Re: Antonio Bryant
 

[QUOTE=skin4Life28]A lot of people are questioning why the Browns are letting him go. Here are a couple reasons: Kellen Winslow will be back and Braylon Edwards is there main threat. He wasn't going to be to much of a factor in there offense or lack there of. No sense in paying a guy a lot of money who isn't going to get that many balls thrown his way. Just a couple things to think about, just don't go jumping the gun assuming hes a cancer and thats why there letting him go.[/QUOTE]

um, there's 2 starting receiver spots, not one ;) it works fine in STL, ARI, IND, OAK, and gives you depth in case of injury. If he's leaving because he wants peyton money than i definately don't want to be the guy signing him for it.

Re: Antonio Bryant
 

You don't let a "young stud" go just because you have two relatively unproven guys coming back to the lineup, sorry not buying that.

I can't believe we have a 5 page thread going about Antonio Bryant. It must be the offseason.

We let a "young stud" go last year in pierce. Bryant could possibly be the same situation for the Browns

I would hardly put Bryant in the class of "young stud". 1 year, come on people, 1 year of ok play. Peerless price had one year, and everyone thought he was the next big thing, is he even playing in the NFL? Pierce is another one hard to put into that catagory. He had one good year, he was on his way to another one, but is her Urlacher, tupu, quality, or even top 15 in the NFL. doubt it. There was a reason we didn't give him all the money he wanted. There wasn't alot of difference in his abilities compared to Marshall. I also believe they had plans for McCune, who is going to get alot of looks this coming camp and preseason.

pierce isn't a physical monster, but he knows how to ue what he has. We let him go becausse marshall could do the same thing for a lot less money and mccune IS a beast if he can learn the position. Pierce is a good player though and he'll be a starter for years (and NY REALLY needed him). I do think he's even with tupu, though not guys like Ur etc. I don't think the browns have a plan B guy ready to go though... you can't start more than one MLB in a 4-3, but you can always use 2-3 good WRs, so its a different situation.

"young stud" is in quotes for a reason.

Judging by this thread some people seem to think he'd fall into that category, I was simply stating if he was such a "young stud" why would the Browns be letting him walk so easily when they don't have many other proven playmakers?

Re: Antonio Bryant
 

[QUOTE=Dirtbag359]Heres a possible #2 guy that I haven't heard a lot about on the forum. He had 69 catches for over a 1000 yards with Dilfer and Frye throwing to him and apparently the Browns don't want to pay him big money (which from now on should be Synders nickname). Remember a few years ago he was going to be the Cowboys next big thing at Wide out. With that said I'm pretty sure he would relish the oppurtunity to play the Cowboys twice a year (especially since he had a fallout with Bill Parcells). Plus the DC area is kinda close to Pittsburgh where he played college ball. Is this our guy or what? Oh yeah did I mention the guys 6'2?[/QUOTE]
Antonio Bryant is an interesting prospect considering Dilfer was his QB last year. What if Norv had has his way and drafted Dilfer instead of Heath Shuler? Oh, yeah, about Bryant, he would be a nice addition if Gibbs thought he wouldn't be a problem. I think all WRs are a little quirky and a fight with Parcells isn't going to keep him off my team. He has good size and speed and would fit nicely with Patten in 3 WR set. He has been way more productive than Koren Robinson and Randel El with a lesser QB tossing the ball. If he wants to be a Redskin, sign me up.

Read This interview with Bryant and then tell me what you guys think....

Re: Antonio Bryant
 

If that interview isn't just to drive up his asking price, I would seriously think that he's matured significantly since the last time we heard from him.

Re: Antonio Bryant
 

Good article. Good find.

Re: Antonio Bryant
 

[QUOTE=Redskins8588]If he is such a cancer then why did he have a decent year with cleveland? After he left dallas he seemed to be fine. Maybe he did not like the way fat ass "TUNA" was treating him in dallas... I think that he would be a fine fit here. Yeah he blew up on Parcelles, so what? You didn't hear him blowing up on Davis or Romeo. Also, he is young this is only like his 4th or 5th year. I say that we should at least give him a look.

