    Martavis Bryant is unhappy with his role and wants a trade. After a big win at KC the circus goes on.

    Don’t let door hit you on the way out, bum.

    I know he hasn’t done much this year but everyone knows what he’s capable of. Maybe trade him and a late round draft pick for a decent backup QB. McCarron or Garropolo?- - maybe I’m just getting my hopes up.

    He can blame himself.


    His drop rate this year stinks compared to JuJu. In addition, JuJu can continue to sustain drives via his combat catching ability.


    Add the fact that JuJu has a warriors mentality upon each time he catches in comparison to Martavis and it is not difficult to see why JuJu's snap count has increased.



    He has himself to blame for his own decisions and transgressions. If he is unsatisfied then so be it.



    JuJu will get better, which in turn, means the entire offense will too as drives will continue to be sustained.

    yea, I just got that report on my phone as well. I'm not exactly sure what he thinks he's worth. He hasn't shown much since having an entire year off and on top of that, his drug history makes him a huge risk. Nobody is going to give anything.

    He needs to shut up and play better.

    For those thinking my previous post is berating Martavis... think again.


    Going back to this offseason, I wanted Martavis to prove everyone wrong. I also knew it would take some time as well for him to re-acclimate himself within the game.


    However, I did not anticipate JuJu developing this much in such a short period of time. Do to this development in addition to Martavis' own productuon woes, Pittsburgh will always go with the more proven and successful option.



    In short? Martavis' undoing will be undone by his own over-confidence. He is too athletically gifted for his own good and has not shown any significant development into developing into a more rounded receiver.



    If he elects to act self centered to the team that welcomed hik back with open arms, so be it.

    He wants out.... send him packing then. After all this organization has done for him he should be grateful that he has a job.

    Honestly.........Hamilton made more splash plays last year for the team than Bryant has so far this season. Not saying bring Hamilton back, but Bryant obviously is not doing well. I would not trade him though unless the offer was insane. If he mopes, sit him or deactivate him. I would not trade him to a contender.

    If I were Tomlin I would deactivate him right now, and ban him from all team facilities starting now. Call the Giants and see what they want for him.

    I wonder what he is capable of. I can't remember the last time he did anything. I guess the flip td catch in the playoffs comes to mind, but that was years ago.

    JuJu is a slot guy. He's just a little more suited to some of the routes they want to run crossing and or blocking.

    That said Martavis is a game breaker. I don't get people dogging his hands. Wasn't to many complaints when he caught a ball on his thigh while flipping out the back of the end one in a playoff game...

    He has very little trade value, that's for sure. Wonder if this is immature thinking about loud stuff.

    I was referring to this season specifically. :smiley1:


    Entirely though is much different. My issues with him stem from consistency; much of it having him to do with being a year off. Within the same vein, he should work more on being a complete receiver than a deep threat overall.



    Regarding JuJu, I diaagree. Much was said about Hines and he became a near complete receiver. I see something similar for JuJu in his future.

    You guys might want to wait on the roasting. Theres nothing backing this up yet.


    As far as him not doing well, Ben lost the ability to throw the long ball. Kind of nullifies Bryants whole roll.
