Antonio Brown Said JuJu Smith-Schuster ‘Fumbled The Whole Post Season’

Antonio Brown’s exit from the Steelers was pretty ugly, and even though the star wideout is now with the Raiders, there’s still a tremendous amount of tension between himself, his former teammates, and Steelers fans.

One of the main targets for Brown since his departure has been JuJu Smith-Schuster, the young receiver set to take over the reins as the top wideout in Pittsburgh. Smith-Schuster has offered his support for quarterback Ben Roethlisberger since Brown forced his way out due to frustration with Roethlisberger that culminated in an altercation at practice. Brown said that was simply a player who hasn’t gotten a big pay day saying whatever he thought was needed to get to that contract, but it apparently hasn’t sat well with Brown that JuJu is siding with his team on this issue.

On Sunday, Brown got into it with some Steelers fans on Twitter who were coming at him over a rather innocuous tweet about emotions on Twitter and he used it to fire back at them about being emotional. One of the comebacks, however, brought poor Smith-Schuster into it as Brown called him “boy” and said he “fumbled the whole post season” away.

It’s clear Brown isn’t trying to remain any kind of friendly with his former teammate and is referencing the late season fumble against the Saints that resulted in a loss that was crucial to the Steelers missing the playoffs.

Smith-Schuster’s response was simple, repeating Brown’s initial tweet.

Brown, of course, missed Pittsburgh’s final game of the season for throwing a ball at Roethlisberger in practice, a game they won but that didn’t matter as the Ravens also won to knock them out of the playoffs. Brown clearly isn’t ready to let bygones be bygones and the main targets of his frustration are his ex-quarterback and the player he was once a mentor to.
