AB

It is certainly possible. I think Brown is capable of it. If it turned out to be true, then I would agree that it was fair to say he quit on his team.

 

Yeah I know that i was just pointing out how he wasnt the headache he normally is.

 

All what you say is fair and I agree but to say we are better without him is wrong and that was what my comment was about nothing more.

 

at first I was like no we need Ab because of double teams, but now I think as a team we have a better chance of winning with out his selfishness, healthier locker room and more team unity will help coaches and players and orginization

 

Jeremy Fowler reported that AB wasn't happy about Ben calling him out on the radio for running a bad route in the Denver game, that's understandable Ben threw a bonehead int on that play, cost us the win .

 

Even if that happened and Ben was in the wrong entirely, he needs to act like a 30-year old man and deal with it professionally.

There really is no excuse for what he's doing.

And regarding that play, I wonder how much Brown was in Ben's ear to throw him the football.

How much pressure did Ben feel he HAD to get Brown the football? << plenty of picks this year attempting to force the ball to Brown.

pushing all of this AB stuff onto Ben is silly. Even if Ben was in the wrong (which I'm not all convinced he even is), it doesn't make him responsible for what we are seeing with Brown.

 

It was Pouncey's fault because he blocked Harris too good, which put him in position to make the int. That's what Ben said on his radio show after the loss.

 

Good read and many good points that a lot of people have posted here but I have one comment about this. The guy points out AB as a "cancer" but yet he also say his teammates who are at the pro bowl have said they want him back, it can't be both right? He is either a locker room cancer or he isn't, I have said before in this thread I will side with what the players are saying and not what is reported by reporters and social media. I really feel we have beaten this to death and it really is a wait and see IMO. If the players want him back then fine if the players want him gone that is fine. My opinion is I want AB back but he has a lot of talking to do and it starts right at the top. If AB can't talk to the owner, coach and teammates and smooth this over he can hit the rode jack and don't ever come back no more no more no more..........JMO.

 

Apparently there has been communication but they are keeping it quiet.

Yeah not sure why it is all quiet and hush hush probably to give us message board junkies something to fight about lol........

That doesn't sound like Ben, he always puts the blame on himself in the post game interview.

 

There are two sides to the story and from what I am hearing Ben R, isn't the greatest teammate either.Can't wait until both our gone and of course Coach T.

 

Sorry Blast I am only commenting on what I read I am not in the locker room and either are you so we have to take what the players willing to say. Ans since that is 3 pretty important players there I think that carried weight. Yeah many players have said he has quit on the team and yet here they are talking about him coming back next year..........

 

re-enter the Mark Malone era. Yeah I can hardly wait. Fire everyone and things will get better.

 

Everyday something else..Y'all really want him back

 

Doesn't quite seem like he's sorry

 

Whatever man I get your pissed but don't try and paint a picture. Yeah of course there are people pissed and yeah we all are pissed this sucks man, but you have heard from 3 very strong members of this team that speaks volumes.

Like I said the whole social media thing gets blown out of proportion, lets wait and see what happens. I am sure there is so much we don't know and maybe never know. We all can sit here and post back and forth but fot what lets wait and see what the hell happens.
