I am hoping to be eating some Crow soon.

Damn spinning top..

Yes all football players drafted make an impact day 1. They come out of college flawless, and know everything. Some people on this forum just piss me off. Can we please give draftees a few years to learn and grow into their positions before passing judgement?

Not many of us are ready to give up on him, but I think there's a reasonable level of disappointment at how he has done so far that is fair given his time in the league and his production and where he was drafted. By no means am I saying he is a bust, but I am really expecting more out of him this year.

for what we gave up for him, he hasn't done much. people expected him to "replace peppers" and he hasn't come close to that.

he had moments last year, but I think many of us are tired of seeing him spinning into the ground.

Peppers has been one of the most dominant defensive ends for the past decade - impossible shoes to fill. I would like to see EB break out, but I don't have an issue with him. He is working hard and not getting in trouble.

it seems people are blaming him for what the FO did.........He can't help

where he was drafted. He's a solid player.......give him some time.

I'm expecting Brown to have a breakout year. Hopefully he can start the preseason off like he did last year, but keep it going the whole year this time.

if we can get some actually pressure up the middle brown might be able to get spin sacks lol..

I would love for Armanti and Everette to have breakout years.

Forgetting QBs who often have started slower, what higher draft picks have recently started slow before really breaking through? I guess Charles Johnson is a good example for the Panthers.

I can think of more off the top of my head that had a great rookie year and then disappeared.

Everette has been stuck in limbo.

to those who think brown is a "solid" player...would you care to elaborate...he can't play the run and struggles to get to the QB...where is this "solid" coming from?

well he's not liquid or gaseous (I hope).

[TylerDurden]

In all seriousness, I could see Rivera moving him to OLB, or at least implementing him as a standup rusher on the edge, but still lining up at DE to maximize his ability. Especially being that we'll be running a lot of those Philly fronts.

[rayzor]

everette brown is actually very solid in what he dos, even against the run. he's gotten a lot better and has done well with opportunities he's had, esp. last year. has he lived up to what we gave up for him? meh....i don't know. i do know that he's earned a shot at getting more playing time and with us cutting loose brayton, i know he'll be getting more. i'm confident that he will do really well this year in the pass rushing game.

it doesn't bother me if we start hardy above him. tat dude is an unexpected beast. what matters is that brown gets playing time. where he was drafted doesn't matter. the only thing that matters is that he rips it up when he gets on the field.

Just FTR, Brown was a 2nd round pick/43rd overall...not a 1st rounder. Also, you can add James Anderson to the list of players that took a few years to develop. Sometimes it just happens that way.

True, However we gave up a 1st round pick to get him.

Even had we not given up a 1, I would still be disappointed to date.
