Mendenhall Suspended

[lloydroid]

And to think all of those who mocked me in the off season for me saying Dwyer would be the better NFL back if he got a shot. I guess it's _really_ hard to be the better back when you don't even dress. Lloydroid 1, the mockers 0.

None of the team showed up at Heinz on Sunday, what's the big deal?

There was no room to run, it wasn't the backs fault.

[SteelCrazy]

This is bs. Conduct detrimental to the team? How? How is he causing harm to the team by not being there when he isnt even dressing? He needs to appeal and I hope he wins.

[Dee Dub]

well, that's that.

move RB up a round or two.

Why? Whats wrong with the other 3 RB's this team has? (Dwyer, Redman, and Rainey)

are you serious?

this is far worse than his truther tweets,which I didn't have a problem with. This shows a me first mentality and I hope he is kept away from the team for the rest of the season.

edit- cmon dub, get real. Neither of those guys(redman,dwyer) are feature backs as we have seen this year, and rainey is a 5-8 touch/game guy outside of his return duties.

How can you claim this has happened yet? Mendenhall is still obviously the better NFL back. However, that doesn't mean that Dwyer wasn't a better fit for the Steelers this year.

Are you serious? He was demoted for fumbling, just like the rest of the RB's on the team did. The Steelers sit him at the 3rd spot and then the next week they dont even dress him? He stays home and he gets suspended? Why does he have to be there if he isnt dressing and is 100% healthy? Hold a clip board? APPEAL!

Had JD ever got all the carries that RM had, he would have destroyed his production. I have never seen RM make something out of nothing but I have seen JD do that for big plays, several times just this year.

Team is currently a hot mess....

[Eddie Spaghetti]

why the hell wouldn't he be there?

unprofessional and childish, thats why.

can't believe someone is defending this action.

lloydroid, Dwyer is fat and lazy. He has a lot to prove before he is even in the same league with RM. I'm not even a big RM fan, but I feel like one in this thread......

Cant believe someone is calling it an action

Why should he show up when he is healthy and they do not dress him. That seems childish to me....not dressing your best back because he fumbled twice, all the while the rest of of your RB's did the same thing

[BigRob]

The ifs and buts arguments hold no water. RM has been and is still the better NFL back based on production.

It took JD two years just to get on an NFL field. He may turn out to be the better NFL back, but not yet.

choosing to stay home and pout instead of coming to the ballpark is definitely an action, bub.

don't know if you are purposely being obtuse.
