Bell is just dumb. He got an idea stuck in his head that he was the best and he had to be paid more than anyone else or he wasn't going to risk damaging his body at all.
Brown is dumb, but just on a personal level. He thinks he is the best and has a better work ethic than Bell but he thinks he deserves to be treated differently because of it.
Both are making it all about what they can get and not what they can do for the team.
Secondly they don't have a chance every year...and that's because of Tomlin. His locker room is a shambles, his coaches are not held accountable, HE is not held accountable...at least by the people who matter (ownership/players).
The one thing Brown may be right about, and the one thing that might create a change in Pittsburgh, is that Tomlin does not have control over the players or the locker room. They have succeeded in spite of his lack of leadership. And with that void players like Ben tried to step in...only to become the target of people like Brown who don't want ANY discipline.
Again, just one man's opinion from the outside.
spot on
100% correct all the way through.
One thing that I'll add.....I can respect Bell because I understand him wanting to get paid as much as possible. I won't begrudge him that. I still think he's overvalued himself and is a complete idiot for turning down $14.5M this year though.
Brown is a head scratcher. Greg Jennings pointed out that over the past 6 years, he's #1 in targets, #1 in receptions, #1 in yards, and #1 in TDs. And I'll add, part of a winning organization, with a HOF QB throwing him the ball, AND he's getting paid very very well.
So, what exactly is the problem? Why the beef? Theres absolutely no reason to act the way that he is. It make zero sense.
