    Mike Wallace was amazing without Ben. Oh wait… he sucked everywhere else he went. JuJu (who you seem to think sucks) had a 111 catch, 1,400 yard season with Ben… but of course that was all due to AB, right?

    You didn't originally ask about leadership. I'm ONLY answering to your first question, not subsequent ones.

    You’ve got to be freaking kidding me… Please enlighten us as to the “reasons” for running himself out of Pittsburgh; running himself out of Oakland; sexually assaulting his trainer; failing to pay numerous vendors for products and services; oh… here’s a good one, throwing furniture off a high rise balcony and almost hitting a little kid. The list goes on and on and on. Your attitude about him is nothing more than enablement of poor - in some cases criminal - behavior. The man is not well mentally. His behavior isn’t due to external forces. It’s due to his own mental health issues. He needs help, not enabling excuses.

    I believe that Brown is capable of making rash, stupid decisions that go against his own self-interest. I believe this because he has done it before. I also believe this because I watched him dance off the field on the ankle that was supposedly too badly injured for him to play. You, on the other hand, are abandoning all logic and reason for the sake of being a contrarian. Have fun with that while the majority laughs at you.

    Sorry I took so long to get back on the thread. Thank you for this. My apologies as well for my own part in the "being a dick" aspect of the discussion. I always look forward to spirited debate. :)

    What??? Plaxico had a better season. He only played with Ben for one season. Ben's rookie season,and Had His dumb A$$ not left. He would have got a SB the very next year, and went 2 more. I never really liked Sanders except his rookie year. Ben was throwing 2 Wallace, bell, brown, Heath ,and Sanders then. So He should have just skipped the rest, and thrown more 2 Sanders????
    Sorry both of these examples sucked. Try better. :shrug:

    Profootball Doc with a more objective take of the situation. He looks at the video with respect the ankle @6:00 and also discusses how the trainers and coaches typically handle return to play.

    Bell wasn't playing when sanders was. For someone acting like they know it all you should've known that. Brown was behind sanders on the depth chart. Wallace wasn't better than sanders. Nether was heath. And maybe he should've sander slept and became an allpro and won a sb and is still to this day in the league making plays for contenders. Is Mike Wallace still playing? Who's only 1 year older.

    That's not an excuse. DeAndre hopkins had his career high in catches and yards with ROOKIE DeShaun Watson. So doesn't matter that Ben was a rookie.

    And how was Plaxico dumb? Lmao he left and got another ring lol and caught the game winning td in the sb. And performed better in NY.

    Idc about none of that off the field stuff. He quit in Pittsburgh because he no longer wanted to play with Ben because Ben acted like he was above the team. Some guys are ok with that. AB is not. And actually that last game Tomlin told him he couldn't play. AB didn't voluntarily say I'm not playing. That was a coaches decision.

    He never really wanted to be in Oakland. He just wanted out of Pittsburgh and they wouldn't just out right cut him so he was forced to go wherever they could trade him to.

    And he says he has proof of what happened on Sunday and proof that Arians lied by having texts stating from the gm and Arians that Arians was in fact aware of the injury ab had when he claimed he had no knowledge. So let's see once all the facts come out what really happened.

    Yes it was due to Ab. People that know an analyze the game will tell you that. He was the number 2 and people were focusing on AB. When he was required to be the number 1 he failed drastically because he's not that guy.

    Juju hasn't had a 100 YARD GAME SINCE AB LEFT. Ab just a week ago on a bum ankle and after haven't played or practiced for like 2 months caught 10 for over 100 yards.

    Mike Wallace was good but he was the number 2 here. He went other places trying to be the number 1 and failed.

    Let everything come out first before yall jump the gun. It's a reason Tampa hasn't cut him yet. If B.A had no wrong doing about the injury which if he did can cause a guidance for cutting a guy for forcing him to paly injured why haven't the bucs released AB yet if hes 100% in the wrong and acted our gor no reason? Sounds like it's something the bucs are hiding to me so they have to keep him.

    Because you think someone has to be a fan of someone personally to be a fan of what they do on the field.

    Does the same hold true for the Ray Rices, Ray Caruths, Aaron Hernandez’ and OJs of the world? After all, they were all good players. Or is it just your chosen head case?

    Lol you scorch Ben on here for not being a good teammate and “leader” but you’re gonna bail brown out for it ? I like what you have to say on this site but not when it comes to AB.