How can you compare Bryant, who is entering his 5th year, to an old washed up deion who was in his 12th year? Big difference...[/QUOTE]

It's my understanding that Joe Gibbs has an aura around him that parcells doesn't. There is no mutinous chatter in the locker room. There is no keyshawn bitching on the side. There are no attitude problems. Players tend to take on characteristics of the team (w/ a few extreme exceptions....*cough *cough T.O. *cough). A player that seems to fit w/ the browns I don't see being an issue as far as character. Washington is a team with class and players on the bubble will follow suit w/ the team.

Re: Antonio Bryant
 

i think he has a shitty attitude, and hes not even that good,maybe a third wide out for us but definately not 2, we need to get someone better than him, boldin would be my choice

Re: Antonio Bryant
 

Do you guys think were gonna have enough money to sign any free agents? We still have resign all our guys first and draft picks. Theres no way we are gonna pick up a guy like Bryant who wants big money

Re: Antonio Bryant
 

staylor..... What? how do you suppose we get Boldin?

Bigm we have produced miracles before, maybe we can again.... I'm kinda nervous though. Plus read the article I posted up earlier he said he doesn't want money as much as he wants to win, were a playoff team on the come up, I can see him comming here to be in the playoffs

Re: Antonio Bryant
 

problem with bryant even in that interview, what happens if patten bumps him to #3? does he get pissy and want a trade again? cause that interview made it seem like he might.

Re: Antonio Bryant
 

is this guy still a FA?? he is a hell of a better option than Reche Caldwell..

[QUOTE=Big Boss;352076]is this guy still a FA?? he is a hell of a better option than Reche Caldwell..[/QUOTE]
This guy is bad news. He played for the Niners last year and got busted for DUI, he's a got a bad history. Not worth the gamble, he's got talent but his head is not right. Can you say David Boston? What a waste of 2 talented receivers if they got their shit together.

Re: Antonio Bryant
 

yeahh anton'

[QUOTE=Big Boss;352076]is this guy still a FA?? he is a hell of a better option than Reche Caldwell..[/QUOTE]

The fact that he is still available at this point ought to be a clue as to how much of a better option he is. Maybe you meant to say that hell is a better option than this guy.

also he was with the Yankees, Braves, Reds and Giants in MLB.

This isn't me. I'm assuming it's my cousin... but whatever.


yay.

Re: Antonio Bryant
 

I think no one should rush to judge this guy. When he played in dallas, billy p. probably said something to totally disrespect him. Now think about it, who hear would want the tuna to disrespect them? He is lucky he hasn't had more things thrown at him over the years he has coached. Alot of players that the tuna has coached have said that he is an SOB to play under. He verbally assaults players all the time.

Re: Antonio Bryant
 

Bryant is a very talented WR with a very short fuse.

He was released from Dallas because he assaulted (or attempted) Bill Parcells in the coaches first year. I don't mean calling him names. He threw his Jersey in Parcells face and tried to get to him. If it was not for team mates holding him down, he was going after the head coach.

Bryant was taken away from practice by police and security, and never set foot on team property again.

Oh and the ONLY reason he even got a job in Cleveland was because of the defensive coordinator there at the time....Dave Campo who, coincidentally was a head coach in Dallas that drafted him. He was supposed the be the heir apparent to Michael Irvin.

The guy has talent, granted. But not enough to risk that short fuse he has.
Another example of million dollar talent attached to a two-cent head.

Re: Antonio Bryant
 

Yeah sandtrapjack, money has a strange way of corrupting people. Hell, sometimes that doesn't matter, if you were a peice of crap BEFORE your first NFL paycheck, you will probably be a peice of crap after your first NFL paycheck as well.
