    The kid did something stupid. That's what kids do. He posted it on social media. That's what kids do nowadays. JuJu hasn't shown a pattern of character issues before so I'm labeling this driving stuff as just a youthful indiscretion.

    Let's not be too quick to judge any undesirable behavior as a sign that he's turning into another AB. One immature moment from a 23 year old doesn't make him a head case.

    It doesn't make him a headcase, but it does put him on everyone's radar.

    Rooney gave him what he wanted. He made the right decision imo.

    Exactly. I don't think anybody was saying he is another Brown. I am concerned that his priorities are not in the right place and that may be showing in his play on the field.

    I said he seemed like a person who will turn shade once the production stopped. We shall see

    Because we've seen great receivers have success with bad qbs. Look at hopkins in Houston for example. He was putting up monster numbers when they had 3 different qbs a season. Tyreek hill was producing without MAHOMES. If you're that good long as the ball is getting in your area code you can make plays. I'm not saying qb isnt a factor but imo juju isnt good enough to produce without good talent around him. That's why I dont think hes a number 1. Hes a number 2. And I mean its just common nfl knowledge that when teams have someone the caliber of an ab, hopkins, julio, tyreek hill etc.. they double those guys. Only time they dont is when they have someone like ramsey or gilmore who you can trust guarding them 1 on 1 without help.

    He keeps bringing up the qb as if there isn't evidence of great receivers producing when there star qb goes down..

    No one claimed Juju was a "great" WR. He is a young WR. He can continue to grow and improve. I don't care if Juju is a number 1 or 2. He could end up becoming a HOF WR by the time his career is over.

    He proved he can produce at a high level in the league. He doesn't need AB to play opposite him to be a productive WR. What WR's need to be consistently productive is good QB play. AB, Hopkins, or anyone else would have a difficult time producing at a high level with the QB's the Steelers have this season.

    QB play is the MAIN factor for WR production. It's unfair to judge the Steelers WR's until they get consistently adequate QB play.

    So osweiler, Brian Hoyer, matt moore, ryan mallett, etc.. are significantly better than what the Steelers had at qb this yr? I also forgot mike Thomas producing without brees.

    What's his point because again we've seen great receivers produce without good qb play so idk why he keeps bringing that up as if we havent seen in several circumstances wrs balling without good QBs.

    These QBs actually threw the ball to their receivers. How many targets does JuJu have this year?

    What did Ben say last year with AB on the team? I think he said I should have stayed with JUJU.
    Enough said, He is far and away the best receiver we have without a doubt. He needs to embrace these young
    Qb's and keep improving. He is a superior talent.

    A lot of his bad playing is bc of Ben being out and an unproductive MR. Look at the difference in the receivers in just 1.5 games with the Duck. Washington was on the verge of being in the same class as Sweed. Add in the fact that MR targeted Washington more than JuJu as well. Man I hope JuJu doesnt go stupid, I really like this kid and his attitude.

    Who throws the ball is no excuse for alligator arms and playing scared. You're either a team player or you aren't.

    Juju can come back and the number 2 WR. Juju does have the early signs of diva. Dude like Washington doesn’t seem like that
