Did Pickens develop? He was a a circus catch/bad attitude guy at UGA, never got better in the NFL.

Once again somebody confusing attitude for skillset....id like to know where you didn't see any development in his playing skills to make that assessment?? You seem to be implying you watched everyone of his games from UGA through the pros?? He was definitely more than just a circus catch guy whether college or pros. I dont think i watched a single game of his in college, but I've watched my fair amount of highlights and I dont recall seeing him make catches where he waits until the last second to get his hands up so as to not make the db aware that he was tracking the ball until it was too late. As much as he did it last season I should have seen it at least once or twice in highlights I've viewed if he came into the league with it. I've yet to see it.

Lazy blocker, lazy route-runner, got poor separation. He’s Brandon Lloyd with an attitude problem.

1:35 mark to see a catch like you described above.

If anyone has been attending training camp or watched Howard in any other forum (Buckeye Fans) please set me straight. What I can’t get out of my mind was watching him at the combine, I’m not sure I ever saw anyone throw a ten yard out/sideline pass as poorly as he did. He was awful, soft and inaccurate. Everyone has bad days, maybe something was bothering him physically, he didn’t warm up properly, the wide receivers were slower than he was used to, I may be exaggerating the poor performance as time has passed but it wasn’t pretty.

I’m hoping it was a fluke, just one of those days, I’m sure he’s thrown plenty of beauties but that day I was thinking, don’t draft this kid.

Except you rarely see anybody give Tomlin credit for anything on here or anywhere else. His success is always attributed to someone else.

That’s all NATIONAL news media talks about is how great a coach the Tomlin is……….. Player’s coach, gets more out of nothing than anybody else, has them in the playoffs every year and many many other things as well.

Here you have real football fans and see the truth of what is really happening with this team.

We are not sheeple and can think with our own minds……. Not media convinced or driven by the talking heads.

Step back, relax and take a breath of fresh air.

NOTE: Many here do give the Tomlin credit when credit is due.



Salute the nation

DK Sports had a “Daily Shot” yesterday on Will Howard, well worth the watch……….







Makes a lot of sense in current time frame statis.

Not sure iof it explains your scenario, but worth the time to watch.

just admit you're another sour grapes commenter bro. That's the last video you should have posted to prove your point and then you had the audacity to compare him to Brandon Lloyd. Two totally different receivers if i ever saw any. If the Steelers said they we're bringing GP back minus the attitude you'd be one of the stupidest people on earth not to welcome him back with open arms. Im fine with him being gone, BUT only because of his attitude. That doesn't mean im going to pretend like I didn't see what I saw out of him (just because he's not wearing a Steelers uniform) in the two years he was here despite playing with mid level to below average QBs the entire time.

He was everything he was advertised to be and far from a bust as the original commenter who mentioned him implied. Who can take anyone seriously who says that? I just dont get giving people credit where credit is due? It doesn't stop their shine from taking place. It only casts a shadow above your own head as to what would be your motive for doing it. Its ok to say he was a 1st rd talent but 6th rd headcase and be dead on with that analysis.
