I did predict that Bryant would have virtually no production this season, while others claimed he would actually START this season. I knew that was hog wash. And is Curtis Brown really better than all other options? Sometimes this team makes decisions on WACKO theories and priorities instead of just doing what makes obvious sense.
    We released Curtis Brown in the offseason. Unless you did a stupendously tremendous job of misspelling Justin Brown's name.
    Steeler teams featuring stat-driven, me-first, fantasy-football-darling diva types such as Antonio Brown & Le'Veon Bell won no championships.

    Super Bowl winning Steeler teams were built around a dynamic, in-your-face defense plus blue-collar, hard-hitting, no-nonsense football players on offense such as Hines Ward & Jerome Bettis.

    We don't want Juju & Conner to replace what we lost in Brown & Bell.

    We are counting on Juju & Conner to return us to the glory we once had with Hines & The Bus.

      That's my point: If one is going to say, "But if you run 3 plays of going to Bey deep, they could be wasted plays" to that I say, "Using 3 deep balls at the expense of running 3 less WR screens would be just fine with me." 1 of the goals of those screens is to make the D pay for playing back deep. So once they come up closer to the LOS, go deep to Bey once in a while. Not taking shots downfield is a waste.

        You literally have a problem with EVERY single thing this team does don't you? It's really pretty incredible.

          Thanks, typo cop. I don't know what we would do without you policing every name posted. Your service is instrumental in the functioning of a sport's message board on the inner nets.

            Your memory is quite erroneous. It's really pretty incredible.

                    Yes. His production even in HS was shaky at best. I believe his best season in HS and college was 41 catches.

                      I made a hilarious post in response and someone deleted it. Not only do I know what he was doing I am 10 steps ahead while in my sleep.

                          Kelvin Benjamin, Sammy Watkins, Brandin Cooks, Jordan Matthews, Mike Evans. These are all rookies who have shown that first year players can step in at WR and produce if they are in fact "players". I understand that DHB and JBrown play ST and all, but DHB hasn't been given any opportunities to contribute to the offense. JBrown has made a few catches but blown it when it really counted. He certainly hasn't impressed me. Sweed was ultimately canned for dropping a TD pass against the Rats. Brown's drop against Tampa prob cost us the game. Either Bryant has the goods or he doesn't, I hate PC excuses.

                            What is a PC excuse?

                            All but one of those rookies WR's are first rounders. Panthers also got rid of Steve Smith and Philly did the same with DeSean Jackson so they drafted replacements.

                            First year players can step in and play right away but they can also get drafted in later rounds and not play right away. Its not a PC answer its just the norm in the NFL. Not sure why some fans think 4th rounders playing on day 1 is the norm in the NFL.

                              I don't think it would hurt to try it for a week or two. We have seen little production out of the DHB, LM or JB up to this point.
                              Big receivers producing more in the red zone is a myth.

                                Where I could see Bryant playing a role, however, is as the One Trick Pony taking the top off the coverage.
