He should go to Pittsburgh, the new criminal central.

How does that happen? As solid an organization as there is in the NFL.

Is it simply ***** happens and everyone stubbs their toe, even organizations as solid as the Steelers.

Is it a lack of leadership from the HC?????

The Rooney's will be putting extra effort into cleaning this up IMHO.

He'll be lucky to fetch a 4th round pick.

I agree. Steeler's as an organization, town and fan base have too much pride for this. It will get cleaned up. Wonder if they will need to jettison their coach at some point. He just seems a little to full of himself to me and a little too polished. Cowher's shoes were tough to fill but Tomlin just comes off as arrogant.

Good. Fans and coach, both douchebags.

Love the kid but he made his own problems off the field and he lost the job while out to Fred Jackson. Still think he can be a very good NFL player but he needs to get his life in control again and maybe a new team can help with a new start.

All I can say is if he ends up a Raider, it'll be a disaster.

Tomlin is a big part of his players screwing up lately IMO. Also, Rothlisberger has always been a bit of the frat boy type. Holmes comes from an underprivileged background. I doubt they bring in another guy with questionable character any time soon.

Based on what?

Obviously he passed the character test that he got hired by them in the first place?

Or is your opinion motivated by something else? Just saying you know..

SD should trade a mid round or conditional pick for him.

My opinion is based on how Tomlin comes across to me. He has always seemed like a "punk" to me.

I don't know enough about the Steelers, but is the Rooney who has been running the team for years now the one that hired Tomlin or is it one of his sons? I know that he is up there in years now and of course with Obama making him an ambassador he is no longer as involved, but was he then or were his sons already calling the shots?

He had a good rookie campaign and got selected to the pro bowl in 2008. 2009 was basically a lost year because he got suspended and Fred Jackson cemented his position as starter in that time, not to mention the complete collapse of their o-line.

I don't think the Bills will trade him, but I'm sure teams like the Chargers and Texans will at least give them a call.

In the mock i did, I mentioned how SD should trade for him. That would be the perfect place for Lynch to go. If all they ask for is a 4th round pick, SD would be dumb to not do it unless there is alot more to his off field stuff than we know about.
