So there's an article on NFL network saying that Orlando Brown is expected to sign for 6 years $145 mil.
That comes to $24.16 mil/yr and makes him the highest paid offensive lineman in football. It also would give him the 19th highest salary per year in the NFL
How would you feel if that is the contract he ended up signing?
I'm fine with it. He is a top 5 LT and he's only 26 next season. A young great LT is a guy you can't let leave. [Reply]
Paying him as the top LT in the game right now aav and getting him for 6 years would be a very smart move. It would make him dirt cheap the first 2 years and by the time his cap hits go up, the salary cap in exploding.
To me, that seems like a no brainer.
He’s 26
He has HOF bloodlines
He has a superb work ethic
He wants to win
He will continue to improve as he refines his technique and chemistry with Pat and Thuney
The whole contract will be his prime years [Reply]

Whatever. How many media outlets think we should give him what he wants? None them do so I guess they don't know the game like us. Bullshit. He isnt that good and Andy and Veach know it. [Reply]

That's not necessarily what was happening 100% of the time. He was flat out beat on speed rushers a lot before we changed our offense.
Harold Landry flies by Orlando Brown here to get sack number 7.5. Bud Dupree with a sick inside counter too gets there half a sec after Landry 💙 #Titanspic.twitter.com/JPFc0vsmoo

One of those is a sack against the best pass rusher in the NFL, in his first game with KC. But yes, he got beat. And yes, he got beat on speed rushes legitimately at times.
He also improved a lot over the course of the season, and once Mahomes became more disciplined stopped having nearly so many problems.
The point was that just because a guy speed rushes and gets pushed wide of the pocket really deep in the pocket does not mean the defende won the rep. [Reply]

I just put him on ignore. Can't take reading the same uninformed opinion over and over.
I've also decided it's pointless to argue with all the idiots in the thread that can't seem to wrap their head around the fact that OBJ is going against guys that are also really fucking good. The difference in talent between NFL caliber players is so small that even minor disadvantages become huge burdens. When Mahomes drops back 12 yards, then that makes Brown's job much more difficult. Edge rushers knew they could just go as fast as they could and pretty much go in a direct line to the QB without having to bend.
In Mahomes first couple of years he wasnt dropping back and bailing on the pocket immediately. He was a master of working in the pocket. That all changed the last part of 2020 when the interior OL was shit and he was getting pressure up the middle constantly and Geoff Schwartz even brought it up, because Mitchell Schwartz didn't look good. That changed the middle of last year and he got back to being a stud in the pocket, because he could trust his OL.
Anyone saying Fisher is better just doesn't remember how masterful Mahomes was in the pocket and if Fisher would have been LT for us last year, then Mahomes would have been killed. [Reply]

Fisher was a good LT when we had Smith too though... [Reply]
