mega Merged AB nonsense thread

[Havoc]

We've watched the guy play here. All his games. Catch radius?!?!?!

We have seen AB make so many WTF of catches that we've lost count. His body control and hands are generational. He makes catches players with a bigger catch radius do not come down with.

To quote Jobus

How many times have we said or thought “jeezus...how the fuck did he catch that?”

The argument that the offense has underachieved with AB does not mean it is due to ABs talent. Good lord. Offensive scheme and game planning is on coaching. And if AB has turned into a giant, unstable, me-first dick head, he is hurting the offense. But that does not mean he is less talented. So pointing to the offense underperforming does not make the case you wish it to.

I guess we have to agree to disagree. I think you're out to lunch on this one.

I have always said AB is a great player. I have always said AB earned HOF status.

Before the 2018 season the board was discussing this. I said then that I might construct an offense with the RZ in mind because it's so important. I talked about the 6'3" Jordy Nelson as a physical and gifted RZ target.

Of course catch radius is important. Did you see what the more physical and more vertically gifted 6'3" Larry Fitzgerald did for his team in their 2008 ps run?

[955876]

"Also a bushleague move to have paid him for that game. I don't understand that, and it also upset other players. It's not surprising, but how could Tomlin have been that stupid?"

If there's one thing I can be 110% certain of in this fiasco, it's that Tomlin isn't the one making decisions about whether AB got paid for week 17.

Guarantee EMR did it to avoid having to deal with the union.

What leg would the union or AB have to stand on?

If Art is that afraid of the Union when he was well within his power to suspend and doc a game check them he is more feckless and lacking cajones than already suspected.

Not saying you are saying this is the case. Realize you are just speculating here Jeemie

No you're not calling AB a JAG and you are good to remind me of that so that this does not end up a debate about a straw man.

I do not deny that a catch radius is important, but my point of sticking a bunch of question and exclamations after "catch radius" is to remind us that AB without a super big catch radius nonetheless pulls in insane catches. The guy is a human highlight reel! He seems to do just fine without a catch radius.

His talent is NOT the reason the offense has underperformed. I just don't see it. His ego, maybe.

Honest question: who would you take in his prime, AB or Fitz?

Sorry, but you can elaborate your dissatisfactions with Tomlin's flaws (of which many are legit complaints or areas that could/should improve), but let's face it... no one else has done better in the Tom Brady era, other than Belichick.

look at the coaches with All-Pro or HOF level QBs in Brady era:

Tomlin & Ben... 115-58-1, 4 years of 12-4 or better, 8-7 postseason, 2 SB trips, 1 SB win, 0-1 vs NE in postseason
Phil Rivers and anyone... 118-90-0, 5-6 in playoffs, no SB, 0-3 vs NE
Brees/Payton... 125-80-0, 8-6 in post-season, 1 SB trip, 1 SB win
Peyton Manning and Dungy... 85-27-0, 9-9, 2 SB appearance, 1 SB win
Peyton Manning and Caldwell... 24-8, 0-1
Peyton Manning and Fox... 38-10, 2-3, 2 SB appearances, 1 win
Peyton Manning and Gary Kubiak... 7-2, 3-0, beat NE in AFCCG
Aaron Rodgers and Mike McCarthy... 100-57-1, 9-7, 1 SB appearance, 1 SB win
Brett Favre and Holmgren (not Brady era)... 160-93-0, 12-10, 2 SB appearances, Won 1
Brett Favre in GB, Brady era... 69-43, 3-5, no SB appearances
Kurt Warner and anyone... two great years, lost to NE & PIT
Patrick Mahomes & Andy Reid... one great year, lost to NE

B2B, in fairness to others, is the complaint that Tomlin's win-loss record is subpar or is it that the reason Tomlin's win-loss record is not EVEN better is because of subpar game planning and philosophy.

It is, after all, the contention of many around these parts that Tomlin's record is primarily due to having amazing talent on the team.

[Kodiak]

Yep. Hasn't won shit with HIS team. He inherited Lebeau, and a core of great players that went to 2 SB's.

