While Breer is right, some of that stuff may have been there already, I feel a lot of that behavior wasn't.  I've read anecdotal things from people who lived in Pittsburgh and knew/interacted with AB, and they said there was a clear shift in his demeanor and person after the Burfict hit.  I dont know what he was like before it, but I know from the interviews I've seen and just general interactions since, he definitely appears to be mentally ill.  Like talking to someone and you know they're aren't processing what you're saying.  He seems obtuse and tbh, like when you'd see his interactions on hard knocks, regardless of editing, the conversations were almost painful.  

Not to excuse him of responsibility for his own actions, but he just does not seem well at all.  I also have seen some national pundits parallel the shift in AB's behavior to that of Vincent Jackson's, and VJ was universally loved throughout his life, but his behavior took an erratic and sharp turn after he retired relatively young.

Truth is AB's behavior has been so bizarre (I want to say lately here but it's been so long that it's not really "lately" any longer) that I don't believe he's healthy in his head at all.  I don't have a high enough opinion of my non-existant medical skills to say what caused it, or even if I'm really right because we don't really KNOW these guys, but it feels like it would be sily to discount what (from an outsider's perspective) looks like a drastic shift in behavior after he got his head nearly taken off by that dirty SOB Burfict.  Maybe that hit didn't do it, we'll never really know.  Maybe he's always been barely holding it together and he got scrambled just bad enough to put him over the proverbial edge.

Whatever the case I think he very clearly needs help and I hope he gets it.  He'll face consequences for his actions whether he does or not, and I don't believe the man should be given a pass here, but I also really don't want to read about some tragic end for AB in a few years.

I believe his NFL career is officially over.

No reason to risk your playoff life on s guy that may quit mid-game.

We all thought this years ago... There are teams out there that will do anything to win, including betting on Brown behaving just well enough and contributing enough for a month or so to help bring them a SB, and they will view the risk as worth it/think they can handle him despite other teams not being able to.

It only goes so far.

There came a time when teams gave up on Terrell Owens too.

Guys like TO got multiple chances because they still played hard. Brown literally rage quit during a game. He is done. His off the field antics are now on the field. No team will want that at this point of the season.

There it is. You can’t walk off and just quit during a game. Not to mention, make a spectacle of yourself while doing it. He’s done. Here had more 2 nd chances than he ever should have. And he just spit in the face of the folks who gave him the last one. He released a rap song, YESTERDAY!!!! And his only comments have been about it, not what he did.

Don’t know what sources Skip Bayless has….but he claims another version of events.  It does match up with the video of him and Brady talking before he walked off. 

AB ran his mouth about Tom throwing to Gronk.  Brady got annoyed and was like…yeah, I’m going back to Gronk.  And that set him off. 

whatever it was I am sure it wasn’t about whatever singular thing occurred on the field

Its two sides to every story

 

 

I'll be very interested to see what, if anything, comes out further about this report right here.  If he just up and quit on his team in the middle of a game, in that way, he's done, 100%, no team will ever give him a chance again.

But if Arians literally said something to him about him being cut while still on the sidelines, then that changes everything.  To be honest, I'm a bit of a hothead myself, and if I was in that situation and I felt I wasn't healthy enough to properly play and my coach then cut me on the sideline, odds are I might have done exactly what he did there.

And if more comes out to support that story, I could very well see a WR needy team like KC or GB signing him to their practice squad before the playoffs and seeing if they think they can get him to keep his act together for a month for a SB run.

But if not, and he really just quit on them, he officially retired yesterday.

It honestly makes me cringe when I see people all over TV saying he has mental issues which don’t get me wrong he may have them  but I rather a professional diagnose him. I just think people throw that term out a lot . Mental issues is a broad term and when people just throw it out like that , it’s worrisome.  I seen people use the term just because they didn’t like someone’s attitude. Now he has showed out a lot but what if that’s really the person he is . If he needs help , I really hope he gets it . I knew people who suffered from alot of different complex mental issues and they can be helped. If that’s the case, I hope he gets help. Sorry if text is choppy ,

      Preseason Week 3 - vs. Pittsburgh (practice tweets, discussion, etc)

      By raleigh-panther · Posted

      They had best show out in Week 1 there are zero,I mean zero,  excuses for that offense  defense, haven’t play together yet and they still have Mr Soft and Predictable as DC  I expect break downs at times  …but that offense returns all starters except Tremble and both Mayes and Brady are veterans and can play LG and know the system not up for any participation awards this season they can save that practice energy for Jacksonville.     I’m sick of the, winning,  or looking competitive, when it doesn’t matter.

      There are some tough decisions that I'm eager to see the results of... Does Blackshear sneak on to the roster as RB4? Does the team go with 4 TEs or just 3 again? And has Mitchell Evans done enough to defend his roster spot from James Mitchell? Who is WR6 and is there a WR7? TMac, XL, Coker, and AT seem to be locks imo and I'm assuming Renfrow also makes it due to all of the camp praise. Who makes it between Brycen Tremayne, Jimmy Horn Jr, and David Moore? If the team goes with 7 WRs, which one of those three doesn't make it? Jacolby George and Emani Bailey both have not gotten a lot of game time. Could the Panthers be trying to hide them so that they can be stashed on the PS? Do they go with 10 OL instead of 9? Who makes it out of Walton, Carter, and Kingston? DL locks are DB, BB3, ARob, and Turk. That leaves Jaden Crumedy, Cam Jackson, Sam Roberts, Shy Tuttle, and LaBryan Ray all competing for the final 1 - 3 spots. Does DJ Johnson get IR'd and Thomas Incoom make the roster as EDGE5? What in the fuuuuuuuuuuuuck is going to happen at LB? Only locks are Wallace, Rozeboom, and Cherelus (Wallace has mentioned in media how Cherelus has been big bro for him on the team) seem to be locks. Rhattigan had some good moments against Houston, Martin-Scott is an SC guy, Krys Barnes has popped on defense and on special teams, and Windmon got time starting for the team last season. Are two of those guys going to make it or are the Panthers poaching from another team's cuts? CB5... who is it? Do they go with the 4 expected safeties or bring in a 5th? Has Ransom done enough to take the start from Nick Scott?

      I had this discussion with my buddy yesterday afternoon. If we start this season very slow(especially with the schedule being what it is) and then "rally" in the second half to get to 4-7 wins, I am already gonna be pretty heated at the staff overall. I know we are a very bad roster but I am not gonna keep excusing these slow season starts WITH late season rallies. That's a coaching staff problem, IMO. It's more excusable to just stink gate to gate, IMO. At least you can understand why.
