Anybody still want Richie Incognito on the Steelers?

After the NFL investigation came out today he's even a worse piece of crap than I thought he was. I never wanted him on the team let him go somewhere else and be a meat head.

 

Pass

 

Nope. Didn't want him in the first place.

 

Havent see the new report...but YES until I at least read whats come out

HACK

 

what a despicable human being

 

No on Incognito, and I am fine with our version of Pouncey not being here as well for a few reasons.

1. He's the offensive Woodley of the group (albeit without slumping after the big payoff) but brittle nonetheless.

2. We won't be able to afford what he will ask come time to do so and further have to justify doing so with his having produced little in the way of earning the asking price.

3. He's been made expendable at the center position by 3 different lineman the last 2 years. Which is why I thought he'd always be a better guard if in fact he factors into our future.

4. He's an asshat like his brother, but I guess don't have the common crimies to help embellish that fact... as does his brother (good for our guys). But the parading of standing by a p.o.s. Like Hernandez (wether friends or not the idea of the evidence presented so far is really overwhelmingly indicative) suggests that his morale and idea of reality is skewed.

Run him off I says

 

I dont see how anyone could want him on their team

oh wait the self proclaimed smart guy does

 

I don't want either of them.

 

Just as I suspected.

 

I Love you brother! Lol!

 

Well said...

 

I never cared for him to begin with. I read the texts exchanged between both players. Well almost all of it..

I found it very troubling and juvenile. These guys are acting like adolescents

Bman

 

This is exactly what people should do,
hey they may get the best of you. but
atleast you get your punches in.

I hope the Steelers just say no to both of these players.

 

When I first read the text messages, it seemed like he was a little rough around the edges, but not all that different from a lot of other guys in the league. It seemed that although he rode him hard, he appeared to actually care about Martin as a teammate and a person. I would have taken him on the team as I don't think he would act the same way here as he did in Miami.

This report paints a different picture and after reading most of it, I wouldn't want Incognito on the team. A lot of what he did went too far and it extends past just teasing Martin. I still think he could probably be a good player and a good teammate in the right situation, but I wouldn't want the headache of having him on the team. I also think Pouncey is probably a lot like Incognito we just haven't heard about it.

As for Martin, the guy is far too soft. He was bullied in high school, he was bullied in college and now he's been bullied in the NFL. It's quite clear that the guy cannot stand up for himself. He's mentally soft and that's the last thing we need on this team. We've already lost a lot of our attitude and swagger, we don't need even more soft players on the team. I'm not saying bullying is okay or that it's Martin's fault, because it's not, but I want guys on our team who will stand up for themselves and their teammates. I want guys like Joey Porter and Jerome Bettis, not a guy who cries himself to sleep because his teammates were mean to him.

Bullying is never okay, but at the same time, if people learned how to stand up to bullies, they wouldn't exist. I'd rather get beat up every day of my life then be pushed around. Even if you get beat up, standing up to a bully will usually put a stop to it. Bullies want easy targets, not someone who will challenge them constantly.

 

Goodness, no. Let the Browns or Bengals have him.

 

Martin made the entire Dolphins franchise look bad by handling the incident the way he did. He should have played through the season, foregone the lawyer and talked to his coach about it first.

Who wants a player who walks away from their team mid-season?

Incognito is a moron. The Steelers line would be outstanding with good LT.

 

Blame the victim?

 

I agree. I dont want either of them. Incognito for obvious reasons. Martin, to me, is just too scarred at this point. I dont think moving to a different team/locker room is going to make him forget all of the bullying he has endured.

 

Forget, nah. But assuming his new team doesn't pick right up where his old team left off, I don't think it would be a problem at all. I don't see the potential issues, unless someone on our team threatens to kill him or something (in which case, Martin is not our issue - a lesson I wish more people would have learned from the Incognito saga). I think some people are imagining that he'll sob and hold a press conference if someone whips him on the ass with a towel once.

To me the question is: is he a good enough OT to deserve a spot on the team? I haven't followed him closely, but I'm under the impression that he's got potential but has underperformed, not unlike our own 2nd round pick from 2012, Mike Adams. We've already got one of those. Not sure we need another.
