Tonight.  He's back.  But . . . he's not the savior we hoped for.

It was never realistic to believe a different QB was going to make a "big" difference unless he was both an accurate passer and a quick decisive runner. Someone like a more accurate DTR might make this team noticeably better. I never had much use for DTR as a "prototypical QB" but in some cases there is a "fit". We pretty much knew Brown was not that. No surprise here really.

Brown does need to work with the receivers more. Some of the incompletions were due to the receiver not doing what Brown obviously expected him to do. Our pass blocking is not good enough to reliably protect Brown. Our receivers don't get separation in most cases. That said, when the line holds up well enough and the receivers get open "enough" it looks like Brown can get the ball to them. That is encouraging. We might be "better" with Brown instead of Daniels, but it won't be a massive difference. It does provide some hope though, and that is important.
