Either that or he has mental issues or has taken too many shots to the head. That's possible. But for all we know, he may have been a total dbag long before he ever became rich and famous.

buno67 Posted August 10, 2019 Share Posted August 10, 2019 feel like he should have been grandfather in with his helmet. In his entire career, he has had only one concussion, so that helmet works for him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He'll definitely be catching touchdowns, but when the Raiders lose and don't make the playoffs this will start all over again. It's a shame he acts like this because he's a sure fire HoF'er. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RandyMossIsBoss Posted August 10, 2019 Share Posted August 10, 2019 (edited) Sad. Dude could have had an all time great career*. Doubtful he would have surpassed Rice in anyone's eyes, but absolutely could have gotten into the discussion. Early, but so far, it looks like it will be a messy end to his career. *I understand he's already a HOFer, which pretty much signifies an all time great career... So I let's say he could have had a truly special career even compaed to fellow HOFers. Edited August 10, 2019 by RandyMossIsBoss Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thats like saying guys who work in buildings shouldn’t be required to wear fall protection because they have not fallen yet. Brown is an employee. His employer requires certain safety precautions, for his own good, due to past lawsuits. He accordingly needs to follow the proper procedures. 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He might get the Terrell Owens treatment and miss out for a few years, but he'll get in eventually. He's too great not to be in. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Brown kinda slurs his words a bit, has the mentality of a 12 year old, and didn’t use to be like this. A lot of people point to the Burfict hit as to when the massive change started happening. I think it really affected his brain and his mentality reverted to a twelve year old child. He still has his skills and ability, but Burfict knocked the maturity right out of his brain which is what makes the fact he wants to wear a sub par helmet the most ironic thing I have ever seen. I mean, seriously. NFLPA needs to get some former player with CTE to go 'scare him straight' lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

These are adults, he should be allowed to wear the helmet that works for him. Honestly can't think of a reason to forbid it, except just asserting authority for authority's sake.

Brown can wear the same model of the helmet. Just a newer version of it. The helmet that AB wants to use is 10 plus years old, and doesn't comply with the safety standards that the NFL wants. Brown is the only person in the NFL that seems to be making a big deal out of this. There are many other helmet types he can use. Don't see why he can't find a replacement in 4 weeks.

The main reason to forbid it is to save the player from his own stupidity. What are the downsides of wearing a newer helmet, with better technology, giving him better protection from head injuries? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I finally saw that the kind of helmet he wears is discontinued. So they cant properly renovate and properly re-certify it. That’s the reason his helmet isn’t allowed.
