And we’re surprised? We traded the best receiver in the NFL for Donte Moncreif.
Obviously that did not literally happen; however, last year we had Antonio Brown, problems and receptions alike. This year we have Moncreif.
I’d like to take the yinzer blinders off for a second and truly respect the talent behind the crazy. And to be honest, while five minutes of seeing this guy on “Hard Knocks” or seeing an interview, it’s easy to say this guy isn’t the most intelligent.
But the fact remains that he is talented enough to make his own decisions, at marginal expense to his pocketbook, but from the standpoint of someone working seven days a week just to scrape by, once you’re in the seven and eight figures, does it really matter?
Yes, all of AB’s BS may have been contrived to get him to New England. But, with or without AB, New England is great — as evidenced by our first game.
So, let us move on as well, without hate or mockery, or with those things, because it really doesn’t matter. AB’s gonna do what AB wants to do. And he has the talent to do so.
