The only weird thing to me is how everyone was saying how good of a teammate he was when it seemed the writing was on the wall due to his increasing negativity. 

They are all in the same boat though. Probably some commiseration going on.

Thielen was vocal and demonstrative too, just didn't get busted quitting on Andy.

Sucks we didnt have a team ready to compete because of Bust Young.....

I liked the couple of games where he was engaged with Dalton after that he was ready to gtfoh and who can really blame him

can't blame him for sure, but it also makes me appreciate guys like Chuba who still puts in 110% every game and snap.

Well, yeah, it is a no win. When they gave him WRs, after hearing all the complaining about them for a year, he wasn't ready to use them. 

It was what I used to think when people said we didn't have any fast WRs that could get open deep. I was like, so?

maybe he is generally a good teammate and liked.....maybe Canales couldn't handle him.  That IMO seems like a reasonable assumption.  Think Sheena or someone basically hinted at that too.  His issues in Pitt seemed to of also been more Tomlin related than pure teammate related. 

and on top of that, rookie HCs sometimes are weird as they try to learn and build there own. I'm 100000% convinced that is why Cam Newton had to go when Rhule came here.  Rhule was such a buffoon and ignorant....he didn't want to deal w/ a loud vocal vet who knew stuff. 

Dionate came from one of the best orgs in all of football.  Maybe Canales didn't like his straight talk about there being some issues that he couldn't fix.  He can only play WR.  Maybe Canales only wants bologna sunshine guys.

Dennis and Chris had a point on 99.9 The Fan. 

The trade is a reflection of what the NFL thinks his value is worth. Morgan can't control what other teams are offering. 

I mean the option is to keep him for him to walk anyways and then we MAYBE get a comp pick for 2026. All you do until then is take reps from Coker and Legette.

Maybe

But you have to think the Steelers were willing to part with him for an injury prone Jackson. (This is before Jackson was doing as well as he is this season). They were willing to part with him for that. 

Wasn't there a bunch of Pittsburgh fans pissed off because he refused to jump on fumbles and stuff? or some other similar issue.

Tomlin don't like the bologna.  And I think it's clear, Johnson was doing things that wouldn't please his coaches in Pitt.  Effort and complaints.   But his teammates could of still liked him.

      Can we get to 9-8?

      By Mike2.0 · Posted

      A winning record would be nice, but I still have us winning around the 6 to 8 game mark. Realistically we should beat the Jets and Saints, that gets us to 5 wins. After that, we have to face a lot of potential play off teams and our divisional opponents. I think we’ll win 1 or 2 of those games to take us to 6 or 7 wins, perhaps 8 wins if we can spring a further surprise.  Is that enough progress for head coach and QB? I’m not sure, it will depend on performances and output. That said, it’s nice to be back in a position where we are thinking about the play offs.

      Eight of Bryce Young's nine wins have come off game-winning drives

      By Mike2.0 · Posted

      I would tend to agree about not falling into the trap and paying a below average QB, but sometimes situations can “force” a team to pay that QB. For example, if we play ourselves into a 9-8 like record, then what options will we have in the draft? Or do we avoid the draft and trade for or sign someone in free agency?  I’m not convinced by the 2026 QB draft class. There’s some intriguing prospects but no one that really screams “draft me”. I’m not sure we’ve got anyone really that stands out as a trade candidate or free agent signing. So although we might not want to commit a big money contract to Young, him playing well and showing progress might force the team’s hand.

      Trade Chuba?

      By Mike2.0 · Posted

      Realistically we would be looking at no more than a mid round pick for Dowdle or Chuba. Are we really that desperate for a mid round pick? Not really. I would much prefer us utilise the two RBs in a 1-2 punch similar to how we used D-Will and Stewart. After all, Bryce is not Drew Brees. He won’t throw for 300+ yards and carry the team consistently as a passer. So having a strong running game with a 1-2 punch will be beneficial to him, and it will also be beneficial to the RBs because we can spell them and not overwork them.
