The evolution of PHILLY BROWN

I'm not sure if I was super drunk last night or Did I see Philly Brown getting separation and getting in the right position to make a play on the ball. Seems like if we get into a pickle he's going to be the guy to make that play we need.

He's always been able to do those things, his flaw is just his hands.  If he cures his dropsies, he could be a real weapon for us.

No,  he hasn't done it consistently enough this season.  Last night was good for him,  but let's not fool ourselves.  He is not a starting caliber NFL receiver .  

If you're waiting on an evolution,  then there is some creationism going on in your mind as it pertains to Philly.

Ted Ginn might have caught that sickness

 

Ginn's weakness has always been the bombs that give him a lot of time to think - he rarely drops the slants/outs/quicker-hitting routes. Unfortunately, his speed makes the bombs a real threat and he's dropped no fewer than 5 long TDs this year.

This is our guys whose hands we rely on to field punts, with 250 lb guys running full speed at him trying to take his head off.  And he catches those without an issue.  He is 5 yards past his defender running a go route and the ball hits him right on target in the hands with nobody near him, several times this year, and he drops it.  Inexcusable.

Every time the national talking heads talk about Cam's completion percentage, they should be forced to watch that overtime throw to Ginn. 

That drop is gonna stick out in my mind as the most painful, aggravating one of the season (I hope).

    • Interestingly I think we have kind of of gone through this as an organization. Richardson implemented an FO driven tank. Bad roster, no cash spent, coach uninterested. It may have been for different reasons but I think the results were the same. A team that wasn't going to win many if any games. We ended up with the #1 pick. Cam Newton came in and changed the franchise. It worked, but Cam himself pointed to the losing culture in the locker room needing to be changed. It probably took about 2-3 years for that to happen. Tank worked pretty damn well for us. Cam is one of one. Not another like him, everyone can't deliver on his draft status AND change a culture basically on his own.  So as an exercise here are the last 30 #1 picks. If you tanked and got to pick #1 how many of these guys do you think were worth it? Not just good players, but franchise changers. Guys who will take your culture and shift it so the tank was actually worth it. I would say maybe 9 or 10 guys would be worth a tank, pending the last 5 picks?    2025: Cam Ward (Miami (FL)) - Tennessee Titans 2024: Caleb Williams (USC) – Chicago Bears 2023: Bryce Young (Alabama) – Carolina Panthers 2022: Travon Walker (Georgia) – Jacksonville Jaguars 2021: Trevor Lawrence (Clemson) – Jacksonville Jaguars 2020: Joe Burrow (LSU) – Cincinnati Bengals 2019: Kyler Murray (Oklahoma) – Arizona Cardinals 2018: Baker Mayfield (Oklahoma) – Cleveland Browns 2017: Myles Garrett (Texas A&M) – Cleveland Browns 2016: Jared Goff (California) – Los Angeles Rams 2015: Jameis Winston (Florida State) – Tampa Bay Buccaneers 2014: Jadeveon Clowney (South Carolina) – Houston Texans 2013: Eric Fisher (Central Michigan) – Kansas City Chiefs 2012: Andrew Luck (Stanford) – Indianapolis Colts 2011: Cam Newton (Auburn) – Carolina Panthers 2010: Sam Bradford (Oklahoma) – St. Louis Rams 2009: Matthew Stafford (Georgia) – Detroit Lions 2008: Jake Long (Michigan) – Miami Dolphins 2007: JaMarcus Russell (LSU) – Oakland Raiders 2006: Mario Williams (North Carolina State) – Houston Texans 2005: Alex Smith (Utah) – San Francisco 49ers 2004: Eli Manning (Mississippi) – San Diego Chargers 2003: Carson Palmer (USC) – Cincinnati Bengals 2002: David Carr (Fresno State) – Houston Texans 2001: Michael Vick (Virginia Tech) – Atlanta Falcons 2000: Courtney Brown (Penn State) – Cleveland Browns 1999: Tim Couch (Kentucky) – Cleveland Browns 1998: Peyton Manning (Tennessee) – Indianapolis Colts 1997: Orlando Pace (Ohio State) – St. Louis Rams 1996: Keyshawn Johnson (USC) – New York Jets 1995: Ki-Jana Carter (Penn State) – Cincinnati Bengals
