The Steelers should've kept George Pickens for this season

Nope

I just don’t waste time on foolishness

I prefer to think on my own but I realize not everyone can do that so they post other people’s thoughts

 

This was a Steelers decision not Rodgers I sure wouldn't rely on Florio and Poni for the truth.

 

BUT NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO

 

I often see people saying Pickens would only have 400 yards in this offense but I think this is said as a coping mechanism because they know we screwed up.

I also remember a lot of fans saying g Pickens would crash out in Dallas because they already had Lamb. Hasn’t happened.

You see.. when an offense throws the ball downfield good things happen if you have talent to catch the ball. This Smith offense with 3 TE’s and a LT eligible is a joke.

Focusing on Pickens “taking off a play” and demanding justice is a damn joke. The Pittsburgh media also deserves blame. They were on Pickens the moment he got here and made sure fans hated him over a few minor infractions. Missing a meeting isn’t the end of the world. Being late to a walk thru isn’t the end of the world. Taking a play off isn’t the end of the world. These were teachable moments for a talented WR.

So instead of tolerating a young headache we got rid of him and brought in an expensive replacement who also takes plays off.. can’t win 50/50 balls or climb the ladder to catch balls that aren’t perfect and gets penalties after the whistle.

In closing, this thread will remain at the top until the end of the season or until our passing offense turns things around. Avoid it if it makes you upset. Watching Pickens shine while we rust makes a lot of fans even more upset.

 

The cowboys seem to be handling his behavior well enough. And hes made their offense that much more potent.

In retospect, we shouldve kept him. Maybe Tomlin is getting tired of handling ultra talented but difficult players, if thats the case maybe he should step down, hes been around too long and its really starting to show

 

A few infractions? One of the most fined Steeler in a 3 year span.

 

With Nance and Romo in town announcing after being in Dallas announcing

There's going to be a ton of references

 

Now the truth is coming out about Team Management. Can't Blame George Pickens for this.

Aaron Rodgers talking about WR missing practice and film sessions.
Aaron Rodgers calls out unnamed receivers for skipping film sessions, running wrong routes

I could be wrong this may be TE Jonnu Smith.

 

They need to get Marquez in the lineup…I don’t care how old he is…he is a proven NFL caliber WR who has done it the right way.

Roman isn’t doing much, and Austin is a undersized WR that doesn’t have any qualities to change the game.

 

Been saying this since it happened and I would say most of the board lectured me on it. A couple told me he didn’t fit our scheme. I was thinking to myself, what scheme is that, the scheme where receivers actually Receive.

Our receivers looked pitiful. Just pitiful, all of them.

 

Pickens has elite hands…probably the best since AB…and better than DK for sure.

 

..this is a fact

 

The current team is 6-6. They are playing sloppy, stupid football. One of their supposed leader, Geyward, held out a year after getting a new deal, played like crap most of the season, and was too focused on jawing with Allen to do his job today.

They don’t have a winning attitude. What they do have is an offense that is falling apart because it doesn’t have enough weapons. The guy who should have been their best weapon is playing for the Cowboys.
So they severely weakened the team and ended up with a selfish, undisciplined team anyway. You are way off on this one, and your personal attack on the OP just demonstrates the weakness of your argument even further.

 

No, we don’t know that. What we know is Tomlin has been increasingly quick to get rid of players who cause any problems. You are also assuming things that don’t fit the evidence. We have seen the Steelers leak negative stories about players after they trade them or let them go to try to make controversial moves look better. I think that made him look worse than he was, so no, I don’t think there was more that they kept hidden.

 

I see that winning attitude shining through.

 

It is J Smith. In another interview script, Rogers named Smith.

 

The Steelers have been offering up scapegoats for their lack of discipline and sloppy play for a while now. It costs them talent and never fixes the problem.

If students in class mostly get Ds, with only a few grades ever above a C and a smattering of failures, the problem isn’t the few students who fail. It is the teacher.

 

Can't believe how silly they are sometimes.
Gosh!!!!
We could really use Pickens today against division rival
Obviously.
Arrrrrrrgh they upset me so much

 

With a completely new staff and a HC that is West Coast passing centric, do you make a serious bid to get Pickens back? Will he buy into McCarthy and his offense in Pittsburgh? After last season Pickens is likely to command $30M+ /yr. That would be a big splash for another WR.

 

With DKs price, how much can we afford for another WR?

 

He would still be a cancer

 

He will be on franchise Tag by the cowboys or it will be a extension with Dallas

 

That's what will most likely happen.

What's done is done between the Steelers and Pickens. I just don't see either party being interested in the other at this point.

 

He will be on franchise Tag by the cowboys or he will be a FA

He will want to test FA and therefore will not agree to an extension

 

Hey @forgotten1 where do you suppose this OP should be
