Lamb or Pickens?

[Scottishcowboy]

A lot of traffic right now about Pickens and I get it too so let's see how the forum sees it if a decision has to be made? No "fence sitting" please, no sign both, if YOU ABSOLUTELY had to decide....which?

Me? I'm going Lamb. His ceiling is superb, top 5 WR in my view, definitely top 10. Pickens THIS YEAR top 3 but......show me more please.

Higher upside is Pickens........by a little bit but lower downside Pickens by a mile.

Let's not pretend the Steelers are dumb, they could see "something". I am willing to allow Pickens the benefit of the doubt but if you made me bet my life savings.........Lamb is the choice.

Anyone else?

Lamb. Pickens compliments him well though. It doesn't matter to me if he stays or goes though. This defense needs to be fixed.And if Jerry wants him then he better sign him sooner rather than later.

100% Lamb. I'll happily take both, but Lamb is the better player with a better overall resume.

Pickens.

Lamb is the way more rounded WR. But Pickens has that Moss factor in him. Just a threat that is always able to beat you. That is rare. Lamb lacks that.

Id go Pickens and find me a so-so #2 wr to complement him. If id stay with Lamb it would be much harder to find a good WR to complement him and have the same threat of that WR duo.

Really good debate.......Pickens could be our Moss but could "flame out". Lamb is no scrub, he's top 5 so is it a choice of "maybe best WR v top 5 WR or "nightmare" v top 5 WR.

My view? We dont appreciate Lamb enough, almost any other team would kill their 1st born to have him.

Yes thats also something i am afraid of. Pickens may flame out.

My decission to go with him was based purely on what he showed during his season hear. Ignoring that he may decline of whatever reason (character etc...).



Lamb to me has something about a workhorse character. And that may be the reason some may not value him the right way. But i do think highly of him. He is a real #1. But he lacks some essential traits to be a real game changer. Pickens on the other hand is not a well rounded WR but that guy just has it.

I'm not doing this with you!!!!!!!! lol

Lamb is more consistent. Pickens has a slightly higher ceiling but is not dependable

Conway Twitty would be pissed at you...."You want a man with a slow hand..
You want somebody who will spend some time,
Not come and go in a heated rush"

Without reading other comments....BOTH. there is zero reason why it can't be...period.

Lamb. Pickens has shown his propensity to go off the rails and the last thing we need is another high-paid, no-filter, pouty-face in the locker room.

The only decision is you keep both.

Pickens is more talented but Lamb is more reliable on and off the field.

Pickens has been a bad influence on Lamb actually.
