Antonio Brown: Jerry Rice Fans React on Social Media After He Speaks Out
09/10/2019 03:05 pm EDT
Called Out
This fan has a message for Brown after being called out by Rice. The fan said, "@AB84 it's bad when @JerryRice is calling you out... don't burn too many bridges, you may be stuck on an island by yourself."
It's one thing to upset Mike Mayock and Jon Gruden. But when you upset one of the best to ever play, that's never a good thing.
Not Agreeing With Rice
This fan is not understanding that Rice was being sarcastic when he was congratulating Brown. Aaron said, "Congratulating someone for behaving like that is everything that's wrong with sports and sends the wrong message to kids because most people will not become professional athletes and will get fired and be unemployed for his actions. It's why NFL popularity keeps going down."
Garbage
This fan is showing no love for Brown because of how he acted with the Raiders and the Steelers. Cameron said, "Antonio is a garbage human being. This type of attitude is not professional. He got his way like a child... he will be all in for the Patriots because that's what he wanted."
Steelers Fan Weighs In
This Pittsburgh Steelers fan believes Brown would have a hard time fitting in with the Patriots because when it comes down to it, they really don't need him. John said, "Unlikely! When Edelman or other receivers get the ball instead of him, he will throw a fit. Go Steelers!"
Along with Edelman, the Patriots have Josh Gordon and Demaryius Thomas as top targets. So Brown will have to play the Patriot way or he could be cut.
Stats With Raiders
This fan showed the stats Brown recorded during his time with the Raiders. As you can see, Brown registered no catches, no yards, no money made, 12 missed practices, three fines, one illegal helmet, four tantrums two frozen feet and one racial slur.
It's safe to say numbers like that won't get him to the Pro Bowl.
Understanding Rice
This fan seems to understand what Rice was doing with the tweet. The fan wrote, "Yeah great job @AB84 someday your kids will look at all the stories online and see the way you have acted over the last 2 years and be like dang, that's how a guy that has a good head on his shoulders acts. What a role model you are," and he put a clown emoji at the end of the tweet.
Won't be Healed
It might take some time for Brown to get his mind right and be the player he wants to be. James said, "Jerry and all y'all. IF AB is not psychologically damaged then the Raiders got played by him, his agent and the Pats. So how many of you think AB will be suddenly healed? How many think he won't last the season and the Pats get what they deserve?"
Gruden Going After Brown
It would be something to see Gruden going after Brown after having his back all summer. Tyler said, "I'm hoping Gruden goes full Chucky and comes after him legally for recording him and posting it! Just to get the last laugh, I don't know what the criminal implications are but that would be hilarious!"
Disgusted
This fan agrees with Rice in terms of wanting to be a member of the Patriots from the beginning. Brittany said, "Agree. disappointed that this is how it turned out. He's a good player, but there are way better players out there that go the right way. And what AB did was disgusting."
We'll see if Brown can turn things around on Sunday when the Patriots take on the Miami Dolphins.
