However, he is also the single biggest diva in the game, and unquestionably has thrown team mates under the bus because he didnt get his way. The effect that will have on what was a really bad football team already, remains to be seen but the chances he is a guy that helps them in the locker room are somewhere between none and less than zero.
Add into that whole thing a Jon Gruden who looks like a deer in the headlights since coming back but still has all the power of personnel guy and head coach?
Yeah I can see how this is probably going to play out.

Let's not forget the entire situation in Pittsburgh started because Big Ben threw Brown under the bus publicly in the media and there's clear evidence that Ben was getting preferential treatment in the locker room from the coaching staff. The aftermath of that was simply Brown playing the Steelers like a fiddle and forcing a team that held all the leverage to take a $21 million dead cap hit and minimal trade return which never happens. Anyone remotely interested in the fine details of this trade should give this a read as it implies the Steelers are not handling their top players the right way when it comes to contracts;
