Jon Gruden's Final Words for Antonio Brown Have Social Media Firing Off
09/10/2019 03:08 pm EDT
Got His Way
Love him or hate him, Antonio Brown was able to get his way when it was all said and done. Dave said, "He might be crazy, but he acted the fool to get where he wanted to be."
Brown was able to join the team he wanted to join, but it's very possible thing won't go the way he planned it because the Patriots don't need him. So he will have to turn things around or he will be gone.
Calling Out Gruden
This fan questions the coaching ability of Gruden. He said, "Gruden is a .500 coach. Never understood the fascination with him and the so-called Genius title."
Gruden has a 100-93 record as of Monday and he did win a Super Bowl when he was with the Tampa Bay Buccaneers in 2002. But since winning the big game, Gruden has struggled to get anything going, so this year will be very crucial for him.
Predictions for Brown
This fan is predicting big numbers for the former All-Pro receiver. Anthony said, "And it will turn out great... AB 1500 yard, 12 TD's..."
It's very likely Brown will have a big season, especially with Brady throwing the ball. It's also possible Brown throws another tantrum and be cut by the Patriots before he gets started.
Never Part of Raiders
Brown's time with the Raiders was non-existent according to this fan. Mike said, "Brown was never really part of Raiders. They practiced and played without him the whole preseason. He is a nut case and he will be a nut in NE."
It's going to be very interesting how Brown fits in with the Patriots. They have been winning for a long time and they will not put up with any of Brown's antics.
Making Up Lost Money
It's very likely Brown can make up the $30 million of guaranteed money he lost with the Raiders. The fan said, "Mr.Bigg Chest can recoup that 30 million with 10 this year and guaranteed 20 million next yr...Tick Tick Tick..."
It would be interesting if Brown performs well and the Pats pick up his option for next year. If that happens, then it would be clear he wanted to be in New England.
Brown Will Be Fine
This fan had to remind everyone that the Patriots have had their share of issues as well. The fan said, "You are talking about a team that went through 2 scandals, Spygate and Deflategate and another involving a player convicted of murder. You think that a possible diva receiver is going to destroy the team? You haven't been paying attention."
Belichick will be fine
Patriots head coach Bill Belichick should be able to handle Brown according to this fan. Johnny said, "The difference being Belichick knows how to handle players."
This what makes Belichick a great coach. He knows how to handle big personalities and get everyone to be on the same page. It's one of the reasons why he has won six Super Bowls with the Patriots.
Questioning the Raiders
This fan is wondering if the Raiders did the right thing with Brown. The fan said, "Raiders say they support him during his issues but then antagonize him with 'all in or all out' ultimatum, then fine arguably the hardest working player in-game for missing a few practices during issues."
We'll see how everything plays out. But it looks like we are in for a very fun 2019 season.
