Brown is one of the premier left tackles in the NFC if not the whole NFL....the criticisms started when trade talks started about using him to move up into the #2 spot to land dorsey....our offensive line is not expendable....they gave drew time last year and allowed the fewest sacks in the NFL....since we got rid of faine we had to fix a whole...we brought in matt lehr to do that...our line is back to where it was....dorsey on defense wouldnt fill the void left by Brown missing at LT

What?!?! Brown is average...nothing more at LT. He's strong at RT, but not LT.

Question: What offensive lineman led the Saints in penalties for the last 4 seasons?

Answer: J. Brown

Does a premiere LT lead your team in penalties? Nope. Do the research....though Drew Brees was rarely sacked last year, which side did the majority of those sacks come from? Here's a hint....it wasn't the right. Also....did you notice that the team had more rushing yards up the middle & to the right? Surely, we should have had more yards rushing to the left behind a premiere LT like Brown, right? (Sacasm intended).

Now....I'm all for keeping Brown, but please do not come with the he's a premiere LT BS. He's not. He had one...yes, one Pro Bowl because the Saints made it to the NFC championship game. There were more deserving offensive lineman on our team that year (Evans) that didn't get the invite. Why? What is a right handed QB's most noticed offensive lineman? LT (even if they are not as good as advertised).