Years later as this team has become completely his, you have a RB that sits out the entire year....a WR that walks out on the team. The weed culture. What is it, THREE playoff wins since that last SB eight years ago?

Those last 8 years certainly don't stack up all that great against a lot of coaches not named Belicheat. We've seen the shitshow Tomlin is running - team doesn't have the focus or discipline to do squat in the postseason. But let's keep jerking off over "never had a losing season".

AB has fantastic hand eye coordination. There have always been guys in the league with fantastic hand eye coordination. Now you might think I'm downplaying AB's hand eye coordination.

Fitzgerald.

And I'll remind everyone that my position is that AB is a HOFer and he earned that.

[bradshaw2ben]

Name the amazing talent on defense. They've assembled some nice talent on O since the D got old, but overall it's not like they have greatly underperformed their talent level.

Could they have been better? Yes. Could things have been optimized for more wins? Yes. Is it ultimately the HC's fault when the previously unstoppable PK costs you multiple games? Of course it is.

I'm only saying that the scoreboard tells a different tale: Tomlin has had the second-best results in the Brady era. Has the second most wins, only Coughlin & Fox have as many SB appearances, and only Coughlin more SB wins.

[955876]

I’m actually a bit shocked Tomlin is still being held in high regard by anyone after that epic late season collapse he presided over.

7-2-1 and couldn’t secure a postseason birth even after beating long-time nemesis NE.

Allowing all that time to tick off the clock in Oakland all the while having two timeouts in pic ket should have been the final nail for any fan.

Tomlin is capable of putting some quality work on tape. His problem (among many) is how often he completely and totally fucks things up all by himself.

Just stands on the sidelines watching his only chance of winning (the time) tick away like he’s never coached a game before or even done the most basic of math.

It’s inexcusable.

The team from 2007-2011 had amazing talent on defense and Ben was in his prime to make an offense with not great talent go just enough to win.

Not surprising that they had a .688 winning percentage, 2 AFCCG appearances, 2 Super Bowls, and one Lombardi and 4 playoff appearances in 5 years.

But when that defense was done, they had only a .643 WP, only 4 playoff appearances in 7 years, one AFCCG and no Super Bowls. And only three lackluster playoff wins to show for that.

Doesn’t look so stellar when you break it up between Cowher/LeBeau-built defense and Tomlin/Butler built defense, now does it?

And even if you only consider the team after the defense fell off a cliff, why has the offense under performed so often with such immense talent?

I fear we are heading toward a potted plant debate!

[Kodiak]

I’m actually a bit shocked Tomlin is still being held in high regard by anyone...

Or that people include what he did those first four years - with mostly Cowher players and coaches - is somehow more indicative than the past 8. As the team has become more his, the team has become less successful. I think that's a completely accurate statement.

If Tomlin takes over your typical struggling/failing team, what the hell would he have to show for it? He's not been able to rebuild his defense, and he's won just 3 playoff games in 8 years.

Missed the playoffs 3 times in the last 8 years. These are not numbers that suggest above average with a HOF QB. In that same 8 years, Mike McCarthy missed the playoffs twice, and won 5 games. He got fired. In that same 8 years, Harbaugh has missed the playoffs four times, and won a SB.....he was nearly fired this year.

Seriously.

I mean we've spent how many 1st and 2nd round picks on defense over the past 10 years? And yet here we are talking how talentless the defense is? That's not exactly an argument for Tomlin, now is it?

[Kodiak]

I fear we are heading toward a potted plant debate!

Indisputably more successful when he WAS a potted plant!

And Tomlin can't stop "self-mutilating". He actively makes choices that sabotage and sub-optimize his chance of winning, from "saving" a two-point play to not putting your HOF QB back into the game. It's like he doesn't fully grasp the importance of every game and instead relies on "flipping the switch" when they get backed against the wall.

I mean, there's dumb shit other mediocre coaches do that lose games. And Tomlin has that in spades, too. But his stupid gambles with winnable games for potential future wins is other-level dumb.

