I get Brown is a rookie, but that doesn't change the fact that he's been giving up some huge plays. Some people on here keep talking about him like he's shutting people down. He's not.

Well to be fair, it's really only been the Steelers game and one play to desean that he muffed. Agreed his play has suffered (as to be expected) but he's definitely been good overall.

I wasn't being condescending when I asked my question, it was a genuine one

not sure what the "guess who" video meant, to be honest (though to be fair I was at work and was too lazy to grab my headphones to actually listen to the audio of it)

No, you called me a know it all but that's ok. I have reasonable thick skin so I'm ok with it. Really. I don't say as much professionally anymore as it appears most don't pay attention to it.

EDIT: it was not @Maverick84 who called me a know it all and I have apologized to that gentleman. Just Oldtimer's Syndrome here by me.

A lot of the fans here their own air-tight logical systems. Works a bit like this:
1. I want him back
2. We need him back
Ergo...he'll be suited and ready to play at an all-pro level by Sunday. Book it.

where did I call you a know it all?

I honestly just asked if you were a doctor, think you're confusing me with someone else

There are maybe a handful of cornerbacks in the entire league who aren't going to give up some huge plays. Remove all pass rush and I'm not sure there are any such corners.

The Desean Jackson TD was pretty horrible. Worst play on defense we've had all year.

The Hatred of Carr from cowboys fans is so misguided and absurd.

Agreed.

There is a contingent of fans that think any cornerback who doesn't shut his guy down like Deion is a worthless piece of crap. Carr isn't all-pro but he's a very decent all-around cornerback.

You're right. I am confused with another poster. You have my profuse and sincere apologies. I will either leave up all the conversations/posts or will take them down should you be embarrassed. I'm the one who should be embarrassed though not you.

Sure. But Desean has embarrassed a lot of guys over the years--including some really good corners. Brown had a breakdown in fundamentals that play but he's been quite solid overall.

Soft. I routinely tear my wife's pelvis off completely and she's never missed any time.
dolls don't have any feelings, though.

Brown will be a player for us if he wants it. He has the physical tools. Only two plays last game bothered me. The Desean bomb and the play to the Commander wr who came back to the ball on the sideline when Cousins threw it with the sun in his face. Should've been picked, he just threw it up in typical Cousins fashion

I agree that the Jackson TD was a lapse by Brown, but overall he has played as well as many first rounders have, and we got him in the 6th round. Bash on him for being a late round pick if you want, but so far he has soundly surpassed expectations for a rookie drafted in any round (except maybe a top 10 pick). He is a big reason why we are 10 and 1.

Jerry was just on the fan and pretty much guaranteed he would be back without a doubt.

Morris could be back sometime in December.

You are tired of the guy who plays and practices every week who is a good player and a role model off the field? Odd.
Yep. Be careful what you wish for...you may not like what you get in his place.

If MO can get a couple games in before the playoffs to regain his pre-injury form, that is huge. Brown has a been a great revelation and has proved hes got a future, but he's just not there right now. He lack's consistency. I'd be more comfortable with him and Scandrick splitting time since its obvious Scandrick hasn't been able to regain his pre-injury form. Plus, with Church back as well, Brown would be a valuable asset in Dime packages.

The defense that we saw prior to the Church and Mo injuries is the defense Dallas can live with in the playoffs.

There are far more passes completed on him than he breaks up. He is a good tackler, but we aren't paying him that much money to just tackle. We paid him to be a shutdown cornerback.
