While many are obviously quick to paint the Pittsburgh Steelers’ barn red with a broad brush when it comes to some of the things that the organization has dealt with outside the football field, particularly as it concerns the behavior and decisions of Le’Veon Bell and Antonio Brown and how that differs from situations other teams have had, there is one question that I always come back to.
Are their situations really so comparable to what other teams have dealt with? While discussing Bell and Brown specifically, we have to understand that we are dealing with historically great players, players whom their peers have regarded as among the five best in the entire league.
