"He's trying to be the G.O.A.T.," offensive coordinator Todd Haley said. "And he won't settle for anything less."Where did Brown run his mouth saying he will be the Greatest of All Time?"That's exactly my mindset," Brown told ESPN.com when asked about becoming the greatest of all time. "I want to be special. Things are different now. I'm not that sixth-round pick anymore."

And, wait for it, if Antonio drops a deuce on the fools this year, it will because of the supporting cast or because of Ben or because of the weakened defenses or blah, blah, blah.
Antonio Brown, since 2013 is the best WR in the game. Period.
Comparing stats from one era to another is meaningless. Let's see how long Brown can stay at the top or near the top during his career. Then we can have a decent discussion about who was best. Rice had the benefit of some very good QBs. Let's see what the Steelers have after Big Ben. That will determine the outcome of Brown's legacy.
This is about the most ridiculous thread ever. Bottom line is two things that, for me are not open for debate:
1. Jerry Rice is the greatest football player to ever lace them up. Not just WR, but player. He leads every major receiving category by a country mile. No one will ever catch Rice.
2. AB's comments are about the most innocent "smack talk" you will ever hear. T, to you even remember Michael Irvin, Ochocinco, Keyshawn, Terrell Owens, Randy Moss, etc? Those dudes were basically slamming people and touting their egos daily in the media. AB simply said, he has a higher standard to uphold now than "6th round pick fighting for a roster spot" and that he wants to put in the work required to be the best WR of all time. Flipping out on that is just silly.
I will close with a prayer to the Football Gods that they soon bestow upon us real actual meaningful football so we can all put away our psychology textbooks and stop parsing non-sense comments for deep meanings. Besides, any true Steelers fan knows that reading waaaaaaaaayyyyyy to far into statements is a sport best reserved for proving that Mike Tomlin is a terrible coach who has lost control of the locker room and basically does nothing to improve, change, or direct the franchise. Because ping pong. Amen.
Are you kidding me with this? Brown is setting his goals very high, and is showing that he is working hard to try and make it happen. And news flash, Brown working to hard to try and be the greatest ever HELPS THE TEAM WIN!

AB is a one trick ball on the helmet catching pony. What a diva. If he has a 4 catch 49 yard day this season he'll be a bust. He should shaddup. Fire Richard Mann.

for comparison, here's the way NOT to do it ...http://profootballtalk.nbcsports.com...the-best-ever/
If Terrell Davis is in the discussion for the Hall of Fame (which I don't think he should be), than Adrian Peterson is a lock...I think he could've rephrased it and come off better, but I don't really have a major problem with what Peterson said here.
This is the way NOT to do it:
That assclown will never be in the HallThis is the way NOT to do it:
It's just the AB quote. I don't like when you hear too many comments of a team and how great they are. Tomlin fails at managing success. His team is following his lead, which is to start thinking you are so good that all you have to do is show up, and then lose to the worst teams in the league, over and over again.
But that's the thing...he never said he IS the greatest of all time. He didn't even mention it but if you want to read into it, he's striving to be the greatest...which is nothing but a good thing...lol.
Do you read the quotes from other teams and other players across the NFL? If anything the Steelers are at worst average with their comments, and typically are one of the more understated teams in the league.
As for the Tomlin psycho-babble nonsense debate, this board has had it time and time again. I will ask you the same questions I have asked others around here:
What, specifically, would you have Tomlin do different from a roster/player management standpoint, a tactical/scheme approach, and/or an overall strategic decision making standpoint? "Fails at managing success" is some middle manager type throw-away corporate jargon comment that means nothing.
As to what the players are saying to the media, what are the supposed to say - "If we work really hard, you know bring that lunchpail mentality (leaving aside that none of these kids know what the hell a lunchpail is), and play together as a team, I think we can be mediocre. I mean, I don't want to fail at managing any future success we may have as a team, I don't want to get us thinking we are too good, so I think if we play fundamentally sound, stick to our assignments, play physical, Steelers brand of football....we can be 7-9."
This thread...But that's cause he had Joe Montana throwing him the ball.
...just keeps getting better...
...and better...
The perfect summation. Well done.
Actually, on all the sports shows today, not only are they saying he will make it in, they are saying he deserve to get in on his first year of eligibility.
Sorry,but Chad Johnson is not close to be a hall of fame....Actually, on all the sports shows today, not only are they saying he will make it in, they are saying he deserve to get in on his first year of eligibility.
Give me a break, he is not a hall of fame caliber player. He was more talk than anythingActually, on all the sports shows today, not only are they saying he will make it in, they are saying he deserve to get in on his first year of eligibility.
I don't know...I don't see Chad Johnson being Hall of Fame caliber...maybe I'm missing something.
My bad, I thought it was TO. They are both such ass hats that it's easy to get them confused.
If his last few seasons weren't such a joke, he's have a shot.
But he has virtually no play off production, not to mention, never won anything.
I don't think he will make it.
