Are Vontaze Burfict and Adam Jones the dumbest persons to ever step on a football field?

Question

First, Burfict charges Antonio Brown with a shoulder-to-head tackle, knocking him unconscious and giving the Steelers 15 free yards. Then, Jones argues with the referees and pulls one for another 15 free yards. The 30 free yards result in Chris Boswell kicking a field goal he couldn't miss.

Answer 1

They aren't the dumbest players to ever step on the field, they were just playing with so much emotion. While saying that they were pretty dumb for the penalties they made. The Adam jones less than burfict since Joey porter should not have been on the field but regardless the bengals should have won and those penalties should have never happened as Jeremy hill should have just focused on holding the ball tight instead of yards

Answer 2

So apparently nobody saw the meeting a couple weeks prior? And didn't see every official at the 50 to keep the peace during warm ups this game?



Burfect and Jones's penalties literally lost them the game. Not even the officials or coaching staff could control the situation. Hindsight being what it is. They should have kept both of them off the field in the final minutes of the game. Everyone knew they were out of control. That's more than emotion. That's stupidity. That's blatantly costing the game because they're incapable of controlling themselves. Simple as that. Terribly unfortunate for Cincinnati. And it showed the fans being very Classy. So not only did they lose, they caused the fans to be scrutinized. C'mon. Cheering injuries and throwing garbage at Pittsburgh because your players can't contain themselves?

PS: Andy Dalton. Enough said.



Just Saying.

Answer 4

If Vontaze Burfict and Adam Jones the dumbest people to step on the football field, then Marvin Lewis is the dumbest man to coach a team. This one falls squarely on Lewis' shoulers. A coach who is in control would have known when to preach on field discipline to his players and not to commit boneheaded penalties that cost ball games.

Answer 5

They have Sociopathic / Narcissistic emotional behavior problems. They can t understand Team needs or being a team player if it requires any kind of sacrifice (pride) from them. They aren't the only ones Odell Beckham has the symptoms as well. The need to always be right and willingness to fight to the end to prove a point no matter the cost to others. No sense and understanding of the feelings of others. Classic symptoms! They don't belong in the NFL if they can't respect their team needs and represent with maturity and emotional control. There is more to being a true professional than just being good at the game! The big picture they are part of isn't the mirror they look into every day, they are unable to grasp that it seems.

Answer 6

First, I am a huge Steelers fan. That said, there is a reason why Carson Palmer left Cinci. the way he did. Carson knew what he was in and wanted no part of it. I wish him well in the playoffs. I have been to Paul Brown stadium two times for Steelers games and after the last one, approx 5 years ago, I will never spend another dime in that place!!! I have been to other stadiums and I have to say that Berfict, Jones and most Bengle fans go very well together!!! Bengle fans are the poorest fans I have ever been around!!! As they trash talk us Six time Super Bowl Champion Steeler fans the best thing we winners can do is just point to the csore board. Again, good luck Carson.

Answer 7

They aren't the dumbest players to ever step on the field, they were just playing with so much emotion. While saying that they were pretty dumb for the penalties they made. The Adam jones less than burfict since Joey porter should not have been on the field but regardless the bengals should have won and those penalties should have never happened as Jeremy hill should have just focused on holding the ball tight instead of yards.

Answer 8

No they're not. They're both highly emotional players and when they get pushed the wrong way, they can't control themselves anymore. Which they really need to learn how to do. First of all, shoulder to helmet. Coming full speed, trying to make a tackle. Can't do much more than what he did to avoid a worse situation. And Jones had every right to be angry. Porter had no business being on the field, let alone cussing out the Bengals players. There should have been an offsetting penalty and the kick becomes much harder.

Answer 9

The best football players understand the situation they are in at that time or in that moment. When you are ahead late in a game like that you DO NOT do anything to give an advantage to the opposing team whether it be committing a personal foul, arguing a call, mental errors like jumping offsides. It's those type of errors that separate the "men from the boys" to use a corny saying. The best teams know how to handle themselves in those situations. This is why the Bengals are a good regular season team and can't win a playoff game. Comes down to mental discipline.



They aren't stupid...they are idiots.

