So often on here people play the “he’s not a process guy” card. The Bills had a trade worked out for Antonio Brown!! He’s one of the worst people in the league. The Bills aren’t only looking at choir boys. They are looking at people that they think will put them over the top. Yes that would seem obvious, but many denied that was even a consideration at the time. 48 minutes ago, Warcodered said: What's really striking is the difference between how AB looked back then and now. Then it wasn't that terrible a proposition for him to be coming here. He was a great player that seemed to have some personality issues but it was still debated who was more at fault for the situation with the Steelers. Since then he's jumped from the high dive into the waters of batshit crazy. I agree, but that was not the prevailing consensus here at the time.

The Bills aren’t only looking at choir boys. They are looking at people that they think will put them over the top. He didn't agree to play under a contract friendly to the Bills, meaning no/little new/guaranteed money. I don't blame him since that's all he was looking for (as evidenced by the fact that he agreed to play for the Raiders). But it was smart and not anti-Process to inquire since a team-friendly contract means he's more likely to behave or be gone with little consequence.

The Senator Posted March 7, 2020 Share Posted March 7, 2020 There never was an AB era in Buffalo. AB is a non-entity. He'll never play in the NFL again, nor ever be in the HOF. And thank God for that. After he swallows his pride and apologizes to Vince, I wish him well earning the minimum in the XFL, and hope he can unload his bizarre-colored Rolls for a little change - maybe half what he paid for it. Toyota makes a fine car, and townhouse living can be nice. Stupid clown. . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I enjoyed all the national media figures who trashed Roethlisberger publicly apologize to him once it was clear AB had some obvious mental issues.

Then i read his scouting report coming up and it basically read - DIVA. They also said speed wasnt there to be a fulltime starter, and he was too small etc. But they got the Diva part right.
