I don’t understand what Pittsburgh is doing this offseason at all.

Pickens is talented but they're just tired of putting up with his bullshit. Nothing like having your WR engaging in an MMA fight with a DB on the football field as the ball falls to the turf no one involved having noticed it had been thrown. LOL

Tomlins track record with wide receivers is bar none.  If he is done with you that is a sign. 

yeah...if the steelers don't want him, you don't want him. they might be talented, but they are a headcase and will be more trouble than their worth. 

what's more impressive is the cowboys track record with receivers in trades. it's crazy just how consistent they are with the WRs they trade for.

Is it if tomlin is done with you you're done or is it tomlin has a track record of letting talented wr's get out of control to the point of no return. I don't know if it's a positive about him with ALL these guys having issues and getting what he can while he can or if it's an indictment on him that he allows them to get so bad that they aren't salvageable by the time Pittsburgh discards them.

Pickens is a head case. If Tomlin has a hard time keeping you from looking like an idiot, odds are nobody can.

Steelers are all in for QB next year - this gives them more draft picks to trade up to #1 for

Steelers know they can't win a super bowl. They are reloading. Very smart, goal oriented franchise. 2nd isn't good enough in title town. 

That hasn't been the Steelers way. They just keep being above .500 while not being able to draft a QB and they won't do a mega deal it takes to get in position to draft a QB either. They have tried the duds that fall to them and are available to them in free agency but that's it. They don't reload either, just stay above .500 while not being close to contenders. It's crazy they can't lure a half decent QB in free agency because they are set up to win but nothing. This year they even took a swing at a toxic and washed Rogers. They just don't reload because it goes agaisnt what keeps them above .500 for so many years now. If they did then they would have to get rid of a lot more than an idiot WR to get into a position for a top QB next year. Wilson stank last year and they still won 10 games lol.

      Myles Garrett Traded to Rams

      By electro's horse · Posted

      I feel like this trade just lives rent free in people's heads and keeps morphing into different things. First thing is that the rumored trade was for future firsts. They wouldn't have any extra picks in 2023; the firsts would have been for 2024 and 2025. With very few exceptions, NFL GMs don't value picks that far away. You have to have a lot of job security to pull that off. Like Chiefs, Eagles, Rams kinda stability. That's obviously not the case with David Tepper, especially since he'd just fired his head coach. No GM except for like Howie Roseman is going to trade an asset you have now for a future asset you probably get to use.  Second, at the time you'd have to assume these are first rounders late in the first round. Obviously currency is currency and the panthers need young players, but these weren't slam dunk top ten picks. At the end of the day there's one pick that separates a first and second round pick.  Lastly, the only place that ever reported this trade was the Rams. All the reporters just repeated what McVay said and it became gospel. We have no idea how serious the negotiations were, if they ever really happened, if the offer was real, etc. And I personally believe McVay and Sneed are the kind of guys who would make up rumors like that to fug up other teams, mostly because I assume if I've thought of it someone smarter than me has.  I don't know how you'd call it the greatest draft haul of all time. Firsts quickly lose their value the farther out they are and Burns had 16.5 sacks last season. And anyway those picks would probably just been tossed into the burning inferno of the Bryce trade up so it's a moot point anyway.
