Antonio Brown Tells Raiders without his helmet no football

Are you putting words in my mouth?

 

How many times have you heard of a trade being FINALIZED in the NFL only to have it fall apart?

 

They traded for him. You have zero evidence that they didn't. Everyone except delusional Bills fans agrees it was a done deal until AB said no.

 

When you say "it wouldn't have been reported", you are saying that they would never report anything false.  That's exactly what that means.

Neither one of us know the real story of what really happened except for the parties involved in the trade.  Everything is speculation.

Your speculation isn't concrete evidence.

Yes, there seems to be as some revisionist history here.  If Brown wanted to come here, he’d be here pulling his crap.  As someone who never wanted him in the first place and thought it showed how BS “culture” truly is (check the Antonio Brown to Buffalo thread ?),  Beane got truly lucky.  But some here will tout him as genius for not meeting Brown’s demands.  

 

For as talented as he is, he is a team killer.  If he couldn’t happy in Pittsburgh, he is going to struggle being happy anywhere.  But thank god he didn’t want to come here. Beane is a genius. 

 

Which one is it?  I commend him for trying to get the best WR in football when WR was our biggest need. He may have gotten lucky, we will see if AB misses a significant portion of the regular season. At this point I'd still bet he shows up week 1 or sooner.

Good. You're delusional and taking what you want to hear from Beane's statement.

There are people who praised Beane because he read the draft right and “knew” Oliver would be there at 9.

 

honestly, sometimes it’s better to be lucky than good.  But to pretend like Beane didn’t want AB to be on the Bills is kinda nuts.

You believe the guy who didn’t want to come here over the GM who had his trade blow up in his face and have Buffalo get embarrassed publicly?  

???

 

Did I say that?   I said I believe Beane over AB.  

 

Public embarrassment???  LOL  we hear the same crap No one wants to to go Buffalo

I was being sarcastic.  We definitely need a receiver upgrade but AB is straight loco.  I even joke when Pittsburgh was going to trade him that they would see him to Buffalo as punishment and they did just that and AB refused.

Beane defends Buffalo after Brown report

GM Brandon Beane defended the city of Buffalo after the report that Antonio Brown didn't want to play there and he may miss out on something special in the future

Here’s Beane’ full statement, via the team’s Twitter account.

“We inquired about Antonio Brown on Tuesday, and kept talks open with the Steelers. We had positive discussions, but ultimately it didn’t make sense for either side. As great as a player as Antonio Brown is, we have moved on and our focus is on free agency.”

https://billswire.usatoday.com/2019/03/08/buffalo-bills-brandon-beane-antonio-brown-moved-on/

 

Not sure that this proves anything different than what I said? The Bills wanted AB. They tried to swing a deal and it didn’t work out. Brown isn’t in Oakland because the Bills didn’t want him. The Bills may be real lucky that a deal didn’t come to fruition but your original claim @ShadyBillsFan that the Bills had “zero contact to bring him to our beloved team” isn’t true.

One reasonable assessment of the situation is that Beane was intrigued by the possibility of AB on the Bills and made further inquiry -- as would any competent GM.  Once it became apparent that the tradeoff between trade compensation and AB's contract demands did not fit, Beane stepped away.

 

Another assessment is that Beane wanted AB badly but AB told Rosenhaus "anybody but Buffalo" and that's where it ended.

 

In either case, I don't think anyone could have predicted or foreseen the frostbite/trench foot/helmet saga that has ensued.  And for that, I think Beane is breathing a huge sigh of relief.

I didn't provide any conspiracy now did I?  Did I give you any theory on what I think actually happened?  All I said is that none of us know except the parties involved...that's it.

Somehow you think that's a conspiracy when not all NFL rumors/speculation is 100% the truth?  LOL

Why would they report that as a done deal though? That is what some people are still claiming happened.

Kirby,

 

I never said that the Bills didn't want AB.  Of course they did, Beane publicly came out that they inquired about him and had good conversations.  What we don't know 100% is that if the deal was finalized.  It might have, it might not have been.  It's all speculation.

Who’s angry broseph?  I had a great weekend and hope you did too.  I’m just not delusional.  We wanted that crazy person and got completely lucky he didn’t want us.  It’s like that crazy hot girl you would give anything to date.  You try everything to date here and she just laughs at you and says no.  Then she ends up dating your friend and you are super depressed and getting laughed at by everyone.  Then she burns down your friends house and keys his car.  Then you are like, wow, I’m so glad I didn’t try and date that crazy girl!!!

Oh I know, I was just using your Beane quote.

No I'm just putting words in your mouth like you're doing to me. If they reported the deal as agreed upon bu BUF and PIT,  but it wasn't, then they must have had a reason to lie. What do you think is that reason?

It’s preseason.  He is the most interesting story in the nfl.  

 

The sad sad part is that crazy man will still end up with good numbers.

Your exact words were "they wouldn't have reported it if it wasn't a done deal".  That means 100%, there is no way that it's inaccurate.

Those are your words.

i'm sure he'll still be productive, but what he's doing in very, very wrong.  when a team commits that amount of resources towards you, they expect more than just good numbers. brown is letting down his team, teammates and fans.  it's getting to the point where he'd have to put up record type numbers to make this worth it.  missing all of camp with a new team seems like that would be a tall order.

I agree with you a million percent (though maybe as some suggested he’s just trying to get out of camp.  Training camp sucks for vets).  I never wanted him and that’s why it is crazy these guys who preach culture tried to get him in the first place.  

 

I still think they need a true 1 and are doing Allen a disservice.  But I guess we have to see this season play out. ✌️

i completely get trying to get out of camp.  i think that tends to be "reserved" for the older veterans that on the brink of retirement, but i get it.  the approach to it is what i don't get.  he probably could have milked the foot excuse to do it.  not that that's a good scenario, but i think the team and fans would be more understanding. 

 

i don't mind that our staff went after him at all.  it's beane's job to improve the roster any way he can.  he inquired, it didn't work out, and we lucked out.  i don't think it should be looked at the bills are violating their culture attitude.  you look at every opportunity that comes up.  that goes for all businesses.  i would have been excited to have him here if it worked out, and i would have been very wrong.

Fair points but it was pretty obviously he was a disaster in Pittsburgh.  Ryan Clark has been talking about how awful of a teammate he was for years.

Why do you say that? don't you think it's possible he plays week 1 and has a good year? John Brown has 1 catch in preseason, it doesn't matter.

We just need a villian on the current team to argue about. It’s been too long since Mr Big Puff, Lil Job Sammy,etc. Next man up! People try to lob Shady out there as the one to step up but it’s not catching on. This Process ***** is ruining our fun. Even Zay stopped taking spice.

Yes, why would they report it if it wasn't agreed upon by PIT and BUF. You tell me.

 

Because maybe the information they got was wrong?  Has that crossed your mind?

You don’t think it’s possible that they could be wrong.  You just have proven that I didn’t put words in your mouth because you again are saying “why would they report if it wasn’t agreed upon”.....meaning there’s no way that report was inaccurate.  Please tell me this isn’t too hard for you to understand.

 

You don’t remember when John Clayton said Bryant Johnson to Buffalo was a done deal?

Did Johnson play for Buffalo?

It's more likely that they weren't wrong. Why is that so hard for YOU to understand?

there's more than just production.  it can certainly turn around, but what brown is doing is dangerous to that team.
