Why are you confirming it with a player who doesn't have a no trade clause? Ab has no actual say on whether it's a done deal or what happens to him, other than saying he will sit out/not play, which is what he did. He has no actual say in who the Steelers trade him to, just a roundabout way in the sense that no team will pony up for him if he's not going to report to them on game day. There's no reason for a reporter to contact a player to ask him to confirm it. Sh*t look at cliff Lee a couple years ago in MLB. He was driving on the PCH in the off-season and heard on ESPN radio that he was traded. He was very unhappy the team didn't tell him or his agent before public releasing the story, but guess what?? He still showed up and played at his new team. I had ABs back for the most part in the drama until recently. If he wanted out of Pitt so badly then he should play wherever he's sent, not throw a tantrum and refuse to play at the place he's traded. Everything from here on out is on him and I have no sympathy. I hope they indefinitely suspend him for "Conduct detrimental to the team" and let him rot the next 3 years not playing. See if he gets a contract at age 33+ having not played in 3 seasons. Screw him.

Love them. The Jumpman one is copyright infringement though unfortunately.

Allen should feel like he's back at Wyoming again

Is Percy harvin available? ??

So he should be training 24/7? He isn't allowed to "play football" in regards to the NFL. He cannot have contact with teams other than Steelers front office. He can't be practicing with players. He probably can't even go solicit and play arena or something. He's a contractual employee of the NFL, specifically the Steelers, and is currently on strike from his employer, for lack of better words. I guarantee there is verbage dictating what he can and cannot do while holding out. So he went and had a vacation, guess what!? That's not drama. Everything else is drama, but it's not so caused by him. Agreed with everything you said.

I'm not interested in offering him anything but a ticket out of town. Dude looks apathetic and blames everybody else. He's in a contract year, this was the "prove it year" and he looks completely checked out. If he cares this little on a contract year then I'm not sure what can motivate him.

I never understood these all time stats that go back decades. Who cares that we beat them back in 1991, or 1974? We are 1-1 against Rodgers in his career. This season he is throwing 285 ypg, 6 TD 0 int. He is 60-15-1 all time in Green Bay with a 109 QB rating, 173 TD 32 int. He's hurt right now though. So I'm not sure what we are going to get. If he isn't really hobbled, it's going to be a tough time stopping them. If he's really hampered it's going to be a hell of a game, as long as we play at intense at last week.

Exactly. This dude is putting up numbers as good or better than the greatest RBs in league history have put up, and people are like "oh connor can replace him, no bigs" please. dude is a legit star.

Tracking/catching are the most important. You can be a great WR and not be insanely fast. You can also be insanely fast, but not a great WR. You CANNOT be a great WR if you cannot track/catch the ball. The greatest WRs in NFL history range from 4.3-4.7 (which is a pretty big difference actually in regards to what the NFL considers speed) Guess what they ALL have in common? THEY CAN CATCH THE FLIPPING FOOTBALL. They didn't have to be "coached" in terms of "learning to catch".

"Pittsburgh Steelers running back Le’Veon Bell played in his 55th game on Sunday. He also reached 7000 total yards from scrimmage in the game. The only other person to have ever reached the mark as fast was the great, Hall of Fame running back Eric Dickerson." "Just so we are clear on this, 7000 yards is a lot. And 55 games is not a lot to get that many. In order to total 7000 yards from scrimmage in 55 games, one has to average over 127 yards from scrimmage per game, which is an exceptional pace to maintain over what is the equivalent of nearly three and a half full seasons" https://steelersdepot.com/2017/11/leveon-bell-ties-eric-dickerson-fastest-player-7000-scrimmage-yards/ bell averaged 130 yards from scrimmage last year. Connor is averaging 113 through 3 games. I'll bet Connor doesn't hold that pace. Bell is really good.

I'm not complaining. Do people read the quoted text in posts before replying?? I quoted @ThunderGun making a joke about it being a "conditional 7th in 2025" saying he wasn't that far off...

Close, I think ESPN said a "conditional late 2021" pick ??

Logic hittin'em with the logic. Boom. Headshot.

Tracking and catching are more important. Separation is based on the QB and wr. Megatron, Dez, Fitzgerald are not big separation guys, and instead are jump ball types. I would say that separation is very nice, but not as necessary as tracking and catching.

He's far more talented than Fitz or Edwards. He looks much more natural and comfortable at QB than EJ ever did. He looked decisive. I'm not saying he's the goat, but what he has shown the last 6 quarters makes me think he's going to be a stud.

Yeah, I loved it. It was legit encouraging to see.

Thanks dude I just saw it, was at work, didn't really have time to search, but thought it was pretty cool

Sorry if this was already posted. If it was, delete/merge me in. Thought it was a cool article that explains not only the post-wheel concept play, but why it works, and how Allen botched it against the chargers, not looks like he corrected his mistakes. https://www.buffalorumblings.com/2018/9/24/17895882/buffalo-bills-film-room-josh-allen-post-wheel-concept-jason-croom-brian-daboll-analysis-touchdown

Manning was also dealing with a massive neck injury that killed his arm strength. Again, Brady will die off eventually. This might be the year. We believe it when I see it though. I'm more concerned with us getting good first. Brady isn't why we've been bad for so long, and we need to be more concerned with our players that him. If he sucks though I wouldn't complain ?

That would require him being able to track a ball though Blasphemy They only need to get open. Catching the ball? Nobody got time for that. That's because the other team doesn't bother covering somebody who can't catch.

Right. Since he's still building up the strength I'm sure they decided to not have him go full on "heave ho" with a 100% bomb. Figured it's better to not risk him overthrowing his limitations until it's fully back.

That would require him being able to track a football... Which he can't do. Can't catch. Can't track the football. Those are the two most important skills for a wr.

Saw this last week after his second big game. It's so true. His playoffs are the yearly QB competition he's in.

Hyde - 27 Poyer - 27 Star - 28 That's old? Maybe you should check your "actual facts" He forgot to take his ensure

Fitzpatrick curse.
