George Pickens is pissed.

George Pickens recently took to social media to remove all associations with the Pittsburgh Steelers and unfollow quarterback Kenny Pickett and Head Coach Mike Tomlin. And this was all after the team won on Thursday Night Football against the Tennessee Titans.
He posted a not-so-cryptic message on his Instagram story, saying “Free me.”
In this video, we breakdown why Pickens might be so pissed, and if he has legitimate gripes or if he’s just playing out the archetype of “talented diva wide receiver.”

Love the Kollman shoutout, he's one of the best creators in the space.

[@footballdoesntmatter]

Totally. He was one of the people that got me into this stuff

[@ChewsCarefully]

@@footballdoesntmatter He's done a lot of great videos including the one that exposed the myth that Fields "can't read defenses." I only found analysis channels that got me interested in watching the NFL in '22 & even I could _see_ he had no such trouble. But I wonder why everyone still thinks he does? Well, okay, I don't really wonder about it. "Social psychology" provides clues. I wouldn't go on about it except that this meme has affected his career. NFL coaches & GM are aware of fan & social media bias. It's how Matt Canada lost his job. But they're not about to sit down & watch videos made by KZbinrs. Still I can't help thinking that had they seen his video, the Jets might have drafted him instead of Wilson & had more people than me realized that *_all_* his negatives are due 100% to what the Bears had done to him that he's already be announced as the starter for the Giants or maybe even contesting to be for the Browns. If the Browns get him, I'd put $ on them winning the S-B at the start of the year.

Extremely good breakdown on Pickens. Nice work.

[@Card23xf1mw]

😅 great work!!!... i get that he gets mad whenever he's not getting the ball but its literally 50/50 either he gives up on his routes or kp just flat out misses him!!....die hard steelers fan from day one live 30 minutes from downtown, weve all seen this before with E. Sanders AB, ill put money on it that hes asking for a trade within the next year or more he's only happy-go-lucky whenever hes catching balls and worrying about his own stats! Hes not a team player and will want to go to a team that has a good QB, sorry but i dont thi k kenny will ever be the guy putting up big numbers not under this staff but look at the difference between this rookie class and him! So many teams passed on him and they needed a Qb 😢😅 he has to be better period if he wasn't in the same building we dont draft him

[@footballdoesntmatter]

Really appreciate it! I’m not a Pickett believer, but he could be handcuffed by Canada. He is so much better in the 4th quarter when they start to loosen up from all the short outside stuff and finally let him just play. But yeah too inconsistent right now and lacks the accuracy.

[@reyflorez8390]

Diva! Just sit him down !

[@jayrose8869]

Soon as a player voices their frustration all of a sudden they’re a diva. Maybe if you guys had a better QB you wouldn’t be having these issues. Hopefully he gets traded to a good team.

[@maskedman5657]

Lol if you using underdawg fantasy you would have really been pissed

[@footballdoesntmatter]

Hahaha, thought you had that payout?

[@user-ec6il2kf6r]

Tomlins a FRAUD. PICKENS is overrated

[@Card23xf1mw]

Tomlin needs to man up and fire the OC! They didn't even pick up the phone whenever Leftwich was calling wanting a job helping out the offense

[@user-ec6il2kf6r]

@CarterAdkins-xf1mw nah its too late for Tomlin to man up that was last year at the latest Tomlin has these problems every year he needs a buffer so he won't totally be blamed for the same problems year after year
