fair argument... not gonna happen though
Only guess is they hope he will be better next year. Not going to happen with this offense though.
Burks had better numbers than AJ the last three weeks and was going line for line in the first quarter before the illegal hit.
might as well float this and see if it gains any traction - LOL
Hindsight on downing for sure. Should have never been the OC selection
Metcalf and Deebo (edit: and Tyreek Hill) had production saying they should be top paid WR, Brown didn’t. So when he got $25 mil per year, that’s the top of the market or more than what his production said he is.
He is coming off the ACL but unless Downing goes any WR is redundant
you misspelled Vrable but I agree
Vrabel supporting Downing is confusing but can he fire Downing or is that JRobs job?
And yet “we don’t know where the money is” for Jeffery Simmons……
It was def ejection worthy hit. And unfortunate for Burks (and us).
But Burks is just as injury riddled as Brown was.
downing running what Vrable wants... same as the other OCs vrable has hired... O has not really changed IMO
Way I’ve heard it is that quality asst coaches won’t come work with a HC who has a quick trigger to fire. So if he fires Downing, he better have a better replacement on board.
sadly THAT would not be difficult... heard Robiskie is availble & superior as OC
I fully agree that’s going to be a huge problem,
Only guess is that some big contracts are about to fall off or at least have a much cheaper out this year.
Before the season began I posted all of this below and had AJ Brown around the 14th best WR. I did have DK metcalf ahead no matter the comparison as it’s subjective anyway.
You make the call on whether you think Brown should have gotten $25 mil/season and was a top 5 paid WR before the season started.
You can even debate after this season so far.
I still don’t think he was worth that, specifically in Tennessee, but there’s some subjectivity here.
Post made 22 APR 22:
“So this what I’ll do, I’m going to post a bunch of WR that have had pretty decent numbers over the last 3 seasons (if they played 3 seasons) and let the rest of the board chime in. Some are better, some are worse but there are more than 10 better.
Ftr, Brown was not That close to Hill. Much closer to mike Williams or Marvin Jones

Everything considered here including games missed, I’d put AJ Brown around 15. That’s subjective which is why I didn’t label the 14 I have above him.”
My vote would be Frank Reich...good choice to develop Willis IMO, and Vrabel seemed pretty defensive of him when he was whacked by the loose cannon Colts owner.
Why anyone would think brown would duplicate his numbers in Philly while still in Tennessee is delusional.
