Pickens to Dallas

[Shane Falco]

I kind of figured they were going to trade him after they traded for DK. Probably why they traded for DK in the first place because they were already done with Pickens. There were a lot of complaining about him last season.

If Dallas is trying to take down Philly they sure are going about it in ass-backward style. Stealers seem to be jockeying for that really high draft pick next year.

Well Steelers could always bring back Wilson, Giants have a too full QB room also.

They should be added to the list.

Damn I was hoping to get st least one season of the YN crash out platoon drama.

Tomlin will still find a way to win 9+ games with a less than ideal situation at QB and WR. And we'll be reminded how great he is for not sucking again.

A lot of coaches are mediocre, but Mike Tomlin stands atop Mt. Mediocre.

 

[SoulfishHawk]

Wait. Mike Tomlin is mediocre?

 

[Wsumatt1982]

The Steelers defense alone will win them some games. I think they won multiple games last year just kicking field goals. I know against the Falcons for sure, maybe another. I think they will still "compete" and not be a cellar dwelling team. They seem to overachieve a lot.

Yeah - what does the Pittsburgh WR room look like with Pickens gone?

• DK Metcalf
• Calvin Austin
• Robert Woods
• Ben Skowronek
• Roman Wilson
• Scotty Miller
• Ke'Shawn Williams
• Brandon Johnson
• Lance McCutcheon
• Roc Taylor

Not terribly impressive.

Maybe they're trying to go after Arch Manning....

...problem is I don't see him coming out next season.

I know some Steeler fans who said after last yer that big moves are coming because "These are the Steelers, we have a higher standard". Umm guys, you haven't reached anything close to that "higher standard" in over 5 years now.
Sure I will give them that without Tomlin being outstanding they would be worse. But then in that case their front office sucks.

 

[Palmegranite]

Kind of expected they'd move Pickens after the DK trade and new contract. He was already a headcase, adding DK to the mix plus handing him big money wasn't going to help that situation. Good deal for Dallas, basically a 3rd rounder.

So with Jerry Jeudy, then Pickens last year, the question everyone wants the answer to is: Do the Giants have an unhinged WR that Russell Wilson can throw to?

Mike Tomlinson is kind of the mirror image of Jeff Fisher. No matter the quality of the team, Fisher is bound to take them to a slightly sub-500 record, where Tomlin will take them to a slightly over 500 record.

Woods and Skow are ex Rams.

There are many good QBs in the draft next year regardless of Arch.

NIA being what it has become staying in school can pay a whole lot better than a rookie contract. And maybe that is the way it should be in terms of what is best for the student. Get that degree THEN worry about knocking heads for a living.

Tomlin is Marvin Lewis.

I couldn’t stand Jeff fisher and his stupid fake punts….
