    Martavis Bryant fires back at Justin Hunter comparisons

    Martavis Bryant is waiting on reinstatement from the NF
    L, but he has taken notice of a recent free agent signing the Pittsburgh Steelers have made.The Steelers signed wide receiver Justin Hunter earlier this week, who is similar in physical measurables, but Bryant wants to make it known that he is the better player.

    at the same time he better be careful to not escalate this or anything else as the ice he is skating on is pretty thin

    There is plenty to motivate him. He's a husband, soon to be the father of three, witnessed how you can be rewarded for hard work (AB), and beat out Hunter at WR......hopefully the battle will be between Hunter & Coates. He needs to take the bull by the horns.

    I am in hopes its between Hunter and DHB .... DHB 10 games 6 catches 114 yards 30 years old , severe foot injury last year most likely making more $ than Hunters 1 year prove it deal .....

    Could be, DHB has been good on ST but his wick is getting short.

    Knee jerk reactions make me laugh. To believe that a 1 year signing at a thrift store price is insurance for a potential perennial pro bowler is delusional. Thats the kind of move only the patriots are able to consistently pull off.


    Reading on the bills forums, the consensus seems to be that Justin Hunter is one hell of a quitter. Good thing were not counting on him like some people assume

    Nobody contends Hunter is the equal of Bryant when Bryant can stay on the field. My knee jerk reaction is that he was signed in the event the Steelers lose Bryant to another failed drug test and Coates continues his downward slide. That is not counting on him to beat out Bryant in training camp, it is to address the not wildly unlikely possibility Bryant gets suspended again while Coates continues to channel the ghost of Limas Sweed.

    Since my previous post was regarded as both a knee jerk reaction and delusional, let me spell it out. Insurance is a form of risk management to hedge against a contingent loss. The insurance does not always make you whole for the entire loss, for reasons including a high deductible or a cap on coverage. For example, when you are a mid-30s young parent and buy a $500,000 term life insurance policy, that probably is not going to replace the present value of your entire future earnings that will be lost due to your early demise. But it provides some coverage at a cost you are willing to pay that will provide some cushion as an alternative to destitution for your survivors.

    Ed B. of the P-G said yesterday the Steelers are not counting on Bryant or Coates, which means they presumably are looking for a taller receiver to play opposite Brown and Rogers as a fallback to having no alternatives if both Bryant and Coates (for different reasons) flame out in 2017. My guess is they may engage in further risk management by drafting another receiver. In all likelihood, that will not result in as good a receiver at that position but will provide another option, which is preferable to no options.

    Why do you think they signed Hunter?

    Bryant's response is why I'm so optimist about him returning, and finally keeping his head straight. He seems ready to shut up the doubters.

    A motivated Bryant is scary.

    He's just another guy who has a shitload of God-given talent, who created all his own problems and put himself exactly where he is right now.

    Now that he is exactly where he is because of his own actions, he lashes out in anger at anyone that doubts him or doesn't trust him....including the people that he let down in the first place.

    Even though he knows he screwed up, everyone is just supposed to put their world and their lives on hold for his triumphant return because he's Martavis Bryant.

    Instead of showing everyone how important it is to him that he has beaten his problem and solved his issues and coming in with the attitude that he is sorry for letting the organization, his teammates, and his family down and quietly balling his ass off on the field.....he has elected to demonstrate that he hasn't matured much during his suspension.

    That's something that will make everyone doubt him even more.

    So let's review.

    He let his family down.
    He let himself down.
    He let the ownership and management down.
    He let his teammates down and he has alienated a new teammate by trashing Hunter when the only reason Hunter is there is because of his screw up.

    Did I miss anything?

    In a word "ownership"... or, lack thereof.

    PREDICTION:
    Bryant returns to form and has a monster season (18 TDs). Coates remembers how to catch. And, Hunter finally lives up to his unfulfilled potential. Add in the quintessential AB season (1400 yards)...

    ...and voila!!! Crash dies from ejacualting continuously for twenty weeks in a row.

    Martavis Bryant certainly has a lot of question marks coming into this season, even if there is a season, which will be up to the league. But one thing is for sure. Bryant is working harder to train this offseason than he ever has before.

    Re: Art Rooney II: Martavis Bryant has 'tremendous potential'

    As a Steelers fan, I have very high hopes Bryant gets it all together and puts together a HoF career here. AB is already on his way to achieving that. Hunter can come in and be redzone help, which was what we talked about with Marshall. Put that together with Bell, Williams, and Rogers, we should still move fairly freely between the 20s. Bryant becoming a beast is what puts us into the endzone more often.

    Re: Art Rooney II: Martavis Bryant has 'tremendous potential'

    NFL exec: Bryant returning would be '3-run HR' of the offseason

    Getting Martavis Bryant back would be the Steelers' biggest acquisition of the offseason, according to an NFL executive.

    Martavis Bryant certainly has the respect of outside executives on other NFL teams.
    According to ESPN, one NFL executive not associated with the Steelers said that Bryant being reinstated by Roger Goodell would be Pittsburgh's greatest acquisition entering the draft. Bryant is still waiting to hear if the league has accepted his reinstatement application after serving his year-long suspension that wiped out his 2016 season.
    "That is the three-run homer of the offseason if Bryant can get cleared and return to that offense," he said. "He is what that offense has been missing."
    http://pit.247sports.com/Bolt/NFL-ex...eason-51945771


    On a side note, Congrats to Bryant & his wife on the birth of their son yesterday.
