JetNation Posted July 28, 2016 Share Posted July 28, 2016 Can Brandon Marshall have an even better season than last year? Marshall wasted no time expressing his confidence with his starting quarterback in the building. Thursday morning Marshall issued a challenge to Pittsburgh Steelers wide receiver Antonio Brown from the Jets’ facility via Instagram. Marshall wagered his Porsche that he’ll top Brown in receiving yards this season, if he does then Brown would turn over his Rolls Royce and vice versa. Last season Marshall totaled 1,502 receiving yards while Brown was second in the league with 1,834, that’s a 332 yard difference. While out gained in yards, Marshall had 14 touchdown receptions last season whereas Brown only had 10. Marshall would have been better off making a wager for touchdowns as opposed to yards. The odds aren’t in his favor, at age 32 Marshall would likely need to conjure up a career season to best Brown. See Antonio Brown's Rolls-Royce? So did Brandon Marshall. And he's putting his Porsche on the line to try to get it: https://t.co/16m7VRTw4Q — ESPN (@espn) July 28, 2016 “AB man, I seen your boys driving those Rolls Royces at camp. We’ll show you how we do it in New York, man. We ride these Porsches, bro. Talk about going fast, Let’s race for pinks bro, any day. Or, you know what I’m saying, if you have more receiving yards than me, I’ll give you the Porsche. If I have more receiving yards than you, then you gotta give me the Rolls-Royce. Check it out.” Marshall added a little extra emphasis to the bet by adding another post to Instagram directed towards the Steelers’ star wide receiver: “@ab I’ve never seen you back down from a challenge. #race4pinks.” TMZ was able to reach Brown regarding the wager. Brown seemed willing to accept, but also hesitant by the way in which Marshall proposed the bet: “”He don’t really wanna do that. He just wants some PR. He’s too old to be doing that.” Brown said “The RR is about $100k up (compared to the Porsche) If he’s really serious, call me… I’ll gladly accept. Don’t Internet it.” It was a bold move by Marshall who will be joining his teammates, including Ryan Fitzpatrick, for their first training camp practice Thursday. Click here to read the full story...

bealeb319 Posted July 29, 2016 Share Posted July 29, 2016 I honestly think Marshall stands half a chance of not Ben is injured for most of the season. He probably will end up losing the car in this bet but if it makes him play harder for us... Sent from my LG-D850 using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rangers9 Posted July 29, 2016 Share Posted July 29, 2016 At first I thought it was just a lot of fun. And the guy expressing enthusiasm esp when his Qb returned on Thursday. I'm sure the league wouldn't let them do it anyways. But when you look at the stats for both guys esp Brown they were unusually high. And a good chance neither player will repeat those numbers. I mean Brown had over 1800 yards. As all of you know some games the plan is to run first and the Wrs are not the priority. And the Jets Rbs are very good receivers, too. And other games they will use Decker or someone else more than Marshall depending on the game plan and coverages. We know that Marshall is a diva we just hope that winning games is more important to him than getting stats or winning bets. I'm pretty sure that it is. Some games if Fitz throws for 120 yards but we win by 14 points I think everyone would take that esp Fitz. Those are the days it's better to be a good game manager than a hero.

jgb Posted August 3, 2016 Share Posted August 3, 2016 Interesting prop bets for most receiving yards in 2016: Antonio Brown is the favorite at +350 Brandon Marshall is at +3300 If Marshall beats out Brown, good chance he is the league leader. So you can get yourself a Porsche if Marshall wins by putting $1,500 on him (Boxter) or $3,000 (911 Carrera 4S) http://www.oddsshark.com/nfl/nfl-2016-most-receiving-yards-props-odds Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
