Antonio Brown is one of the best wide receivers to ever play the game. Hardly a ball was ever missed that came his way. He even once made a catch while tumbling in mid-air, upside down.
He made Roethlisburger look good. Better than he really is. Ben is a mediocre to poor QB who occasionally plays well enough to allow people to dismiss the bad playing as a fluke. AB made Ben look good by catching everything that came his way. Then a couple years ago, AB disappeared. Ben stopped throwing to him and Brown all but disappeared from the games. The official story was that AB was getting so double-covered that Ben had to find other people.
That's not to say that AB doesn't have an ego as big as his talent.
But there is something VERY WRONG at Pittsburgh with the Art Rooney II / Mike Tomlin / Ben Roethlidsberger leadership:
Where had that been these past two seasons?
Brown showed he still had his razzle-dazzle in spades to the world, then he quit playing for the Steelers. Now he's made jackasses out of the Steelers in both his social media antics and remarks, making the Steelers owner come to him in Florida only to throw mud in his face, he's cost the Steelers millions, and gone to a team he likes better.
MY PREDICTION: Brown and the Raiders QB will develop a system of timing and communication just as he did with Ben. Brown will fashion himself the new centerpiece of a totally revamped Raiders offensive team and they will come out explosive for the 2019 season, a force to recon with. And Pittsburgh got shit for him.
AB will make it a point to play his best and be the superstar for Oakland that he once was for Pittsburgh--- --- just to make the point. That he WAS right all along, and Ben Roethlisburger, with maybe one or two mediocre seasons left under his belt, WAS the problem all along.
And who can say about Bell. I predict he'll turn up somewhere and do well, too.
BYE BYE to Pittsburgh's "Killer B's:"
GONE is Antonio Brown.
GONE is LeVeon Bell
And for that matter, so is once great FG kicker Chris Bosewell.
All that is left of it is the weakest link in the chain Big Ben. The once irresistible force Killer B's never even made it to a Championship playoff. I know people like to point the finger at the individual players, but a PATTERN HAS DEVELOPED in Pittsburgh that is impossible to ignore: Mike Tomlin's hapless leadership. Next up to walk out on the Steelers: Ju-Ju Smith-Schuster, their great white hope for replacing Brown. He is no AB just as Conner is no Bell. And Ben is one serious injury away from calling it quits with no good replacement in sight.
The Steelers and Tomlin have fucked it all up again. And been made to look the horse's ass Tomlin and the ownership really are.

But there is something VERY WRONG at Pittsburgh with the Art Rooney II / Mike Tomlin / Ben Roethlidsberger leadership:
- A few years ago, great RB LaGarrette Blount walked off the field mid-game and left. Traded to the Pats to help win the next Super Bowl.
- Then after that, great DT James Harrison started acting up until he forced the Steelers to let him go.
- Last year, one of the best RBs in the game, LeVeon Bell walked out on the Steelers and missed an entire season rather than come back to the Steelers.
- Now arguably the best WR in the game, at least as of a year or two ago, Antonio Brown forces a trade all the while doing everything possible to minimize what they got in return.
