Eli has been a terrible Quarterback for the last 4 seasons at least. The Giants are pretty much finished for the foreseeable future if they don't get rid of him |
chic2pimp:Don't mind diadem10. When Lemar ends up in Changchun Yatai this thread will not contain the two of us |
Nayo08:Greatest of all time |
Saw this on Twitter Carlo Ancelotti: 'There is a player who is more dangerous than Cristiano Ronaldo, it's the Cristiano Ronaldo who hadn't scored in the previous match' |
Ororo showing us again why he's the GOAT. The debate should be closed |
Khanben:There are more adult ways to advocate for more money. Why make it sound like the team was the problem and act like a complete child when all you simply wanted was more money. |
raumdeuter:I'm all for it. |
Roland17:I'm a Steelers fan my gee. There are countless games I've seen AB shutdown in single coverage never mind double. It's tough to gauge how good or how bad Julio is in the red zone. Jones does not get anywhere as close to the number of targets a guy like Brown gets in the red zone. https://www.thefantasyfootballers.com/articles/fantasy-football-film-study-is-julio-jones-a-poor-red-zone-wr/ This is an article breaking down most of the Red Zone targets in that season I listed above Roland17:Julio is not as skilled but is a tougher cover IMO. One QB just has a better ability to get his receiver the ball in the redzone than the other https://www.pro-football-reference.com/years/2017/redzone-receiving.htm Mere looking at this list and the number of Steelers receivers in the top 30 of red zone receiving and targets that should tell you one is playing with a QB that is better at getting the ball to his receivers in shorter fields |
Tundesam923:Deshaun just played a full season this year. Hopkins has been dealing with rubbish QB's his first 4 years in the league before Watson (who's hardly elite btw). Osweiler, Keenum and other QB's so bad I can't remember them. I didn't say Julio is better than Antonio I only said Julio Jones is a tougher receiver to cover than AB. Brown is a lot more consistent, a better route runner (which is 70% of what makes a good receiver) and overall the better receiver |
Tundesam923:The blame lies more on the defense than Ben. The previous year we lost to them at home after that Jesse James TOUCHDOWN that was wrongfully canceled Antonio was pocketed by Stephon Gilmore. A lot of times we lose to the Pats it's mostly down to the defense not being able to keep the game close. My point anyways is that Big Ben made AB and not the other way round like the media is trying to spin. Let's see how Antonio fairs when he doesn't have elite QB's throwing his way and feeding him 10-15 targets a game. Larry Fitzgerald that warned Brown is not crazy, he's a WR and knows how a great QB can help a receiver |
Gratefulheart01:Smith started at Middleweight. He moved to LH probably because that's where he felt was his natural level. Trying to cut weight can be really stressful if you're not a natural middleweight you will always be at war with your body Gratefulheart01:Well that would be a darned shame then. He's been Undisputed twice, he's held the belt thrice. I look at the division and who else can step up. DC moved up and ended the streak of Miocic. That took a lot of balls and courage which is why I am shocked that Jon Jones isn't even considering it Gratefulheart01:Silva is a very technical fighter. Brute approach can't work with him. If you want to see Adesanya in savage mode go and watch his fight with Brunson. He showed mad athleticism and his knees really wrecked Brunson. |
Tundesam923:I have no qualms with Antonio wanting more money. My problem is with how he chose to go about it, dragging the organization that made him who he is today through the mud and making it sound like he was being ganged up against and playing the victim instead of just coming upfront and telling us it was all about the money all along like Bell did Julio Jones had similar situation with the Falcons and didn't become an embarrassment to his organization. Money is very important but if he fails at Oakland he is putting his Hall of Fame credentials in jeopardy |
Tundesam923:Why didn't Belichick take away Julio Jones in the Superbowl? The truth is Antonio Brown is easier to shutdown than the likes of Jones and Hopkins. I'm a Steelers fan and I've seen Antonio get locked down by lesser defensive masterminds than Bill Belichick. No long yarning. Ben has shown he can win in the past. Let Antonio Brown go and prove he can without Ben |
Tundesam923:Did you know if you take out the 73 TD's Ben has thrown to Antonio Brown you're still left with 290? Big Ben made Antonio Brown not the other way round. A great receiver cannot make a bad Quarterback look good. That's why Larry Fitzgerald is suffering in Arizona Even in that Superbowl he was able to win in his second season he made some big plays in that game and in the Conference title game he made the game saving tackle after Jerome Bettis aka The Bus fumbled at the goal line. Ben is a winner and was winning long before Antonio Brown made the league |
Khanben:Your article is literally corroborating what I said ab initio. We took a calculated gamble paying AB in advance after his second deal. Had he failed the Steelers would have been slandered for extending a second rounder after two seasons. People always go on and on about these things as if the league is not filled with players who flop after getting huge deals. Besides most of the cap juggling moves were made due to paucity of funds and not because they didn't want to pay Brown. He was made the highest paid receiver and the Steelers policy is well known when it comes to these contracts. Everybody is subject to it even Big Ben |
