Brown calls Ryan Clark an Uncle Tom

How do you win anything when your defense is complete garbage. Its Tomlin's fault for not correcting the weak areas of the team like DB's, LB's, ST and so on. Even the coaches offensive and defensive. We didn't win anything because our Defense couldn't stop a beach ball, even on 3rd and 20. I don't know how many times i have witnessed this pulling my hair out.. What kind of **** was that in a must win game against the Bengals. It come down to a FG and a measly 16 points.

Now JuJu knows what its like to get double teamed with his 37 yard game. Brown has to play the decoy double team and still would get over a 100 yards. That said, I don't like the **** he's been pulling off, people make it sound like Brown isn't worth **** though. If the Steelers do get rid of Brown they better go get the next best thing because they won't be going anywhere with what they have now.

Again, we never game planned or schemed for not having AB against the Bungles.

Like last year when JuJu had 6 receptions for 75 yards and a touchdown against Houston or 9 receptions for 143 yards and a touchdown against Cleveland with Brown out of the lineup?
 
I don't know, Chuck Norris is 5-10 and 180 pounds, Bruce Lee was 5-7 and 160 pounds, warriors42 is 6 ft 225 pounds. Don't think I would want to **** with any of them. just sayin. lol.


Lee was 135 pounds.

Brown saying he was going to hit some reporter, just adds to the mess. I'm thinking the Steelers know a bit more than the media does on what Brown has said and done, and will listen to offers to Trade Brown.

I still like two first round picks from Raiders Or the 49ers, or Jets's pick in round one which we can trade down.

When Ben was out for games, Brown turns into just a good player. Brown works well with Ben because Ben buys him a second chance to get open and can throw it on the run or deep with accuracy. Good luck finding another QB that can do what Ben does.

I say ship him out.
 
This is seriously ****** up.


Why wasn’t the last page put into at least two seperate AB threads. I mean seriously.
 
Easy to say ship him out not so easy to replace him. Again if you are going to ship out your best weapon outside of Ben you damn sure better get appropriate value. We probably will go back n forth with this all off-season but no way I let him go for anything under two ones or a one a damn good player.

Not going anywhere with Tomlin no matter who is there next year!! Give any other coach, except a few, the talent we have had on this team sines Tomlin came in, and we sure as hell would have done better then First playoff game SMACK DOWNS!!! Middle of road must be good enough for Rooney’s now!!!

Because nobody realized how good of a receiver juju is. They took him for granted. No free passes now. I am happy to have JuJu, but he's not Brown. You need 2 really good WR's in today's game.
 
I still feel the best thing to do is keep AB and fire Tomlin and Butler.

We didn't blow games we should have won, tie the browns, or lose to the raiders because AB is a badass receiver. We did those things because Tomlin and Butler are **** coaches.

The media blew this up, and you all know it. AB showed up to play Sunday and Tomlin said no. The way I see it, AB did not quit on the team. Tomlin suddenly became a disciplinarian? Really?

If we dump AB and keep those two, well, I guess this is just a stupid ******* organization.

It was the last two weeks of the season, everyone knew what JuJu was all about.

Sorry that is one of the dumbest things ever written. Not showing for practice Thur, fri and sat while not responding to the coach, owner and players is quitting on your team. No matter how in love with him you are he quit on his team

He's skipped meetings and walk throughs earlier in the season too, mandatory. He lied about a knee injury and didn't skipped practice, then skipped his MRI because nothing was wrong with him.
Then he would respond to anyone within the organization Friday and Saturday, then had his agent call for him. Then he left the game at halftime and won't respond to anyone again.
But he can get on social media with his buddy James Harrison and mock Tomlin like a 14 year old girl.

I'm no fan of Tomlin either, but that doesn't give AB free reign to act like a immature ***, or to walk out on his team before the biggest game of the season.

So long douche

What great top rated WR does Philly, Rams, Dallas, Chargers, NE, Indy have?

The best wrs in the league are usually AB, Julio, Beckham.

In terms of catches Thomas from the Saints is still in the playoffs, the next WR in terms of catches is Keenan Allen, and he was ranked 12th in catches.

