I'm not going to pretend for two seconds that all the sudden Rapethsburger is some kinda model citizen that AB had the audacity to disrespect. That whole franchise is going to hell in a handbasket right before our very eyes, Big Ben retiring will be the final death blow. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Anselmheifer Posted March 10, 2019 Share Posted March 10, 2019 1 hour ago, BRAVEONAWARPATH said: So you prefer the owners to have the power??? Yes. Absolutely. The NBA is the worst league in pro-sports for people that aren't willing to bandwagon. Is it really fun that the every good NBA player wants to play in a lifestyle city AND on a team with 4 other all stars? GSW, LAL, NYK, Boston, Miami, maybe a few other other teams have a chance to build a perennial contender. It's terrible for fans. What the NFL does right is competitive balance. Every city can win a championship with the right management, and every good player doesn't try to leave Cleveland and Pittsburgh for the West Coast or NY or Boston. edit: I'm also not pro-owner. I don't think tax payers should be subsidizing those billionaires by building their stadiums for them, and I do think players should have lifetime health benefits. I wouldn't mind guaranteed contracts if they figured out how to make it work for the cap. Right now, the cap system is not just owner friendly, it's fan friendly. Fans don't have to be stuck with their favorite franchise tied with multiple anchors around the neck for 5 years. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Skin'emAlive Posted March 10, 2019 Share Posted March 10, 2019 The Steelers made a huge mistake in franchising Bell twice. If they weren’t going to keep him around long term, they should have trade him. Dude was a workhorse looking at another 2 billion touches, and no long term contract. As a running back, that’s dangerous. Brown took notice. They will find another receiver as long as Big Ben is still slinging. But they really hurt their chances by losing Bell and Brown and getting only a 3rd and 5th out of it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TradeTheBeal! Posted March 10, 2019 Share Posted March 10, 2019 The notion that the Steelers are in free-fall because they let a WR walk is astounding. Roethlisbergers entire tenure there has been marked by letting high-priced WRs walk and replacing them easily and quickly via the draft. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Skin'emAlive Posted March 10, 2019 Share Posted March 10, 2019 Ben will be around for as long as Brady stays. Same with Brees and Rivers. But they could have just let bell hit free agency last year, and gotten a 3rd round conditional pick and forgo the headaches and drama. Brown might even still be around. They wanted it all and got burned for it. They are still a good team for as long as Ben and Tomlin are there. I see them drafting Bush to fill the Shazier void, ORUWARIYE, and a receiver that ends up falling. They will be fine. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CjSuAvE22 Posted March 10, 2019 Share Posted March 10, 2019 Lol comparing this franchise to the steelers is laughable the only thing in free fall are my season ticket values for this team...., Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rufus T Firefly Posted March 10, 2019 Share Posted March 10, 2019 So, he gets a 4 year/$68 mil contract, and then after a year ignores the 31 mil or so he'd already received, and pointed to the salaries remaining and said "look how underpaid I am" and so he gets a new contract. Is there any reason he won't pull this again in a year? Especially because he "earned" the new deal by quiting on his team during the playoff run. Awesome precedent that was set here.

Skins199021 Posted March 10, 2019 Share Posted March 10, 2019 It is almost unfathomable to me that people wanted to trade for a 31 year old AB. Its like people just ignore all the moves from the past 20+ years in combination with the severe lack of success for the team. Keep drafting and signing guys in FA that are 27 and younger, that is the way to go, and not have Bruce Allen making those decisions. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TheGreatBuzz Posted March 10, 2019 Share Posted March 10, 2019 I am ecstatic AB isn't coming here. The rumors we were in the hunt made me nervous. One, he isn't the type of player I want here. Two, we aren't one player away. We don't need to be giving draft picks away. We need to be collecting them (so Bruce can waste them). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MEANDWARF Posted March 10, 2019 Share Posted March 10, 2019 Let's get over it. We could not afford AB. He demanded 18-20 mil a year. That's why Pittsburgh got a 3rd and a 5th. Let's be thankful he's not playing for Philadelphia. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
