Larry Fitzgerald A Steeler

What’s boys town?

Swerve . You that young ? Lol.

 

[Zeldas Open Roof]

I honestly don't remember.

No one does, kudos to Larry’s PR team.

Sorry, not sure the reference. Enlighten me.

Spencer Tracy and Mickey Rooney . Circa 1938 . Even I saw the rerun .

Me neither

After listening to Sanders talk about AB, this is getting exciting as to who the Steelers will get in return.

 

[BuffetParrothead]

Clown brown is gone.
Lol.

 

[Gunga_Galunga]

Antonio Brown is gone, he won't play for the Steelers again. Rooney just publicly told everyone he's on the trading block.

Think about what it would take for Tomlin to bench Brown in a game of that magnitude. Whatever happened, it's beyond the point of return.

 

[BuffetParrothead]

Is he even a free agent ?

On Saturday it was reported on ESPN he put his decision to return to the Arizona on hold.

This would be the time to approach him.

 

[mike 301]

Is he putting his decision to return to Arizona on hold or the NFL on hold?

Part of me can see him only wanting to play for one franchise and perhaps calling it quits if Arizona doesn’t work out.

Yes . But I never thought I'd see Free meal Franco in a Seahawk's jersey .
Just sayin .

 

[Pitt79]

Larry is done with Arizona so why not Pittsburgh?
He's a great person, a wonderful example for young NFLers, and had a great career in Arizona.
Two more years in Pittsburgh.

Nothing matters but TALENT, who cares if he's a ''great person'', I'd rather have AB back. Why are you watching anyways? These people disrespect the anthem and the flag.

Well, I don't want AB back because he makes the team worse. He can do all the great things he wants on AB island, but when he causes Ben, Foster, Pouncey, Dupree etc to lose their mind, he's not worth it. You fail to look at the impact he has on the rest of the team and just look at his performance in a silo.

 

[BigBird80]

And if I had to guess, the only 2 locations besides Arizona you might see Fitz would be Pittsburgh or Minnesota.

 

[andypappas]

We all love Fitz, but this is a business decision, not a decision of the heart. Fitz can't produce like AB. He's nearing the end of his career because he is declining, not peaking. He had well under 1,000 yards (730 receiving, and 6 TDs. AB had 15 TDs and 1300 yards receiving. A wise business decision to replace AB is not about love of a former Pitt player who is unable to produce even half of AB, but about someone who can come closer to AB stats.

While Fitz may be on the decline, please don't compare the stats between the 2.

Arizona was the worst team in the NFL
They had a rookie qb with a bad o-line

If he had a QB and offense like the Steelers his stats would have been way better. Also, I am not knocking Brown, but how many of the passes he caught were the slip screens? These passes pad the stats.

Id trade AB for Peterson and sign fitz as a FA. Youd shore up the D and have a possession receiver along side Ju Ju

Agree. You would then have to make your #1 pick MLB.

Id make every pick on Defense except perhaps RB or WR. I like JC but he has yet to show he can be counted on an entire year.

I think they need to start looking at depth OL also. Nice to have Chukes and Hawkins as young OT's in the waiting, start looking at the interior OL.

We WILL agree to disagree, if he's gone the offense will be worse.

 

[BigBird80]

Is the offense the problem or the defense? If you can get a cb like Peterson for him, or a draft pick that helps you get a Devin White, Montez Sweat or Devin Bush + a cb like DeAndre Baker or Byron Murphy.... and removed a locker room cancer, this becomes a better team. They can still score 21 a game instead of 26 a game and win more.

So you're solution to fixing the defense costs making the offense worse, no thanks. None of those people are proven, they could come in and be the next Jarvis Jones or Artie Burns, except with a worse offense.

 

[Pitt79]

NONE, ZERO of the losses this year where on AB, but some of the wins where because of him, so losing him makes the team worse.
