So what prompted Steelers receiver Antonio Brown to go AWOL, only days after having his best game of the season? Some are pointing to the internal vote that resulted in not Brown but receiver JuJu Smith-Schuster being named the team’s MVP for 2018.

The team announced that Smith-Schuster won the award on Thursday. Not Brown, who was in the discussion for NFL MVP in 2017 — and who won his franchise-record fourth team MVP award last year.

 

Quote

“He was unreal in New Orleans, we still lost, and the vote comes out and it’s JuJu,” the unnamed source told Breer. “So [Brown] shows up for work, he’s not voted MVP, he’s in a bad way, and that carried over into the walkthrough.”

Jeremy Fowler of ESPN.com reports that Brown wanted to see whether the Steelers would thrive without him, and whether Smith-Schuster would perform at a high level without Brown on the field to draw attention away from the second-year player.

Team MVP snub may have led to Brown's ire

Whoa... are we really boycotting and turning our nose up at Antonio Brown now? Are we so much better off without the best wr in the game that we can say no? Brown would instantly have a career second and rivaling panther all time great Steve Smith.

We just lost the last what 7-8 games of the seaso. And are picking at 16 and can say Antoine brown is a diva do not want? I don’t care if he was a A hole most great WRs(Smith was 2) are. He missed very few games due to injury and was borderline unstoppable reguardless of who was covering him. 

Again I think this whole he isn’t a nice guy approach is why we are a lower tier team consistently. Anyone that looks or has a stitch of stink on them we hard pass on. Any jenoris Jenkins, honey badger, larmey tunsil(turned out to be false) we stay far away from. Playing it safe.

i say you don’t win a violent game like football with Choir boys. Everyone has crazy people on their team and you need and would glad to have a few on your side. I give a hard yes to brown who is mildly problematic no real trouble with the law.

Antonio Brown has been low-key selfish for a long time. It’s finally coming to the surface. 

Carolina would be wise to steer clear of this mess.

  It hasn’t even low-key to any Steelers fan for about 5 years. But you’re correct most in the general public didn’t acknowledge it much. Ben is the same way. So was Bell. And Tomlin has let it go on to the point of no return. 

  I hope the Steelers trade him and don’t want him anywhere close to CAR.

Ummm...yeah. I would say exactly that.

If the Steelers trade him, they keep all his guaranteed money, he would be affordable from a cap standpoint. I doubt we would want to trade enough for the Steelers to agree to terms.

It's not the money.

Okay, it's not ALL about the money. Brown is 31 years-old. How long he plays at a high level is anyone's guess, but I would expect his behavior is not going to improve. In the meantime, the team trading for Brown gets a nice big salary cap hit.

I don't care if the coach is Rivera or someone else, I would rather they spend their time worrying about the entire roster than having to babysit one player on the team. Character DOES mean something.

Additionally, I would be more than willing to bet that Moore or Samuel or both are better and cheaper than Brown inside of three years, and I think I'm being generous with the three years.

      If you could add one player from any team in the NFL to the 2025 Panthers to make them Super Bowl contenders, who would it be?

      Neither Barkley nor even a healthy CMC would move the needle much for us. Those are guys that impact teams that already have impressive overall offenses and defenses, so they can perform the complimentary roles that make them actually valuable. We should know that specifically because CMC almost never moved the needle on bad Panthers team after bad Panthers team. Ask Giants fans about that with Saquon.

      I would generally disagree. You see a lot more load management than previously but that is because being healthy in the playoffs is such a key factor. Different philosophies in that regard than previous generations.  Baseball really doesn't matter until at least halfway through the season. I am not gonna say they don't play hard but the physical demands are infinitesimal in the MLB in comparison to basically any other major pro sport.  People dislike all the shooting these days but that's a direct correlation with how much the overall skill level of the average NBA player has drastically risen over the past 15ish years. There are other aggravating factors, certainly, but that is the biggest one in terms of playing style differences. So many of the guys from the 80's and 90's wouldn't even be able to play in the modern NBA at all. The biggest problem the NBA has with the American market(they are the only US sport that has any real international appeal or interest, minus the NHL) is that they are so steadily corrupt and fix the systems against the small market teams. Well, you eventually lose a big chunk of the league viewership/potential viewership in the process. Take the very obviously fixed NBA draft lotteries. Superstar and upper tier star players rarely want to play for small market teams, nor can they usually afford to pay them. So how do you expect them to possibly compete in that environment?
