    here we go kids. buckle up.
    1. 2021 Met was EJECTED after grabbing the facemask of not one, but TWO defenders in the packers game.
    2. He even tried to re-enter the game after his ejecti9on
    3. 2024 Met had a physical altercation with Bears player where he literally headbutted him. which lead to not one but TWO penalties
    4. Met vs 49ers
    5. High penalty rate he draws 3 times as many penalties, including numerous 10 and 15 yard infractions.
    6. Fined by the shield for $11,255 for unnecessary roughness penalty on the giants in 2024.
    7. despite penalties, Met flat out told the media "I'm not going to change the way I play or who I am"
    8. Met learned sign language so he would not get penalties for taunting and talking trash.
    9. Pete Carrol even said the team tracks the penalties that Met causes and that Met was the leader in penalties.
    10. you think steeler fans were bad with complaining about pickens atitude? Ha, seahawk fans had articles written by non seahawks beatwriters for them.
    11. Dude fights during training camp (hence why I said our beat writers will be writing day one he gets into camp)
    12. fined for hit on Witherspoon
    13. Met swung his freaking helmet at his own teammate.

    no fan can convince me the steelers are trying to get rid of cancer problem; Pickens. MetCalf makes Pickens look like child's play to Mental unsatbility, penalties, etc.

    by the way, I am a Pickens fan. and I will be a Met fan. I like players who talk crap and call at refs. I find it hilarious Met learned sign language so he could taunt.

    Did Met give up on plays or not block or not tackle on INTs?

    if not, then he’s way ahead of Pickens.

    Y'all throw around a lot of non sense of not knowing what you're speaking on.

    Dude not only gets called out for it, but even tells the media he doesn't care.

    He is a great blocker.... except he will straight up do illegal blocking. And yes he gets fined for it.

    Also when he fumbled in the Cowboys game, fans went nuts due to he gave up on the play with slowing down and then a fumble was caused.

    I never said I knew much about him, I was just saying whether he is as big a give-upper or not. Penalties aren’t the correct metric.

    ‘if he is, then he’s also a loser like Pickens. If not, then he’s less of a loser.

    I’m not going to dissect all that because I think your definition of cancer is different than mine, like this for example:

    https://steelersdepot.com/2025/03/b...for-wr-dk-metcalf-due-to-emotional-outbursts/

    The video embedded in there shows what happened. Have no problem with that play. His ejection was an overreaction by the refs. When he slammed that guy he thought he still had the ball.

    What you see as a cancer I see as a competitor. No one was baby sitting Metcalf on the sidelines trying to stop him from fighting fans, he wasn’t skipping meetings, showing up late all the time, he’s well liked by coaches and teammates unlike Pickens. He also doesn’t quit on plays or fail to block for what would be a sure TD, fail to even attempt to run routes on plays he isn’t involved in.

    THEY ARE NOT THE SAME.

    News flash. Most WR’s are egomaniac head cases. And then there was Hines Ward!

    This.


    Larry Fitzgerald was also another. One of my all time favorite WRs. Marvin Harrison Jr. might have a shot but I will have to wait and see with him.

    Also this.


    Wide Receivers are head cases but how that raw emotion is being used is what I care about. Is it for the betterment of the team or for self gain?! That is the question that needs to be asked.

    Headcase don't bother me. The media makes stuff up even sometimes.

    I hope our fans don't lose it mid season due to the media going to lose it.

    No, he sabotaged his team differently on a regular basis when he was unhappy.
    I. E. Game ending penalties, elections. You know, mental midget type stuff.

    You're wrong. If you watch the full game DK Metcalf was in several alterations before the play occurred that DK slammed him. The ejection was a result of accumulated offenses by Metcalf throughout the game that the refs called him out on. Dk Metcalf has thrown a fit on the sidelines and in games many, many times and there have been several occasions coaching staff baby-sat him before, during and after games.

    Did Metcalf get fined six figures in one year by his team, or show up late to a game like Pickens did :facepalm:?

    Yeah, that's not even remotely what I said. People think he's somehow gonna tow the line here but that isn't who he is. He has always had a legit #2 on the other side and a QB throwing to him that is either A. future HoFer or B. top 10 statistically among QBs. He had 5 whole TDs last year, a 5 game stretch with zero and not even 1000 yards. He's an attitude problem guy , like Pickens, in a different way. I did not like the trade to get him but at least with Pickens and a decent QB option I think it would make sense. Steelers have none of that now and I suspect the Metcalf fans will not be so positive as the season unfolds if these issues go left unattended.

    The media makes stuff up almost all of the time but I can use my own eyes for judgement. Pickens is a basket case but full of talent……….when he wants to be.

    And Terry Bradshaw, Jack Lambert, Jack Ham, Mike Webster, coach Noll and every other player on or off the Steelers team who played the game the right way. Money ruined the sport from the way it used to be.

    I’ve already discussed it, read through this thread and in the Pickens traded thread smart guy.

    Think Im going to rehash it for you. You’re out of your mind trying to paint Metcalf as Pickens.

    I wish y'all would research before y'all posted.

    DK has been fined a total of $170,000
    Pickens total is $200,000

    Both have been fined 13 times each.

    What's bs for that guys post? I even showed you 10+ headcase problems. With 2024 being numerous issues.

    Are you just choosing to be blind? If so, stay far away from reading articles, because by mid season your going to lose it.

    For record......

    1. 2021 Met was EJECTED after grabbing the facemask of not one, but TWO defenders in the packers game.
    2. He even tried to re-enter the game after his ejecti9on
    3. 2024 Met had a physical altercation with Bears player where he literally headbutted him. which lead to not one but TWO penalties
    4. Met vs 49ers
    5. High penalty rate he draws 3 times as many penalties, including numerous 10 and 15 yard infractions.
    6. Fined by the shield for $11,255 for unnecessary roughness penalty on the giants in 2024.
    7. despite penalties, Met flat out told the media "I'm not going to change the way I play or who I am"
    8. Met learned sign language so he would not get penalties for taunting and talking trash.
    9. Pete Carrol even said the team tracks the penalties that Met causes and that Met was the leader in penalties.
    10. you think steeler fans were bad with complaining about pickens atitude? Ha, seahawk fans had articles written by non seahawks beatwriters for them.
