Noah Brown's Progress?

[Scotman]

I was excited about this guy's potential when we picked him up. Big enough at 6'2" and 220. Fast enough at 4.57. Strong enough at 19 reps of 225.

Just ZERO experience or polish.

From all of you that are better equipped to make an educated judgement, how is he progressing? Does he have a future? JAG? Solid number 2 or 3? Eventual number 1?

yes, enquiring minds want to know.
how is his routing running?
how good r his hands?

Well, they've kept him active over players like Rico that a lot of people wanted to see more of, that says something. He's gotten some reps in at offense, and they've thrown to him. They clearly wanted to keep him practicing this season.

I think he slides in as the in-house replacement for Butler next season and we go from there. They ought to replace Butler's spot on the roster with a speed guy who can stretch the field and put pressure on TWill the season after that.

Or, we're looking at a pay cut for Dez or a higher replacement draft pick for that position group, instead. Or a veteran in FA, maybe. I don't think it's necessarily a good year for WRs in VFA though, is it? Who's out there? Jarvis Landry? Terrell Pryor? I haven't looked closely at that market yet. But we're overpaying Dez and have swallowed much of that cap hit. It's time to get realistic about paying him going forward.

All I know is Vochlombardi (YouTuber) had a funny segment in his analysis of last week's game featuring Noah and a great block.

I think our coaches don't trust the young offensive players, for whatever reason. Stashing Rico may be legit, but they've barely given Switzer or Brown much to do on offense, except special teams plays and blocking.

He’ll replace ol skillet hands Butler if they don’t sign or draft somebody next year

 

[ghst187]

Love to see Brown develop into a big possession type guy and see us go get a speedster either in the draft or FA.

 

[Aven8]

Only blocks and has caught 2 passes all season. Our coaches never try new players, it's frustrating!

Its time to get realistic about the prospect of replacing him also.
This team doesnt like overpaying for free agents. Our defense is a mess and can't be ignored in the draft.

Dez has become the new cowboyszone Tyrone Crawford. At least Dez has produced i guess. Crawford has been stealing Jerry's money for years.

It's not just about the cost of keeping a player. Its also about the cost to replace a player. I dont think we are in the position to create new holes which would cause us to use valuable resources filling these holes instead of using these resources filling old holes.

It would surely be nice to get some speed around here though. Why we resigned T Will is beyond me. He is mediocre in all aspects.

Hard to say unless you can watch the practices.

Barely gets snaps unless it's to run block. Potential is there based off his physical talents.

Free Brown! Free Switzer! Free Bird!

Just threw that last one in there for the Sky nerd fans [oh, what a glorious autocorrect--I'll have to leave it...].

agreed but we have a odd collection of players and contract dates

 

[haleyrules]

Hard to say since he doesn't get any targets. Too bad.

Next year will be Noah's break out year.

You will get all those questions answered next July and August.

This.

Don't get me wrong, I love Dak, but I can't help but think Tony Romo would have made this guy a star.

Career ceiling, that WR that is on a roster that makes a Pro Bowl as a ST player.

He’s a tight end
