Picken annoyance part 2

[SoupcanSam]

I made a past post about Pickens and his tomfoolery during games were dallas is getting stomped and fellow fans jumped down my back about it.

I am continuing to stand on it. The guy yet again found a way to taunt during another uneven game that didn't include the cowboys on the high end, only this time it drew a flag.

I dont care how good he is, make your play and get back to the huddle for the next.

Imagine dallas actually being in a game and stupidity like that actually cause them the game (example, a flag actually knocking them out of winning FG range or some other crazy situation that can effect game outcome.

He wants to do things like this on a your where the league is super strict on taunting. If this was two years ago then ok, but not in 2025.

The guy is an idiot with talent....in a nutshell.

Understand your opinion. He's been productive. CD has given us his moments before too. Let's not do that. We have far more issues than Pickens and his taunting penalty or anything you want to castigate him for. He was wrong. No need to vilify him when so much gets overlooked, dismissed, or disregarded that spells undisciplined play on this team and has enabled opponents' drive to continue or our drives to stifle.

No amount of great play can turn your head about a guy that's a nut case waiting to happen! If we sign him we will see more I'm sure!! We love him as a player, but the mental mistakes he actually fits in, see Sam Williams

 

[SoupcanSam]

SW is the guy that may scream on another player in a bullying way, if that player made a mistake

Pickens is not the problem. Try agaia. So many other great options to choose from.

Haha yeah Pickens is one of the few bright spots and I mean fewwwwwww.

This fanbase is not factoring that hes putting on an act (good behavior, saying the right things) because hes looking for a contract. Once that paper is signed, he will begin acting a fool once again.

Mike Tomlin of all people, wanted nothing to do with him. Let that sink in


But lets trade CD tho

I agree Soupcan, these players today seem to want to celebrate every successful play. Forget about the other 10 players that had a part in it, look at me. I swear I see players exhibit more energy getting up from a tackle, than trying to avoid being tackled. Every successful play is not worth a flex, scream, or running 20 yards down the field. Old school fan over and out

 

[SwagSurfer]

I agree. This team cannot afford any penalties, at all. We need a perfect game every week from the offense just to stand a chance. When you di bonehead stuff like that I question your intentions. Are you truly a team player or is it all about you?

 

[Denim Chicken]

I don't think he's doing anything super crazy. I think we can all agree the taunting rule is really bad and subjective.

That said, we need to trade him today if we can get a good pick.

unfortunately we live in the era of "look at me". Most of these football players are overpaid toddlers that think everything has to be a production.

1st & 3rd for him minimum.

He’s a top 7 receiver.

That's exactly what he's doing because you can tell he's got several screws loose. We're going to see a nightmare from him once he gets the contract he's wanting. Well, you all will. I'm on my way out. I can't keep doing this crap every year.

I tend to agree with you—why do we care that a 20-something athlete is flashy?—but it does say something that Pittsburg essentially gave up on him.

You are correct. Pickens needs to be traded away. But we need to get fair compensation for him.

It’s not just his mental lapses it’s what his cap hit will be. It’s also the opportunity cost for using the draft capital in a cheaper player with a longer shelf life.

I’m hoping we get a first round pick out of him either now or with a tag and trade.

That's why I liked Irvin because he never drew attention to himself. It was just score the touchdown and give the ball to the ref. Just picked up a first down on 3rd and long? Good, get back to the Huddle and get ready for the next play.

Now you have guys like Pickens and it's just not right. It's not sportsmanlike.

Now you've done it

 

[TheMarathonContinues]

Pickens and Lamb are the least of my concerns….

 

[Creeper]

I believe Pickens has a fuse that is always lit. At some point he could go off.

But I don't think what he did last night was that egregious. These guys on the field are trying to win, but they are also fighting personal battles on every play. Was it dumb? Yes. Every player should know that's a penalty. The rule isn't new. But tell me those dumb celebrations after a TD, or a turnover where the entire team runs into the end zone is not taunting in some fashion.

Trust me, I hate when teams down by a lot celebrate a play but it is what it is in the NFL now.
