    AJ Brown pouts after every win if he wasn't getting touches.

    Did Pickens pout after the Ravens game where he wasn't targeted? Not sure but the prior game he had like 200 yards and 2 TD's so I think he was fine with it.

    When you have a star WR you have to feed them and you also have to be okay with them pouting sometimes when they aren't targeted.

    Pickens wasn’t pouting

    He was a poor team player etc

    But don’t let facts get in the way of your Madden Video approach to how a football team is run

    I have no problem with a player who pouts once in awhile as long as it doesn't affect anything else. I was good with Diontae Johnson until I saw him walking around during a play at his feet that got scooped up by the D. With Pickens it was a few times when we saw other players having to baby him on the sidelines. Especially his college teammate Broderick Jones. Jones has enough to worry about in his own game without having to take time out to massage a diva.

    FWIW, going back a few years I never had any problems with the "me first" shows from Chad Johnson and Terrel Owens - as long as it didn't interfere with the big picture of playing to win a title.

    It all depends on if they are a net positive to the team

    Until the end AB was a big time positive

    GP and DJ were both net negative and therefore had to go

    If you have breast cancer you get rid of it even if you want two matching boobs

    And you don't wait until you get a replacement before you get rid of the cancerous one

    Why is this so hard for a few people to understand

    Steelers got rid of Pickens pretty quickly, think about what a PIA he must have been behind the scenes. I assure you he wasnt sent packing for pouting.

    Actually if our own player doesn't tip the pass from Muth in the endzone, and make it a int, and our Rb knows that the ball touched him, and gets on it instead of letting the Seahawks get on it for a gift td, we would be 4-0 anyway.

    We should not have to game plan for what a player wants.

    Wait till Lamb comes back, and then we will see how happy he is.
