Last year we had good chemistry but no Ben
hopefully this year we have a healthy Ben and we maintain the same good chemistry- that probably leaves AB out of the equation

He still will be very good. The skillset he has tends to age well (sure hands, perfect route running ability). He's never been a physical phenom, just really good at his craft. That and 2 years less of wear and tear on the body, it's more so total wear and tear over time more so than age that makes athletes go downhill imo (one of the reasons why marcus allen was able to play until almost 40, he spent a few years on the bench due to Al Davis dispute)
He's finished, done, it's over, a wasted talent who never won anything.
the Steelers last reached a Super Bowl (losing to Green Bay) in his rookie season of 2010 when he was barely a contributor
This is a great sign! I sincerely hope he's turned the corner."I've been talking to my therapist," he said. "I've been talking to people that don't have no agendas, people who just allow me to express myself and listen to me and don't give me feedback with regard of what they're trying to get. I've been talking to people that are focused on my mental health."
"You've heard people brag about 'being in the zone'. They don't know what the Hell being in the zone is about. I played in the NFL for 15 years and I was only in the zone that one time." - "Mean" Joe Greene on the 1974 playoff victory over Oakland

I agree. It just feels like he's saying whatever he believes he needs to say to preserve what he perceives to be his world.
I truly hope he discovers how much better life is when you aren't only living for yourself, and he accepts that what he has been doing isn't the way it should be or has to be.
True that - someone writes the apologies that go out through his social media accounts then he gives an interview which someone cannot edit. This after the Instagram apology this week
Fast forward just a few days and someone decided to stick a microphone in front of him and Brown did what he does best. Completely contradict himself. Brown did an interview with Power 105.1 as he continues to promote his music and the topic of the Steelers had to come up.
I think it was all an act with him,” Brown said talking about Steelers quarterback Ben Roethlisberger. “Guys around him could never really see eye to eye … There’s rules, and then there’s Ben.”...
He also doubled down on his dislike for JuJu Smith-Schuster and aimed it at preferential treatment by Roethlisberger. “He think he the best, I am the best,” Brown said. “Ben (was) trying to force him the ball to make him the guy … Everyone want to protect the little kid and come after me these days.”

Tomlin came out today and said that once a Steeler, always a Steeler in regards to AB. Followed that up by saying at this time, interested in helping him develop and improve on himself but no business interest in signing AB.
from listening to the segment. I think Tomlin wants to roll with the receivers he has and see how they perform with Ben throwing the football: DJ and Washington showed growth last season.
If one of those guys goes down (or JJ) and AB is still available and showing maturity....maybe Tomlin takes a chance on him? And that’s a big maybe
I'd take Bell back in a heartbeat. He just tried to beat the system and failed. This lying sack of shit......no way.
Tomlin sounds like a parent (of a child who’s messed up royally). There is indeed love & concern there, but also a firmness.
AB is a Steeler; he always will be... but, he’s not spending another night under my roof.
Agree there is no way AB comes back to the Steelers
And I would not take Bell back - not because he tried to beat the system but, as many of us predicted, once he got his big contract he got fat
Bottom of this linked article says the Jets would love to get rid of him, but the cap hit if they release him in 2020 is too big and the return on a trade likely would be a minimal third day of darft pick
The Jets, who felt Bell gained weight and lost explosiveness as the season went on, have to make it work for another year.

Antonio Brown: “I haven’t done anything that bad”
