The Steelers have coddled George Pickens for far too long, and it’s time to cut their losses. This guy is a walking headache, a diva receiver who’s more concerned with his highlight reel than winning games.
Rooney’s comments about Pickens needing to “grow” are a joke. This isn’t a rookie we’re talking about, this is a third-year player who should know better. He’s been flagged for unsportsmanlike conduct, he’s shown up late for games, and he’s generally been a distraction.
Pickens’ talent is undeniable, but it’s not worth the drama he brings. The Steelers need to send a message that this kind of behavior won’t be tolerated. They need to cut ties with Pickens and find a receiver who’s more committed to the team’s success.
This is a franchise that’s built on discipline and accountability, and Pickens doesn’t fit that mold. He’s a selfish player who’s more concerned with his own stats than winning games. The Steelers need to move on from him and find a receiver who’s a true team player.