Answer 10

If Vontaze Burfict and Adam Jones the dumbest people to step on the football field, then Marvin Lewis is the dumbest man to coach a team. This one falls squarely on Lewis' shoulers. A coach who is in control would have known when to preach on field discipline to his players and not to commit boneheaded penalties that cost ball games.

Answer 11

A couple of dumb fouls and they're the " dumbest persons to ever step on a football field "?

They have some pretty stiff competition. There have been some REAL lunk heads step on a football field.

Answer 13

Earlier this week, PFT reported that Bengals cornerback Adam Jones would be fined and not suspended for removing Raiders wide receiver Amari Cooper’s helmet and then slamming Cooper’s head into it during last Sunday’s game.Jones, who was flagged for unnecessary roughness to the dismay of those who thought he should have been ejected, was curious to know how we’d learned that information before him, but it doesn’t appear anyone scooped him when it came to the size of that fine.Jones said Wednesday that he has been fined $35,000 as a result of the incident with Cooper. Jones added that he plans to appeal the penalty, although it is considerably less than the $91,000-plus he would have lost if the league decided to suspend him. They passed on that option, perhaps because they weren’t in the mood to risk losing another appeal, but Jones still feels like he was penalized too much.“It’s magnified because it’s me,” Jones said, via Geoff Hobson of the team’s website.



Past history has often played a role in discipline handed down by the league, but some acts are going to draw heavy fines regardless of what happened in the past. This feels like one of those cases and it’s hard to believe that there are too many players that would have avoided a stiff penalty for doing what Jones did to Cooper on Sunday.

Answer 14

Burfict's hit was unnecessary and was an obvious flag. Jones's flag was a terrible call. Joey Porter, who's a defensive coach, is out in the middle of the field. That should have been a flag if anything. The refs shouldve kept that one in their pocket.

Answer 15

Adam jones grabbed a coach that was NOT supposed to be on the field and the fine proves that he had all rights to be mad even ben Rothenberger said vontaze hit was not intentional the dumbest player to step on a field is the one that kills someone off the field or abuse someone off the field "on that field you play like a beast the second you step off you are a gentelmen"

Answer 16

You can not be stupid and play in the NFL and Jones worked hard this year in both games and practice but yea, it was Dumb and Dumber behavior giving away a game and a season by breaking official and unspoken rules we all learned in 3rd grade PeeWee Football League. That coach was on the field because you just tried to kill one of his players and you HAVE to know that if you climb over an officials back to try and hit a coach, you’re getting a penalty..... So it's back to anger management classes where they teach a poem by Kipling that says something like "If you can keep your head when all about you are losing theirs and blaming it on you, then you are a real man......" If not, you’re out of the playoffs in the first round and good luck getting your contract picked up next season............

Answer 17

Jones for sure was out of control, I'm not going to speak on the targeting on Burfict, I have no idea how a player goes at that velocity and then stops, just like that safety for Nebraska that got kicked out of the Iowa game and the bowl game against UCLA. Burfict has been an issue going back to college. I don't know.

Answer 18

9+10

Answer 19

Honestly, Adam Jones has always been a thug. From his crime/actions off the field and his ignorant and dirty plays/actions on the field, he has always been a thug throughout his whole career.

As for Vontaze Burfict, he's just a ignorant p.o.s. I get it, it's football.. You want to smash your opponents into the ground and terrorize them on every down, but cheap shots is just bullshit. Vontaze Burfict has been fined on many occasions, had a big controversy last year with trying to twist players legs/ankles at the end of tackles, and he has had many dirty head-to-head hits and is just an all around shitty NFL player at heart.

Answer 20

They're both felons on a football field man. I feel so bad for Marvin Lewis, there is NO COACH in the league who could control people who behave like that. They just cost the Bengals a win with their idiocy. Its crazy. Burfict and Pacman Jones need to be released from Cincinnati and go back to jail honestly.

Answer 21

If you were watching the game the Steelers we're equally as guilty with munch ask Joey Porter and the guy who knocked out Rocky Bernard, so Steelers were playing dirty they also were celebrating when Bernard got hurt.



So each team is guilty but the average fan like you watches 1 game a year is outraged



And that's how football used to be played

Answer 22

Lessons learned...

1--Live by the thug, die by the thug.

2--You can take the player out of the hood, but you can't take the hood out of the player.



