There's been talk that our not wanting him here wasn't strictly performance related. Not in the sense of off field incidents or anything. Just certain...ideals, I guess you'd say.

No idea if that's the case. Things have changed at the top now, so going forward, who knows?

There had to be something more to it than just football reasons. We were fielding a banged up Funchess and a bunch of practice squaders in a playoff game with a guy who knew our offense and who'd had some level of success on it watching from his couch. That doesn't make sense from a pure football perspective.

Brown had some electrifying moments in the playoffs not that long ago.

From a business perspective, making money with an NFL team has zero to do with winning. And if the bottom line isn't affected by the product you put on the field, personnel decisions matter very little beyond staying under the cap.

hope he catches on with DEN.. he struggled with drops but came up in the clutch for sure with us..

always liked him and desperately wanted him last year against NO in the playoffs..

I thought the drop issues only happened during that one preseason, right? Or am I completely wrong and have just forgotten completely.

    • Just another 1st round QB that never paid off for the team that drafted them or traded for them. It's been like this since the SB began. 36 QBs have now won the SB & only 13 of them have been 1st rounders winning with their original team. Namath 1968, Griese 1972, Bradshaw 1974, McMahon 1985, Simms 1986, Aikman 1992, Elway 1997, Roethlisberger 2005, P.Manning 2006, E.Manning 2007, Rodgers 2010, Flacco 2012, & Mahomes 2019. Only 3 have taken longer than 5 seasons as the starter to win a SB.  4  6  5  4  6  4  15  2  9  4  3  5  2 [the years it takes for these 1st round QBs] 5  1  4  1  3  1  1  2  3  4  [10 of the 36 have won a chip with their 1st team that haven't been drafted in the 1st round. These are the years it took them as a starter] What stands out? Only 2 of these QBs have lost their first championship appearance. Elway took 4 years as a 1st rounder & Hurts took 2 years as a 2nd rounder. Of the 10 non-1st round QBs, 2 are 2nd rounders, 3 are 3rd rounders, 5 are 6th rounders or later. Please stop wasting time on drafting 1st round QBs with such a high failure rate. The remaining 13 QBs are traded or free agent signings. Stafford, Favre, Young, Williams and Dawson are the 5 trades. Peyton Manning & Tom Brady also won for teams as free agents on a short stay as well as being drafted. The lesson here is don't waste your franchise on farming up 1st rounders for the league, and steer clear of trading for a franchise QB. Stick to finding that championship QB by drafting them outside of the 1st round or through free agency.  
    • I lost most of the respect I had for Fox in 2010. He should have resigned if he hated the job that much. Instead he stuck for his paycheck and let stuff go to hell.    I burned out on Ron too but my deal breaker issue with him was away from football and after he was gone from the Panthers. He may have been out of his depth but never quit on us. 
    • From where they were one year ago to now, pretty incredible. I mean, say what you want about Vrabel he is no Jerrod Mayo.
