Antonio Brown 

Post#1 » by Celtsfan1980 » Sun May 24, 2015 7:42 pm

From what I can tell he doesn't get much media attention, but as a Jerry Rice fan I fear his records could be in jeopardy later on possibly because of Brown. When does he start getting the recognition as being a truly elite wide receiver?

he is way too short to get all time recognition. he is inevitably going get slower as he gets older and his game will be shot or limited to slot.

I would rest easy. Big Ben probably has two or three years left on him at which point Antonio Brown will go the way of post-Steeler Mike Wallace.

I disagree here. While Brown is NO threat to Rices records......like zero threat, he is a great route runner and is extremely fundamental. Wallace was all speed. Brown is fast but he's so much more than that. I feel he'll make our next qb better.

He's a good receiver but there are like 10 other receivers that are bigger threats to Jerry Rice(and even none of them will likely come close).
Eric Maynor is the worst basketball player I've ever seen.

The great thing about Rice was he had the receptions, yardage, touchdowns, and playoff success. Bryant has touchdowns but not the yardage Rice had. Johnson and Green have the yardage but not the touchdowns. It's possible his records will be broken especially in the pass-happy league of today, but it likely won't be by the same person who has no weaknesses the way Rice did. As far as the GOAT receiver I think Rice will remain number 1 for a very long time.

I don't think anyone will touch Rice's record for a long time either, but I do agree that Brown is underrated. I think he's a top 3 WR in the game today along with Calvin Johnson and Dez.