What's really a shame is that we're not talking about two semi-skilled players who have to resort to this sort of crap in order to stay in the league. Burfict and Pacman are both tremendously talented players who really don't need the cheap stuff to excel in the NFL....and while it's nice when those guys are intimidating the other team, you have to know sooner or later, they are going to pull a bonehead move in a critical situation, and having them on the roster is going to come back and bite their team in the @$$.



Eventually, despite their skill levels, they will wear out their welcome on any team they play for, because at some point the team will decide that the risk of having them on the roster far outweighs the benefits they bring to the team.



Being here in Pittsburgh (Steelers win...Yoi and double yoi) I saw this same sort of thing played out with the Penguins and Matt Cooke. Cooke is a pretty darned talented player...tenacious checker, outstanding penalty killer, and he's got a decent scoring touch. But he is also one of the dirtiest players in the NHL, and eventually the Pens decided that his contributions to the team weren't worth the problems his cheap play caused, and they cut ties with him.

Answer 23

Burfict's hit was unnecessary and was an obvious flag. Jones's flag was a terrible call. Joey Porter, who's a defensive coach, is out in the middle of the field. That should have been a flag if anything. The refs shouldve kept that one in their pocket..

Answer 24

Yes probably. But the steelers coaches are scumbags. Seriously in any sport opposing coaches should not have any interactions with players from another team. First munchak gets flaged for pulling on an opposing players hair, and porter anc his antics. Let's not forget the **** tomlin did a few years back with jacoby jones. Scumbag coaches, who obviously plan on doing stuff, because it keeps happening.

Answer 25

Porter should not have been on the field. That was ridiciulous. Even more ridiculous that the Steelers didn't get a penalty for that. However, Jones trying to physically attack him definitely had to render him MVP...Moronic Vile Pussy. Likely his brain is even smaller than his balls.

Answer 26

Lesson to be learned: You cannot play the Steelers style of football against the Steelers- The referees,the announcers, and the league defends them when you do.



Those refs, Jim Nance, Phil Sims, and Mike Carey, watched over, and over, the hit on Gio Bernard, and yet did not call a helmet to helmet, and the announcers did not even give it a mention. Yet were quick to do so when Burfict did the same(not defending him-it was the right call)



When Ben went out, Nance was desperately trying to call that a dirty hit too. I seen it as legal, and even Mike Carey reluctantly agreed.

Answer 27

I'm a steelers fan and before the game started in said berfict was my favorite player on the Bengals. I made that statement because he's a good football player but he also helped us win the game lololol

Answer 28

Jones isn't the brightest person and really cost the team. Burfict though needs kicked out of the league.

Answer 29

VONTAZE BURFICT IS MENTALLY ILL, PEOPLE! There is so much upside with regards to his talent that they allow him to slide rather than give him the help he truly needs!

Vontaze Burfict has mad skill and could be the next Lawrence Taylor, but unfortunately he apparently is mentally ill and will never be able to show enough consistency to prove it. When at Arizona State many times single-handed he would torch the opposition with his awesome skill, then out of nowhere many times he would sit out plays, quarters and whole games. His talent alone allowed him to enter the game any time he wished but he would let his team down enough for them to lose patience with his antics. Furthermore USC wanted him but he was unable to pass their academic requirements which is not that of Stanford's by any means.

Answer 30

Stupidest thing I've seen on a football field since Leon Lett, and infinitely more despicable.

Answer 31

Yes, I agree with you. The Bengals had that game won. All they had to do was be smart and play clean defense. Because the Bengals keep signing undisciplined players like Burfict and Jones, they will never win a playoff game.

Answer 32

Pretty much. Burfict is just straight up dirty. He's been doing **** like that all year. I didn't think Jones really did anything, but they deserved what they got after that hit from Burfict. He could've hurt Brown a lot worse than he did and it was clearly intentional.

Answer 33

yes they are. How Ghetto was that game. They both cost their team a playoff win because they went after their own personal vendettas. If I was the coach they wouldn't be able to play on my team ever again, I wouldn't care how talented they are. And these same guys that get paid millions of dollars every year, they are professionals so they need to act like it.

