In your opinion, who has the tougher road ahead of them......

Juju
Antonio 'Captain Kmart' Brown
LeVeon 'There's a crack in the' Bell

Brown no longer has a franchise QB throwing to him. Has to learn a new system. Doesn't have much of any talent to take the pressure off him. This guy thinks he's the only thing that matters on any team, so how long before he turns on his new team???

Bell doesn't have the all pro line in front of him anymore. Also has to learn a new system. Also not much of any talent around him. Has a head coach that really doesn't want him there. Not as big of an ego manic as the guy stated above, but it's none the less just as toxic to a locker room.

Juju very young kid, and still has a lot to learn. He will have all the attention on him now being the number one receiver. :lol: I guess I'm to much of a homer, because I can't think of much negative to say about the kid. He's got a great leader in Ben to help him out, teammates that are really coming together after the off-season crap, and the love this city has four this kid for the things he does......the sky is the limit.

It's a tough call, so who do you think struggles the most???

Fairly easy for me...Bell was my vote.

Juju...the biggest thing he has to deal with imo is being doubled and not getting frustrated. Between McDonald, Moncrief, Conner and the other young weapons to go with a future HOF QB who probably feel like he needs to prove something.

Brown...Carr is not Ben and not even close, but he's got some skills and Brown is going to get targeted early and often. His issue will be losing...been on a winner nearly every season he's played.

Bell...it's out now, the HC really didn't want him. That's a lot to overcome out of the gates for a personality like Bell's. The Jets OL is not great, 2nd yr QB, and there are not a ton of quality WRs to take pressure off the run game...Bell could have 1200 ys rushing and 600 yd receiving on a team with maybe 7 wins.

Juju, ab distraction

No double teams opposite him

Saying he’s the man now.

Possibly declining more Ben.

He’s young

Psych & ATL summed it up perfectly... Nothing really to add but my choice:

Bell

In a landslide. Rust from a year off, injury risk, subpar o-line, and a staff that doesn’t want him. Very tough hill to climb for him.

AB will get his... kicking & screaming. He will. But how will that sit when his team is 4 or 5 wins in January? Bleached mustache would be imminent.

Well I was just messin with ya, but sayin AB is going to be a distraction to Juju was pretty silly. Sounds more pessimistic to go with the least obvious choice of the 3.

I went back and forth on Bell and Brown. I voted for Brown, but I actually think Bell because I think he'll see the bigger drop-off.

I do, however, think Brown will be the most miserable.

I honestly wonder how long it will take for Antonia & Gruden to start clashing with one another, if it hasn’t started already. Gruden seems like the type of coach that would deliberately shun AB with benchings or something to prove a point.

I think attitudes will also play in here. Bell seems more laid back and care-free and now just happy he's gotten his money (even if it means deluding himself into thinking missing his pay checks from 2018 were worth it). Brown's got the huge ego and Gruden won't put up with him when he pouts over not getting stats. Easy to see Brown getting FOMO of the Steelers sooner rather than later.
