Antonio Brown may be too good to leave off punt returns in 2014

nope... he is too good NOT to return punts. I'm not a fan of "protecting" players

Agreed, Antonio Brown is a game changer. You want the ball in his hands as mush as possible.

I sure hope Archer can be the PR. He was a premium pick and I don't see him getting many carries at RB so he'll have to provide his value at PR, KR and hopefully WR.

Only time he shouldn't return punts is if the game is out of reach or if Archer proves he is just as good at returning punts.

The other Brown can return punts, too.

Wow lots of strong opinions and good points made on this subject. I will just say that imho going into camp the depth chart for punt returner may look like this: AB #1 and JB #2 and ??? #3. Justin Brown was excellent a year ago at camp as a pr. Coaches always stress moving your feet to get into position and "bows" tight as 2 keys in the pr game. JB who is not at AB's level was 2nd best from what I saw a year ago. Thought he would make the team last year but was wrong about that. He does need to get better as a wr and perhaps he has but if he makes the team this year he will be in the mix as the punt returner.
Archer and who knows who else may step in and shine at camp and jump past JB and if that happens so be it. Camp battle here should be nice to watch.
With AB's value as a wr being what it is I don't think a punt returner has to be better then AB to give him a break from special teams but if he is close that may be good enough for the coaches. They could always spot AB in like in a playoff game. Did I say playoffs?
