I still say Randy Hymes would have been a solid receiver for us had he not tore his ACL on a preseason kick off play. He was not very fast to begin with and when he came back his speed never fully returned. Brown has more speed than Hymes had. Big difference between Brown and Hymes is Brown played at an SEC school and Hymes was from an FCS HSBC. Remember Brown was an elite athlete, five star prospect coming out of high school.

I really like Brown based off of what Ive seen. I was just saying dont jump the gun and proclaim him as anything but a unproven rookie. Ravens have had a long laundry list of WRs that never panned out... Johnson, Clarence Moore, DD, Hymes, Clayton, Demetris Williams,Yamon Figurs, yada yada yada.

 

I will admit after drafting TSmith Ozzie has had better success at WR

Jumping the gun a little Oldschool? I remember Randy Hymes having a good preseason once.

Maybe, but Joe seems to really like him and he has shown his ability and game intelligence consistently, so yea I have high expectation for him....

Just an opinion though, that and 4 bucks will get you a Cappo at Starbucks...Know what I mean, Vern ?....lol

 

REPEAT !!!!

No, Hymes couldn't catch, that was a whole different beast there TC.....Marlon is catching everything and making big blocks to boot....Hymes never looked that good the whole time he was here...

 

Gooooo Ravens !!!!

Yeah another good point. Hymes hands were a suspect. I still believe Hymes could have been a good player for us before his injury. We were very weak that season at WR, there was definite opportunity for playing time. Hymes had good leaping ability, strong for his position to fight off the press, strong and elusive runner with the ball in his hands, redzone threat. Anyways, that's in the past...

Depressing list; the worst part is nearly each of those guys would have a game where they would wow you with something. A common trait with all of these guys is none of them have that Boldin killer instinct. Taylor, Moore, Figurs, Johnson, DD, Williams, were all soft. Clayton had great potential, but he was just an inch too short and a tenth of a second too slow IMO.

Marlon Brown has very good potential. Now lets see if he stays healthy and achieves that potential.

 

He'd be on my 53 man roster for sure. And I'd play him some with the 1st string.
