    Obviously I didnt mean the whole team. I was engaging in hyperbole because most say who wouldnt want to play for such a storied franchise.

    If you didn’t mean the whole team, why did you say everyone? Why not just say what you mean? It’s a lot simpler that way.

    Sarcasm aside, but that goes in green font.

    Because up until recent turmoil, it has been true. Greg Jennings was talking about on the Herd one day. Said when he left GB to go to Miami, you don't realize what you have until its gone. Got to Miami and was like, wtf is this, total dysfunction. He said GB and Pittsburgh are just on another level as organizations. NE too. May have mentioned others but I don't recall. They were discussing the AB situation and how he might want to rethink leaving.

    I know that historically but guys these dont Care about these things anymore. They are worried about self these days it's a different era. That's why that argument normally now never enters the equation when questioning why a player leaves a certain team.

    If you're talking about the old players? Then yes or better yet QBs. Everyone else though isnt like that. It's clear from around the nfl that this is the era of Me players.

    Jennings isn't that far removed from the game. He left GB under very similar circumstances as AB is having, left because of a dispute with Rogers. His message is AB is in for a rude awakening if he leaves.

    Can't blame Burnett. Steelers will continue to be a train wreck with Tomlin at HC.

    Burnett season can be remembered in one play, him giving up that 35 yd pass in the 4th qtr against the Raiders. He had no clue where the ball was in coverage.

    Burnett wants out now because he is likely to get cut after preseason. Too much money for someone to back up Edmunds.

    I think Mack holding out & then getting paid big $$$ has alot to do with AB's behavior. Lets force a trade & renegotiate a better and bigger deal type of thinking.

    Do I need to make you a list? You are well aware of the players that wanted out, made demands one way or another, became a distraction , and ended up on other teams. Harrison, Blount, Holmes, Bell, etc. We should have never given Harrison his release even though it was Tomlin's fault for lying to him and letting him rot in the first place.

    GB is a possibility but JH will come out of retirement and play for NE again before AB ever lands on their roster.

    Yes he had injuries but he also played in 11 games as a hybrid LB. He was the best safety on the team - period. We missed the playoffs in large part because of our safety failures. You can make a long list about why this past season was the worst coaching performance by a steeler HC in almost 50 years. This is just one of many gaffes we witnessed this year by Mike Tomlin.

    Burnett how many plays did he make when he played? Not many, good riddance his salary for 2019 would be 5 million.

    Mack was near the end of his rookie deal, he also had won DPOY and is younger than AB.

    Lame narrative you're trying to push, every team deals with players who wants out sometimes. It wasn't a mistake releasing Harrison, he didn't accomplish anything after he left, screw that traitor.
