How upset will he be seeing James White catching 8 a game I think people forget that AB has literally cried on the field when his season has ended because he knew he wasn't get a ring. He's very much about winning. He'll behave if he thinks a Super Bowl is a possibility. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He'll be tested early here - first test; 84 already belongs to someone....lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dude ha/had the potential to take a shot at JR for the greatest WR/football player of all time, but he wasn't gonna get there with Ben falling off or the steelers consistently missing the playoffs, and the Raiders were even worse. If he goes to NE and puts up another couple peak AB seasons and wins a SB he nobody will remember this offseason. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bucsfan333 Posted September 8, 2019 Share Posted September 8, 2019 15 games. 110 receptions. 1,300 yards. 9 TDs. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
childofpudding Posted September 10, 2019 Share Posted September 10, 2019 (edited) 80 catches, 1100 yards, 10 TDs AB would take most of the targets that would otherwise go to Dorsett and Thomas. The Patriots blowing out the Steelers in Week 1 may be one of the best things that could have happened in terms of determining whether AB lasts in NE.

PatriotsWin! Posted September 10, 2019 Share Posted September 10, 2019 Going to be tough to get 1000 yards when he's new to the system and competing with Edelman, Gordon, Dorsett, Watson, and White/burkhead for targets. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MWil23 Posted September 10, 2019 Share Posted September 10, 2019 I'm still holding out hope that Hash Gordon, Edelman, and AB all find a way to mix their favorite poisons and convince TB12 to make a bad decision with them...hopefully right around the middle of the season...TB12 is finally going to snap after not having a strawberry in 10 years and Gordon will convince TB12 that Purple Drink will fill that void, while Edelman mixes in one of his magic supplements and AB is the devil on his shoulder saying "You deserve this. Treat yourself!" 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ronjon1990 Posted September 10, 2019 Share Posted September 10, 2019 77 catches, 850 yds, 6 tds. If he went to New England in hopes of padding stats, he made a huge mistake. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bolts223 Posted September 10, 2019 Share Posted September 10, 2019 He's not going to put up monster stats because the Patriots have a ton of different mouths to feed on that offense. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Third Rider Posted September 10, 2019 Share Posted September 10, 2019 He is taking a discount because he is not going to hit those incentives. He is probably thinking, fame + a ring and after the super bowl he cashes in a massive contract from a foolish team. After all they overpay super bowl winners.

jetjuice Posted September 10, 2019 Share Posted September 10, 2019 He's going to tear it up with them. Sure the Pats may have other options, but none of them are on Antonio Brown's talent level, and let's not act like he didn't get his fair share of touches while sharing the ball with the rest of Pittsburgh's weapons (JuJu, Bell, etc) also. The Pats are not going to be this ball control run the clock offense like everyone thinks they are. That's what everyone said when they had no AB, Gordon, etc. They are going to be one of the most well-balanced, unpredictable offenses in the league and everyone is going to eat. And AB fits the offense like a glove and is getting a QB upgrade. If anything, I see other guys like White and Gordon losing some of the target share to accommodate AB, not vice versa. I'd be surprised if there's any statistical drop-off at all. It's a nightmare scenario for a Jets fan and I'm not looking forward to it one bit.
