Antonio Brown's beef with Ben Roethlisberger was heated, sudden, and so avoidable

Thank you for sharing this so I could just about burst a blood vessel with frustration and anger at this video's portrayal of the situation.

The producers of that can go fuck themselves. And that's about all I got to say about it.

Liar...

To be clear, we are losing an immense fuckface and mentally unstable egomaniac and it is all too obvious things will be as good or better. Won't be difficult to be as good or better, being WE DIDN'T EVEN MAKE THE FUCKING PLAYOFFS LAST SEASON.

Fixed.

So somehow the Steelers not making the playoffs is on AB rather than the dumb mother-fucker coaching the team, that couldn't qualify despite having all that talent? It's AB's fault I guess that his team lost to the saints when he caught 14 ballls for a buck eighty-five and two scores!!

He had numbers. Fuck him and his numbers. Yes, his spoiled little fragile ego certainly played a part in them not making the playoffs.

[swissvale72]

Oh yeah? How'd that happen?

I fail to see in his statement where he assigned blame for not making the playoffs on AB.

It’s but a simple fact that we were yet again a non-playoff team guided by a huge fraud.

I think the point is, we have missed the playoffs or gone one & done with AB. So not hard to figure we can replicate that “standard” or even exceed it without him.

No, no. AB already blamed JuJu for the Saints loss, because you know, AB's a giant piece of fucking shit.

It's funny because I didn't see JuJu blame AB's horrific performance against the Raiders as the reason we lost that game.

Probably because JuJu's a quality guy and great teammate. Probably why his teammates voted him Team MVP instead of the useless cunt rag who used to wear #84.

Maybe DumbFuck Mike Tomlin keeping Ben on the bench for most of the 2nd half, not calling timeouts late was the reason we lost that game!

Thought a rainy Saturday morning a good time to examine some Steeler history relative to being fleeced in trades involving productive wide receivers, in light of the incessant predictions on this esteemed website that Antonio Brown will suck in Oakland next year...some suggesting that he wasn't all that great anyway, only who he is because of Ben Roethlisberger...

*Buddy Dial...the famed Buddy Dial for nothing trade in 1964, after Dial had amassed incredible numbers, most recently with the highly regarded drunkard Ed Brown throwing him the ball in '63. Steelers traded Dial to Dallas for the rights to University of Texas offensive tackle Scott Appleton, who subsequently signed with the AFL. Dial did nothing for the Cowboys.

*Roy Jefferson...falling into disfavor with Chuck Noll, particularly for his union activities, Jefferson was traded to Baltimore in 1970 for the washed up Willie Richardson. Lord Jeff amassed his Steeler number with the likes of Kent Nix, et al, throwing him the ball. Jefferson caught 52 balls for half a dozen TDs with Baltimore that year, later putting up 51 catches for 8 TDs in a season with the Redskins.

*Frank Lewis...he's not talked about much, but Steelers, having Swann and Stallworth, traded the former #1 draft choice to Buffalo for TE Paul Seymour after the '77 season. Seymour failed his Steeler physical, was returned to Buffalo. Lewis stayed with Buffalo. Steelers got no additional compensation. Lewis caught 41 balls the next season for 7 TDs with the Bills...played six years in Buffalo, scored 24 TDs for the Bills during that time, made the Pro Bowl

*SANTONIO HOLMES....to the Jets for a 5th, or was it a 6th round draft choice. Ironically, a typical response on this esteemed website to my maintaining that "As Steeler fans, we will be forever indebted to Santonio Holmes," was the counterpoint of "Antonio Brown shits all over Santonio Holmes." And the ridiculous contention that Holmes dropped the SB game-winner the play before catching one. And....the response that Steelers would not have wound up with Antonio Brown had Holmes stayed. Well now...since so many of you argue that Steelers never won shit with AB, was that NOW a bad trade of Santonio Holmes??? Which was it. Oh yeah, year after leaving the Steelers, Holmes found the end zone 6 times with Mark Fuckin' Sanchez delivering him the ball, balled out during this contract year, which he would have done with the Steelers as they sought a championship but had a bunch of fuckin' knuckleheads engaged in a Chinese Fire Drill while trying to must a SB-winning drive against the Packers...something that Holmes had some experience in delivering. Holmes with the Jets...52 catches for 6 TDs, some of them game-winners in '10, made the amazing catch to seal the win against the Patriots in a playoff game in Foxboro, something the Steelers have never done, and then followed up with 51 catches for 8 TDs the following season, before his knuckleheadedness got the best of him.

