Maybe What I expect a mod Not to do is bash other people's opinions who feel pass blocking is more important then run blocking, especially when you just said pass blocking was more important over and over in the brown thread as recently as a day or two ago, as you laughed at people who suggested trading brown..
Dude its a forum, its expected that people are going to debate.

I thought it was a terrible idea to trade Brown when they had nobody else at the position beyond Gilliam. Acquiring McGlinchey, a high quality prospect that can start for a decade now means that you can move on from Brown. That is a whole other situation.
Not sure if you've been paying attention or not but I've been talking about the realistic possibility that they would go tackle fairly early for awhile now. I didn't believe it would be in the first round but it was clear that they didn't like something about their tackle situation and that was most likely Brown. Over the past week it became clear that they were actually serious about going tackle in the 1st potentially and you don't draft a guy that early and not have him start, combined with Brown being completely out of shape again and it appears clear that the team has had enough from him.