Answer 34

Yes, no respect for them whatsoever, they could have killed Brown easily with that hard hit, I seen his head rip around and I was worried that he might have broke his neck, luckily he didn't.



I was watching the game and wasn't really rooting for any team but after that I'm glad that the Steelers won, assholes like that deserve nothing.

Answer 35

Yes , I honestly think I've never seen a more retarded bunch of players. I hope Burfict gets fined and suspended heavily after his bull crap. I think that he should know that his penalties cost him that game. The Bengals we're going to win but they threw that game away. I hope I get a Burfict piñata for my birthday. I feel bad for Marvin though he was trying to control his players but they just wouldn't listen

Answer 36

Leon Lett of the Cowboys back in the 90's was much dumber

Answer 37

When you go slummin, this is to be expected. Burfick & Jones didn't turn down full scholarships to Stanford's doctoral programs, right?

Answer 38

They aren't the dumbest people ever. They were just playing their part in the rigged league that is the NFL.

Answer 39

Nope.. the dumbest person is Aaron Hernandez

Answer 40

Adam jones maybe

Answer 41

Those two are idiots. How did they graduate from College? Burfict's dad was a Gang Member.

Answer 42

Jim Plunkett was. The Raider's offense was simplified for him....dump the ball off to Marcus Allen and let him score.

Answer 43

No, but they are completely idiotic. They ruined their chance to win the game along with many other factors, but the Burfict hit was so not necessary as Brown was probably not going to catch that ball anyway.

Answer 44

They're not rivals for Aaron Hernandez

Answer 45

Yes

Answer 46

No they are really dumb and maybe in the top 10 but Randy Moss is the dumbest straight cash homie! Then I will moon you.

Answer 47

Two of the dumbest selfish yolos ever..scary. Nfl nba is full of these types

Answer 48

keep in mind we haven't one a play off game in like 24 years. and they are our rivals. just a lot of emotion out on the field not so good ways to handle it.

Answer 49

After playing and coaching football for over 50 years i ve finally decided that you just can t enjoy the game anymore. if it isn t the patroit s cheating, or the cowboys still believing they are AMERICA S TEAM ,to the referees totally screwing up calls.......... do you see where this is going. anyway i would like to thank those 2 scum bags for once again proving what i have always said, and that is, AND YOU WONDER WHY !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Answer 50

They are very stupid. But don't forget about Bernards fumble. If he hadn't fumbled, those situations wouldn't have happened. As much I think Burfict and Jones are thugs and dumb, it isn't all their fault.

Answer 51

No. Joey Porter is the dumbest

Answer 52

This is the most insane thing I've ever seen in sports, and that says a LOT.

Answer 53

They were easily the dumbest on Saturday.

Answer 54

Maybe not the dumbest but they are definitely in the running.

Answer 55

Go Steelers

Answer 56

Two words: Situational awareness. If firefighters or safety officers "played with emotion" like that, they'd be fired instantly.

Answer 57

Plain and simple two guys that have egos and the state of Ohio should be upset. Ego over the fans is all it was .

Answer 58

Wild animals. Thugs. Criminals. If they couldn't run fast and jump high they'd be in prison or dead. You can take the thug out of the hood, but you can't take the hood out of the thug.

Answer 59

The NFL should just stop hiring thugs. And I don't mean that from a racial viewpoint. Felons, wife-beaters, drug addicts...all need to go.

Answer 68

There have been so many dumb players over the years hard to udge.These two have to be in the conversation.

Answer 69

ya thae must be. dumber und dumbest thae should be kicked out or git a goud long suspension

Answer 70

No, Munchak, porter, dancing Shazier, and tripping Tomlin are.

Answer 71

They certainly share the current DumBass of the Month award.

Answer 72

That should have been a flag if anything. The refs shouldve kept that one in their pocket.

Answer 73

It's Marvin Lewis fault. He wasn't doing his job and should be fired.

Answer 74

Both are Infidels that need be deported to Madagascar

Answer 75

Yep, that was pretty dumb. And you never wanna out your opponents in an easy position to score.

Answer 76

Yes, the evidence would suggest that is the case.

Answer 77

Those plays sure did cost them the game.

Answer 78

I would vote for Aaron Hernandez.

Answer 79

no i think football association is dumbest or coaches who trained them.
