Good for Orlovsky! Haskins always came across as a low work ethic player and nothing has changed my opinion on that. Steelers as a team I've never cared for, and Tomlin is an overrated coach. They always play down to the level of their competition, and for three years in a row they've had huge late-season collapses. I really think he enables all the toxic crap in the locker room. They aren't quite as bad as they were in recent past, largely due to TJ Watt, but, honestly, let Haskins fail under Tomlin's toxic, cancerous culture.
Watson is being a total crybaby. He knew what the team's management and ownership were like when signing the extension, is being paid more than anyone other than Mahomes, and he's complaining? If he's really "so elite" then why did he and his team collapse in last year's playoffs, and then crater to 4-12? That's right, he just cares about padding his stats. Much of his stats were in garbage time, and while to his credit he did have some deep passes, he got a lot of yardage on short passes, thanks to poor tackling and blown assignments. Oh and he lost to the Bengals' porous defense and third-string QB too, at home. NFL has an agenda, and they want Watson to be one of their "next big faces." So he's "the good guy" and "deserves to have his wish granted."
As far as Wilson, I believe this is the first time I've heard him complain like this, though the early warning signs were there. I understand being upset at the team's poor OL, and he's an aging player who's been a proven winner, unlike DuhShaun. However, he is a player, not the GM, and those decisions are not his to make. The Wilson situation doesn't sound as bad to me, but something to monitor. I don't like where this is heading though. NFL is going full NBA.
