I agree. I'm not ready to say that Juju isn't #1 material, but the point has merit. He needs a good QB to be good. So in that case, I can say that he's not an elite receiver because they make a QB better. Maybe he can become one since he's still young, but I doubt it. He hasn't really shown the desire to take that step up.
All love for Juju. Great kid & all, but its time for him to grow up a little.
He's under contract through 2020, but the Steelers could look to extend him long-term given his price tag appears to be a lot lower right now. And I think JuJu will be onboard with it because he will be hungry to prove himself. Give him a mid-tier contract top 15ish at the position, and provide plenty of incentive-based bonuses. If Ben stays healthy next year, Juju should take off again with another great year. Waiting to sign him after next season would cost them double.Exactly. He hasn't learned to help a lesser QB from his time working with Ben and AB. If that doesn't come then yes he is nothing but a good WR. Granted nothing wrong with that and if they want to have a chance to win next week he better step up.
