Steelers release Patterson

Some of these comments confuse me. Why the hatred toward Patterson? He was a failed signing, but it's not like he wanted to suck. He wasn't a cancer in the locker room. He wasn't a character issue. He just got old. We don't need to hate a guy just because he got old.

Other than Jeh. We can still hate him because he's old.

 

Thanks. I was pointing out the fact and according to last years snaps he has had alot of time off lol. I was surprised he made it this far. Another signing imho that did not prove to be wise. I am pretty sure AS lobbied to have him here. Perhaps we should start wondering about AS and his ability to choose quality players.

 

I'm sure he knew it was coming some media members were saying they didn't even see him report to camp.

 

I have nothing against Patterson...he was a good player in his prime. But he's another "reclamation project" in a long line of washed up players Steelers have acquired over the past 5 years. We added a few more this year. This team needs to get younger... not older.

 

I was just going to say this.

 

We are getting younger.....while remaining competitive. Think of all the guys on the team that haven't even been here long enough for a contract outside of their rookie contracts.
