I've said it from the start - a healthy version of Fisher was almost certainly better than Brown will be for us. Brown's just a different kind of player and not an ideal fit here.
But that version of Fish wasn't available. Guy got hurt. And you can see he's still not healthy in Indy.
Fisher was criminally underrated by most here. He was a very good player and damn near perfect fit for this team. Brown is probably a good player, but nowhere near as good a fit.
But he was also probably as good an option as we had available to us in 2021. It just is what it is. The injury to Fisher combined with Schwartz's back problems just couldn't have been anticipated and they happened at one time. A Remmers/Niang/Brown trio is about as good as could've been expected given that Pro Bowl bookends of the OL collapsed simultaneously.
