Would be nice to have him but I don’t see it happening.  

Fooling yourself.  He’s still a top 3 WR for a few more years 

He's also a top three pain in the ass. No thanks.

No doubt Brown has acted as a bit of a diva, but from where I sit - Ben Roethlisberger and Tomlin have not been exactly blameless. You just dont go on public radio and call out your pro-bowl WR. Also, it appears Tomlin has let Ben have a run of the place and instead of putting an end to childish behavior on both sides, by actively siding with Ben over AB and painting AB as a quitter, he has exacerbated the situation.

I can't think of a training camp in recent memory where Ben didn't openly ponder retirement leading to weeklong narratives regarding his commitment to the team.

 

Or a season in which he didn't publicly throw a coach, or teammate, or entire position group under the bus.

He needs to just log off

Some posters on this board believe that the player formerly known as A.B and now known as Mr. Big Chest is what was right with the Steelers organization.

He is a certified drama queen. Want nothing to do with him. I hope the Bills stay far away from him.

 “Tell them I ain’t doing no un-guarantees. I ain’t even gonna play myself no more for this NFL. . . . I think I done everything. What y’all think? What’s left for me to do? Win a Super Bowl? Gotta be the right team for that, right? . . . If your team got guaranteed money, they want to get to know me and work with me, tell them to call me.”

 

 

I think he said about 3 times how he won’t play in the NFL no more unless his money is guaranteed. I guess that answers the question of whether or not he will play on his current contract... 

[YoloinOhio]

 

[Alphadawg7]

I have been on the side that felt AB is worth getting, even though I did not expect us to.  I felt like McD is a strong coach and could manage his locker room compared to Tomlin who I think is overrated and done a poor job in the locker room.

 

HOWEVER:  AB keeps hurting his case more and more each day.  My opinion is now being swayed away from liking the idea of him coming here (even though I never really thought he would anyway).  His team around him is failing him poorly by not finding a way to keep this dude out of the media, some anonymous GM's have reportedly already said this stuff has changed their interest in him.  

 

I would be open to a trade for Julio, Green, or OBJ...but my preference is to stay young and drama free and go sign Humphries to lock down that Kupp/Edelman slot weapon for Josh (He is a definite upgrade to Zay IMO at that), then draft Metcalf or someone early, and then steal Marquise Brown in the 3rd after his injury.  

 

Sorry AB, been a big fan, but you have even lost my enthusiasm for you with your idiotic antics on social and the off field issues that have to come to light.  Bye Felicia 

 

DISCLAIMER:  I reserver the right to be excited if the best WR in football defies the odds and is traded to the Bills just on sheer fact I have a man crush on Allen and will be thrilled to see him have an Elite weapon now.  Until then, I reserve the right to say FU AB, you aren't worth the headache because you are too stupid to keep your mouth shut and your nose clean.

[ddaryl]

I think Pitt trades him to the NFC before selling low to an AFC team

[YoloinOhio]

 

[richNjoisy]

I will be surprised if a team offers a 1st for him. Not that he is not worth it but because he has hurt his trade value too much at this point. But you never know. I can

see the raiders over paying. I would definitely offer a 3rd. Maybe a 2nd. Is a swap of 1sts (9 for 20) too much?

This is the guy some folks here want as our #1 WR?! Dude has issues that we don't want/need. Just getting him to meetings on time is an issue(unless he gets a ride in a helicopter). No Thanks.

Um, we had a player quit at halftime.  How is McDermott better at locker room manangement than  Tomlin?  

 

Tomlin is getting a bunch bunch of crap because he has had 3 of the biggest idiots divas forced on him.  The problem is they have to put up with them because they are really good.  But you’re delusional if you think Brown would be any better citizen in Buffalo than playing for one of the most storied franchise, that is always in playoff contention, with a HOF Qb.  Brown, Bell, and Big Ben care more about themselves than the team.  Brown would be a disaster here. I’d put odds on him going the Davis route more than the Reed one.

