PS17 Posted June 4, 2009 Share Posted June 4, 2009 Is this a serious question? If 124 & Klecko get into it with the Pats fans this will go 100 pages easy. It's Maynard. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
StillerPaul Posted June 4, 2009 Share Posted June 4, 2009 As much as i know it will upset Garby, Troy Brown was wayyyyyyy over rated. Maynard and it ain't even close. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

#27TheDominator Posted June 4, 2009 Share Posted June 4, 2009 Maybe we should refer back to the bad players of the 90's thread. Other receivers who have been on the Jets with last names starting with M that are better than Troy Brown: Terance Mathis and Tony Martin. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

#27TheDominator Posted June 4, 2009 Share Posted June 4, 2009 Hey i think my team had Mathis for a year or 2 as well. My memory is sketchy. I thought he was pretty good. Yep, his last year. Don't think he did much for you guys though. A better argument would be Stanley Morgan against Maynard. It would be a better argument, but not a real argument. Maynard had more yards, way more TDs, and more catches. Morgan had .5 more ypc, but 10 yards less ypg. Morgan was actually better than Martin and Mathis.

124 Posted June 4, 2009 Share Posted June 4, 2009 Don Maynard is better than any receiver in the history of the New England Patriots, minus Randy Moss, but even Moss had his best days in Minnesota. His best season was in NE, but best overall time was in Minnesota. If someone believes that Troy Brown is better than Don Maynard they should stop watching football. How many 1,000 yard receiving seasons did Brown have? I believe only one or two. Maynard got 1,000 without even trying, in less games. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If the Steelers beat the Cowboys it would not be like Neil O'donell made them so much better.

Pyper Posted June 5, 2009 Share Posted June 5, 2009 Troy Brown's value can't be evaluated by analyzing his statistics. He wasn't a stat compiler. He wasn't flashy. He was just one heck of a football player. A complete football player. He did so many little things well. In many ways he exemplifies everything the Patriots have been about this decade. Their heart, their passion, their game intelligence. Scratching, clawing, fighting their way to victory. That's Troy Brown. When I think of Troy Brown I think of 3 plays. 1) His catch vs the Giants in the '96 season finale on the game deciding possession. An absolutely sick catch where Brown was flat on his back and reached up behind his head and snagged it out of the air. Perhaps the most difficult catch I've ever seen. 2) A devastating hit he made while playing special teams against the Colts in 1999, I think. He completely knocked out the return man and helped spark a Patriots comeback after trailing 28-7 in the 2nd half. 3) His strip after a Brady interception in the '06 playoffs against the Chargers. Actually there's plenty more. Of course I'll always remember his big catch against the Rams in SB 36 that set up the winning FG. Or his lateral for a TD vs the Steelers after picking up the blocked kick. He was just one of those players that always seems to find a way to make big plays. I wouldn't call him a Hall of Fame WR even though his hands were as good as any I've ever seen, but he should definitely be a Hall of Fame football player. Jets fans will probably never understand this type of player until you get a guy just like him on your team. His greatness just can't be measured in statistics. Oh, btw....Stanley Morgan was better than any receiver the Jets have ever had. It's a crime that he isn't in the Hall. On a better team with a better QB, he could have been Jerry Rice (minus the longevity). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Oh, btw....Stanley Morgan was better than any receiver the Jets have ever had. It's a crime that he isn't in the Hall. On a better team with a better QB, he could have been Jerry Rice (minus the longevity). You were going along fine until that last paragraph. Stanley Morgan was NOT as good as Maynard. It's not close. I checked the numbers yesterday, less catches, less yards, 15 or so less TDs. Morgan had .5 more ypc, but 10 less ypg. If you are going to pipe up about QB talent than remember that all you Patsie fans would have to shut up about Namath, who probably wasn't even on the field for half of Maynard's games. As for Troy Brown, we all have our pet players, guys that go over and above. For Jets fans it's usually Chrebet, but that certainly doesn't equate with Maynard. If it did Troy Brown would have been starting instead of Randy Moss. It's not like Maynard was missing some precious intangible. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
