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.

    • Like many of the old heads, I’ve been here for a long time.  I got a lot of respect for everyone on this board for your dedication to this team.  We’ve all been through it during the tougher years. At this point in life, I’m not one to judge anyone’s level of dedication, or their reasons why anymore.  Time, and a lot of bad football, will do that.  For me, it’s simple.  We share a common bond.  For that, I love and appreciate all of you crazy SOB’s. For me, last season was at a minimum, entertaining.  BY lead a young team to multiple come from behind 4th qtr wins.  That showed me heart, and that he has the clutch gene.  That’s the wildcard intangible.  For me, that was fun to watch even  if it was mindbogglingly frustrating at times.  Over the past two seasons, we have progressively built a better team around him.  On paper, the defense should be better this season.  That’ll help.  Let’s see what he can do as the other guys continue to develop too.  Besides, his contract is cheap for a few more years, and we just made some smart cap decisions during the draft. Let’s see how it shakes out. 
    • Hiring Shula & his Cam save us playbook.
    • I would very much liked to have seen Jake Delhomme's career if Tommy Jone no hurt Jake.  I just know that roster and the leadership were destined to hit paydirt but Jake was never the same after the elbow injury, and unfortunately he was the sole reason they didn't make it back to the big one.  I think that 08 team was the best in the league, and Jake masked his inability well all season til the Arizona game put it all on display.  I'll go back to the season prior even and say the 07 team was primed to be a competitor.  Jake was off to a fantastic start that year (for a Panthers QB).  They may have been a championship caliber club for a few seasons after 08 too.
