ATL_Predator+ 1,196 Posted August 17, 2017 Cardinals coach Bruce Arians questioned John Brown's place on the team if he is not able to overcome his sickle-cell issues. Arians said he does not "have any choice" but to wait on Brown to fully recover, but even then the coach is not sure Brown can contribute. "If he can’t run long enough (after he returns)," Arians said, "you’ve got to replace him." The coach has never been one to mince words, but this is a particularly harsh comment considering the illness Brown is battling. Still, Arians is clearly at his wit's end with his receiver group, and it would not be surprising if changes are on the horizon. Brown is a risky pick in the ninth round. I expect Brown will make it through. Sickle cell is no joke, though. Interesting take by Arians though. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
BJORN 679 Posted August 17, 2017 See I thought he was dealing with a hamstring issue now and that they had gotten to a point where his sickle cell was manageable. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

RazorStar 4,025 Posted August 18, 2017 He's not though, he's in the NFC West. But still, that's pretty rough sledding for the Cards. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

BwareDWare94 723 Posted August 24, 2017 John Brown is a really frustrating player. He was supposed to take off and be some kind of stud but he definitely is not. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
