I personally don't think he is worth being paid the highest of all WRs. He is about to hit 30. His post-season outings aren't very good.

4 games of more than 100 yards in 5 playoffs games since 2014 is not very good?

Its standards are ridiculously high.

Exactly.

The only other player later to have 5 catches & 100 yards receiving in four consecutive playoff games was Larry Fitzgerald. So, yeah, AB kind of sucks. :jerkit:

Hopefully this will put the kibosh on all the nonsensical media driven speculation of whether or not AB would be traded

Weird. Steel dude is complaining about a contract. Shocking. I don't think there has been a single contract in the last 5 years he has liked. Maybe Harrison.

Don't really know if this stuff is accurate, but looks like you nailed it!

Except for setting up the game winning TD against the Rats with a 58 yard catch on 3rd and 19, pretty much single-handedly building a 14-0 lead with 2 long TD catch and runs against the Dolphins, and catching the game clinching 1st down catches in the Steelers last AFC Championship win and last AFC Divisional win, and of course there's 5 catches for over 100 yards in 4 straight playoff games

Looks okay to me. A little TD light, but whose fault is that?

Please elaborate. AB has been money in the playoffs minus the NE game.

Even in that Taperiots game, when he was doubled on every single play, he still managed 7 for 77 yards. The bracketing didn't allow him to get any yac (after he caught those passes, he was tackled immediately/he couldn't break any long ones), but 77 yards isn't bad in anyone's mind.

Well... in one person's mind.

I've uncovered that Steeldude is Ron Cook!

And only Julio Jones is worth big WR dollars!

Ron Cook has gone too far when he considered the steelers to trade Brown.

I can't believe Cook still has a job.

Everytime some idiot in the media brings up the topic of trading AB, 3 angels lose their wings. Is Ron Cook that desperate to talk about trading AB that he wants to talk about how AB should be traded when it became undeniably clear that he wouldn't be traded?

The problem with the media is that now everyone is obsessed with being first, not being right/accurate with their stories. In our time (social media era) news gets broken faster than ever.

These writers are looking to get ahead of the curve and break a big story so they take a wild leap and hope it sticks.

Its sad really and very irresponsible

100% correct


The best example was from a few years ago... I don't remember the specifics, but after tweeting a horribly erroneous rumor, a few hours later, one of the "millennial" reporters (Schefter, Rappaport, et al) apologized with two simple, but telling, words: "My bad."


No repercussions.
No taking ownership.
But, hey... he was the first to tweet the rumor. :willy:

There's never been a post with more truth. Just look at Chris Mortensen and ESPN...
