Titan fans attack A.J Brown after saying he's the best WR their franchise ever had

[CR91]

I mean is he wrong? Derrick Mason and Ernest Givens were pretty good. Mike Renfro in the 70s. While way past their prime, Titans did have Randy Moss, Andre Johnson, and Julio Jones.

I would go with Mason as their best ever WR.

I feel it's best to let other people give the compliments other than proclaiming yourself anything.

It was more to defend himself because they were calling him selfish for leaving even though he was traded

You can't include guys that just came over for a cup of coffee out of their primes with a franchise and stunk with a franchise as in Moss, Johnson, and Jones. That would be like someone telling me that Andre Johnson was better than TY Hilton on a Colts list. He wasn't, he was better all-time but as a Colt - TY was better all-time. AJ Brown actually has a good argument here.

If you are going back to when they were Oilers, I thought Haywood Jeffries was their best but I thought Mason was very good too during his years as a Titan.

 

I don't think Brown was the best, as he was not there long enough (not his decision, I know).

No I get that, but that's the names Titan fans were bringing up

Sounds like some are grasping at straws bc they know he has an argument. I wont agree or disagree but will say TN fans as a whole are dumb. Im from that state and im not sure who is worse, Titans or Vols fans. The kid balled out while he was there and now they are turning on him. 
 

Im sure it happens in Colts nation but I dont remember anyone here trashing ojt Autry for leaving or  “Attacking” Rock when we traded him to the Raiders.  Some people did get nasty when Luck retired so we arent perfect.
 

I really should read what they are saying before commenting but i dont want to waste my time with Tennessee hillbilly garbage talk. Im telling you they are bad down there. I once saw a petition to have a UT player suspended in the NFL or forced to payback his entire scholarship bc he skipped the bowl game. I think they were like 6-6 or 7-5 on top of neither are even close to being a legal option. They view players on the Titans and Vols as property. Its insane.

Ken Burrough ole 00 comes to mind when I think all time best WR for their franchise, 2nd all time rec td's in their franchise and avg 16.9 ypc.....

Earnest Givens or Drew Hill.   If you include all pass catchers I would include Delanie Walker and Frank Wycheck.

Drew Hill was probably their best. Haywood Jeffires was close. That was the Oilers days but considered the same franchise.

Not really.

 

And even if he was right, it's just being an egomaniac * to call yourself the best ever anything. What it is about WRs? Most of the yutzes in the NFL are or were WRs. Brown, Moss, Owens, the list goes on and on

Just a competitive narcissistic personality that probably helps drive them to be successful. Its very common in the professional work place and I see and deal with it all the time. Ive probably heard hundreds of people claim they are the best at what they do. From forklift drivers to skilled tradesmen to entry level management to senior level executives. Difference is in the NFL, its replayed endlessly by the media to create controversy.  Doesn't really bother me in either situation. Its just how some people are. It takes all types.

If I recall they seldom threw to Andre Johnson.

Yep.   He started 4 games and had 9 catches.  

 

He really had a great career in Houston.

MOST Tennessee fans I know aren't very intelligent. Learned this while living in Kentucky for many, many years.