 

Brown is an idiot and a cancer to a locker room (I hate using that word for sports but it’s true here).  Draft young, hungry guys (which Brown once was) for way less the price and headaches.  Honestly, and I normally support the players, I hope the Steeelrs just tell him to eff off and make him sit out the whole year.

So considering I said all this were the reasons I am souring on Brown, not sure what you are trying to say to me as we seem to agree on the issue with Brown.

 

However, I disagree on Tomlin and greatly disagree about what you said about McD and having a player quit at halftime.  

 

First, Tomlin to me is a bit over rated.  His makes so many poor choices in games that it baffles me he doesn't get more flack.  And since he has been HC (2007), his rosters have been one of the most talented overall during that span, yet he has never gotten to the SB but one the time in 2009.  Most importantly, both current and past Steeler players have voiced issues with how he handles the locker, to say its 100% the fault of those 3 players and assign no responsibility to the coach for letting those 3 players be that way is baffling to me.  Its not like AB, Bell and Big Ben are the first players to ever have big egos or personalities to manage.  So to act like Tomlin has no responsibility in this situation makes no sense.

 

Second, and the thing I massively disagree with is this comment about a player retiring at halftime as if that is somehow a reflection on McD and how he runs his locker room and team.  The actions of one man, who just lost his will to play...to play a game where its unforgiving physically and needs 100% commitment to lay your health and future on the line...quits on a team, doesn't mean McD runs a bad locker room.  Is Andy Reid running a bad locker room because Hunt went out and did something stupid?  

 

Vontae Davis...who had no history with this team, staff, or players...went from being a premiere player in this league to getting utterly scorched every time out on the field, even in preseason.  It was so bad, he almost didn't make the roster and was even a healthy scratch at one point.  Between how he felt about his body and the embarrassment of not being able to play well anymore, he made a decision to quit.  This team went on to rally the very next week where the D came together and we went in and did what everyone said was impossible and beat the Vikings decisively on the road.  That was a huge testament to McD and how he runs his locker room and how the players respond to him.  

 

So sorry, no disrespect but I cant not possibly disagree with you more about this over exaggerated Davis retiring thing.  McD has coached his tail off here and took a defense after that point and let it being the #2 unit in the league DESPITE all the offensive struggles with a rookie QB, 4 starting QBs due to injury, etc.

Boldin also retired.  I think Tomlin infairly gets crap because he has some of the most selfish players in the history of the nfl.  Ryan Clark, Brown’s former teammate, said money made him a monster.  Dude just sucks a person. 

 

And McDermott is a good DC.  He also has put together two of the worst offenses in franchise history.  Hell, he couldn’t even get Jordan Phillips under control against Miami.

No doubt Brown is a monster right now, but I have been critical of Tomlin for years.  Not impressed and I think he is over rated and would struggle to succeed without the insanely talented overall roster he has been blessed with through being employed by an excellent organization.  And again, both past and current players have been critical on how Tomlin handles these situations internally.  He let a lot of things slide, and then goes on to steam roll and become a massive problem like now, he gets to own his role in this and not just blame the players.

 

And again, we greatly disagree on McD still.  Some of you have a hard time separating "building" and "fielding" when it comes to whats on the field.  He didn't build our offense, he inherited a mediocre offense that was led by a QB who was not going to take us much further.  And McD is not the GM, Whaley and Beane are the GM's.  Yes McD is certainly involved like all HC's, but they had to rebuild and it took taking a step back to do so, like all rebuilds do, hence the word "rebuild" which by definition requires something to be taken apart before it can be built again.

 

So to say he put together two of the worst offenses is pretty shallow way of looking at it.  He fielded the team he mostly inherited his first year, they tore a lot of things down and took on dead cap money to get a massive amount of cap room this year, and poised to have $123m in cap space next year (most in the league, but of course that will be affected by all teams FA spending this year) to actually start building up the offense.  

