Antonio Brown’s Frustration Boils Over Early

There is NO question about his fire and his passion!!!! He is a VERY hard worker and with all that, he does get some slide on his actions but us fans can grow tired of his immature Azz as we don't get to be around all the hard work he is putting in. Being so, that causes us to not appreciate his antics quite as much. The little TD celebrations or first down action is all ok but when he looks like a ******* two year old freshly removed from his candy that's when I get a little perturbed. Goes for any player, not just the special ones...........

He's a better WR than either of those two. As long as he shows up and does his job every week I can deal with the rest. Folks get too wound up in their personalities and demeanor. Ben has some drama queen in him too, and we go nowhere if either of them is hurt for an extended period. Those other dudes are wide open for a reason.

Never said he wasn't better than both of them. Just stated I wished he acted more like the one than the other. And calling Ben a drama queen is laughable compared to the pout fests AB has when he deems he isn't get the ball enough. I will take what you call Ben and his "Drama Queen" act over AB selfishness anytime. AB get's stats win or loss he is happy. AB doesn't get his stats he pouts even in a win....but as I stated above. I guess you take the good with the bad when dealing with AB.
 
Has anybody got the time to do a season by season comparison of Jerry Rice / Heinz Ward / and Antonio Brown ??? It would be kind of neat to see how he is progressing on Rice and one of our own greats. Thanks in advance to whomever takes this on.!!!!

Rice's numbers are mind boggling. While he might not have the receptions AB has up to this point in AB's career he has the yards, TD's and average per catch. And when you sit back and think of the era he played in compared to the game now it is just crazy.
 
some of his antics are so stupid. but he produces on the field so they are overlooked.

FULLY agree with you and that brings us to the appreciation of Stallworth and Swann, in their respective era. Thank you

Think who was throwing Ward the ball his first 6 seasons in the nfl. Rice and AB had hof QBs throwing to them their entire career.
Every wr wants the ball, but how many wr's do you see showing his QB up and throwing a tantrum and water jugs on the sideline on a play in week 4? He's pissed he didn't get his stats, and was still mad after the game we won

Hines numbers aren't even in the same zip code.

AB had a 100 yard game last year with Landry.

Yeah he did, but the 4 games in 2015 without Ben he averaged 4 catches and 50 yards per game without Ben.
Not trying to compare AB and Ward, but I think alot of people forget what kind of numbers Ward put up on a run first team with crappy QBs.

They weren't exactly letting Vick throw the ball.

Nope, that's my point, they are going to be a run heavy team, more than now, when Ben retires.

You have no idea who the QB is going to be or when it's going to be. It could be 3 years from now.

Landry attempted 86 passes last season in two starts and some time against the Dolphins. It's a passing league. They aren't just gonna go turtle without Ben. Hell they could luck out into a good QB so you have no idea.

I don't know, but it's a safe bet it won't be a HOF QB, and they go turtle ball quite a bit with Ben. I think Ben plays out his contract though.

The team will move on once Ben goes through his Favre off season routine for a couple of years and retires. He’s been one of the best to ever lace them up here, but there will be an after when he’s done.

Yeah, I know, all of our QBs between Terry and him sucked, but that doesn’t mean we’re doomed to the same fate again.

AB is the best receiver the Steelers have had and it's not even close. I was getting a lot of heat about this 3 years ago when I mentioned it, but he is still tracking like a HOFer. His peers are Rice and Harrison. I did a comparison last year, I'll do one for this year later in the week.
 
Different era, how would Rice's #'s look in today's NFL? AB doesn't compare to Rice, he'll let him pass Wards Steeler numbers first
