 If I asked you give me a word or two to describe still is why I receive a juju Smith shuster What's the first thing that comes to your mind? I know a lot of people will say take talk a lot of people will say dancer a lot of people say funny a lot of people say entertaining But I think a word that really resonates with everybody Especially after what we saw this offseason with his decision-making It would be loyalty Now as the Steelers drafted juju in the second round about what five years ago for five years ago And he had a very interesting decision to make He had a decision to choose. Oh, do I stay or do I go and to me? I was thinking uh-oh the Steelers they didn't put a tend on juju They didn't franchise tag juju They didn't resign him before he became a free agent or even after so this dude got an opportunity to leave So this team they didn't show any loyalty to you and then on top of that Two teams that the Steelers definitely have some recent history with Offered him more money than the Steelers ended up offering him And that was the Ravens who were looking for receiver help and the chiefs Who are always looking to make that team better and stronger and even more powerful But juju who received bigger offers from both baltimore and kansas city said No I'm not doing it not going there And those two are both obviously very successful teams very very well-run organizations, but juju said no i'm straight i'm staying right here And essentially what juju was doing was setting himself up for the long run But he was setting himself up for the long run Through loyalty because while he did take a cheaper deal to remain with the Steelers It was a one-year deal So essentially this one-year deal could propel him to get in a multi-year deal whether it be with the Steelers Or maybe somebody else in the future But that would set himself up if he had a nice year here in the system that he's already familiar with In the system that he already knows and in the system that already knows him Then he would be set for the future again, whether it be in pittsburgh or whether it be somewhere else And you had to respect him for choosing that route I know me I was and I mean y'all can go back and watch the videos I was one of ravens fans that actually wanted juju smith shoes to hear I did and I don't I don't feel bad about that at all because I felt like juju He could have been a good fit. I felt like juju He's a physical wide receiver and one thing that my my ravens they struggled at which the Steelers do A pretty good job at because they throw a lot of short passes They throw a lot of passes around or sometimes even behind but around the line of scrimmage But what those Steelers receivers do what juju smith shoes to does They get a lot of yak They're offense again a lot of short pass They do they do throw the deep shots in there, of course But a lot of short passes so those Steelers receivers they got a fight And they got to get a lot of yak And I was like man my ravens they've they've been struggling in the yak department for years now adding juice juju adding juju smith shoes to that would help in that department And that could also open it up for the other wide receivers around them too. So I was like, oh, yeah, that was for juju So when he turned down the ravens often and turned down the chiefs often I heard about why and heard about the money and stuff. I was like, okay That's cool. I ain't mad at him for that and I respect it Because loyalty is something that you don't hear about in the NFL very often Because these teams they are not loyal to these players Uh, that's why I I can never ever get mad at a player who wants to get his bread one way or another Whether it's one of your favorite players on your favorite team and they like I want to be traded Because I you know, I want to get paid and if they know they're not going to get paid from that current team I want to be out or even if their contract runs out and they like, you know what? I'ma go elsewhere because I know this team isn't going to pay. I respect it because NFL It's not for loyalty. That's what it stands for. It's not for loyalty because it's not But juju chose to go to loyal route And it sucks that now he is going to be he injured his shoulder and he had the surgery They said he had the surgery either last night or this morning And that not only puts him on injured reserve, but that's in it ends his season. So a season is done That's a wrap And you know what juju smith shoester? He was a player that he Showed his emotions out there on the field and I know a lot of people. Oh, he was a diva. He's this. No He he showed his emotions out there. I remember it was a game And that game actually did help my ravens to get into the playoffs that year Uh, I want to say it was in 2018 um, it might have yeah, I think it was 2018 where uh, The saints were playing the stealers And it was looking like the stealers had everything wrapped up Uh, ross berger threw a pass to juju juju caught it fumble fumble And that ended the game saints ended up winning And juju smith shoester Who you all know for of course the tiktoks and the dancing and having fun high energy guy But he was on the sideline crying And a lot of people look down on that They were like, oh man, look at this dude crying on the sideline. Oh man, what a punk. No, man You got to respect that that dude felt bad That the play that he made It cost this team a game And it cost this team a big spot there too in the playoffs so Shout out to uh, juju smith shoester for I just respect him, man I respect him because again, he puts it all out there Whether good whether bad he puts it out there and now that his season is done That's a big blow to the stealers because they have a very streaky offense in my opinion I feel like the offense is not very consistent. It's either it can be either really hot Or really not So in the times where it's really not and now you lose a player like juju smith shoester Who is one of your top receivers? Of course, you got chase claypool stealer And the ontage and then this is going to put more pressure on them to have to step up that much more But when you lose somebody like a juju smith shoester, then it just makes things for you that much harder So we'll see how the stealers Bounce back we'll see what moves or corresponding moves they make to juju smith shoester being out for the year now Um, and we just hope that everything goes smooth and it's a it's a smooth process with his recovery Now this may essentially hurt him In the short run in the short term Because again, he did just sign a one-year deal to come back to the stealers that was going to set him up for the long term But now Teams may be hesitant to give you that long term deal because you just has shoulder surgery And they're going to want to see how you recover how you bounce back And teams may not just want to throw out all that money to you right away So he may end up wherever he goes next whether he remains with Pittsburgh again Or just leaves he may end up signing another one-year deal So we'll see how it all ends up anyway team keep it clean. I appreciate y'all. I love y'all and we out
