Nextmanup Posted March 8, 2019 Share Posted March 8, 2019 NFL Network is running a piece about this story right now; think this is the first new content they have shown since this thing broke last night. Rapoport was just on; didn't back off the story at all; all signs pointing to AB being a Bill when the season starts. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I guess NFL Network is going all in on this trying to back their guy. Again, I hope this doesn't happen. It would be the dumbest move of this FO by far. i agree...i just think it would be a bad investment. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They're all being manipulated by agents, teams for their own gain, and subject to their own bias. I suppose all media is like this to an extent, I guess I just don't care because in the grand scheme of things it's just entertainment. When it happens in sport only a clown like Jeremy White gets worked up over it. These guys get stuff wrong all the time. They'll just say talks broke down and move on.

That report by Schefter IMO was Schefter speaking for AB and his agent, trying to get money. This is going to happen, but it's going to be a lot of money.

It's not a team building move, it's a way to spend stupid money and get fans excited. That's what Buffalo does every few years. yep ...a russ brandon type of move....

Turk71 Posted March 8, 2019 Share Posted March 8, 2019 8 minutes ago, GunnerBill said: Analytics can only grade the players on what the players are asked to do. Smith-Schuster was not asked to run the variety of routes that AB was. Smith-Schuster is a very good player but he isn't AB. Smith-Schuster graded slightly better on PFF but his degree of difficulty was way below AB. AB is the best receiver in the National Football League - he can run every route, he has terrific hands, he can beat press, he is precise enough to beat zone. He had more than double Smith-Schuster's touchdowns - not least because when the field compresses in the redzone you need someone who can do much more route wise. He is brilliant. Now he is 30 years of age and a total diva, no doubt.... so there are reasons to be wary about the Bills trading for him if it is at a high cost.... but his play on the field is simply beyond question. Good summation of the situation, but he is a problem until proven otherwise. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think they probably were shocked by the trade and then demanded franchise QB money. AB's agents probably told Schefter no deal yet because they want the contract 1st.

DCbillsfan Posted March 8, 2019 Share Posted March 8, 2019 They interviewed a female reporter who covers the Steelers alot -Aditi forget her last name. She said she received a lot of calls from NFL teams. She said she the same response for all teams. She said Antonio Brown is by far the hardest working player she has ever been around. He will help young players on both sides of the ball. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've heard him interviewed a few times, he seems to love the job but it does seem exhausting to an extent. Then again he's just networking and communicating, many people are working far harder jobs for much less pay. Either way I'll agree, they probably don't sleep well.

GunnerBill Posted March 8, 2019 Share Posted March 8, 2019 I'll say this I believe Ian Rapoport is a good journalist. I don't think he would go out on a limb based on what one dodgy source has told him. If he is still saying "all signs pointing to Brown being a Bill" he has got more than one source telling him that OR his one source is very much "horse's mouth". That doesn't mean it will happen.... as a former journalist I know the perils of fast changing situations. But at the point Rapoport broke the story it was based on more than rumour and summation. He just isn't that kind of reporter. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
