How does consistent 1,300 yds/11 TDs a year detract from someone's value, no diminution of his skills and impeccable hands? If any of this distraction hearsay narrative is true, then that's an indictment on the rest of the organization and QUARTERBACK for lack of team control bc when OBJ's between those white lines, he performs above and beyond.

Antonio Brown is the best WR in the league. Odell/Julio are sorta close 2nds.

So if this was you, you would walk into the negotiation demanding a smaller number? Why not want to be the highest paid player?

Im sure the management loves to hear this instead of his goal to win a superbowl.

I would walk in with a high-end reasonable number, not 25mil/year. That's laughable.

Antonio's a midget out there, Larry, Demaryius and Julio are 6'3 220 by definition they are of a greater quality and the numbers support the eye test.

It's just wasting time and effort. I remember when Denver and Dallas colluded to drive down the WR market price with the Dez/Demaryious contracts a few years ago

Brown's 17M is basically the ceiling and that was a generous deal PIT gave Brown with added bonuses. I'm sure OBJ will get something similar but I'm not familiar with their FO.

The numbers support that those two players are currently better than Julio and AB?

Give it a shot, statman.

How can you say this then completely dismiss Brown? Brown is on an insane 4 year run. Only Rice and probably Moss have a more impressive run imo. But then again I know who I'm responding to Carry on

Based off talent, it's those 3 guys and Larry/Demaryius did gain 1,000 yards receiving in 2016 so we can't dismiss that and the greatest receiver of 2016 was Julio Jones and I acknowledge that.

Hit us with your stat argument that says DT and Fitz are better than AB and Julio. Don't back away now.

ETA: I'll do you a solid. Here are the stats. Now tell me how the stats support your argument.

For somebody who likes to tout off stats you're sure lacking in this thread.

Brown has 481 receptions over the last four seasons. That's with Mike Vick and Landry tossing him the ball too might've even seen some Leftwich action at the start of his run. And he's not your short guy who likes up in the slot. He's split out wide a lot.

Antonio's only 5'10, the receivers i presented are 6'3 220 beasts on the field. Antonio's one of the greatest in football now and will likely be a first-ballot HOFer but Odell's 1,300 yds/double-digit TDs per year, crazy production.

Look up the words "best" and "greatest" in the dictionary and you'll better comprehend my position

So the only stats in support of your opinion that Demaryius Thomas is better than Antonio Brown is that he's bigger?

OBJ is 5'11" to Brown's 5'10".

You're the biggest try hard on this board. At least Boom is an admitted troll.

A. I know what those words mean.
B. What do those words have to do with your position that Demaryius Thomas is better than Antonio Brown? You said stats supported it, so let's see it.
