How is Browner doing? I saw some Saints fans bitch about him saying he looked disinterested and playing poorly. Is that on him or the scheme?
A bit of both.
1) Nobody signs a 31 y/o cb to a 3 yr/ $15 mil contract, but we did. For $5 mil a season we could have probably gotten more help at wr, and the oppotunity cost is what fans bitch about more than Browner's play.
2) Browner, for who all his reputation, isn't a Pro Bowl cb. He is big, and he is slow. Rob Ryan doesn't know how to put him in a position to do well, and nobody in New Orleans is shocked by Ryan's ineptness. How that man has lasted so long in the league is beyond everyones comprehension.
A better coach to work under, and placed in better positions, I could see Browner being a better player, but right now, the Saints aren't doing much to help him, and in return he isn't doing much to help them.
