Corey "Philly" Brown = Our best WR

I'm not saying Philly will be our best forever. Just right now. I think the reasoning is Brown is a UDFA and is proving himself against all the other teams that passed him over. KB was drafted in the first round and doesn't have to try as hard. Therefore every time I see Philly in, it looks like he puts more effort on the field than any one else. Why positive things happen when he's on the field and Cam throws to him. He doesn't quit or lose focus like our other receivers.

It's an obvious exaggeration in the OP some posters need to get over (hopefully haha but he's #3 IMO as of now). We just don't know how to use the WRs on this team.  

 

The way we want to use Cotchery and Avant is how the Steelers use Martavis Bryant and Wheaton; or how the Cards use Floyd and Brown, Giants with Beckham/Cruz, and it makes absolutely no sense.  

 

Just put Philly out there for the PA bombs and trick plays.  I don't get the point of using Avant or Cotch for those.  Bersin isn't much different.  It's almost as if the staff doesn't understand what type of players fit their own damn scheme.

I want to see more imaginative play calling and formations. Consistantly lining KB up by himself allows a safety to double up with a corner on him, which in any other situation is ideal. But if anyone but COREY Brown is in the game everyone else is easily covered one on one. Sitting in the endzone on the wheelchair row today it was easy to see why Cam has so many "poor" throws and forced passes, no one is open.

    • Yeah and I am doubtful he can offer that consistently. I don’t have many years left at my age and in my view we have wasted two and this whole exercise with him was always a three year minimum.  I am out on that with a guy I don’t believe in, and never believed in, it has sucked. To me it is a costly detour off the right track. Years.    But I am not so rigid that I can’t see excellence. He needs to display it though, consistently before I change my outlook.  
    • No, when I said rage, I meant rage, which only applies to certain fans on this board. Your timeline of trying to assess whether he is the future or not is really tied to the discussions surrounding his second contract. If this team is going to commit to some monster contract while he has shown nothing but glimpses of brilliance would be deservedly worrisome, so the clock is genuinely ticking for him to settle into something resembling his final form. Perhaps a best case scenario is that he plays well, the team succeeds, but he does so with a more limited role that makes the rest of the league view him as a game manager, and his second contract value reflects that. Then he continues to improve and becomes a bargain comparatively while not handicapping the team around him, and we enter an era of consistent championship competitiveness that the fanbase has craved for decades and has never really experienced before. But that requires many, many things to go right and for Bryce himself to facilitate that if he ends up being the quarterback of the future.
    • Exactly. And the flame throwers as well, get location benefits from not going all out. But they have it in reserve.  Not sure how much Greg had but he was an artist.  There was a YouTube I came across last year or maybe even 2023 and I don’t how to even find now but it had two NFL QBs I want say one was Carr from the Raiders but I don’t really remember  The point of it is they stood side by side throwing identical distances to identical targets. Radar gun was used.  They threw the normal effort (not all out) and it was measured etc. Then they were asked to throw their ‘fastball’. They were missing and most often they were missing high. It demonstrated the same principle.    edit: and applying that to arm strength, give me the guy that doesn’t need max effort to have good velocity. The margins are so narrow with less velocity in tne NFL the defenders can Close on it and this is a league where they value down to the 100th of a second level. It is that tight