Gratefulheart01:But Smith is not really a true Light Heavyweight. He moved up from middleweight to take on Jones. On paper Jones is equipped with all the tools to conquer at Heavyweight but I'm sure he has his reasons for not wanting to move up there. He's teased fights with Brock Lesnar in the past and I'm sure he's watched DC and is thinking if DC can do it surely I can. Though I also saw an interview of him talking about the risks of moving up to fight DC at Heavyweight. Enjoy? Jon Jones has fought at LH for like 8 years now. IMO he has nothing left to prove in that division. Jones is a unicorn! I don't know if I've ever seen a more complete fighter with no real weaknesses. He's not the heaviest hitter but his reach is so long it will keep you at bay and occupied so much so you have little chance to mount your offense. And his kicks!! It's like fighting with a giraffe! This nigga is like Dhalsim Adesanya is not brutal? Are you sure? I don't think Derek Brunson or Anderson Silva will agree oh
|
Killrhymz:He's a locker room nuisance. Just watching his statements and videos since this whole thing started. If you're a team interested in winning forget it! You can't win with Antonio Brown. He's always been about his numbers whether the team wins or not. |
Gratefulheart01:I think asking Jon Jones to move to Heavyweight makes more sense than asking Israel Adesanya to move to LH and face the best fighter in the history of the division. Let Jones move up |
Gratefulheart01:I want Adesanya to stay at middleweight. Adding 20 pounds to his frame is unnecessary! He's a skinny guy Jon Jones na agbaya. Why is he afraid of moving to Heavyweight? He has dominated Light Heavyweight so why not move up to fight the Blaydes, Derrick Lewis, JDS and Ngannou's of the world like Cormier did |
Tundesam923:Is that why he quit on the team on the last week of the season? Is that why he has been acting like a lunatic attacking journalists, missing team meetings and behaving like a douchegoblin? If you want more money there are mature ways you can go about it instead of bringing an organization and their QB to disrepute. We Steelers fans are ready for a fresh start. Antonio Brown does not exist to us. The Steelers have a conveyor belt of receivers so can't be bothered |
SmooshCHN:The only constant with this Warriors team this season is it's unseriousness on defense. Which is understandable but no less worrying |
Khanben:Underpaid for 10 years? No be 2010 e enter league? Haba. You people should fear God nau! We gave him a $42.5m/5 year deal after his second season where other teams would have allowed him to run his rookie contract, bear in mind he was a 6th round pick And after that deal expired he was given a $68m/4 year deal that made him the highest paid receiver in the game! So if the Giants or Texans pay Odell or Hopkins a certain amount 2 or 3 years later, you don't expect the Steelers to react to every change in the market. So you see The Steelers took care of Antonio Brown abeg. You people should stop spreading this false narrative. We won 0 Superbowls with him and got to 0 Superbowls even with him in his prime so I really don't care |
Lmaooo Golden State blew a 16pt lead to the Suns |

donlittle25:Lwkmd. The Leastern Conference hid LeNomad for the longest time. Just one season in the West and their MCM's team has tapped out with 17 games left! This for me is even more disappointing than them not making the playoffs. I thought they would even put up a fight. Waving the white flag this early has even killed the fun out of trolling these guys |
Time to Safety Dance. All the 80's babies afrodoc2, elampiro, Roland17 una go remember this jam We can dance if we want to, we can leave your friends behind, Cause your friends don't dance and if they don't dance, Well they're no friends of mine https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0QDKLglEP5Y |
Tundesam923:Why should I like a guy that burned bridges at a team that paid him twice. If you double JuJu Smith then more food for the other tight ends and receivers. The NFL is the ultimate team sport. What people are not getting in this matter is that Big Ben made Antonio Brown not the other way round. Absence of AB means less forced throws and more balanced targets and ball distribution. Ben has thrown over 300 TDs and 50k yards The Steelers offense was strong in the 2008-2009 Superbowl season. It wasn't just the defense |
KNIGHTBlaed:They always shape shift and change colors like chameleon. My own is this season has emphatically buttressed what I have been stressing since the Fall of Man. LeNomad owes his career to playing in a weaker conference. He is going to need that Miami Heat level roster just to make it past the first round in the West never mind getting to the Finals |
raumdeuter:PDP are an unserious bunch in Lagos. They have no real base and routinely decamp to APC when shyte hits the fan. Look at Obanikoro and even his son that still contested under PDP flag in 2015, e don sharply port to APC. It's comical You can only see them during election period and once it's over they go back into hibernation. Even Jimi Agbaje that resurfaces every 4 years like World Cup cannot realistically expect to win any elections in Lagos. |
steady986:Klay, Kawhi, KD are not coming to the Lakers. Don't set your self for heartbreak |
steady986:Shey you can see the team in 10th?? Where were the Lakers when he returned? How many games left? So you mean your LeNomad cannot lead the Lakers to the playoffs without all-stars? If the Clippers and Jazz were waiting for all-stars would they make the playoffs?