[955876]

Exactly.

What some try to spin into an excuse for Tomlin is in reality an indictment against him.

A defensive minded coach can’t possibly get “unlucky” in the draft as often as he does.

The man has been given the resources. He simply stinks at picking D talent

Like AB?

Good grief, man. Yes.

There have always been guys in every sport at least since I've been watching with elite hand eye coordination and elite body control.

What was different about AB, was the sick quickness, the sick stop and turn on the dime, the sick precision route running. He's in rare air there no doubt, but there have always been wrs in the league gifted in ways AB was not.

My position on AB is, as great as he was in his prime, he was a little overrated.

Could AB have been part of the #1 scoring offense in the league? From a talent standpoint yes, but from a mind standpoint it does not appear to be the case. That's why he wants out now. Fichtner is trying to build a more efficient, higher scoring offense and spread the ball around more and AB is having none of that.

That's why I brought up nba players who wow fans in the rs but don't have rings. The 3 players I listed might have had or might have the talent to be on a championship level team but didn't or don't have the brains to play the role required of them on a team at that level, they all wanted or want to dominate the ball more than their skillset will allow on a team at that level. And if they played the role necessary on a title team, their numbers would not look the same, they would not have as many opportunities to wow fans since they wouldn't have the ball in their hands as much.

[Legacy User]

I believe my claim was “generational” not “elite.”

[Havoc]

Excellent hand eye coordination is nothing uncommon, you can see it on playgrounds and organized levels around the country among most ages in all 3 major sports. Those kids and adults don't have the ability to get separation on an nfl field.

Hello!!! Making my point for me: Two trips to the Super Bowl, one Lombardi––who did better in a 5 year period with or without a HOF QB and a talented team? Hell, NOBODY. Maybe you can make a case for Coughlin, but those teams made great playoff runs; weren't necessarily great teams. They matched up great with NE, too.

Who gives a shit vis a vis this argument what happens when you "take away his long runs"? You would be THE FIRST to destroy the argument of "take away his big plays and he sucks" argument.

Now, would they be better off with a fresh voice? New ideas? Different argument. Knocking his track record when it's second during the era of the GOAT HC and GOAT QB... making yourself look silly.

[Legacy User]

We have a good idea on how average AB becomes when Ben is not the qb. He disappeared when Micheal Vick was the quarterback. Even under Landry Jones, AB was just average. He needs Ben's accuracy, strong arm and anticipation to be successful. He's not going to find that with other QB's ..ie....the 'chemistry' he developed with Ben over last 8 years. He's overrated big time without Ben throwing to him.

He has a chance to continue his success:
1. go to a team that schemes him open with better offense
2. play with another great QB: Brady, Wilson, Luck, Rodgers
3. stay in Pgh and humble himself until his career is over or he grows up, whichever comes sooner

Lol, everyone sucked with the corpse of Michael Vick. Come on, man. And Jones is not was not a starting QB.

Weird how no receiver Ben paired with previously comes close to what AB is.

[Kodiak]

over/under on AB with someone other than Ben throwing him the ball: 80 catches, 1000 yards.

I'll take the under on both. Although, it may be interesting to see him in a better designed offense

[Scunge]

Lol, everyone sucked with the corpse of Michael Vick. Come on, man. And Jones is not was not a starting QB.

Funny about that, just give Ben and JuJu time and you will see JuJu shitting all over what Brown has done previously.

Don't believe me??

Look at what Brown did his first two years in the NFL with Ben throwing him the ball.

85 catches for 1,275 yards and 2 TDs. Brown only had 3 100+ yards games those first two seasons. Brown had a mediocre 59.4% catch percentage. Was targeted 143 times those first two seasons and had 85 catches.

