RaidersAreOne Posted September 5, 2019 Share Posted September 5, 2019 I can not fathom how this guy was one of the biggest and loved stars in all of football a year ago, to now being the most hated and comical. The helmet issues, the feet problems, contract demands, calling out former players, leaking private documents, the list goes on and on. Has the NFL ever seen a bigger meltdown and fall from fame as Antonio Brown? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hunter2_1 Posted September 5, 2019 Share Posted September 5, 2019 Interesting to hear Tomlin say "you have no idea how much we covered up" The guy is a cancer, and IMO, yes the worst series of meltdowns we've seen so far. Especially considering the talent he has - seems intent on throwing it away. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pool Posted September 5, 2019 Share Posted September 5, 2019 (edited) He gives cancer cancer. What a ridiculous display of buffoonery. Edited September 5, 2019 by Pool 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ET80 Posted September 5, 2019 Share Posted September 5, 2019 It's to the point where I think he's got some mental issues that need to be addressed. It's not just CTE. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kiltman Posted September 5, 2019 Share Posted September 5, 2019 From what I vaguely remember, it has some of the Ricky Williams retiring feel. But with 100x the weird stuff and dickish behavior Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stl4life07 Posted September 5, 2019 Share Posted September 5, 2019 I have no idea whats wrong the AB. He was bad in Pittsburgh but not like this so far in Oakland. Between kicking and screaming about a helmet and trying to fight the GM like he has really lost it. If Im the Raiders Id just cut bait with the guy. If they really want to be taken seriously about establishing a good culture then admit they made a mistake by bringing him on, cut him, take the lose then go out and draft WR Judy in the 2020 NFL Draft and go from there.

If so, Pittsburgh is a much better-ran organization than I thought, because this is BAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAD. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TecmoSuperJoe Posted September 5, 2019 Share Posted September 5, 2019 I think so yes. Other than Brown, I think of Owens or Haynesworth. Maybe Moss to a degree. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Forge Posted September 5, 2019 Share Posted September 5, 2019 The thing that is incredible is that I don't even know that he's open to other people trying to give him advice or anything at this point either. He seems like the type that needs "yes men" around him. There's no way that anyone in his inner circle should be telling him that this is the way to go. He seriously may cost himself 30 million dollars. He's not getting that back. it's gone. If anyone take a chance on him (and I'm not sure that they will), it's going to be a one year deal for like 1 million or something. He's a 31 year old receiver now having to play on a prove it deal, burning through one of the few remaining years of his prime that he has, and then even if he manages to play through that without incident, nobody is giving him a big deal the following year. Just too much risk involved at this point. Given the lack of offers and suppressed trade value he had, its safe to say that there won't be a whole ton of interest. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
El Ramster Posted September 5, 2019 Share Posted September 5, 2019 Think the guy from Sf then to Mia was a bit worse or nah? Idk. Realistically TO was much worse during his time in Sf, Bal very short and had some wild things to say about them, Philly and then Dallas.. To was much worse imo. He split teams up.

But with 100x the weird stuff and dickish behavior Williams was somebody who just didn't like the limelight and was dealing with severe anxiety issues. Football was a means to an end for him, there were 10,000 things he'd rather do, but nothing that would pay him the way football would. I have to think outside of football to find a reasonable comparison for AB. Metta World Peace, perhaps? Dennis Rodman, maybe? 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
