Mendenhall is a bust. Bet the steelers wish they drafted Ray Rice now. Oz > Colbert

If you think the Steelers are going to spend a first-round pick on a running back, you better think again.
As for Lacy, that might be a reasonable selection if Alabama actually produced, you know, productive NFL-caliber running backs.

I’m not concerned about him having an opinion. I’m concerned about him dancing around behind the line of scrimmage and losing yards, his fumbling, and his injury issues. I’m worried about his level of commitment to the team when he decided not to show up to the game because he wasn’t going to get to suit up.

It is time to move on from him and bring in a running back that can get the job done. I’m just hoping Lacy falls far enough to grab him.

Could care less about what he said, I’m just glad he’s leaving cause he sucks at running back.

Hopefully the next headline about Mendenhall will read “Ex Steeler RB”, he was a waste of a high draft pick

26 in June! That running back wall is hitting younger and younger these days. The Bucs should trade Doug Martin while they can still get something for him.

I also think Mendenhall’s attractiveness to advertisers is gone too.

In addition to his sub-par play, injury history, likelihood of being let go by a high profile NFL team in free agency and his hot button comments — he now also has shown he has no qualms suing the companies he had previously retained his services.

This only works out well for Mendy if he plays lights out football and learns from the mistakes of others who’ve gone before him, when it comes to voicing incendiary comments.

The Steelers currently have ONE running back under contract: The always dangerous Baron Batch. Might be time for Tomlin to lighten up on Mendenhall and welcome him into the fold. He’s still the team’s best option.

It won’t be shocking if he’s out of the league in two years. There’s no team that’s going to sign him to be a starter next year, and like the article says, if you’re just signing a backup, there are cheaper options that are as good or better, and haven’t proven to be annoying and injury-prone.

Mendenhall screwed the pooch on this one. In hypersensitive PC America non-mainstream opinions about race and Bin Ladin cannot be discussed by public figures.

Oh yea, and you better stand for the national anthem, Chris Jackson I am looking at you.

After Mendenhall made those idiotic comments, I would not buy any product he had his name on. The company was right to dump him. He has the right to say dumb things, and they have the right to fire him over it. Based on his mental handicap, he should be parking in the special blue spots.

What Rash thought was a black helicopter actually appeared to be a crow as it got closer. The government is getting sneakier by the day.

Since when is “controversial” a bad thing? And I want something besides saying its a “distraction”

Saying his comment was controversial is an overstatement. Champion was out of line in their actions. All he did was question the way things were handled. Hardly controversial in most peoples book…

What he said was pretty dumb, but he’s a Rhodes scholar compared to Te’o.

You know, regardless of what you think of Mendenhall’s comments, it’s pretty shameful how much someone in a ‘free’ country suffers for speaking his mind. He wasn’t out there calling for the deaths of his countrymen, he wasn’t spewing hate against anyone… but he gets treated worse than Pig Ben, who actively hurts his countrymen (or, country WOMEN, rather). Pretty shameful episode.