In terms of yards receiving, only Hill and Thomas are left in the playoffs and they ranked 4th and 6th in yards, the next highest ranked wr left is Hilton ranked 13th.

If you have a good QB, you don't have to have the best WR, especially one with a major attitude problem that has quit on his team.

Steelers have AB and Juju. And question marks at the position. Thomas and Allen are damn good. Kupp, Woods, and Cooks is a good trio. With Washington struggling it would be a huge risk to go just with JuJu. You better have two other options coming in to fill the void. Looking back at last year's plethora of ****** *** decisions you have a lot of faith that the Steelers wouldn't miss a beat do ya? Yeah deplete the most important position outside of QB in this passing league. We can lean on that suspect secondary that suspect special teams unit, and for dessert we can pray a injury prone RB won't get injured again. SB here we come!

I'd bring in a free agent WR. No I don't have a ton of faith we'd get it right, but I have alot more faith in that than I do of AB being a normal hard working team mate all season. We've done well drafting WRs.
Trade AB, it gives us more of a chance to get it right with another first round pick.

We've made one AFCCG with AB as a starter, weve done plenty of losing with him

Problem is the free agent market looks light at WR. I know why you desire it. From a talent standpoint it could cripple the team. I still want two ones if I am trading him. I just think otherwise they are cutting off their nose inspire of their face.

If AB would come back and apologize and act like a normal player, then ok.
I just don't see that happening, Ben has enough to worry about, without trying to keep him happy.
I mean he walked out on his team before the biggest game of the year.

How long before he competes with TO for letting down his teams, one after another? Very toxic. I think that Tomlins mismanagement could have perpetuated the breakdown though. What a **** show!

They do need to solve the problem. But there is a significant amount of problems that need solving. Some that might handcuff the team despite whatever happens to AB. This will be a interesting off-season for sure.

I still don't think any team gives up a 1 for Brown. A 2 might be a reach. Who gives up that much capital for his contract knowing he quit on his team? Knowing that it could just as easily happen to their team? That's right. No one. If you can get a 3, and a 6 and maybe get a team to swap 2nds with you, it's a win. If the Steelers want a 1, I think they are going to be disappointed.

I get it. A guy with his talent is worth a first. A guy with his issues is not.

Exactly just see bell, zero offers for him. Ab will get offers won’t be what people here expect.
 
When Sanstonio Holmes went to the Jets he not only became a locker room problem his antics eventually cost Rex Ryan his job.

Zero offers? Bell wasn’t available. Exclusive rights. He had no power to get any offers until FA 2019. Brown situation is different. He has a signed contract, thus eligible for movement. Rather doubtful, but nevertheless possible.

Not sure if this has been said or not but I have not read the book Uncle Tom’s Cabin but I found the following article from urban dictionary on the definition of Uncle Tom and its supposedly real meaning.

Uncle Tom is a Christian figure and hero portrayed in the book "Uncle Tom’s Cabin.” UncleTom is ultimately martyred; being beaten to death by a cruel master, simply because Tom has a sacrificial heart for others and refuses to betray the location of two black women who have escaped from slavery.

“Tom is ordered by Simon Legree, the immoral slave owner, to flog a female slave. Tom refuses. Legree strikes him repeatedly with a cowhide lash. Again, he tells Tom to beat the woman. Tom, with a soft voice, says,

The poor crittur's sick and feeble; 'twould be downright cruel, and it's what I never would do, nor begin to. Mas'r, if you mean to kill me, kill me; but, as to my raising my hand agin anyone here, I never shall, -- I'll die first’" (Page 439, from "Uncle Tom’s Cabin," by Harriet Beecher Stowe).

I would assume, the majority of people representing the black race, who call members of their same race “Uncle Toms,” have never read the book nor have they acted heroically to save other lives from harm. They would learn fine quality traits from his humble man of God represented in fictional character form, who is willing to sacrifice his own life to protect others.

It is incredibly strange liberal blacks call people names using a fictitious character who assisted in freeing the black race. The book is considered the main weapon implemented in erasing slavery, and Uncle Tom is the hero.
