Not sure why you'd want that guy on your squad.

Name one player for the Patriots who Belichick hasn’t been able to control?

The talent is worth it for one year. If the Patriots have AB I am not saying they will go undefeated but their only weakness is gone. Which is a replacement for the explosiveness of Gronk.
Patriots D is top 5 good. The roster is deeper than last year.
Schedule has really only 5 hard games.
If the Patriots win week 1 their games week 2-6 they will be atleast a 6 point favorite in every game till Cleveland at home on SNF.

I think Brown is a complete clown but Belichick can control clowns see Corey Dillon, Randy Moss.

Josh Gordon

Mike Mayock just told Gruden to fire him he isn’t going to be his lackey.

Antonio Brown will be a Patriot or 49er.
No other team could control him.
The Browns would be stupid enough to try but that would blow up.
AB to New England.

Gruden’s been down this road before with Keyshawn Johnson. If the Raiders don’t suspend/deactivate Brown for the rest of the season, the league should. Another team shouldn’t benefit from these shenanigans. The Raiders made a deal in good faith and it’s apparent that Brown never wanted to be there.

trump drops pence and adds AB as his running mate? they seem to suffer from the same organic brain disease

And they both just...wear...everybody...out.

The Steelers proved that former major league manager Gene Mauch was correct when he said, "Sometimes you add by subtracting."

At what point does AB get black balled from the league?

Another weakness would be if something happens to their 42 YO QB. Most teams don't have much in the way of a capable backup but NE has a guy that has never played a down in the NFL.

 

[MSOrange]

Well maybe the Kelvin Benjamin era in Buffalo wasn't so bad after all.

Josh Gordon

Josh Gordon was a great teammate.
He was not a problem.
The team took him back and kept him.
He has mental and substance health issues. He wasn’t a problem for the team.

Belichick doesn’t cut Hoyer if Stidham wasn’t developing. If Brady gets hurt their season is done no matter if they have Hoyer or Stidham.
If Brady missed a game or two I am just as confident in Stidham as I am in Hoyer. McDaniels in the Patriots system is a tremendous coach.

It wouldn’t shock me if Stidham replaced Brady when he retires.
Auburn’s coach ruined Stidham. It was a terrible run offense.

 

[OrangeDW]

Too many idiots believing the slanted and fake news.

It’s fun, but I have grown to really hate CMB and Carlin in general.

The people who just look at stats and don’t watch the games are the ones who get me. Talking about “Eli dumped it off too much last year”. If he didn’t dump it off, he would’ve been sacked about 900 more times.

There’s a reason Barkley had so many more yards after contact than everyone else. Because the line sucked and he was getting hit as soon as he got the ball. If he had a line, he would’ve ran for 2,000.

Raiders may be able to keep Antonio Brown from playing for someone else

As the Raiders try to figure out what to do with Antonio Brown, the player seems to be walking right into the team's nuclear option.

It's semantics, I guess. Bottom line is, Gordon may not have been a "problem", but Belichick didn't "control" Gordon's issues with substance abuse.

Different demons. At least Gordon seems to want help.
AB is just a dipstick.

No outsider can control another person's habits. That comes from within.
Not knowing how to keep your mouth shut, and not knowing how stupid you really are, is not a habit.
I wonder if AB owes his agent his % of that formerly guaranteed money.

I think Randy grew up, as well.

League should suspend him for racist comments.

Seems like AB has had "habits" for a number of years now.

Me and Julio down by the schoolyard...

Inept organization.

 

[Cusefan0307]

I’d love to see him on Cleveland with Odell.

There is always room for idiots as long as the financial risk is low. AB will still get some demand but he is costing himself tonnes of money... some teams will want him, but will only pay enough, so that the cost to cut is minimal.

I am so sick of hearing about Antonio Brown.
