t count on it. Whether it was Ward, Plaxico, Brown, etc. Ben has always found someone to make look good. JuJu is gonna have a monster year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Steelers were always able to phase out a WR who was on the decline. They seemed like they were always able to restock before the talent was gone at the position. Now this puts them in uncharted territory. For WRs they had Brown and juju playing at a high level and prolly thought they could have that level for a couple more years. This forces everything to happen quicker. Two TE and a RB had more yards than their 3rd WR last year. Switlzer and Washington don’t seem that special to be #2 type WRs next year. They either need to sign one of the better WRs on the market or draft one high (please god don’t be Isabella or Butler). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
buno67 Posted March 11, 2019 Share Posted March 11, 2019 20 minutes ago, mistakey said: forgot about mike wallace remember when he was good in PIT Going from my other post. Just looking back at pit. They always had time to draft a WR develop them, and then chop the old vet. That prolly could have been their plan with Washington. When he was ready, they would get rid of brown then. Now it forces the likes of Washington to really step his game up earlier than expected. When brown was ready for the lime light they light Sanders go, when Sanders was ready they let Wallace go, also at that time they had better depth and legit TE. I don’t see the Steelers currently having that kind of depth at the position they are use too. Also hope this is the season BigBen fully breaks down Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LETSGOBROWNIES Posted March 11, 2019 Share Posted March 11, 2019 I guess my point is Ben has always been the bigger part of the equation than the receivers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Brown played for a team who consistently went deep in the playoffs, had a HOF bound QB feeding him the ball and putting up ungodly numbers while being one of if not the highest paid receivers in the league. If you aren’t satisfied with that.... ...And had a QB who blamed him TO THE MEDIA for his own mistakes, saying he is allowed to do that whenever he wants. If you're satisfied with that...

ReggieCamp Posted March 11, 2019 Share Posted March 11, 2019 So, I guess Buffalo was willing to to swap 1st rounders (#9 for #20) before AB blew it up. Also, New England offered a 2nd and a 4th, but Pitt refused to trade him to NE. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm thinking I would have moved up in the first round. Maybe have Buffalo add a 6th. No way is Pitt making that trade with NE, I'm sure they have some idea they will be playing them in the playoffs this year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TBH, I don't blame them for saying no for a few reasons: *The difference between a NE 2nd and 4th and an Oakland 3rd and 5th isn't very big *New England as the heir apparent and main competitor would make them have to REALLY pony up IMO if I'm not a rebuilding team Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No. And I'm pretty sure AB wasn't too fond of Tomlin, but you don't see me citing him as the reason for his departure. Quote Would you leave a job because you didn’t get along with one coworker?

I think you're underselling just how ridiculous this "one coworker" was by essentially telling the entire world that something was your fault, and telling everyone that he's allowed to say that, when in reality it was irrational to blame you for that in the first place. You're asking an NFL wide receiver, the best in football, to suck it up after THAT? That's only one example too. It's been going on, remember all the talk of the "wifi connection" between them all season? Look, I'm not saying I agree with his antics, but what Ben did was outrageous and by no means should he be free of blame here. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The kids call that a straw man argument. I’m just saying the grass ain’t always greener. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