Now look at what Ben did with JuJu in his first two seasons. 169 catches for 2,343 yards and 14 TDs. JuJu had 11 100+ yards games. JuJu had a very good 69% catch percentage. He was targeted 245 times and had 169 catches. Brown did not get to 169 catches and 2,343 yards until the 3rd game of his 4th NFL season. Let that sink in for a minute. Also, it took Brown all the way to the 6th game of his 5th NFL season to amass eleven 100+ yard games. JuJu has already done that in just 2 NFL seasons. Again, let that sink in. JuJu is on a historic pace for a Steeler WR that no other player has ever done, not Hines Ward, not Antonio Brown, NOBODY.

Imagine what Ben can do with JuJu over the next 2, 3, 4 seasons. JuJu will easily put up the numbers that Brown has and the offense will be more effective because Ben won't be throwing as many interceptions like he has when targeting Brown.

AB was very good, but I too think he was over-rated. You look at what Ben has done with JuJu the past two seasons and it proves it to me, you give him a talented Wr and he will make him look and play like a HOFer.

[Steelafan77]

Defenses have to scheme/gameplan around Brown more than Smith-Schuster. Don't you think they both have a lot to do with each others success? With Brown on one side drawing double, sometimes triple coverage, Smith-Schuster [usually] having one on one coverage which he is able to beat much of the time. Brown had exactly who on the other side drawing double and sometimes triple coverage? Not trying to take anything away from Smith-Schuster [my most favorite player at this point] just pointing out how they've helped each other become more successful as a team. I agree Smith-Schuster will become a better skill player as he grows too. If defenses aren't having to scheme around Brown and Smith-Schuster starts drawing double coverage how does this affect his success/stats? Who's playing on the other side of Smith-Schuster to draw coverage?

[Scunge]

Steelafan77, to me I don't worry about any of that. It will work itself out.

When Brown had his first 1,000 yard season in 2011, it was Mike Wallace who led the team in catches, yards and TD catches. There was also Hines Ward and Heath Miller still on the team. They didn't help create Brown's success???

JuJu in just his 2nd season had over 100 catches and 1,400+ yards.

Brown it took him until his 4th season to do that, he had 110 catches for 1,499 yards. But we also had Manny Sanders and Cotchery combine for 113 catches that season for almost 1,150 yards and 16 TDs, double of what Brown managed (8).

So, didn't Sanders and Cotchery help create Brown's success??

I am not concerned about Brown being traded because other WRs will step up, Colbert will draft and bring in more talent. Ben has many weapons to lean on besides, Vance McDonald can become more deadly, Jaylin Samuels has the look of a special pass catcher/3rd down back.

JuJu has a complete toolset, there is no limit to what he can do. He is a DeAndre Hopkins type of WR where people get hung up on well he is not this, or not that, not fast enough, blah, blah, blah, and yet you look at what JuJu has done, it doesn't phase him just like Hopkins.

This may be a controversial opinion but I happen to think that JuJu opened things up for Brown the past two years. For all of this talk about how Brown frees up things for JuJu, I think teams were just as concerned about JuJu. I also think that JuJu and the way he was moved around and lined up, playing in the slot, etc, helped to scheme things open for Brown, particularly for touchdowns. Funny how Brown was able to set a career high this past season in touchdown catches with fewer catches overall. The diversification of the offense, spreading the ball around was a big part of that, it wasn't just because Brown was that damn good.

But that obviously goes against the narrative that Brown is otherworldly, nobody works harder, nobody has his hand eye coordination, or his quickness, yada, yada, yada...

[Legacy User]

Scunge, I look forward very much to JuJu being a first ballot lock for the hall of fame who shits all over what AB has done with Ben. It will be wonderful to watch JuJu become one of the top 10 receivers ever to play the game due to him playing with Ben.

I look even more forward to JuJu being a team player who doesn't freak out and pout if he isn't targeted enough, because stats are more important to him than wins.

Agree.

But this is what really pisses me off about AB: he ALREADY has the stats. He has ALREADY cemented himself as one of the all time great receivers (none of you yokels are convincing me otherwise). Why can't he pull his head out of his ass and just get with the distribution program and help the team get a damn ring.

One thing is for certain: if we could put Larry Fitzgerald's character in ABs body, I'd like our SB chances a whole lot more.
