It's too early to say anything about Brown... We've seen him have great game, we've seen him fumble... I see people claiming that he's spiller's replacement and some say Fred's... I think that he's quality depth that holds upside as our current #3 back.
If Whaley has been trying so hard to get him for that amount of time, it tells me he really likes the kid (for the price) and from what Whaley has shown me- I will be all on board with the move until proven otherwise...
