Didn't have his jersey although I do have a personalized autograph from him on an 8 x 10. Got it when I met him at Station Square his rookie year. It's packed away with the rest of my things right now due to moving from PA to MO. Not sure what I'll do with it once I get my new man cave done and my things unpacked. I can say for sure it's not going on display.
Correct.
To ignore his elite talent is a huge mistake. A WR doesn't catch all those passes for all those yards and all those TD's over that many seasons by accident. He is clearly an elite WR that had a great QB to get him the ball. The results were historically great.
When I was very young, I loved OJ. He’s still one of the greatest RBs to ever play in the NFL. Aaaand... he’s a horrible human being. It is indeed possible to be both.
(Insert AB in the above.)
No he was made by Ben.
Regardless of how minimal the sample size is or was, Brown without Ben he looked invisible with the EXCEPTION of 1 game against KC in 2015 I believe.
Not disagreeing with how they complimented one another because they did.
But facts are facts, and one of the select few of times where numbers make sense.
What happened Holmes when he left? one good season with the Jets annnnndddd... ... ...
Mike Wallace? Got paid so good on him; but he's played for 1/4 of the league now I think
But both those guys became huge because of Ben as did Brown.
Ok SteelersNorth, think whatever you want. This thread is to talk about jerseys, not performance.
Its no secret that WR's cannot throw the football to themselves. Any WR needs a good QB to be able to get him the ball and that is why guys like Holmes and Wallace didn't have the success at the teams they went to. Same with Emannuel Sanders, he had his best 3 seasons in the NFL with the Broncos where he could be the #2WR, with a HOF QB throwing him the football.
As for the jersey, I would change it to a Buddy Dial.
100%
But that was my point. If said receiver doesn't have that QB to get him the ball the rest is mostly irrelevant.
I'm well aware there's other factors for receivers such as the height which can mask a QBs ineffectiveness.
But the fact that Ben made the smaller guys stars should say something to his talent level too
here's hoping #84 gets used quickly like 26 was for Barron this past year
I was thinking of Brown, but purchased Watt instead.
