    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.

    One of them

    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.

    The head coach had to tell the media he believes AJ Brown still wanted to be an Eagle after his cryptic message after a win in late September.

    That isn’t how the NFL works. Players who have star power have a ton of leverage when it comes to game planning.

    Like I said, the Steelers did a good job selling a story and quite a few folks here were suckered into believing it!

    For all the people like JEH that are trying to claim DK replaced George Pickens.

    Mike Tomlin on what a great WR room the Steelers are going to have with both DK and George Pickens in 2025.

    I 100% agree with Mike Tomlin here. The Steelers would have had one of the best WR rooms with both DK and George!!!

    I think most Steeler Fans would be talking Super Bowl right now, if George Pickens was still on this team.

    I really wanted to see what it would look like to have Rogers throwing to GP and Dk, but as soon as we picked up DK, I knew it wasn't happening, especially after Rogers worked out with DK and not GP. Too good to be true.

    Didn't Lamb play the first few games? So we've already seen.

    Yes Lamb played in part of two games, and had 16 catches and over 220 yards, and in those same games Picken only had 8 catches, and only 98 yards. So yes that's my point. Had that continued, we would see the real Pickens.

    If Pickens does well good for him

    Sometimes you need a slap in the face to wake up and get your stuff together

    But he had to go and if he didn’t he would have still been the cancer here

    This, and I can't remember a single person saying he had no talent, just the opposite, it was his attitude , and team play that was in question. We shall see how his attitude is when Lamb gets back in Dallas. Pickens didn't even have a hundred yards in two game combined when Lamb was playing.

    Yep, if he gets it together good for him but there is a big difference going from #1 to #2 on your own team than going to a new team where you are expected to be the number 2.

    We’ll see if the honeymoon continues but to pretend the two situations were the same is not based in reality.

    Or just hear me out..... he was not like you think and you got played by the media.

    Because, in the eagles game he jacked up an eagles player. Another game had pass interference, got fined with Lamb for the fine gesture celebration..... the difference is cowgirl are not crying about, while here all media and most fans cried.

    I care less about his pouting and antics. What I mostly hated to see and cared about was his inability to understand he need to do other things like blocking and not giving up on plays. He seems to think his only job was to catch the ball. The selfishness and self centeredness will continue. Dallas will have their hands full checking Georges ego. He may change but I rather doubt it. He is ultra competitive and shows signs of selfishness ( ego)
