bealeb319 Posted February 12, 2019 Share Posted February 12, 2019 Sounds logical Macc has to be aggressive or else we wind up with nothing with all that cap money. Im all for drafting DJ Metcalf at WR I don't think Brown is right for us. He is very talented but has made some major red flags this past season. He is also on the older side now he belongs with a team that is a real contender in my opinion he is not a player for a team looking to buildSent from my LGUS991 using JetNation.com mobile app Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Macc drafts poorly AB is a proven commodity so is LB acquiring these 2 instantly improves your offense. The cost of a trade for Brown would be multiple picks one being a first round. Maccs future is most likely questionable. Tradeing away future picks is a disaster waiting too happen. Just my opinion. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would imagine his contract will be of the cheap prove it type. Metcalfs biggest hit is that he is slowish he might make a good red zone target but he won't beat guys down the field is my understanding of his talents. I have also read that he has a bit of a laziness to him which is not an ideal trait (admittedly I have not watched him much)Sent from my LGUS991 using JetNation.com mobile app Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think the idea that he's just a giant cancer is over blown. He's also in his 30's and is going to want to use us to get paid (just like Le'veon) plus would cost us a #1.

Internet psychologists are the best. I couldn't care less if you wouldn't want me to be the GM. I'm giving my opinion on a message board - not applying for a GM position. lml Top WR's often have very productive years in their 30's. 30 was how old Randy Moss was when he got traded to the Pats, for example. It's about the age T.O. was when he went to the Eagles. Larry Fitzgerald & Jerry Rice are a couple of other good examples. I would expect someone with a work ethic like Brown to be able to continue into he 30's just fine as long as he's healthy. I guess you'd be more happy with the best defensive tackle at #3 overall instead of Antonio Brown and a solid OL or future WR at #20 overall Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Leveon didn't lose, he'll recoup his money with the contract he signs this year. The Steelers lost. They missed out on the playoffs by trying to run Bell into the ground and avoid paying him the 3-4 year deal he deserved. Now, whether he's a diva or not, they've alienated Brown also. So in two years they'll have lost the best RB and WR in the game. If you call that winning, what does losing look like? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Truth be told Bell wanted to be paid. Question is when he gets his money and he will just how motivated will he be. My hope is he will be,but there have been a number of outstanding players that once paid tanked. Grading the heart of Free Agents is almost as hard as grading draft picks.

But I don't think attitude/chemistry/personality can be completely ignored.

For me, there's enough of a distinction there to support pursuing Bell while also being wary of acquiring Brown. One just hit 30, too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ok, I'll grant you a tight knit locker room is better then a fractioned one. I just don't think many winning rooms are fractured. We could argue the chicken or the egg thing there though. As far as the Kapernick thing, he'd be welcomed into any locker room in the league. I'd bet the vast majority of players support him. He's been blackballed by the league and the owners, not the players. BTW He'll be awarded about a $100 million minimum because of that when he gets his day in court.
