He was rarely injured and a good locker room guy. I don't think he fits the McD mold of linebackers but he is better than anyone we currently have. I am guessing a linebacker will be the Bills second pick in the draft - whatever round that may be. I am still very concerned about the oline- especially with an inexperienced quarterback. It's not hate. It's wanting more athleticism, that's all. Just like people wanted to move on from TT, others also wanted to move on from PB. Like TT PB is a stand up guy. So no I wouldn't say people hate him. We just want better at the position. Because like TT, the limitations in his skillset will hold a coordinator back. If Brown's lack of athleticism were not an issue then people wouldn't have any issue whatsoever having him back. It'll be interesting to see where Marvin Lewis plays him. I think he'll do well in Marvin's defense and hopefully, it lands him a long-term deal with either the Bengals or some other team. Edited March 16, 2018 by NewEraBills 1

Are Preston Brown and Joe Schobert the best inside LB's in the game? Of course not. 1 1

The St Louis, Buffalo, and Washington defenses Fletcher payer for were right up there with the '85 Bears.
Royale with Cheese Posted March 16, 2018 Posted March 16, 2018 1 hour ago, Irv said: I agree. Don't get the hate. He played in the middle. He wasn't going to get 10 sacks. He did exactly like London Fletcher did for years. What do you expect from a MLB? How in the world are London Fletcher and Preston Brown the same? 10 sacks? Did anyone expect sacks from Brown or something? 3 minutes ago, Irv said: Yes. You're right. The St Louis, Buffalo, and Washington defenses Fletcher payer for were right up there with the '85 Bears. Talk about taking a post extremely out of context.
Jamie Muellers Ghost Posted March 16, 2018 Posted March 16, 2018 Greg Cosell was on wgr today talking about middle linebacker options in the draft seems like some very good options right into the second round. http://www.wgr550.com/media/audio-channel/03-16-greg-cosell-john-murphy-show 2
hemma Posted March 16, 2018 Posted March 16, 2018 It wasn't always clear if he was a bit clumsy & slow or just wasn't sure what he wanted his feet to accomplish. Too bad we missed out on Bradham.

billsfan89 Posted March 16, 2018 Posted March 16, 2018 Good for him to go to his hometown team. But honestly, I don't find this to be a player that isn't replaceable fairly easily.
Freddie's Dead Posted March 17, 2018 Posted March 17, 2018 Don't get the PB Blaster hate at all. He was a solid, if unspectacular MLB. All the best to you in your future endeavors Preston Brown. 1

Why all the hate??
IgotBILLStopay Posted March 17, 2018 Posted March 17, 2018 kinda pissed that all it took Cincy to get Preston Brown was 1 year 5 mill. He is certainly worth that - though he did not exactly set Lake Ontario on fire with his play for the Bills. 1
Dadonkadonk Posted March 17, 2018 Posted March 17, 2018 I'm ok with this. Move up and draft QB and then at least 4 front 7 defenders in the draft 23 minutes ago, cba fan said: Can't we just say goodbye to a good Bill in every way character, play, teammate, off the field etc etc......who wanted to stay, and gave his all every down he ever played and came up big in only playoff game Bills have been in in last 18 years.???? Why all the hate?? Don't see any hate on this thread. Apathy yes but no hate. Brown was not polarizing enough to hate nor good enough to care.

The NFL has billions of dollars and the salary cap is close to $180M per team. What do you think the contracts will look like? Its the only word these people know so they repeat it like parrots...

One for which we have little room. So it is natural to analyze the value of a player and what sort of contract he deserves. It's intelligent conversation and the complete opposite of parrots actually. It's healthy debate.
