It was in one of the first few games that he threw the water cooler because he wasn't getting the ball enough. If I'm misremembering the time frame on that specific incident then my bad, but I absolutely remember thinking the next season that he wasn't acting like his old self.
You are largely correct. Burfict hit him in early 2016. The water cooler was Sept 2017, two seasons later. Then summer 2018 he was throwing furniture off of a balcony in Miami.
The season after Burfict, 2016 is when he was Facebook Live'ing everything in the locker room. It was also early in 2018 when he lost his shit of Twitter in response to an ex employee's tweet and said "Trade me and find out."
There was always something going on with him, but the Steelers kept it in house. Ryan Clark tells a story as far back as 2013ish when they let Mike Wallace go and gave Brown his money. But it was around 2017 when keeping it in house and quiet became increasingly difficult and we started to publicly see what we are seeing now.
