Bryant Vs. JUJU

S.Samek

So far, the Pittsburgh Steelers have found success at 5-2 to start the year. However, one member isn’t happy with that success and wants out.

  Wide receiver Martavis Bryant for the second time in as many weeks is basically requesting a trade.

  Bryant said he wanted out last week because he wasn’t getting enough targets.

Now after Sundays games against the Bengals he’s at it again saying he’s a better receiver than rookie Juju Smith-Schuster.

This season Bryant has 18 receptions for 234 yards and a touchdown. Smith-Schuster has 17 catches for 231 yards and three touchdowns. The stats are pretty much a dead heat this year.

Bryant did have a pretty good 2015 after an ok rookie year in 2014. However, he went and got suspended in 2016. Now that he is reinstated it should take time to get back to a high level of performance.

He is having an ok season so far. Just not to the point where he is the best receiver on the team. Calling out a guy like this isn’t needed. Smith -Shuster isn’t doing anything wrong, just trying to get snaps and make plays. They just happen to have very similar numbers too. Making it hard to figure out which receiver is best.

  I do think that having Bryant suspended for a whole season prior to this doesn’t help his cause. He shouldn’t be looking for more trouble, rather focusing on the on the field progress.

  Let him get traded. Sure, you lose some talent, but what if it never develops like he thinks it will. Maybe JUJU is the number two guy of the future, or even number one. Sell high to a team willing to take a chance on Bryant. If not just dump him and move on.
