Corey Brown and Andrew Norwell

[Jeremy Igo]

Two names Gettleman alluded to in the press conference as guys they were surprised they were able to get after the draft but could not be happier about.

 

 

Sorry, Brown haters.

[LUUUUUKE]

I think it's awesome that the staff made those decisions without him being there or his knowledge. Speaks to the confidence he has in his staff. We got a good thing going in our FO

[chknwing]

I dont get the brown hate anyways.

[Ricky Spanish]

Don't know why anyone would actively root against Philly. I'd absolutely love it if he came out next year, surprised us all and lit the world on fire. Would be a great story.

[LUUUUUKE]

I dont get the brown hate anyways.

Me neither, he made some big time plays for us down the stretch last year, I look fwd to him taking that next step this year

[Jesse]

How can anyone hate Philly Brown? He's a Panther, we should be happy to have him and as a fan base root for the players on our team.*

*unless that player is Everette Brown, Armanti Edwards, Dwayne Jarrett, etc.

[LinvilleGorge]

IMO, the Brown hate stems from his complete failure as a returner.  He surprised as a WR.  Going forward, he's a pure WR but with Gettleman's emphasis on special teams that's going to make it hard on him.  Gettleman wants his bottom of the roster guys contributing on special teams and I think that's pretty clear given this year's FA acquisitions.  "Bottom of the roster" at WR on this team means anything below #3.  We rarely go 5 wide and Olsen is always going to be out there, so our 4th WR gets very little run.

I root for every player we have ever had.

People let Internet debates push them to stupid extremes to argue their opinion.

See politics in this country.

I agree. I got the impression that he and the whole staff identify players and their grades and if they are wanted and go undrafted it's a green light to sign them. Pretty cool.

The disdain for Brown and Bersin as well stems from the failures in the return game, but it's still idiotic.
 

Plain truth of the matter is neither of them should have been back there. That was a failure by our FO, and a mistake that we did not make this offseason luckily.

I think the Brown hate is also stemmed from the fact half the people on here overrate the fug out of him.

My bad. Quoted by mistake.

It was just a passing thought by Gettleman. No need to make it more than it was. It certainly doesn't deserve a thread. If someone thinks that Brown is a lock to make the team, then buy some Kleenex as insurance during the final cuts.

[top dawg]

for one UDFA to be a starter and the other to have a significant role in the offense, that's incredible value mining

That's one way to look at it. In Brown's case, he played a larger role because everyone else hurt, or sucked.