I for one wonder what *the argument* is into which *the claim* we never won anything with AB even is.

Swiss claims:
AB is an immense talent and the offense is going to be worse without him, especially since the team is coached by a dim-wit.

A few posters:
So what? The team never won anything with AB.

I do not understand what the claim "we never won anything with AB" is supposed to be proving exactly.
Because an implication could be: we never won anything with AB and (insert Swiss here) now that he's gone it is even less likely the team will win anything.

(Granting all this, now that AB has openly demonstrated he is a turd of the first order, I really don't care that he is gone. I derive a lot of pleasure watching the Steelers play football, but my happiness is not even a little bit dependent on the tem doing well.)

We didn’t make the playoffs last season with the great Mr. Big Chest.

It won’t be some kind of Herculean task to win more next season. At all.

Also, Ben could very well be more effective spreading the ball around more.

In fact, I 100% believe he will be.

[Obviously]

I'd like to know who the posters are that Swiss is addressing his claims to.

Speaking for myself, I was pissed as hell when Art II and Co. jettisoned Santonio Holmes. He owned the '08 playoffs. Was the logical choice for XLIII MVP. Steelers Nation forever indebted to him for what he accomplished bringing the sixth Lombardi to Pittsburgh.

Having said all that I was pissed as hell with Holmes for getting in trouble with the whole "wake and bake" thing. Fucking idiot. That doesn't dimish what he accomplished as a Steeler to me, but like AB, like 10-cent head Martavis Bryant, like Le'veon Bell, like Ben Roethlisberger, like Ernie Holmes many years before, got me pissed off as fuck about them for exercising horrible judgment putting themselves in the positions they found themselves.

[Legacy User]

The team could well be better with 2-3 good-to-very good receivers instead of 1 great-but-ego-driven-and-possibly-bipolar receiver. The offense could be more balanced and productive. I'm not saying that will happen, but it's entirely conceivable.

This isn't Madden (it's a video game, Swiss). Having Antonio Brown on the team doesn't raise the team's overall rating from 94 to 97. He's a great player, but he didn't want to be here, and he made that clear in very destructive ways.

What are we arguing about here?

[AirRescueFF]

If there is a big drop in those kinds of very ill-advised, WTF throws that Ben sent AB's way, then that is a plus. They seem to have been increasing lately.

AB literally forced the trade. Had the team not obliged I’d be willing to be AB would have continued to ratchet up his childish & highly unprofessional behavior.

Holmes wasn’t acting like a vindictive douche the way AB is. He just made some really poor decisions.

That trade was worse IMO and quite possibly cost us a ring.

I don't remember everyone exactly, Obv, but I DO remember having a number of exchanges with Veritas Steel, who cited Holmes' modes yardage/catches, and was clueless around his coming up biiiiig in the biggest moments, and being an absolute Ravens killer. In fact, when this present convo began, I was accused of more or less transferring my affection for Holmes onto AB. And...there have been a number of references over the years, diminishing Holmes absolutely flawless SB-winning catch because he didn't make the catch on the previous play. To which I replied, the at-bat prior to his World Series walkoff home in 1960, Bill Maz had hit into a double play.

You know, that drive in XLIII was nearly all Holmes making plays. To be exact, 73 of the 78 yards of that drive Holmes catching four passes. Ben gets credit, too, but Holmes was lights out. The Cards had absolutely no answers for him. So he missed one. So fucking what. If Veritas or whoever made that statement, he's proving himself to be a fucking simpleton.

One of the biggest differences between Santonio and AB is that Santonio can always come back to Pittsburgh, and he will be welcomed with open arms. I hate that he did not stay a Steeler. I agree with you that vs. Green Bay, it likely wouldn't have been the Keystone Cops on that final drive.

AB, though. I couldn't disagree with you more on the situation being reconcilable after 12/30/2018. AB did the unthinkable. Quit on his teammates. You can't do that. You simply just can't. It's why I have no use for Mendenhall either.

For me it's the fact that AB was intentionally agitating to get moved to another team. Takes two to tango. How do the Steelers reconcile with a guy intentionally fucking with them in order to get traded? The only thing they could have done was to tear up his contract and offer him what he wanted, but I wonder if even that would be enough. The entire team would have had to have paid him sufficient homage to satisfy his ego, the offense would have had to have been built around making sure he got his numbers. I can't see how anyone thinks the Steelers should have gone to these lengths for AB or how anyone thinks the situation was salvageable without them.
