Everyone should go watch the video when Vontaze hit him. People thought he may be just dead after it it was so brutal and intentional. You can ask any Pit fan and there is a lot of people that knew him before that that said after that hit everything completely changed. Unfortunately, despite the pleas of users in this thread you can't really test for CTE right now unless someone is dead. It is kind of sad that immediately people go defend the billion dollar franchises before the gladiator on the field who obviously should have better care going his way or something. Even if Brown had some issues before the hit, the fact is it's been proven that other factors combined with CTE is a bad recipe. Guys like Aaron Hernandez and Chris Benoit. It's been obvious something isn't right for a while yet we're letting NFL franchises off the hook that keep signing someone that needs help. Do we really think these people that were with him daily and for hours training didn't know something was happening? He was producing on the field so that is all that mattered. There are more reports coming out that say he just didn't feel like he was healthy enough. Many athletes have said that and aren't forced to go into the game. However they probably felt he was desperate to reach the contract incentives and they could force him into the game.

Man he was fun to watch announce. Commentators now are just boring in comparison. Dude was up there just having the time of his life and made even the most boring games fun. The NFL was so different before Goodell.

We are going to see what kind of owner we have as well. I worry his ego is the most important thing and he won't be able to admit that Rhule is just not that guy and we'll suffer another season because he can't admit HE made the wrong choice. We are talking about someone that bought his old boss's home just to demolish it and build a new one where it was. The money? The money is literally peanuts to this guy if he fires Rhule. I believe he's the richest owner in the NFL. Millions is nothing for this guy. His family is set for generations so he's basically just playing around right now owning an NFL team. If he doesn't move on from Rhule it's because of ego factors in my opinion.

If Rhule is still here I think it may be the least excited for a new season than I have ever been. This season feels worse to me than the Clausen one for some reason.

Honestly the only way for excitement is trading for a QB like Wilson or who knows. Even though with this line it won't matter. Firing the coaching staff may bring some. Yeah that's about it.

Ofc Rhule keeps playing Sam. His job was always going to be dictated by it. That was the gamble they took. Didn't work.

Robbie celebrating catches in garbage time lol

Offensive line not even trying

Lol Brady scrambling 10 yards on you.

This team is so bad it'd hard to tell who is bad. Like collectively they kill each other so it'd hard to tell where it starts lol.

I'm losing my mind on Rhule saying they are complimenting well. This guy is terrible and delusional.

Special teams

May as well go for it honestly.

Yeah while I don't think the defense is bad it's definitely not the second best. Its good enough to win with a good offense. We get ran over by any decent sized offensive line. Those early games have skewed the stats.

Yeah I was there. One season we had. Zero back to back winning seasons. I didn't start watching in 2015 lol.

Do we have a running back that can stand on two feet ?

Highlights make me sad. Wonder what it'd like to have a real team.

Tepper you have to end this madness. Fire Rhule.

Lol this team

Two coaching staffs and still no one can manage the clock

Darnold probably coming in now

Great tackles there lol

Sigh

Timeout usage still elite levels

I get field goals kind of but a punter that can't even do kickoffs is weird. Was there never even practice or discussion? Chase Blackburn should have fired so long ago.
