IF Payton’s nemesis Roger Goodell would’ve said “AB is clear to play” ... the Saints would’ve insta-signed Brown for the playoff run. Not only did Payton pretty much say this directly, there was no reason to work out Brown if the team truly would never sign him.
I don't pay a lot of attention to All-Decade type stuff but if first team is two WR's it's valid, even without taking into account the off field issues, to leave him off the first team in favor or Julio and Fitz. If he had played this year he likely would have severely outdistanced himself from those two statistically but as is their total production was similar and considering the baggage I'd assume those are you first team All Decade WR's if first team is 2 WR's.
Hard to say. I would think Julio is a stone cold lock for the 1st team. The other WR, if it is not Brown, would likely be Calvin Johnson or maybe Fitz, with one of those two making 2nd team and then maybe Brown makes the 2nd or DeAndre Hopkins sneaks into that other spot. I'd give AJ Green an outside shot as well.

He’s a lock. I doubt they black ball him, but they may mention he lost his mind if there’s a show about it on NFL network.
I get what you are trying to say, but Terrell Owens absolutely has a lasting brand and is highly remembered, and he's rightfully in the HOF. I think Brown is closer to Owens than Johnson, or especially Horn.
Fitzgerald making the team would be a joke. 4 of his 5 best seasons didn't happen this decade.
Is Owens brand a profitable brand? I don't know, maybe it is. I just don't see him on commercials or T.V. but maybe he has a post football life of which I am unaware. Is he marketing his own brand of driveway exercise equipment?
Yeah, it would be a joke for the guy with the most receptions and third most yards in the decade to make the All Decade Team.
Joke was a bit of hyberbole, but in all seriousness, there are a lot of empty calories in there. He's one of only a couple guys to play all 10 seasons of the decade. He's stayed very healthy, only missing 2 games in the decade. That allows counting stats like catches and yards to compile, because he's playing more games. He played almost 2 full seasons more than any other WR. Only Demaryius Thomas, Michael Crabtree, and Julio Jones are within 32 games played of Fitzgerald.
im more looking forward to when people stop bumping this thread. Here's hopin for a AB-less Shark Pool.
In AB's world everything revolves around him, even games that don't involve him in the slightest.
Just curious if you consider Kurt Warner an "absolute bum," seeing how he played with Fitz for 5 seasons. He also played 4-5 years with Carson Palmer. While he wasn't Warner, he was far from terrible. In Palmer's first three years in ARI, the Cards went 29-9. IMO, that's 10 years with a HOF QB and a guy that was a Pro Bowler in Arizona. Yes, the rest of Fitzgerald's QB's were trash. But he had 8-10 seasons with decent QB's to work with.
I don't really have a ton bad to say about Fitz, but IMO he's a little overrated.
I would consider and Anquan Bolden to be an almost all time great receiver. Dude was was a monster and was an important cog for a championship winning Baltimore Ravens team if I’m not mistaken. Which I could be.Anarchy99 said:
I've prob got him in the 10 to 15 range, somewhere with guys like Steve Smith and Chris Carter, similar neighborhood to Fitz.
Just as a FYI . . .
Sean Payton would be happy to have AB on board IF the league cleared him and the team knew he could play from Day 1. While AB is in limbo, though, the Saints won't approach him.
we also learned from this video that he's got a whole lot of booty, and he likes white chicks.
Why would any team with a solid core bring him in? The distraction, attitude, and complete lack of self-awareness would keep me from bringing him in.
Rosenhaus and some national reports have referenced during the season that 3 teams in particular were interested in signing him, with the holdup being the league. I think we got a good handle of two of those teams. Seattle and New Orleans so no I would not list them as being out on him. Those are reasonable places to start. I don't know the third team but speculate it was desperate for WR need Philly. With a full offseason it's possible those teams procure WR help in another way but then some teams will lose WR's so new teams other then the 3 this year should have some level of interest in him but these seem list most logical places to speculate.
