showtime Posted March 12, 2019 Share Posted March 12, 2019 I saw a report just now that said the Raiders are closing in on a deal with Bell. Damn if that's true that's going to be legit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TecmoSuperJoe Posted March 12, 2019 Share Posted March 12, 2019 I'm wondering after all the hoops, if Brown continues to produce at a high level, will this entire saga regarding the Steelers mess with his HOF chances down the road? Obviously, way too early to tell, but even now if he retired his numbers are very impressive. Still, with how controversial the HOF voting process is, I get the feeling that even with continued dominance, the recent events will hurt his legacy somewhat. I'm guessing he won't even go into the Steelers Hall of Honor. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's bad business. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BlaqOptic Posted March 15, 2019 Share Posted March 15, 2019 He's already gotten rid of the Hogan mustache and blue plaits... He played the hell out of the Steelers. I don't think this started about money - I believe him having issues with Ben - but I think he actually outsmarted everyone and figured he could turn the situation into one about money (and even tweeted as much) and ultimately did. He basically did what Le'Veon Bell wanted to do but did it in the span of 2 months whereas Bell had a concocted plan for a whole year that didn't exactly work out.

Steelers fans came to Ben's defense - and Steelers Depot has even put together a piece about every time he took the blame for a loss during his career - but the reality is Ben was the one who was off in the WiFi duo, not AB. Frustrating that an All-Time Great Duo got seperated because one or both of them had egos. I won't be cheering for AB anymore but I do still want him to become an all-time great so I hope ABDC works out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm guessing he won't even go into the Steelers Hall of Honor. The narrative on Brown - whether wrong or right - has been written. Guys like Pete King now consider him a TO/Ocho-level cancer. As a result, he will have to have an amazing back half of his career (I'm talking coming close to Rice) to be a first ballot guy. The same guys who took him off their AP ballots this year will be HOF voters. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
