The Random Thought Thread

I personally don't want anything to do with either of them, but do we think AB and or Fournette where different jerseys next season? Second question, not will they do it, but is there even a thought in harbs/deCostas mind about keeping Joe next season? A Wentz foles kinda situation. I think Joe costs too much for that, but do you think they're considering it? Final prediction. I don't think Joe has played his last non kneeling snap in a ravens uniform. Not because of a Lamar injury.

No way in hell does AB leave the Steelers, but I think Fournette might but who knows...

Ravens RT Orlando Brown started 10 games this year and went the entire season without allowing a sack, per @PFF. Ravens got an absolute steal by drafting him in the third round.

I know Lamar is going to get the credit because he is the QB but if certain injuries didn't happen I don't think we are playing the Chargers this weekend and Harbaugh may be on his way to Denver.

It was former steelers Ryan Clark who said that about AB

You could tell Clark was a little agitated over the situation showing his love of his former franchise and irritation over how disrespectful AB has been toward them.

He said the Steelers need to shop him but AB has beaten them to the punch and is demanding a trade

I’d say no way in hell AB stays. Irreconcilable differences

Now this is huge news. Send him to the NFC
 
I am not 100% sure this is really what he wants but he may just see the writing on the wall and make it look like his move not theirs
 
I think the steelers and Bengals really drop off. Tbh we all saw how hard it was for the steelers to beat the Bengals at home last week with their season on the line without AB and Bell. They even had Conor back. Couple that with Ben contemplating retirement for a couple years now... Honestly if they do trade AB, I wouldn't be shocked if Ben hangs it up. I saw his presser after last week and that looked like a man who's come to terms with end.
 
Also I just really want to see Joe used in some sort of trick play thing. I just think he's too good to not be used in a tiny role. Same thing they were saying with Lamar, gotta play your playmaker.
 
What could AB have had a problem with Ben about? You cannot argue even a little that Ben isn't feeding him enough. It's confusing. JLC reported this has been his third total outburst of the season. Additionally Bud Dupree was playing with Leveons cleats and other equipment making fun of him to the media earlier in the year. Lockeroom seems like it's in utter turmoil

Didn't this happen last year?

Drama happened last year, but did he willfully take himself out of a game when healthy that had the potential to amount to a playoff game and then request a trade? That’s a new level of insubordination and cannot be tolerated.

Last year did the franchise endure a full season of distractions like they did this year with Bell? Circumstances now seem completely different. I can’t imagine they want to repeat that.

What are they going to do? Give him a stern talking to? Make him promise he’ll be a good boy?

Last year was the locker room video situation where him and Tomlin had a big issue iirc. Drama certainly isn't new for that organization, everytime we get a peak into their culture it seems like everybody hates everybody else.

If history repeats itself, the Steelers would just do nothing and force him to hold out if he doesn't want to play (like Bell).

That’s just it I don’t think they are going to want to repeat Bell distraction with AB. And a locker room video is quite different than sitting out a game where the season is potentially on the line. Think about it ... I have no doubt AB was hoping the Ravens and Steelers both would lose just to show he was able to cost them their season. How can anyone tolerate that?

I guess we’ll see.

He isn't accused of sitting out the game, he is accused of skipping practice and expecting to still get to play, then getting sat.
