Re: Another Front office Blunder

I know that you can say that, but who knows if he would have gotten hurt in Washington?

Wow, I'm typing well for being hammered. I PROMISED i'd be drunk tonight.

You can't say he would have gotten hurt in Washington, but there would be a better than average chance. Some guys are just fragile, unlucky, whatever. It's too bad, he probably could have been pretty good though. I just wanted to point it out, because so many are quick to point at the negative signings, or misses. It's one thing t o go after a Moss, or Springs, that had SOME injuries, but the list of this guys injuries is ridiculous. We did the right thing on passing.

Re: Another Front office Blunder

I feel sorry for Courtney Brown here. Coming out of Penn State, he looked to be a potential star in the NFL. He played really well in Cleveland in his rookie year for about 8-10 games until he got hurt. And then he got hurt again -- and again --- and again.

There is scant evidence that Brown is a malingerer or a dressing room problem-child, so I can't say that he deserves this cruel twist of fate. As I said, I feel sorry for him ...

But I'm not horribly surprised that he's hurt yet again.

Re: Another Front office Blunder

weren't his other injuries to his legs (I don't know a lot about his time in Cleveland)? if this was from a badly angled fall or something, it doesn't matter who u r and what past injuries u've had when it comes to landing with a lot of your weight on one part of your body. anything can happen at anytime especially in such a physical occupation and I still would have liked to have seen him sign a perfomance based contract here, but I'm confident Williams can get a mixture of guys to keep up the pressure.

Its funny, but it hardly seems like Lavar and Courtney Brown came out the same year. He has slipped so deep into obscurity, and has done nothing worth mentioning ... Lavar seems light years past him.
