    I guess in the postgame he was asked wether he was optimistic about the teams future and he said “nah”

    in context:

    “Yeah, I’ve seen signs of growth, for sure,” Pickens told reporters. “From past — first year I’ve been here, just way more growth, for sure.”

    Does that make him optimistic going forward?

    Uh, nah,” Pickens said

    I'm guessing he didn't understand the word 'optimistic' :lolol:

    “We are doomed”

    Why should he feel optimistic when they only target him once in the 1st half.

    I think MT enables these WRs but he’s a head case before he got here

    I don't know if they're mad, they're amazed. His words just speak to the deterioration of this team. They don't even have faith in their future.

    5 catches for 87 yards isn't checking out, and another big catch called back because of a penalty. Just admit you were wrong :rolleyes:.

    I mean he played better than vs Cincy. He still doesn’t want to be here regardless of what you think.

    While he's right and basically said out loud what everyone is thinking, saying it publicly is really just going to fracture the team.... statements like his are meant for the coaches ear and players only meetings......
    You have to be part of the solution, not the problem

    They need to explore trading him in the offseason because I would be surprised if they want to re-sign him.

    He’s special and worse yet, he knows it! Yeah, it can be good n bad, but in his head he’s looking for a QB that will get him the ball ALL THE TIME to make his mark. He thinks, I can be up there with the best, even better.

    Did you see that catch between two defenders and then he just strolled into the end zone, like it was an after thought? And it was cuz we weren’t going to win that game. Way too easy…

    He’s cursed to be on a team that’s searching for its next franchise QB.
    Problem child, yes, but special. As of now, he’s it! For how long?

    IMO.

    Agree that tells you, that you don't have a team you have a collection of individuals.

    GP is what I’ve always said he is…selfish, whining, excuse making crybaby diva. I’m not saying his statement by itself was wrong either. I’m saying it’s not something you say out loud as a player.

    How many other Steelers would’ve made that same remark following a loss, likely none. Such a jackass. All the talent in the world isn’t worth having a canker sore like GP
