Brown is better, but is his talent at so much of a higher level over Bushrod that it's worth keeping him and missing out on the chance to shore up our defense with some talent(Julius Peppers maybe or a 1st round draft pick). With the way our offense moves the ball, and with the way the offensive line held up without Brown, I'd say that O-line is the least of our worries.

the short answer is yes

bushrod single handidly stalled out several of our drives this year. as papz and danno have clearly pointed out, there isnt anything out of the ordinary about jammal browns numbers. he is an elite LT and should be considered as a pro bowl front runner every year.

im not calling you out necessarily, but the people that think bushrod held his own have little to no idea about anything that goes on in the trenches. bushrod just needs too much help to consider him a long time starter

with help he is fine for a short term solution, but i dont even feel comfortable with him as a backup because of things like this......if he comes in it takes away from what we are able to do as an offense

i say we draft a versatile lineman like max unger(last year) so we have more flexibility for our backups. a guy that can play all the way from center out to the tackle position would be a huge addition to our depth

Wow...I just made that same comment on another thread, and it does apply here, too. Nobody knows how Brown is gonna come back...didn't he have surgery?
