Note to fans of Antonio Brown

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.

      Just another 1st round QB that never paid off for the team that drafted them or traded for them. It's been like this since the SB began. 36 QBs have now won the SB & only 13 of them have been 1st rounders winning with their original team. Namath 1968, Griese 1972, Bradshaw 1974, McMahon 1985, Simms 1986, Aikman 1992, Elway 1997, Roethlisberger 2005, P.Manning 2006, E.Manning 2007, Rodgers 2010, Flacco 2012, & Mahomes 2019. Only 3 have taken longer than 5 seasons as the starter to win a SB.  4  6  5  4  6  4  15  2  9  4  3  5  2 [the years it takes for these 1st round QBs] 5  1  4  1  3  1  1  2  3  4  [10 of the 36 have won a chip with their 1st team that haven't been drafted in the 1st round. These are the years it took them as a starter] What stands out? Only 2 of these QBs have lost their first championship appearance. Elway took 4 years as a 1st rounder & Hurts took 2 years as a 2nd rounder. Of the 10 non-1st round QBs, 2 are 2nd rounders, 3 are 3rd rounders, 5 are 6th rounders or later. Please stop wasting time on drafting 1st round QBs with such a high failure rate. The remaining 13 QBs are traded or free agent signings. Stafford, Favre, Young, Williams and Dawson are the 5 trades. Peyton Manning & Tom Brady also won for teams as free agents on a short stay as well as being drafted. The lesson here is don't waste your franchise on farming up 1st rounders for the league, and steer clear of trading for a franchise QB. Stick to finding that championship QB by drafting them outside of the 1st round or through free agency.

      I wake up this morning full of rage towards Ronald McDonald Rivera / Gettleman / Hurney

      I lost most of the respect I had for Fox in 2010. He should have resigned if he hated the job that much. Instead he stuck for his paycheck and let stuff go to hell.    I burned out on Ron too but my deal breaker issue with him was away from football and after he was gone from the Panthers. He may have been out of his depth but never quit on us.

      From where they were one year ago to now, pretty incredible. I mean, say what you want about Vrabel he is no Jerrod Mayo.
