Kirby Jackson Posted November 11, 2019 Share Posted November 11, 2019 (edited) Going to keep this simple. If AB is cleared by the NFL this week would you be interested in adding him? Obviously the Bills need receiving help. Obviously AB has baggage. Where do you stand? Edit: I held back from voting but eventually caved and voted es. I feel dirty doing it but I guess that I put the Bills before my morals. Edited November 11, 2019 by Kirby Jackson 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I mean maybe it should be merged elsewhere but coming off of yesterday there has been a lot of talk about “playmakers.” He’s an ELITE receiver and no one says differently. If I missed a new AB thread by all mean merge it. If not, yes it absolutely warrants it’s own discussion. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Obviously you don't. Therefore, we should just keep with mid-tier receivers! SMH Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bills6969 Posted November 11, 2019 Share Posted November 11, 2019 F AB! Why should we employ him when he publicly bashed /embarrassed us earlier? Not to mention, he is me first player who would be a huge distraction to this team. Hard pass! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

whatdrought Posted November 11, 2019 Share Posted November 11, 2019 (edited) I personally wouldn’t hate it, but I wouldn’t love it. My gut says no because I think he’s going to f up anywhere he goes, and we’re a young team facing adversity- not a good pairing. if he plays this year, I expect it to be for the other Pennsylvania team.

Mister Defense Posted November 11, 2019 Share Posted November 11, 2019 I voted yes. I was almost shocked when the Bills pursued Brown in the off season. I was happy it did not work out as his character doesn't seem to match the culture the Bills are striving for. But, to me, the Bills are close to a team that could win playoff games and Brown can help make that happen, as the Bills biggest need seems to be a few dynamic offensive play makers. And I assume Brown has been humbled to some degree, or at least understands there won't be many more chances. He would play for this Bills team with Josh Allen as the quarterback.

For me it isn't a moral thing. I truly think he would tear down what's being built up. We have a developing QB. How do you think he's gonna react the first time Josh overthrows him? That wouldn't be good for anybody. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
D. L. Hot-Flamethrower Posted November 11, 2019 Share Posted November 11, 2019 (edited) Good topic. The thought went through my head last night as well. I voted yes, but like you, it goes against what I typically would do. I just feel like we are trying to develop a QB, but have not given him the minimum level of playmakers. I kind of feel like, if we were able to get back to where we were when we pursued him, it might work. Ha he pursued any help? We don't know. I think on the field it would help immensely.

Now, I really don’t know. I said yes but maybe it’s “prisoner of the moment.” I really could go either way on this. 38 minutes ago, BringBackOrton said: I voted yes, but I would be worried after Josh misses him on a deep ball 2-3 times, AB would try to kill him. This is another concern. Can he fracture this locker room? The answer is probably. Is his talent worth the headache? Does he fall in line knowing that this is his last chance? All of those things have to be weighed. It’s tough. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Iverwig Posted November 11, 2019 Share Posted November 11, 2019 1st off this staff would probably be afraid of AB. 2nd I wouldn’t touch AB unless the Bills were arguably had a chance to get to the super bowl. 3rd He does not fit the culture so there is no need to discuss AB. 4th AB needs psychological help so that’s enough not to touch him.

NoHuddleKelly12 Posted November 11, 2019 Share Posted November 11, 2019 (edited) No. He’s a fruitcake of distractions that’s now cycled through 3 teams in the past calendar year who’ve all washed their hands of him for various reasons, despite his talent. What gives anyone who voted yes, any confidence that he would magically assume the mantle of a good soldier, put his head down and just play ball over the course of the entire 2nd half of the season? He would implode over some perceived slight and try to drag the team down with him, just as he has everywhere else. Besides, he’s not the missing link to a championship this year, is he?

I feel dirty doing it but I guess that I put the Bills before my morals. The solution to you feeling dirty with your moral compromising is to thoroughly wash yourself of your unclean temptations. I have attached a link that will help you cleanse yourself from your descent into moral turpitude. https://www.officesupply.com/cleaning-breakroom/cleaning-janitorial-supplies/hand-skin-care/hand-soaps-cleaners/ivory-soap/p60765.html?ref=pla&utm_source=bing&utm_medium=cpc&utm_campaign=PLA&scid=scbplp60765&sc_intid=60765&msclkid=c7f1bbbc48ef19154c21e675d59dec0c This guy is a great football player but a cancerous presence wherever he prances, on and off the field. He is who he is and will not change his menacing, grandiose and narcissistic behavior. I don't expect a pristine standard for player behavior. But I do not want a hardened degenerate on the field as a Bill. Our receiving corps isn't as bad as many are making it out to be. Brown, Beasley and Knox are solid to good receivers. What is needed is better play calling and accuracy from the qb. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IgotBILLStopay Posted November 11, 2019 Share Posted November 11, 2019 Good Poll at this time. Deliberately Ignoring the moral questions - Obviously there is no way we pay him 10 million a year. But at this point, even if the NFL clears him, he aint gonna command that. Second, yes the 2020 draft is WR deep - but that is a season away and we are one John Brown injury away from having major question marks regarding the receiver core. We are likely to need WR help rest of this season. Additionally, we have postseason aspirations. Combined with our comfortable cap situation and AB being likely available for a small sum on a 1 year deal, it is such a no-brainer that we pass on him. I did vote yes - but would not lose sleep if we did not get him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Figster Posted November 11, 2019 Share Posted November 11, 2019 Voted yes because a locker room full of good character players should be enough to silence A B's demons. I also believe after following A B's tweets before his last NFL rant he was warming up to the idea of playing for the Bills. Buffalo soldier leads me to believe Brown is ready to play again. I also think the way McD handles the locker room is a good fit for the troubled soul. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HOF4LOU Posted November 11, 2019 Share Posted November 11, 2019 I don't understand why anyome would say no if he sincerely wanted to join Bills and was cleared to play. Kareem Hunt just got on the field. AB would take us to another level. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
