    It's about time he started living up to that big contract he got last season. I'm not a fan of his actions though dancing after a touchdown when your team is losing and you haven't won a game this season. Also that crap he does after every first down it comes across as me first and kind of selfish.

    I like the guy. There is a reason they signed him before Wallace.

    Just like there was a reason they drafted Gilbert?

    He's not as modest as Barry Sanders was... But most aren't and haven't been for awhile. He is a special player though and once we get him in the right spot as a slot receiver it's on!

    It just shows that not every decision is smart.

    Brown is ok, but I still think they could have signed him for at least 1mil less/year.

    I saw highlights of Wes Welker scoring a TD and he handed the ball to the ref and after high-fiving his teammates, he went to the sidelines.

    Always liked that guy and I don't know if he always acts like that but I wish more players would.

    Wow this coming after he just grabbed 9 balls for 200 yards and 2 tds. I don't mind the celebration and dancing Ward did it all the time.

    I don't mind him celebrating, I just want him to do it after TOUCHDOWNS, not first downs. It was good to see him score two TDs on Sunday.

    I never minded a good td celebration but in recent years they have became more increasingly about the player as opposed to the team but the league won't allow you to celebrate "excessively" so I guess that might explain why it seems that way.

    I don't really mind the first down I really think he picked that up from Hines. Every time he does it it reminds me of ward so I actually kinda like it.

    Which one are you talking about, signaling first down by going to your knee and pointing or the standing up and extending the ball out and dropping it? Because I only seem to recall him doing the later and he got that from holmes (I hate that one by the way)

    I was gonna say he got it from Holmes as well. They always do it was a first down celebration but I think of the gesture as more that they are pointing toward the end zone and trying to say they are inevitably gonna be there.

    The dropping the ball one ward started doing that when they banned going to the ground. Brown never played with Holmes. I absolutely think the Steelers made the right decision between him and Wallace. I honestly can't wait to see home, Wheaton, and Moye next year.

    I can't remember Hines doing that, not saying he didn't, just don't remember, I thought Holmes started it.

    I don't remember a lot of showboating by Hines. He would celebrate a TD but he usually just smiled his way to the EZ without all of the shenanigans.

    I thought he was trying to say that some times the Steelers miss on talent.

    I chalk it up to incredibly bad timing by the OP.
