George Pickens!!!!

[86WARD]

It was never "dump Johnson because we found another receiver," it was "trade Johnson for a good offer, use that to draft someone else good, and use whatever money you would have paid him to sign one or two OTHER badass players." Basically get two good players for several years, at the expense of slightly less talent at WR for a year, or maybe not even. But you go ahead and keep changing it to whatever you think makes it look like you were right all along.

says the guy who never had an original thought in his life.

I’ve had one or two original thoughts. Not many but a couple. Someone here may be able to vouch for me.

Yeah. Those were the two. I guess I should've said "character concerns".

Point still holds. I'm not sure many observers wouod have him as the 10th WR off the board and we've not even played a real gsme.

For people whose primary job is to figure this stuff out, they're just not good at it.

It was likely the combo of character questions AND injury concerns. Worked out great for us!!

Me too. I have one. Hopefully they’re not the same one.

I will vouch that there's been at least one. More than I've had for sure.

Nah. You’ve had at least one and maybe a half.

Desert Steel may have had 2.

Teegre is the one with all the original thoughts.

As quotable as Tomlinisms are, Teegre-isms take the scenic route in convos just as often

[Rotorhead]

Huh, that's weird, I don't remember anyone saying that two weeks ago. It was all "We have nobody. NOBODY!"

And then I was like, "Well we just drafted a guy, I'm not too worried," and was met by a chorus of "That's crazy, you don't even know if he'll be any good!!! What are you, some kind of crazy cowboy risk-taker?!?" I don't remember anything about multiple receivers, it was Johnson or Nothing.

So yeah, I guess I'll rub your noses in it for a little bit.

Only you would start an argument after a great outing from one of our rookie WR’s.

People on here have been touting him as the steal of the draft from day one. But if you need to praise yourself that badly go ahead.

I suspect Teegre smokes ayahuasca with Aaron Rodgers.

I don’t think there’s any “suspect” about it…OR…maybe Teegre IS Aaron Rodgers…

Pffft… I never been associated with the Packers.

Pay no attention to the man behind the curtain…



Brian Baldinger was breaking down some tape of George Pickens. A couple of things he pointed out:

-the catches are obvious
-the big blocks are obvious

What Baldy focused on was what Pickens did AWAY from the ball, two things that set Pickens apart from most receivers:

-there were times when the play was 30 yards away, but Pickens was blocking like he was a lead blocker

-even when Pickens was not the first or second option on a play, Picken ran his routes like he was indeed the primary target; ergo, the defenders HAD to defend him as such on EVERY play… and more importantly, if/when the QB got to his third option, Pickens was where he was supposed to be on the play (not lollygagging / merely going through the motions).

SUMMATION:
Pickens is a steal.

Yeah but I think he stole that from another board.

Blahablahbhalh ... he's a head case, CUT him! We can still go 19-1 without him!

[86WARD]

So in 6-7 seasons, will there be a

“George Pickens: the thread that never ends” ?

Should we just start it now??

There is only one Antonio Brown in this league so no!

[polamalubeast]

[EzraTank]

Doesn't matter, cut him now.

[DuckHodges]

I love watching Pickens block, that guy is notorious for pancaking DBs. Not only will be be a prime receiving threat, but also improve the run game by a lot. I wouldn't be surprised if the kid makes the pro bowl in his first year

[polamalubeast]

First rookie of the year for the steelers since 2004?

[DesertSteel]

It's all gonna hinge on the QB play. He could have a Jamar Chase kind of season if he had a Joe Burrow like QB throwing him the ball.

I put 10$ on Pickens. Big $$$.

On fanduel Pickett was actually the favorite.

I think I know a guy.

[Born2Steel]

George Pickens IS THAT DAMN GOOD!!! Find a way to get him the ball. As I said pre-draft, he has the best physical catch radius since Lynn Swann. He's much more aggressive minded than Swannie, so maybe the gifts of Swann with the mentality of Crabtree/Evans?

[polamalubeast]

Imagine him in a true NFL caliber offense....

[Dwinsgames]

he has the bloodlines thats for sure ( as I mentioned in the predraft mock thread )

no not Carl Pickens ( although we have no idea who Georges father is I never did get an answer looking for it trying to connect him to Carl )

but he does have a significant athlete relative in his bloodlines

none other than Bo Jackson (his uncle)

so freak athlete is in his DNA

[Edman]

George Pickens has become our clear #1 receiver. A legitimate coordinator takes advantage of this. Unfortunately, we don't have one.
