OMG! My mantra every time he wa back there was "Catch the ball AB. And hold on to it. Just fair catch it. Whatever. But don't fumble it." He scares the hell out of me back there.
You mean he "scared" the hell out of you - he's got to be gone this offseason.

I actually played with the verb tense on that but settled for the present tense as I am still scared he might fumble for us out of nowhere next year.

I think (with the exception of the first game) he was fine returning KICKS, we do need a punt returner though that can understand how to gague the ball after he looks at the coverage, and be right.

i still got scared whenever he took a hit because i thought he would fumble, but yes he is much more effective on kick returns than punt returns

Antonio Brown has world class speed, but don't ever expect him to put a move on somebody to get away. He runs straight ahead, and that's about it.

AB only ran fly routes in college (sstraight ahead at full speed), so its not a huge surprise that's all he knows how to do... maybe in the offseason they can teach him how to catch, how to judge which balls to return and how to dodge people like S Moss... or maybe not.

If all that is true, then let Joe talk with him. He'll know whether or not the kid has his head in the game. I love his talent and would love to see that kind of talent in burgundy and gold, but not at the expense of 52 other guys trying to win a Super Bowl. Let's see what happens with this one.

After reading that article, I have a new perspective on him. I think that he has changed, and for the better. Anytime a person goes through what he did, a life altering event, and can talk about it openly with anyone who will listen, then you know that they have realized there mistakes in the past and are willing to move on and become a better person. Thats the take I got from reading he quotes, he sounds like he is sincer in being a new person.
Besides that he does have good size and speed and I think that he would complement Moss, Cooley, and Patten in the passing game...
