AB

Not at all. But did the team try to after he did that work things out with AB?

 

It's just the truth. You'd have a point if the team cut AB or traded him while he hadnt told them he wanted out.

 

Ah.. I see..


So AB is the "Tragic Hero" after all!! Should have known!

 

No hes not but how can you say what he did is the reason why this is going on when the team didnt say we are done with you because of that. AB choose to leave. The team didnt cut him or try to trade him to get rid of him. That's my whole point.

 

But what did his own actions cost him? He was benched for the final game but that's it. I've never heard of anyone wanting out of a team because of what they themselves did. And I sincerely doubt that one last week is why he

 

I'm happy Antonio Shmuckatelli is leaving with Ward's team leading stats intact.

Whoever thought that would happen? Funny how the universe rights itself.

 

Kevin Colbert just said he doesnt deem any relationship "irreparable". Also that's why Rooney wanted to meet with AB. To see what can be done. If AB wanted to mend fences and work things out he'd be back. He requested a trade and has made it clear he doesnt want to be back. The team was willing to work things out. Ab is not. He could still be in Pittsburgh going forward if he so choose. So that's why idk why anyone is bringing up bis actions. Just like leveon there are several other teams and fans clamoring for his services. Steelers aren't the only team in the NFL. Glad they are moving on from both and vis versa.

I've also never seen a player requests a trade to get away from a qb and AB is not the only WIDE RECEIVER to have problems with Ben. Two other pro bowlers who played for Pitt has. What receiver requested a trade to get away from Montana, Brady, manning, elway, brees etc.. what receiver left them and said now I'm playing with a "real leader" like sanders said. What WR wins a sb mvp with a qb but has nothing but bad things to say about him like ward did about Ben. Edelman has nothing but praise for Brady. Same for the guys in denver and indy for manning. Rice loves Montana. Everyone from denver loved elway. Etc.. . Only guy you can even say a similar situation happened with is Rodgers and Greg Jennings but difference is Greg Jennings wanted to be back in GB and they were the ones who GOT RID OF HIM. he didnt force a trade to try to get his way out. I've also never seen a qb finger point and blame coaches and teammates like Ben does. So there you have it for the I never seen anyone elses....

 

Why? Because AB says so and because of the one time that Ben publicly called out AB (which he shouldn't have)?

Other than that one instance after the Denver game, what more evidence do you have that Ben has called out or been disrespectful toward AB? And I don't want to hear what past players have said about Ben's leadership abilities either. I want specific times that Ben has called out AB. If you can't give them and rely only on assumptions rather than facts, you're playing a he said/she said game and you're backing a proven mentally unstable narcissist in AB.

Did you watch ABs bizarre 9 minute Twitter clip? Do you see ANYTHING wrong with it, or do think that's normal and okay? Serious question.

After watching that, I can't help but wonder if a big part of Ben calling out AB has to do with years of mental abuse suffered at the hand of the unstable and volatile Brown, and he finally lashed out. If he's going to rant like that on Twitter, just imagine what it must be like behind closed doors, in the locker room. God knows what suffering Ben and the rest of the team must have been subjected to working with a guy like that.

And how valuable is ABs word when he says that Ben is disrespectful toward him? A malignant narcissist like Brown undoubtedly views ANY disagreement or constructive criticism as disrespect. I'd imagine something as simple as trying to work on timing on a play and Ben giving his input on something that Brown doesn't agree with is perceived as 'disrespect.'

Brown is a clown and responsible for 99% of what is going on. Good bye and good riddance. I can't wait for the meltdowns when some crappy QB is consistently missing him.

 

So everyone including former STEELERS players are just talking about ben's leadership for no reason?

 

Clark also said in that same exact interview BEN IS NOT A LEADER since you want to gold whatever he says as gospel. Also him being a "dick" means nothing. He can show up and be a dick and guess what? The team would still be forced to pay him. So idk what your point is in that with the whole they wont trade him for nothing thing. He wants to be trade yes but guess what if hes not the team is stuck with him just as much as he is.. they would be forced to keep what you all deem a "cancer" around. They would be forced to tolerate the actions Rooney said were not tolerable. So what's your point? And I've never seen a player have to publicly requests and trade and say publicly its "time to move on" from a team that doesnt want him back.

 

You're saying the whole trade thing as if they are threatening him by say oh well we wont just give you away nor cut you. So if they dont give him away or cut him what will ultimately happen? They will be REQUIRED to pay what next yr for a year would be the highest base salary in the NFL for a wide receiver for a guy according to you and mr Rooney did something that was "unacceptable ". So you seriously think Rooney and co will want to keep him around and pay him just because they didnt get "high enough offers"? Explain how he loses here. He's still owed that money. Ain't like they can not pay him without cutting him or trading him.

 

At least it looks as if Pittsburgh is finally putting their foot down in this mess. It's been a game for far too long.

 

And when did he flip the owner of?

 

So you think the steleers will pay him to sit at home? Because if he plays he will cause the team more harm than the team would cause him. With the way he and Ben seem to be theres NO WAY they could coexist on the team together AND be part of a winning environment. We'd really fall to the bottom.
