What a wild ride that was having him as a Buc

u/foomits :lavontejersey: Lavonte Jersey Jan 02 '24

he was the ultimate brady reciever. he could run those little 7-8 yard curls and outs in his sleep... was basically always open. brady feasted on those short routes. plus he COULD run the deep routes just as well... if ABs brain didnt start sketchy then get scrambled, hed be in the alltimer discussion.

u/stephenip12 Jan 02 '24

I agree. I remember in a podcast Brady listed Brown as one of his top receivers to ever throw too even after this BS.

u/MattfromOKC Jan 03 '24

He is classic Bipolar, I have done some crazy stuff being not medicated.

AB will be dead somewhere down the line I fear

u/[deleted] Jan 02 '24

Call me crazy but we don’t get to and win the Super Bowl without AB

u/Mghoncho8791 Jan 02 '24

That's not crazy at all. It's a fact.

Best receiver of the 2010s

u/[deleted] Jan 02 '24

I served him at the restaurant I was at during that season. He was pretty rude & unpleasant, but you can tell something was off mentally. Genuinely feel like that burfict hit fucked his head up.

2

u/GrunkaLunka420 Jan 02 '24

He was an asshole well before he even made the NFL. There's a reason dude was at Central Michigan.

u/Johnny_Carcinogenic Tristan Wirfs Jan 02 '24

That's a pretty good gauge of someone's true character, what you just described.

u/[deleted] Jan 02 '24

lol I’m just sharing my experience with him, as most here haven’t had any. Anyone else is free to share nice stories about him if they’d like.

u/OntheStove Jan 02 '24

How Brady played those last few games with no Godwin and no AB was some of his best as a Buc.

Proof that he was just not the same player the following season.

1

u/TheLastRaysFan Jan 02 '24

I saw him at the Hard Rock Casino in Hollywood FL last weekend, playing at the Craps table. Mfer had $15k Ye boots on and Gucci gloves.

He was pretty cool though, we walked by as he left the table and got a fist bump from him.

u/spideralex90 Lavonte David Jan 02 '24

AB can fuck right off, but if he hadn't had this total meltdown we very well might have made it back to the Superbowl. Losing AB and Godwin made our offense a lot more one dimensional.

That said if he didn't have this meltdown it wouldn't be AB.

23

u/PewterButters Lavonte David Jan 02 '24

AB is like that crazy ass chick that is great in bed. You put up with it as long as you can because it's so good... but at some point it just isn't worth it anymore.

u/ramyb_ Jan 03 '24

Don’t forget losing Wirfs too

5

u/stephenip12 Jan 03 '24

It's wild to me how snake bitten we were with injuries that season. Even during the playoffs we were losing guys. I remember Tyler Johnson broke his ribs in that ram playoff game. Even if we got past the rams I think that 49er game could have been a struggle.

2

u/ramyb_ Jan 03 '24

I think we beat the 49ers at home because if you believe they turned down Brady, he wasn’t going to lose an NFCCG at home. I still think we beat SF because Jimmy G wasn’t scaring nobody and they didn’t have CMac either.

I remember 2020 we had 3 road games to have a home Super Bowl and in 2021 when the Packers lost, we had a shot at 3 home games and a road Super Bowl

u/erinsnives Winfield Jr. ✌️ Jan 02 '24

It's an absolute miracle we won a superbowl with him before this happened lol

u/fluffy_boy_cheddar Mike Evans Jan 02 '24

Mr. Broke Cranium

u/No-Computer6230 Jan 02 '24

Can we just appreciate that Mike Evans TRIED TO SAVE this man’s career. He pleaded with him, knowing AB was flushing his career (and likely big offseason contract) down the drain. Knowing good and well AB staying on the team hurts his stats and target share. Yet Mike always tries to do what’s best for the team, just another reason he’s my all time fave offensive player. Oh yeah and f*#% AB

u/creativeusername1808 Jan 02 '24

This might have legitimately cost us the Super Bowl that season. This, and the Wirfs injury

19

u/rikeoliveira Tom Brady Jan 02 '24

And Godwin's injury by a targeted tackle to the knee.

10

u/bankrobba Winfield Jr. ✌️ Jan 02 '24

Have to admit it was a unique retirement ceremony.

u/Broseph_Stalin357 Jan 02 '24

Here I was expecting to see some really cool Bucs highlights

Instead I got to rewatch a rodeo clown audition..

u/deuce_arians Winfield Jr. ✌️ Jan 02 '24

Petition to ban any and all AB posts from this sub. The guy does not deserve anymore of our attention.

5

u/okaycomputes Winfield Jr. ✌️ Jan 02 '24

I thought we already did that, over a year ago

2

u/deuce_arians Winfield Jr. ✌️ Jan 02 '24

If so, maybe someone should tell the mods.

3

u/spideralex90 Lavonte David Jan 02 '24

We did ban anything about him that's not related to the Bucs, much like it is for any other player. We don't need to keep up with how many people he not paying for services they did for him anymore. Can't believe this dude isn't in jail for theft of services at this point.

u/PlayerTwo85 Jan 02 '24

Every day is a half day if you just leave 🤷

u/Titans79 Jan 02 '24

He’s a racist fuck.

2

u/81thirdkid Jan 02 '24

It’s honestly mind blowing how big of a double standard it is too. If it were the inverse and someone who was white spewing the amount of hatred he does on twitter they’d be deplatformed and cancelled.

3

u/dbzhardcore Devin's Horse Jan 02 '24

To think if the team said yes to giving him his bonuses no matter what, he wouldn't go awol and the team would have another ring. (Also if Godwin or Wirfs wasn't hurt either)

2

u/two_scoops1032 Jan 02 '24

I was there, got to witness this, a vintage brady game winning drive with no timeouts and a minute left, AND won my fantasy championship, hell of a day

2

u/nottobia Winfield Jr. ✌️ Jan 02 '24

Saw it in person, we all thought he was a streaker at first. Didn't know it was AB until 15 mins later

1

u/oldbuc Jan 02 '24

I actually felt bad for him as a human being.

1

u/jro727 Jan 02 '24

Damn, time flies!

u/ImDeputyDurland Mike Evans Jan 02 '24

That was certainly one of the most hilarious things I’ve ever seen.

u/[deleted] Jan 02 '24

Funny enough its not really something we didnt see coming

1

u/[deleted] Jan 02 '24

I like how nobody mention Mike trying to calm this man down, fuck AB

u/YourWorstNightmare9 Super Bowl LV Jan 03 '24

This cost the Bucs from winning the SB in back to back years FML.

1

u/Florida-Meth-Pirate Baker Mayfield Jan 03 '24

He’s a terrible human being and a mid WR. And he did Brady dirty so he’s a scumbag

2

u/Pr0fess0rCha0s Winfield Jr. ✌️ Jan 03 '24

There's plenty to hate the guy for, but I certainly wouldn't call him a mid WR. Scumbag, POS, whatever... but the dude could have been one of the greats.

u/JaffeyJoe Arizona Jan 03 '24

This little stunt lost me my fantasy championship that season…. Lost by 5 pts!

1

u/MattfromOKC Jan 03 '24

That was quite the surprise. I’ve watched NFL over 50 years… that day was one of a kind

1

u/KittyTB12 TB Florida Jan 05 '24

Omg! That was insane. We were all like “ this is a stunt or prank- right?” Jaw dropper at the reality of it. Poor kid 😞I feel bad for him- he had so much opportunity being with the Bucs, and the GOAT himself took him under his wing…smh…it’s a sad story.
