2015 Philly Brown is our 2012 Doug Balwdin

Both Brown and Baldwin are mid sized receivers who don't particularly excel at anything, but are decent at everything. 

Both undrafted free agents as rookies. Both come from legit college football programs. Both had unspectacular 40 times in the combine (thus being undrafted)

Similar stats in their first years (aside from Philly not getting as many snaps)

I feel like Philly should really take a look at Baldwin's game as a model for his career. In a couple of years he has all the ability in the world to get near 800-900 receiving yards.

So now that ive read what their stats are, this is a really good idea to me. I didnt realize Baldwin was Phillys size. I dont know why but Philly still looks so skinny to me. 

I really hope we can see more Philly in the slot. I feel like he played well out of there when given the chance.

I love Baldwin's game. Baldwin is a hands catcher who is able to absorb hits and make people miss. Baldwin has the strength to fight off defenders and out runs guys with the ball in his hands. Philly is a straight line speed kinda guy, who doesn't trust his hands (and never will). Philly isn't a threat to go anywhere after catch and doesn't have the ability to make people miss. 

I'd love to go and get us a Baldwin type receiver in this years draft though! A guy like Sterling Shepard would be a nice pick up and I'd compare him to Baldwin. I just want to see us surround Cam with some guys that have the ability to make people miss, Braxton Miller has that ability as well.

Philly's catching passes from Cam. baldwin's catching passes from Gary Coleman. It's the same physics that makes mediocre girls look hot when they're hanging out with their one fat friend.

    • 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
