    I am not getting mad man I am just saying I am going on what I hear from the players. 3 of our biggest stars have come out in support of AB as far as welcoming him back. I can't speak of the other 50 that haven't said anything, nobody can.

    I have said many times I am good with or without AB if I have my choice I want him back but understand he would have a lot of making up to do. Sorry but I am about winning games and we are a better team with AB hands down no matter what anyone says. JMO And again I am not getting mad you and I are just seeing this different.

    So Fowler an ESPN reporter reports that AB had his own digs at training camp for at least the the last few years. And that everyone else, even Ben stayed in the St Vincent dorms.

    Yet, local Pgh media sends armies of reporters to cover training camp. The PG, the Trib, 3 local TV stations, sports radio. - All of whom will tell you what great objective reporters they are - never knew anything about this?

    And when it finally comes out, it's ESPN that reports it, the local media act astonished.

    Yep. This relationship is unrepairable.

    Just hope Brown isn't hurting his trade value.

    I wish Ben would come out and say you know what “f**k AB”. He don’t eanna be here so we’ll keep it moving and replace his spot”.


    I cannot believe with all AB is doing no player has the nuts to call him out but they were quick to smash Bell and he didn’t do remotely close what AB is doing.

    He is absolutely hurting his trade value, which is why they are going to be better off keeping him.

    Somebody should explain to Brown that if he wants out, his best course of action is to shut the hell up.

    i wld trade for a 2nd rnd pick, if he goes to a team w a not as productive passing offense like the jaguars it wld be endless comedy

    (nothing against Bortles, seems like a decent guy and a playmaker )

    No, someone else said it and AB “liked” it.

    Ben’s silence speaks volumes here too. Unless I missed it, he hasn’t publicly tried to smooth things over. I’m sure Ben is hoping AB is gone this season.

    Actually, he said Brown was one of his closest friends on the team and that he wanted him back.

    Cook: Brown has to go.

    He's a 100% right. I don't like saying that, people think I'm talking out of anger, they're wrong. AB has been one of my favorite Steelers. I just don't see how he can be on the team and make that work. The way to show you are taking control of the team and that things will be different from here on out is make an example of him. Ship his ass out of town.

    Without AB this team is in rebuild mode and the vets know that. They also know nothing is going to change with or without him. We just saw it happen with Bell, and nothing has changed, except no playoffs. The problem that needs to go is 'the standard', and we know who that is.

    How about "whatever a team that doesn't make the playoffs in consecutive years" is called.

    Keeping him? How? He has alienated all his teammates, Coach, fans, and the OWNER! He won't contact any of them, but will post daily on social media, either making fun, or talking **** on " his " team...While having time to communicate and post on " other" teams media oulets...

    He did wrong and he continually is laughing at all of us...missed meetings, practices, outburts at practice and games, special treatment that other players don't get, still talking **** on his QB, Facebook Live, Harrison...and on and on...

    And you want him back...I just can't see how all this stuff combined is NOT irrevocable?

    They'll be fine. Reading some of these posts, its a wonder how Ben ever found the end zone before AB came along.

    His work ethic is undeniable. He works harder than anybody in the league. His biggest critics even acknowledge that.

    Yeah a team can lose 2 top 5 players within the span of a year and replace them overnight. Cant wait for that.

    Already replaced Bells production so thats a non factor. To say they would be in a rebuild for losing AB is ridiculous. Teams lose star players to FA all the time, are they in a rebuild too?
