You are right but the eye in the sky doesn't lie. Did you ever see progression from brown? Remember he has had starts in others seasons and should have a seasons worth if not more. Some guys have it and some don't. Maybe the light switch comes on for brown, but it won't be in a saints uni.

Sure, I've seen progression from Brown. I am not saying I want him to be the starting LT for this team in the future, but he's gone up against some pretty good pass rushers this season and did OK. I think it is easy to blame him because he's clearly the weak link on the o-line, but how come he rarely struggles at home? I think the offense has communication issues in road games that make the o-line as a whole look a lot worse than they really are.

I don't care for Brown, never have, happy to see Armstead or Strief or whoever step into his place. I just think people are overstating things a little bit in regards to how bad he's played at times.
