I'm also not sure he hasn't hit a point that a contender may not want to risk it . He's not simply a distraction anymore.  He had yet another legal issue over the weekend . He quit on his teammates the final week . If you are San Francisco, it's worth the risk.  New England?  Not so sure.

Well, it's pretty clear the guy has issues. He clearly doesn't respect Mike Tomlin at all and he clearly hates Ben Roethlisberger. Honestly, Tomlin created the monster. Tomlin had many opportunities when Brown was a young player to put him in check. He never did. Tomlin let him walk all over him from the word go. Tomlin wants to be buddies with his players, and that never works. As far as Brown hating, Roethlisberger well I can't say I blame him. Not sure there has been a bigger douche in pro sports history than Big Ben.
I tend to disagree completely on the last part. If you're San Fran- it's probably not worth the risk at all. Very small chance of controlling that massive ego and very good chance of him fracturing that young, impressionable locker room and disrespecting and walking all over that young yet to prove anything coach Kyle Shannahan. Brown walks into San Fran he's the biggest star in the locker room. He's the guy. Right away. Pornstar Jimmy has played in 7 games in 5 years and proven absolutely nothing. That's his entire resume. 7 games in 5 years. Has there been a more over-hyped, over-blown player in sports history than this guy? I think not. Kyle Shannahan has done absolutely nothing as a head coach. Brown would walk into that locker room and own it. Day one. Brown walks into New England- he knows who the boss is right away. Belichik is the boss and Brady is Belichik's sheriff in the locker room. It's their way or the highway. Brown is a piss ant nothing compared to those two. And there's no getting around it. He has no weight to throw around there. He's one of the great players in the NFL right now- but he is absolutely nothing compared to those two guys. He does it their way or he's gone. To me there's basically no risk for New England and nothing but risk for the 49ers.

Well if the Pats are giving up a No1 they certainly are risking something.And if he's willing to walk away from the Steelers,I'm thinking team achievements/objectives aren't his thing.If he took a contract on incentives then I'd say go for it

Anybody got opinions/insight on why Todd Gurley didn't get more work last Sunday.IMO he was still banged up or Sean McVay simply out thought himself

[FearlessF]

Belichik has a proven record with troublemakers coming to the Pats and then being a good teammate and contributing

Randy Moss and Cory Dillon and LeGarrette Blount come to mind.  None of them required a 1st round pick.

Flacco traded to the Broncos

Flacco traded to the Broncos

LOL @ the Broncos.
Flacco is truly terrible. He has always been terrible for the most part. Love the nickname Skip Bayless gave him- Joe Fluke-O. Guy had a couple of fluke performances in the playoffs. Everything else about him has been, well, bad.
Says a lot that a raw barely adequate passer like Lamar Jackson could come in as a rookie and turn that thing around in Baltimore after it had been floundering with Flacco the helm. Even getting a 7th round pick for Flacco would be fleecing the Broncos.
When is John Elway just going to draft a god damn QB? Kinda funny how one of the great QB's of all-time can build an entire roster year after year into a playoff caliber unit with the exception of finding a legit QB. Only success he's had is with a Rent-A-Peyton. Peyton with one leg and one bum arm is 10x better than Joe Flacco.
You have the #10 pick, John. TRADE UP and take Dwayne Haskins. Most all of the teams in the 9 spots ahead of you aren't looking for a QB. There's really only one team dying for a QB ahead of you and that's the Giants. Trading for Flacco is just sad.

So he's like the Harbaugh of the NFL, never able to find and develop his own QB, just relying on transfers/trades/free agency?

maybe Harbaugh in his time at Michigan, sure.
Before Michigan, Jim had a great track record of developing QB's. U of San Diego with Josh Johnson, Andrew Luck at Stanford, and Colin Kapernick with the 49ers in the NFL. I'd say that's a pretty god damn impressive resume. Did tiny little USD ever produce an NFL draft pick let alone QB before Johnson? Andrew Luck was considered the best NFL draft QB prospect since Elway. Before the injuries and the controversy and before Harbaugh left- for a good 3 year stretch there Kapernick was looking like the future of the NFL at QB. He was a flat out star. Sports writers like Whitlock were proclaiming him as the next John Elway.
Jim's failures to develop a QB of his own in 4 seasons at Michigan has been pretty frustrating. He did inherit a shit sandwich, but it's looking more and more like his first hand-picked QB- Brandon Peters- has been a giant dud. McCaffrey looks promising however. Hard to be upset with Rudock- he was a stabilizing and steady force- without him year 1 would've been ugly. Speight and O'Korn both truly sucked. Patterson is pretty good, he's got the potential to breakthrough into great. Needs that offense to get revamped, needs more throwing opportunities per game, and he needs more targets to his studly crew of WIDE RECEIVERS. Less TE's, please.

Skip Clueless has a lot of nerve getting condescending with someone's name.At least once in his life Flacco can at least say for one year he was the best.No one outside of a meth lab,asylum or Screamin' A Smith would ever blurt that out about the polluted rube Skip
