Antonio Brown Anyone?

All of it make sense to me as a story. The Buccaneers had no reason to trust him given his history, so when something really happens, both sides cornered up and got defensive...instant blow up. That is what happens when you lose trust in anything. My guess the Buccaneers were wrong, and Brown was wrong for overreacting. Classic life story of a trouble maker.

 

not sure how TB was wrong other than, and I did zero looking up so almost assuredly wrong here, NOT having medical check brown out

I 100% understand coaches wanting player to play in plays designed for said player to play... that was the plan...

if brown could not go then medical should have been involved and best I can tell they were not

 

AB is hurt...so I pass on him.
But if was healthy, I would so take him over NWI for this playoff push...

 

Fully agree!

 

I have no idea who is telling the truth, but from what we have seen, I would believe Arians before AB.

 

I am actually leaning towards AB on this one, simply cause Arians has already been caught lying about not knowing about any ankle injury.

And if the head coach doesn't know about an ankle injury to a top receiver on their team, something is amiss with that head coach.

 

I believe this way more than AB's version. AB may truly believe this is how it went down, but he has a history of being a self-misperceived malcontent. And personally, I think AB has a diagnosable mental disorder that encompasses some degree of delusion.

Even if you aren't 100%, a coach may want you out there to draw defenders your way so the guy who IS 100% can have an improved chance to make the play.

And how teams does this make that AB quit on? I don't feel sorry for the Raiders or the Bucs or whoever else backed this guy. He's a delusional quitter.

 

Well, that may very well be taken out of context. Of course he knew AB had missed practices because of his ankle. But then AB showed up at game time saying he was fine. Then according to Arians he was complaining about targets. Then the guy runs around the field like a loon, without even a small limp. Then he starts doing jumping jacks across the endzone, like a loon, without even the smallest trace of an ankle injury.

But hey, if you can swallow all that and believe AB, then more power to you.
