I dunno man. This entire post sounds like the pot meeting the kettle. I don't agree that you're one of the few MB supporters on this board. I would argue that until his current Houdini act at training camp that most fans on this and other boards blindly support Marlon and can't understand how anyone would question his status on the roster. Some have even gone so far as saying he's "the second best receiver on the team behind Sr." You certainly haven't gone that far, but definitely don't miss an opportunity to plug M. Brown. That said, the stats point doesn't make any sense in this case. MB didn't see his role "decrease" in 2014, he disappeared entirely. I don't care if every single pass he caught last year was a 3rd down conversion (which isn't even close to reality), he caught 24 passes in 14 games playing 36% of the snaps. That's not looking at stats and crafting a story, that's all you need to know. Beyond that, the justification still doesn't hold water. If Brown's lack of stats were a function of circumstance when he was the unequivocal 3rd receiver, how did the 4th receiver outproduce him with even less opportunities?? It doesn't make sense...unless Marlon Brown squandered his opportunities (i.e. Isn't very good). I totally understand your stance. You like Brown. You see something in him. That's fine. But to act like anyone who doesn't agree with that--with perfectly legitimate reason given the atrocity that was his most recent season--is a simpleminded stat troll is just a ridiculous, condescending statement.
