Does anyone still have faith in Reggie Brown (1 Viewer)

[jurrassic]

I was just curious whether anyone still believes he will be relevant this year?

about as relevant as Lee Evans & Mark Clayton, although he has potentially a better situation at QB.

He'll have a couple of good games in that offense and if McNabb can become more consistant he could be decent. I wouldn't want to have to start him right now though.

Brown has not lived up to expectations in Philly this year. He's been getting man handled at the line of scrimmage and is not able to recover from this contact at the line and then get into a position where he can receive the ball. Also, he has not shown the ability to regularly catch balls over the middle. In fact, Kevin Curtis, who is a much smaller player and whose claim to fame was his speed down the field, has shown a much better knack for catching passes over the middle than Brown. As the poster who responded before me mentioned, it's possible Brown will do alright in spots because the offense can go off for 28+ points in spots but I would definitely advise against counting on him for any type of regular production.

I believe he is referring to Jim Brown.Brown was a great player, but he retired long ago.

I want to have faith. I want to pick him up off waivers and play him this week but he's shown me nothing.

Stole my line! Was going to say Evans/Clayton owners may believe in him.If you own Brown (and don't want him), deal him to the Evans/Clayton/Hines/D-Jax owner. You can't be the only frustrated owner! If you own all these guys, better luck in 2008

'rarely injured' reggie will have a few good games this year, but I think he was a little overhyped around draft time.

people just set their expectations too high.

to be fair about it, there are a lot of players who haven't lived up to expectations, but the season's young.
