Hearing any Renfrow mentions Re: Antonio Brown situation?

Just seems natural that at some point a comparison will be drawn between Brown’s antics vs whoever may fill in at receiver #1 in his stead, which at this point Hunter is a realistic possibility, having already claimed starter status at slot. Just such a jarring personality difference between the two, coupled with Hunters reliability, figure it is bound to happen and put hunter in a good light

I don't think so. Renfrow is QUICK, but he isn't that fast. What he could do against college players downfield, I don't expect him to be able to do in the NFL. He's a slot guy who will on occasion run a route downfield to keep them honest.
I don't think you can equate the role or skill of AB to HR.
Please don't see that as a knock on Hunter. LOVE HIM and think he'll be successful. But he'll be successful in the role that he has to play.
The AB experiment in Oakland may not last long -- hope I'm wrong. They need a strong #1 receiver on the outside and having AB out there will make Hunter more successful as well.

AB isn’t a #1 outside WR

He’s a 5’10”, overpaid, diva slot receiver playing out of position. He’s a possession WR.

AB has excelled at every spot on the field. Say what you want about his attitude, he's a pompous prick, but he's a pompous prick that is capable of playing any WR spot on the field at a top 3 level.

Last time a top 3 level WR won a SB?, Jerry Rice?, R.Moss if not for Tyree's blind luck. The wr meetings he attended(2, I think) were spent surfing the net on his tablet, checking his bank statement, etc. He was never engaged at any point, in any meeting, as reported by FS1 & ESPN. After the Steelers playoff victory 2 seasons ago, prior to his post game victory speech, HC Tomlin instructs the team to keep the contents of his speech private; King-sh|t4brains-AB shares it in real time, w/ 75,000 followers on Facebooklive. Inexcusible, lucky he wasn't thrown out of a hotel window on the 16th floor for this transgression. Hilarious when Roethlisberger blamed(on his weekly radio show) AB for the int. he threw, in the end zone, that cost Pittsburgh the game, late last season. Funny because it wasn't AB's fault but well deserved none the less. Surprised the attention wh©re didn't go on a murder/suicide mission; after being publically shamed & blamed for the QB's mistake, just desserts. AB's a slot reciever, locker room divider, & toxic to his team.

None of that has anything to do with whether or not AB is a top outside WR. Again, say whatever you will about his attitude, no one is arguing that he's a locker room cancer or a narcissistic sociopath. But he's undeniably an elite outside receiver. Anyone calling him just a slot receiver either hasn't been paying attention since 2013 or is just being intentionally daft.
But by all means go on another meaningless rant that does nothing to actually dispute that fact.

This is a terrible take

AB has been a #1 WR for years playing outside almost exclusively and he’s put up very impressive stats.
The guy is a total clown but you can’t really question his talent and calling him a slot receiver is just inaccurate.

Wow. Antonio Brown is a HOFer and was arguably the best

WR in the NFL during the 5 year stretch from 2013-2017. He is a bit of a diva, but he's consistently produced on the field.

Renfrow wasn't even the #1 guy at Clemson.
They were re-running the Raiders preseason game on NFL Network the other night, and I happened to catch their sideline reporter talking to Carr. She asked him about his relationship with Renfrow already, and he said he's been very excited to work with Renfrow because he "understands the game", can run any route, etc. I think Renfrow will do alright for himself not worrying about AB.

AB is acting bizarre. Something is not right with him.
