Nah not even close... Evan freaking Spencer

I loved Spencer, and he made some clutch plays in his career...but as an overall blocker no one is close to Brown's full body of work this year.

I think we often times judge players on a small number of memorable plays.

Agreed as to Roy Hall, but with better hands. Roy had a cup of coffee with the Colts and maybe Noah will be able to catch on with the right team and have some success. Peculiar thing about this is how effusive Meyer was in praise of Brown (I think of him as a son, etc.) at the beginning of the season, then crickets, both in terms of production and mention. To go from the Okie game to this just doesn't make any sense and makes me wonder where/how things went off of the rails.

Apart from being bigger WRs, I don't see any comparison between Hall and Brown...at all.

Size, decent blocking ability, relative inability to get open. Brown definitely is more athletic and has better hands.

Wow. That's a pretty damning statement of Smith. Who is that guy? A legit opinion? I don't follow analysts, etc.

Hmmm. Very interesting comment then. Urb is just so into recruiting and is so loyal too.....wonder what kind of conversations he has with Zach? And the twitter BS to boot.

I think there is a big difference in the reasons why Marshall left and why Brown is leaving. Marshall could be an electrifying player, but I don't think he was ever really cut out to be a receiver (should not be taken as an insult). Brown had a bad injury, and wants to get paid. I don't think Smith is the issue in either case.

No way, he wasn't a true WR in high school and not that talented? How could that be? Zone 6 sucked.

Huh? Hall was an athletic freak of nature

Same guy who said Burrow was transferring.

Take it with a grain of salt.

Enough said.

I remember him as not being as functionally athletic. He didn't seem to be able to do as much with what he had as maybe expected.
