A drop is a drop

Not even comparable players at this point. Adams looked incredibly lost and out of his element out there.

Philly isn't a NFL returner....just like Adams wasn't

They're very comparable. Both under Rivera. Both rookies. Both few games. Both with drop problems. I was uncomfortable with both. Adams only lasted a couple games. If Brown continues his problems, he will too.

Philly isn't a NFL returner....

 

I don't think either of us can definitively say one way or the other yet.

 

But it seems like some folks are hoping he fails just to be proven right. That's pretty fugged up. He's a Panther.

Cam was compared to Ryan Leaf his first preseason too.

BTW, I'm hoping Brown turns it around and I'll cheer for him when he's out there, but like someone said earlier...with returners "you either have it or you don't". I think TheRed said it. Anyway, Brown doesn't look like he has "it" right now.

KillerKat, you do realize that not every returner comes out of the gate looking like Devin Hester in his prime right?

Returners aren't developed like other positions at this level. You got it or you don't.....thinking otherwise is a waste of time

Acknowledging someone isn't getting the job done isn't rooting for failure.

You're comparing different positions and a dumb one.

Again, Adams only lasted a couple games at returner. That's like 2-3 more than Brown currently has. Very comparable since they both have the same problems.

Name a decent return man that started off his career looking like poo? You either can or can't at that spot.

Good point, CRA

No, but normally returners don't suddenly develop basic skills needed to return punts. Like for example, consistently fielding a punt cleanly. They got it or they don't.

I'm comparing someone that plays the same position as someone else to someone that plays the same position as someone else? Wut?

i think PB is fine. he had a bit of a rough night tonight - every rookie is due one of those now and then. his upside is tremendous both as a returner and a deep threat wide receiver.

 

if he starts muffing live balls from this point forward i'll be concerned.
