Picken annoyance part 2

[ConceptCoop]

He’s a top 7 receiver.

I thought you were way off, then I started naming guys I’d take over him. I wouldn’t say to 7, but maybe top 10.

Jefferson, Chase, Lamb, Brown, St. Brown, Nabers, Smith-Njigba, Waddle, Thomas Jr.

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.

Wasn't Michael Irvin known for his exaggerated 1st down gesture?

No, you're thinking of someone else.

You never saw Irvin play, if you make that statement.

1st & 3rd for him minimum.

He’s a top 7 receiver.

Would

Yes, some cling to false narratives to make their case.

 

[WillieBeamen]

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 hear you man

 

[Cowboysheelsreds053]

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

This, he and the kicker and that is it.

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.

Which is why the Steelers bailed on him.

I agree…get this monster off of the team! Cut him immediately! Can you imagine what the children at home went through when they saw George hold a football in the general direction of a defender?? Just despicable behavior

It was a joke of a flag, the league is unbelievably soft.

The only annoyance is these post

Taunting happens on every play in the NFL...it stands out more for guys who are responsible for scoring points and have the cameras on them. I'd take this in a WR, and Lamb has done equally stupid things

And unlike Pickens, who cancelled on an off-season football camp in Pittsburgh after he was traded to Dallas, Michael never did anything off the field to take the focus off of football.

 

[DillusionalFans]

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.

Especially true of the Cowboy players who think it’s about them and not about the team, and guess where they learned that behavior? From Jerry.

 

[shabazz]

Ive said this here a dozen times....hes am immense talent but will break your heart when hes needed most.

Just as long as hes a #2 here, its fine.....but not as a #1

 

[jazzcat22]

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

Oh another player for you to hate on. How many is this now?

And once again you are so far off based. Hate away.

It's a pretty easy rule to play by however. The minute I saw him holding the ball toward the guy I knew it was coming. He did too because he quickly tried to do it to the ref. Dumb play. What's so hard with people admitting it was dumb?

With that said he has been a bright spot this year!

you need to watch some of those 90's games again, he celebrated himself all the time.
It wasnt as stupid or elaborate as the guys today but he did it and he admits it.

The problem is goodell and todays nfl like the celebrations, thats why they have cameras in the endzone, and no penaltys for it. They even have celebrations in the madden game dont they?

I get sick of it, but as long as the nfl likes and supports it , it aint going away.

If I was a player and I scored a touchdown or made a big play I would get so sick and tired of the ref staring me down. It's just creepy. And I don't know why they banned CD from doing the nose wipe gesture. What harm does that cause? I will never understand that.
