Hardest workers on their craft. Why not? People forget Jerry Rice was salty and causing drama over TO becoming the #1 target before he left.

LETSGOBROWNIES Posted March 10, 2019 Share Posted March 10, 2019 Until it’s thread I had no idea Antonio Brown was held in such high regard by Raiders fans. If I didn’t know better I’d think it was coincidental. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And how is AB a diva? People keep reducing him to that. By all accounts his work ethic is insane and he doesn’t take plays off. All he does is ball. Why can’t players be vocal and express themselves without being reduced to something negative? AB did what he had to do to escape a clearly toxic situation. How is he a diva? All his teammates and coaches have said he doesn't show up/take meetings seriously. How far do you think it would have had to have gone to have the team bench him for a must win game? He did a social media live stream of his coach's speech after a playoff game. That was the stupidest, most me-first, attention-driven thing I've ever seen a player do. Nothing TO or anyone else did was as much of a diva move as that. And Oakland is in fact rewarding him with extra money just for being insufferable enough to the team that signed him.

He skipped a team meeting in the middle of the season too without contacting the team. Then he had the trade me tweet before all the drama went down in response to a reporter saying Brown needs Ben more than the other way around. If something the media says makes you ask for a trade you have issues. I'm glad the Steelers didn't get more for him and I suspect the AB drama isn't going to stop so I'll just see how it plays out but I'm guessing no one is going to be extremely happy once it all plays out. Well, besides Drew Rosenhaus. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He probably said it because I said Derek Carr isn't good and the Raiders aren't good, so trading for an elite WR who is about to be 31 years of age probably doesn't matter. I didn't take offense; the Seahawks should have ran the ball. =) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was one of the few Rams fans not attacking Aaron Donald for his holdouts, even when it resulted in him missing the first game of the year.

If I didn’t know better I’d think it was coincidental. I’ve always claimed he’s going down as #2 to Rice all time and my post history will back that up. I also think this forum has been in universal agreement he is the WR in football for the past several several seasons. Of course, when he’s part of your franchise now, you’re a little more out spoken. Especially when everyone is trying to rip him to shreds. Rip on his character I have no problem with. But he is by far the best WR in football with a work ethic that is unmatched by any WR in this league, character concern or not. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They have the draft capital and hopefully they use it well. And yes Cooper needed to leave. That worked out for everyone involved. What hard to understand? It had Absolutely nothing to do with them wanting to keep Mack the player. Nothing! With the CBA as its currently constructed, The Raiders did not have 90M to put into Escrow. It's as simple as that. Without that 80-90M available , he simply couldn't be resigned to a contract he wanted given the lack of funds with the move Vegas. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
