Oh goodie....Florio.
Florio has been pretty high on the Steelers this offseason and sees them winning the division. I am forced to agree with him this time.
The Raiders don't know AB the way we do. He's acting like he's running for mayor and trying to make new friends. It means Jack. When he's not getting the football enough, or Carr is struggling, or the team is 3-6 I know which AB they Raiders will see.
On Florio himself, I'm okay with what he says from an operational and financial standpoint about NFL teams and decisions made around them. But have no illusions, this well spoke West Virginia lawyer grew up a Minnesota Vikings fan. Super Bowl IX 16-6 score is still in his mind, and I think he still relishes sticking it to the Steelers when the facts of the situation suit him. Not saying he's wrong when he does it, just saying he seems to enjoy it too much.
For a national football guy, I think he's decent, more so on radio than on television.
AB was always the hardest working guy in the room. He worked his way from 6th round pick to top WR in the NFL over multiple seasons, I don't see him as the pariah many make him out to be. He is going to try and lead by example with the Raiders, but will likely find out the QB situation isn't as talented as it was in PIT, but he likely wont be called out in the media by his QB in Oakland, when the QB makes a mistake.
No, but he is quite likely to completely flip his shit and return to sideline Gatorade bucket tossing when his numbers precipitously decline and his new QB one-hops too many passes in the dirt to him.
But yeah, it was obviously all Roethlisberger's fault he basically went off the deep end. Poor little AB - I'll bet Heath Miller telling him to STFU and stop whining about his touches a few seasons back probably scarred him for life as well.
I don’t think anyone is scared. There are just better things to do, than read the same non-interesting, bashing someone posts, by the same people.
That's a bold statement. Did AB work harder than Watt, Heyward, or Big Al? We have a lot of hard working types on the team. No doubt Brown worked hard on his game, but he also was a distraction for more than one season.
Ben makes his receivers, not the other way around. Welcome to a losing team with an average quarterback Mr. Big Chest.
I am sick and tired of hearing that nobody is working harder than AB.
Yes AB works very hard, but he is not the only one!
“How many No. 1 receivers in the NFL are catching punts in practice and running it all way back for a touchdown?” Steelers quarterbackBen Roethlisbergersays. “Then Dri [Archer] steps up and [Brown] tells him to get out because he wants another one. His work ethic and demeanor and attitude are just unbelievable. He’s literally nonstop and I’ll grab him and pull him aside and make up a fake conversation just to keep him out of running so many (punts) back and wearing himself down. His work ethic and attitude are just unbelievable.”https://www.espn.com/blog/pittsburgh-steelers/post/_/id/10597/antonio-browns-work-ethic-sets-him-apart
This is just classic. Go pull up any thread from the last 4-5 years and see how AB was talked about compared to now. My personal favorite is all the comments about just getting the ball to AB so he can make plays and now it's all about how that was bad.
Since when does anyone say that Brown is not the only one worked hard is negative?
Your reaction is as if I said that Brown was not working hard

My point for the post number 16 is that players like J.J Watt in Houston are working hard too, same for other players, but we do not hear that every week!
I don’t see how this is weird or inconsistent. AB was well on his way to being the greatest receiver of all time. His work ethic was equal to none. That’s what we saw. That’s what we all knew. We weren’t wrong. We loved him, and rightly so.
Then either he changed or we all just learned knew things about him that we had no way of knowing before. Turns out the guy is crazy and selfish and everything else that has revealed itself recently.
There’s been no irrational flip flopping from commenters. Everything we said then was true, and based on new information, everything we’re saying now is true.
There’s no gotcha to be had about commenters adapting their thoughts based on what we know when we know it.
Remember when Patriots fans liked Aaron Hernandez? Yeah. So?
