HOW DO YOU GRADE PICKENS TRADE TO DALLAS

No, I don’t. Please stop trying to read my mind. You do it poorly.
I think he made it up and now he is trying to cover it up with bluster and lame insults. I know he is t talking about me unless he is lying even more blatantly.

 

Jeh could settle this easily. He claimed that he found the post, but refused to link it.

According to this report Pickens was late to several games last year, he was also late to meetings and practice. Yeah, it was time for him to go

 

Provide the link or prove yourself to be a liar.

 

He is making things up. There is nothing foolish about calling him on it. If he had the evidence, he would have posted it by now.

Also my previous post was meant to read that I know he isn’t talking about me being the one to say Pickens is worth a 1st round pick. I am posting from my phone today. Far more prone to typos.

 

we will miss him doing good things and not miss him doing dumb things. that should cover it.

 

There is no argument on how talented Pickens is. His maturity has always been the big question. As much as I would have really liked to see him with DK Metcalf this season it was going to be his last season with us. I don't doubt for a second Pickens was going after big money this season and would not remain a Steeler for that reason. I would give this trade a B/C grad just for getting value rather than nothing at all. The only way would have gotten a higher comp in return is he was signed past this season.

 

A diva and cancer is gone. He wasn't going to resign with us after this year anyway. Win. win. win. He's Dallas' problem now.

 

A had an old boss years ago who used to say “Never mud wrestle with a pig, the pig enjoys it too much”.

 

I got no beef with the trade. Yeah, maybe Pickens is worth than a 3-rd. A problem child with one yr left on his contract is not gonna fetch much

If the thought is: 2nd rounder trade him, 3rd rounder keep him, that is not unreasonable, but it is full of risk, keeping George meant quitting on plays, pouting, tantrums, I don’t think you get better behavior because he wants a new contract. Hell, he thinks he deserves it now! So they ditched him now, when the could.

Fans can dream about what might happen have been. Keep him a year, with Rodgers and Metcalf and make some noise! Sign him long term and once fully compensated, he’ll be the pro bowler we expect him to be! But I think those options are bad bets.

 

Addition by subtraction

 

The Trade.

It's just another bad memory, a story of amazing talent and no brains and inability to coach them. Please scout players better.
"They don't fit in" - No crap?
It's bad all the way around and anyway you look at it. We wasted and 2nd, got a 3rd that's no win.
Should have never picked him.

I hate every aspect of it. He's gone, he's Dallas' problem... we wasted 3 years and and a 2nd rounder.
Could have traded down, maybe make a different pick.
I remember reading an article about Pickens issues at Georgia. Some thought if he could overcome those demons he could easily be the #1 WR in that 2022 class.
Maybe we need to hire a shrink as a special adviser to out scouting and GM's.

It is over and done.

 

They should take my advice and hire a shrink to help them as it seems talent-wise they can manage but player mentality they have no grasp of.

 

Warren should really be glad to see him go. Warren was running for a TD all he needed was a half assed block from Pickens to score. But Pickens gave no effort and just stood there and watched Warren get trucked short of the goal line. He said it was a "business decision". He should have been benched on the spot.