 

To be honest, I really don't understand how you are so negative on the path to this point, you are a good poster so it throws me back you are so upset with this course of action that clearly worked.  They tore down, reset the foundation on both sides of the ball with Allen and Edmunds, and now will start building the structure on top of it with both the budget and draft picks to do so.  These were ALL good things for the future of the Bills and a lot to look forward to moving forward.

Unnecessary tear down.  People killed Whaley for trading up. We traded up for Allen and Jones instead of just taking Mahomes and JuJu. We traded up for Edmunds and two LBs who had better seasons were drafted after him.  They also created a bunch of dead money.  

 

I just feel there are double double standards in evaluating this regime and past Bills’ ones.  I mean that’s what fans do (I used to) but they have a ton to prove.  i hope they do but I’m not sold yet.

It's about how inexplicably bad the offense was. It exceeded our already low expectations. 1st half of the season should have looked like the 2nd. And the reason is really simple.

 

Nothing to do with McDermott's grand team building scheme, but the quarterbacks and failed WRs he came out with. He's apparently learned by reversing the situation to a sort out the offense we should have seen in the 2nd half but a lot of us had alarm bells ringing on how bad things started out. We've already had our argument on Peterman and Kelvin so I'll just leave it at our offense could have been watchable and interesting at the very least with the exact same record and i would be more gung ho on the regime.

 

Neither of us think it will happen again sounds like so s'all in the past. Just hope McDermott is constantly learning and improving

Its fair to not be sold, they are still early in this process, so I get not believing they will successfully get there yet.  

 

HOWEVER:  I think its 100% wrong to say it was an "unnecessary" tear down.  

1. This team was a mediocre roster at best when McD became coach.  
2. Tyrod was not going to get us any further than he already had, and I was one who felt TT was better than most people though around here.  
3. Mahomes was a polarizing prospect, and not even his most staunch supporters expected him to be as good as he was in his first year starting.
4. McD took over a team that finished its previous season as tied for 3rd in total TD's (over the 15 weeks TT started, they sat him the final week) and was 27th in defense in the 15 games outside the Pats fluke shutout week 4 (was an anomaly that skewed season stats as Pats shut out had no Brady, no Jimmy, no Gronk, and Jacoby making his second start with a hurt throwing hand).  Pats would hang over 30 on us a handful of weeks later with Brady back.  
5. Trading down in what was viewed as a risky QB class and picking up extra first round pick and what became an Elite CB was not so bad at the moment it happened.  And lets again keep in mind, even if someone wants to say McD ran the draft, he still made decisions based on the scouting work Whaley and HIS team did, not McD and Beanes current team.
6. Its WAY too early to talk LVE vs Edmunds.  Different systems, different teams...both had good rookie years, but doesn't mean they are the same fit in every team.  Edmunds may very well prove to be the better player, or even the better player for this team and McD.  He isnt even 21 yet and really had a good rookie season that got better over the season. 

 

So I get you are not sold, and thats fair.  But you are also seem intent on twisting everything into a negative until they prove it completely wrong.

Funny you say that and also do not see the irony of it.  So you are saying that McBeane has won the same while TEARING down the team as Whaley won with the team he built. 

 

During the tear down, McBeane has broken the 17 year playoff drought, and has the same record as the Whaley years when they were going all out to win now.  

 

So McBeane is winning the same with a lot less.  You still somehow cant see the positive in that and just said to me it was "unnecessary" tear down.  How is 7-9 and a 17 year drought an "unnecessary" tear down?

Right. A 6th round pick from the MaC definitely could be a diva. Are you serious?  Brown’s teammates say he changed once he got money and fame.  I blame Belichick for Aaron Hernandez by your logic.

Did Brown have money and fame week 1 of his rookie year?  Did Bell?  No.  Did they "change" at some pint later, obviously they did.

 

Look, you said they were divas that were forced onto Tomlin .  This is obviously untrue.
