    I know this may have been mentioned the other day, but now it's made its way to the media. Multiple sources are starting to mention that the front has voiced concern that AB is too worried about himself.

    I don't know guys, if the front office is voicing concern, there's more to it than some of you care to admit about it "being normal for a WR." I know everyone wants to look good with their stats, that's normal, but if the Rooneys are noticing it, that's very concerning!

    Pair that with what I happened to come across this morning, one scouts analysis of him coming out of college, and dots are being connected...

    Take out the "has prima donna attitude" and they didn't get a single thing right.

    Do you have links about the front office? Just like to read it for myself because that would give me pause.

    a true test of their feelings for AB84 will come this offseason when or if, a contract extension is discussed. If an extension is not offered, they may be willing to part ways when his contract ends.

    Maybe we could find a good college lacrosse player to replace him? :shrug:

    He does seem very upset when he's not filling up the stat sheet. I've noticed that. Dude is starting to rub me the wrong way. His new contract is gonna cripple us too, He's a great WR, but he's not in the realm of Julio, OBJ, AJ Green, Hopkins IMO. Ben and the offensive scheme have inflated his stats for sure. IF he stays i hope the cap hit doesn't kill us. Man i wish bryant wasn't a big question mark, really have no choice but to sign AB

    And more so, can you imagine how he's gonna handle if Green and Bryant come back next year and are getting looks?!?!?!?!

    I'm starting to wonder if it wouldn't be a bad idea to see if they can get multiple 1st round picks for him...

    Bob Labriola said he felt like Tomlin basically took a shot across the bow to him in his presser after the video fiasco by saying something like "If he wants to be here going forward..." or something like that.

    Call Cleveland, I'll take their 1st round picks the next 2-3 years and Pryor. I picked him in our fantasy league because I had a hunch that he was going to be a beast. Could you imagine him with Ben?!

    I'll take nobodies that play hard and with heart over divas any day. Like rogers, ayers, Jesse James etc.

    Pats have tons of nobodies. They shut up and do their assignment

    Like I've been saying he's not getting an extension. His antics the past week solidified that. Steelers don't pay receivers and especially not about to hand him the money he wants with how he's been acting. So either he mans up next season or pulls a Wallace and throws our season. Then he will be with the Dolphins. The writing has been on the wall for awhile now.

    I know one thing, I'm starting to have a really hard time at the thought of investing $75-80 million into him

    Yes, his comment was something along the lines of "that's why players bounce around from team to team" or something to that effect.

    Fair enough.

    Where there's smoke, there's fire...and there's been smoke since Kansas City. The bull$*** pass to AB as time expired in KC game instead of chucking it to endzone, checking out of a run inside the 5 to AB for an INT...I'm just connecting the dots that are in front of me

    Part of the issue may be that he's apparently being "mentored" by Primetime along with several other players, OBJ among them. Sanders is the ultimate diva who's all about himself!

    Ben had to console AB after that. Ben constantly forces throws to him to keep him happy.


    Ward didn't do that ****.

    I almost feel like AB adds extra pressure to Ben as well, thus making Ben try to force feed into double coverage...trying to inflate those stats so he doesn't pout on the bench. He's messing up the rotation man. I'm not hating just making some observations. Rogers looks special he should get as many looks as he can, and like stated above once MB comes back and Rogers gets another training camp under his belt he will be a force. On the flip side, those guys could open the field up for AB as well so who knows.

    Pryor does not want to play in Pittsburgh and has said so on multiple occasions. Because he's from the area and doesn't want the distractions.

    If they are exploring trades, the LA Rams would be an option. At least it would be NFC

    If we don't keep AB, are there any receivers out there in the draft that look good?

    Id like to see video of this or any kind of interview. People getting up in arms over something Aditi witnessed from afar.

    when the head coach has to say something to him and it's put in text, the front office knows about it. :cool:
