QCity Posted January 11, 2019 Share Posted January 11, 2019 Incredible talent. truly one of the game's best WR's. Very reasonable contract as well. But that attitude....ugh. He's a diva and a flake rolled into one. I'm of the opinion that this could easily backfire. This guy has had the luxury of playing with a HOF QB his entire career and he has a meltdown if he doesn't get his 1,500 yards. What's he going to do if he struggles to get 1,000 yards with a 2nd year QB? He comes across as a me-first guy and not a team player. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Marv Levy had 4 HOF players and won 0 SB. How many important games has he lost with a top 7 QB, and the best RB and the best WR and a good offensive line? I know he’s a good coach, but if you can’t win with that, then there’s something wrong. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It all comes down to route running ability and being able to get separation and get open. Speed helps but as long as they aren't as slow as KB is then I think they will be just fine. burst out of the break Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The goal is to slice and dice every situation through the perspective of race, no matter how irrelevant it is to the situation. I don't think it's irrelevant. In another thread two people have already convicted Vance Joseph of something charges were never brought against him for. You can find people all over this board defending Rothlisberger. Yet in this thread people are trying to turn Antonio Brown into some insane monster left and right over stuff that is far less heinous than what the aforementioned have on their reputations. And the situation was exacerbated and mishandled by Tomlin.

Doc Brown Posted January 12, 2019 Share Posted January 12, 2019 I think he goes to the 49ers. It makes too much sense. The Steelers won't get the 49ers 2nd pick in the draft for him given Brown's age and contract, but I could see something like the 49ers giving up aa 2nd round pick in 2019 and 2020 trade for him.

Starr Almighty Posted January 12, 2019 Share Posted January 12, 2019 The thing that confuses me about this board is that everyone says we need to upgrade the offense. But be almost nobody wanted Landry. Now mostly nobody wants Brown or Bell.

Dkollidas Posted January 13, 2019 Share Posted January 13, 2019 I just don’t want him. I don’t want a guy like that conplaining to the media about allen in any way shape or form. At least with a drafted guy, or a guy they’d sign like Humphries or Conley or whoever, if a game goes bad, they’ll just blame themselves and the team as a whole. I could totally see AB just calling out individuals, the coaches, stuff like that. Just doesn’t seem to fit what they want here. I don’t want it either. Also, he’s how old? 30??? No thank you.

TheFunPolice Posted January 13, 2019 Share Posted January 13, 2019 Not interested given his attitude issues over several seasons Something is very wrong with Pittsburgh's locker room and he is a big part of it No need to bring problems into this young roster. Just sign a decent FA and find one or two WR in the draft Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It would cost the Steelers a ton of cap space to tag him, but they have the option if there is a trade market After the supposed deadline it came out that the language in Bells contract was extremely vague regarding the subject of season accrual. Legally, the assumption is that if arbitrated Bell wins easily. Bell for 3 years 50 isnt terrible. If it was fully guaranteed he would do it. Though I think he is 1 test away from a 1 yr suspension. I would def trade a 2nd plus for Brown. 3 to 4 years of top production would be worth it. Foster and Ab is a pretty good duo. Take Fant at 9 and the offense is pretty good outside.
