More Details on Why Pickens Wore Out His Welcome with Steelers?

[baltcowboy]

Wasn't AJ Brown just a contract dispute with Tennessee. I don't recall him having a ton of issue on the field as well as off the field stuff like being late for practices and games like Pickens, but maybe my memory is fuzzy.

I don’t know the whole story but AJ had some questions. They have similar stats and where around the same age but the Eagles gave up a first for him.

Of course it will be different here.

Everybody knows they have to toe the line in Dallas.

I was more so thinking if he wants to get paid…..

Yes. It’s Tomlin. Not Pickens. Now I feel sorry for Pickens. He’s a victim.

What a dumb comment. I never even insinuated that but you obviously have trouble with comprehension and are just looking for someone to argue with…do better.

He’s not innocent. He’s made a fool of himself. It’s not the team he plays for, it’s not the head coach, it’s him. He’s the problem.

Dang dude…I never suggested he was innocent or hasn’t made a fool of himself. If you just read my comments instead of looking for something to be offended about, you would see I have consistently said that Pickens has maturity and self control problems.

And I have never suggested Pickens problems were due to Tomlin or the team. Pickens only has himself to blame.

But Tomlin does seem to have a history of issues with diva, selfish receivers. All I was suggesting was maybe Tomlin’s fixer personality plays a role in why he seems to continue to attract these player types. He did just sign DK Metcalf who also has maturity and self control issues.

This is not an original thought. It has been discussed numerous times by talking heads, both inside and outside Steelers circles.
