We can use this thread to keep track of which players are deserving of going to Hawaii.
As of Week 7:
CB Brandon Browner = also obvious
|
Hmmm........ You say Browner is an obvious pro bowler, but you insisted that we trade him during our board mock draft.  What gives?  |
How does his performance in 2012 correlate with a mock draft done in the offseason? |
Because he was a Pro Bowler in 2011 and likely a Pro Bowler in 2012. I can't for the life of me, figure out why you would wanna get rid of that. Just as it was back then, it doesn't make sense. I always thought in order to build a winning program, you should keep the good players and ditch the bad players. That's all I'm saying.  |
He didn't deserve the Pro Bowler in 2011, he wasn't even the best corner on his team. He only got it because of his interceptions. He didn't play like a Probowl CB, he got beat fairly often and committed a huge amount of penalties.
This year he have played better, but there is no way Browner makes the Pro Bowl this year with the way Bears corners are playing. Sherman isn't even a Pro Bowl lock, he deserves it, but I'm not sure he makes it.
It's a stretch to use the Pro Bowl to measure Browners play I think, don't get me wrong, Browner is a very good corner, but he isn't playing at Probowl level when you compare him to his competition. |
You do know that more than one CB from the NFC goes to the Pro Bowl, don't you? Three go from each conference. |

He's saying your evaluation of him was wrong 
To be fair, Cromartie would be pretty sick to have paired with Sherm. |
I would still trade Browner for a 2nd these days. He's damn good but not that good and I doubt we extend him beyond this contract. Nothing about that has changed. I know he's a great player.
And Osprey over here talking and he was adamant about not getting Cromartie in the same mock |

Wrong. My logic goes Routt>Browner. When you can get more value for the lesser player, you take that.
And please, spare me your claim that Browner is better. Seriously, I don't wanna read it. It's nonsense. |
Funny. You wanted to replace Browner with Stanford Routt. You know, the guy who was cut by the worst team in the NFL, last week.

I think I was talking about at a value standpoint (Browner for a 2nd and Routt for a 4th), but regardless I was wrong

Do you think that Browner was among the top 3 corners in the NFC in 2011 ? Do you think he is among them this year?

Browner made the PB because he had sexy stats, not that he was technically the best CB based on metrics.
And I think that Brandon Browner will become a cap casualty. If we don't trade him, another team will overpay for him. He could get something close to #1 CB money.

Absolutely. I voted for Tillman, Sherman and Browner. I'm not the type of guy who is gonna vote for all Seahawks, but I can honestly say that I believe these are the best 3 NFC cornerbacks of 2012. |

Unless we pick up a free agent CB of equal value, I don't think that happens this offseason. We currently have no one to replace him and we have too many other needs (WR, OLB and RT), to be creating another need for an immediate starter. |

Is Browner a FA after this season or next? The problem we will run into is that our Secondary is going to be very expensive very soon, and I think that Sherm and ET will be our #1 and #2 priorities.

Browner is extremely cheap. In 2011 he signed a 3 year $1.29 million contract. This year he makes $465,000, next year he makes $555,000 and in 2014 he's a restricted free agent. I wouldn't even worry about his contract until that time. |

Phew I thought so. But what I'm saying is that I could see Browner going to another team, who might overpay for him, especially if he maintains his current standard of play.

Given his contract status, that won't be until at least, 2014 and since he would be a restricted free agent, we could get a very high pick in return, depending what we value him at. Looking at the contracts of the guys in our secondary, that is one area where we are set, for the next couple of seasons. |

Is he technically counted as a rookie as well? I need to get my *** together and pick up on this crap. In that case, we might as well keep him or let a team give up a nice draft pick for him.

I was just curious because you said that he will be an RFA. I don't think that he ever made the 53-man squad with the Broncos either.
