Steelers think they cleaned house by getting rid of two malcontents but they have a lot of problems to deal with.
First Big Chest Brown is addicted to attention and the media that gives it to him. He will mouth off all summer about Ben and Tomlin. The media will then ask them and other players on team about the accusations that Brown makes. Will be a serious distraction that further divides team.
Worse, Big Chest is right. Big Ben is a big jerk, always mouthing off about players, play calling, coaching and more. He whined and cried when Steelers drafted another QB last year and said he wouldn't help the new guy at all. Then whined and cried more when they cut Landry Jones, who was so bad that he didn't get signed by anyone else until the season was half over.
Tomlin is huge disappointment. I thought first few years he would be a great coach. An intense, no nonsense kinda guy. But Ben undercut him and ownership/management didn't back the coach. Now Tomlin is a powerless figure head. Ben runs the team. Tomlin allowed AB to grow into an idiot. Team has zero discipline.
I think the problem goes all the way to the Rooneys. They are so intoxicated with being a 'player friendly franchise' that they have lost control. Big Ben is a jerk that should have tossed aside when he molested that girl in Georgia. They let AB be a fool. And many other issues on the team.
Don't look for Steelers to be in Super Bowl until Ben is gone, and probably Tomlin too.
