Why would you have a dispute with the guy who made you? AB would be good anywhere, but there are only so many HoF QBs out there.

Will Steeler's ignore it or will they dock him a week's pay check?

I bet they ignore it. They tend to ignore crap when HOF players are involved.

I hope they don't. It's unthinkable but Im beginning to think they need to move from Brown. Good WRs are easier to find than HoF QBs. 

They could probably get a haul in a trade.

Without question they have to get rid of Brown.

Neither of those guys at easily replaced. Steelers are in a bad spot having to choose sides here. No matter what they choose, the team is worse.

Darn.

Brown is easier to replace than Ben. 

I mean....you could never FULLY replace either. But you can come closer to replacing the performance level of a WR than a QB.

It goes without saying but you have to question if Tomlin shouldn't go out the door with Brown. The Steelers have imploded under his watch, to say the least.

Yeah the Steelers would do well to look to Cincinnati for some pointers on moving on from a lame duck coach.

I wanted Tomlin out the door before this happened. Now even more. This IS the result of his coaching style. 

This offseason is a critical time for Pittsburgh. IMO they can make bold moves and recover really quickly by getting rid of Tomlin and trading Brown for a shit ton of picks and/or talent. Or they can keep both and continue on the same path, which I fear is what might happen. With the Ravens resurgent defense, an improving Browns team, and the Bengals getting healthy, next year could be epicly bad and dysfunctional. 

They are wasting the final years of Bens career and probably pushing him out the door.

Yeah I fear that too. I hope they get things ironed out.

I don't know if imploded is the correct word, but they have definitely been on the decline. Tomlin definitely needs to hit the bricks.

I'm ready for the team to start rebuilding. Tomlin, Ben, Brown, I'm good. I think they are ready for a new era and I'm willing to see them miss the playoffs a few more years to make it happen.

Roethlisberger ran Todd Haley out of town, criticized Martavis Bryant constantly, was all too pleased to call out Bell, called out Washington publicly and now he's fighting with Antonio Brown. I wonder what the problem could be.

I've said that for years.  He's not only a drama queen, but he continually throws everyone he can under the bus.  Wonder who he blamed Sunday's INT on?  He was definitely looking for someone to blame when he simply got fooled by the safety.

The Steelers are a hot mess

Big Ben is terrible leader. He’s a finger pointing, divisive, selfish player. Who constantly looks for someone to blame or throw under the bus for his shortcomings. Le’veon situation was the prob now. Le’veon wasn’t the reason 7-2-1, but the problem for missing playoffs. FOH
