    From a team standpoint he absolutely was

    Keep in mind one was team MVP and the other was kicked off the team

    One was an asset one was a liability

    In other words, you don't understand the difference between popularity and value.

    Gainwell produced more positive plays in 2025 than Pickens did in 2024. I'd pick Gainwell over Pickens anyday.... based solely on attitude. Gainwell acts like a pro.... Pickens is a clown.

    As the great Mike Singletary once said as a head coach.... "Can't win with him, even though he has all the talent in the world."

    Absomflutley, I don't see Pickens make a play like Gainwell did in the Lions game.
    He would have got off the ground and taunted the defender and walked of the field there
    never playing the play out

    I understood it the first time. I disagree with it. I know it is difficult for you to handle people disagreeing with you, which is why you are disrespectful to other posters so often. You confused popularity and production. You might want to work on that.

    My only error was in acting as if you would engage in a reasonable discussion rather than look for another excuse to post more personal nonsense. Given that my brother had a reading disability, I can't say I am fond of you mocking people with dyslexia, either.

    Please provide one example of Pickens doing something like that with the ball in his hands. One. When you can't do that, come back and admit you were making things up because you don't like the guy.

    Edit: I see you marked this as hilarious, which tells me you can't find the example.

    Gainwell got the ball a lot more in 2025 than Pickens did in 2024. You do know they play different positions, right? Were you fooled by them having the same jersey number?

    No, show me an example of him doing something like that with the ball in his hands. I am well aware that he took plays off. I was one of the people complaining about that on here before most other posters here noticed. That doesn't mean you give up on a guy that talented, but Tomlin didn't want to deal with challenging players any more, so the team made the very large mistake of giving away a soon-to-be All-Pro for three and a day-three pick, then giving up a two for a far lesser player who was also a knucklehead.

    Pickens needed to go
    Only Jesus can help him
    Be interesting what Dallas does after the franchise tag
    Also interesting to see if Pickens can stay on ledge without falling off
    A zebra can’t change it’s stripes
    I totally agree with you about DK
    Didn’t like it when we signed him
    And furthermore after watching him play and his silly antics
    Reinforces my not wanting him

    Dk 2025 stats
    59 receptions for 850 yards and 6 touchdowns across 16 games
    Pretty good numbers for a #1 wr
    Said nobody ever

    Pickens 2024 stats
    59 receptions for 900 yards and 3 touchdowns over 14 games
    both laughable for #1 wrs

    If they were legos
    We could combine
    And than we would’ve had a true #1 wr

    Yeah, it would have sucked for the Steelers to have a guy who was a second-team All-Pro instead of the knucklehead who dropped way too many passes and got himself suspended for two games by being an immature idiot.:facepalm:

    The Steelers needed at least one of them. They chose the wrong one. Pickens didn't have to go, but Tomlin didn't want to deal with that sort of challenge any more.

    I honestly don’t think any wr for the Steelers in past few years
    With our coaching and schemes would be a second team all pro
    Pickens was done a favor to shine
    No way he would have put them numbers up in Pittsburgh like he did in Dallas
    Our offense is akin to working at

    Metcalf is three years older and he has been i the NFL four years longer. He is what he is while Pickens clearly had more upside, which he turned into production with the Cowboys.

    I never said he would have had those numbers, but he was a hell of a lot better than Metcalf.
