Antonio Brown is back with another controversial take. Brown is very active on Twitter, with tweets that have slightly radical reactions. Understandably, his latest tweet is no different.

This time, the wide receiver-turned-rapper had appreciation for his old teammate, Ben Roethlisberger, and spoke about the way his ex-teammate played as compared to newer quarterbacks. Antonio essentially spoke about Big Ben’s trust in him during tough spots like double coverage as compared to quarterbacks of today going through a lot of progressions.

There are quite a bit of people who agree with Antonio Brown’s take, showcasing that some of the fans might prefer the older way of playing. With the fans who reacted positively, it might have been because of the absolute dominance Antonio Brown and Ben Roethlisberger asserted when they played together.

Big Ben and AB together

The wide receiver and the quarterback duo is one that is absolutely crucial for the team’s success. Big Ben and AB were one such duo who played spectacularly together. They were both on the Pittsburgh Steelers and took the team to new levels of success with their gameplay. They had some impressive stats from their time together.

Antonio Brown had caught a whopping 72 touchdowns from Roethlisberger. These touchdowns had come off just a meager 120 games. The duo had longevity in victory as well. They hold 78 wins and a mere 41 losses together, arguably one of the best records in the NFL. It is very evident why Brown has a soft spot for Big Ben’s way of play as compared to the way quarterbacks play nowadays. However, regardless of AB’s opinion, aficionados of the sport will still argue upon which style of play is the better one.
