Brady and Brees give zero fugs about a push up the middle. 

I didnt like the pick bc I dont see him being who they tout him to be in the pros, but I hope I'm wrong.  Regardless, if he does become that guy, it's invaluable.  I've been saying it for years, especially under Rivera, that part of our problem on defense was our inability to get pressure up the middle.  Even with KK, we tended to run a lot of stunts with him ending up rushing from the edge.  When you go back and watch our games against Brees, watch how many times Brees waits for our rushers (DTs too) to run around him and then he steps up straight through the gaping hole in the middle of the pocket.  It's almost every play.

The moment this was the pick I knew Brady had a part, Brown wrecked that LSU offensive line better than any team. I love the pick.

That's cool and all, but that's one game. He was borderline ghost against Bama, and a few other teams. I don't love the pick, when even the Panthers said there was someone else on the board they loved more, but they have so many needs they didn't take him. LOL.

I'm with you on everything you stated. Not a reach by any means, but I just don't see it with him.

Right. Sounds like absolute BS getting made up to for your narrative now. Please show me where they said “yeah we actually liked someone better but had to take Brown” because I’m pretty sure nobody says that right after picking their new defensive centerpiece at 7

Just gave you what David Newton said. Not a BS narrative. Read into the tea leaves, makes perfect sense. 

Want more?

I know something about you.

I know you never watched a single game Derrick Brown ever played.

Yeah, that's incorrect. I watched a lot of Auburn games. He played decent against Oregon, but other than that he was meh besides the LSU game. Not a fan of an inconsistent player. And I know something about you, Auburn homer gonna Auburn homer.

    • Going from the 32nd to 27th ranked QB is a huge achievement indeed.
    • I do expect the offense to fall back to earth next year if everything stays the same.  It is kinda like how the Panthers and even now the Chiefs won in the past.  Winning many close, coin flip games.  It never lasts from season to season usually. 
    • Biased is one way of putting it. The NFL is an entertainment product in the strictest legal sense. Although I might yell it out on game days, I do not believe the games are outright “rigged” meaning there is one team that is going to win no matter what happens. It’s impossible. There’s too much variance in the game that can prevent a truly rigged game from happening unless there was cooperation from many parties involved. What I am thoroughly convinced happens is that the NFL and referees “manage” the games towards certain outcomes. And that is done primarily through referee crew choice however I wouldn’t be surprised if there’s more going on behind the curtain.  The NFL uses the officials statistical tendencies to call penalties is to keep games close to drive user engagement. For example, If a crew tends to call more false start penalties, and there’s a game between a heavy pass offense where the NFL would like to manufacture a close game where it might have potential to be a blowout, then they’ll assign a crew that will slow that offense down and keep the game close.  There is an insane amount of marketing and now sports betting money that is married to the NFL economic ecosystem. To think this whole system is fair when the referee union has no outward accountability structure for poor performance is just naive. It’s closer to the WWE than outward appearances suggest, but it’s not a fully scripted outcome either. So for those who say “stop watching” if you don’t want to watch a “rigged” game, it’s an entertainment product. You can still be entertained by it, even if it’s not as fair as a truly merit based sporting event.
