    I'm so mad.

    Brown is way better then Beckham.
    They're both crybabies.

    I blame AB. Both him and Bell seemed determined not to let the Steelers profit off them.

    I despise both those guys now.

    Colbert should be fired just because of what the Giants did.

    Beckham isn't exactly stable himself.

    He hasnt done anything remotely close to AB. Come on now.

    He's also a premier WR himself and much younger.

    Colbert had no chance of getting that kind of haul for AB.

    Can we hire the guy who works at the auto mechanic for head coach? Gotta be better than what we have.

    Wanna coach the Steelers this year? Oh I don't know, I got a guy on the line about some white walls.

    Wow this Browns-Beckham trade makes the AB trade look that much more terrible. This deal had been rumored for weeks, the Browns probably purposely waited on this deal until after we traded AB :facepalm:. Colbert should nix that deal immediately or lose his job!

    I think alot of people, they are quickly becoming the favorite to win the AFC north
    No I'm not kidding, or joking. They are who we have to beat for the foreseeable future.

    I do blame AB for us not getting anything good however I am not sure Bell did anything that would cost us value no? I am pissed he sat out but where would we be right now without his 14.9 salary towards our cap?

    Never in my wildest dreams did I think the Steelers would ever be the laughing stock of the league. This is sad.

    I despise them now as well. Bell literally gave the middle finger to us all last year and Brown gave us the middle finger by destroying the Steelers ability to get good compensation for him.

    I would have turned the tables on Brown and gave him a big fat middle finger and told him your going nowhere and you can retire if you want to. The front office looked like fools before but now after this trade I don't even know what word to use to describe them. They should all be fired tonight.

    I hope the Browns redo his contract and give him more than AB got

    Yeah but the Steelers organization was worried about that 2.5 million they'd have to pay Brown. :facepalm:

    You still have to play the football games. Apparently the whole NFL misses the point that a 41 year old qb just won the super bowl with a bunch of guys from jiffy lube.

    If you think dream teams win Super Bowls you be wrong look no further than the 2011 Eagles.

    But no doubt brownies are in it to win it and are going to be favored.

    Everything aside I like the Steelers when they are the under dog, the team usually does better.

    We can look at it this way those poor bastard Browns have been in last place for 20 years. On paper they do seem loaded and way better then us but they are in fact the Browns. I do think the Steelers are in big trouble next year and for a while however. Go Redsox !

    While AB definitely did his fair share in destroying his compensation. It didn't help when Colbert made it abundantly clear that Ben was the unquestioned leader and above reproach. If there was any hope they could co exist if we retained AB it was quickly dispelled. Add in the fact that teams knew we were in a rush to get rid of him before his bonus kicked in didn't help either.

    That's a good point. Everyone here knows the Steelers record against teams when they are favored...abysmal

    You left out Ol Popcorn Tomlin. His lack of being a disciplinarian has played a big part in why this team will continue to struggle if he doesn't start taking hold. I don't think he can do it.

    In fairness the Pats are a bit of an anomaly. At some point talent is gonna win out again.

    Beckham is a lot younger than AB. Meanwhile, this makes the cheaper alternative of Breshad Perriman, who is a huge sleeper, more viable.

    Though he hasnt proven it long enough yet, Odell when it's all said and done will be better than AB.
