I find it nearly an impossible stretch to think that's the only time that happened. Same thing with Dalton. MB wanted to draft Kapernick at the time. Coaches wanted Dalton, so that's who they got.
Mike Brown gets a lot of stuff dumped on him due to perception.... mainly because he just allows it to happen and doesn't do interviews. It is what it is.
Mike Brown gets a lot of stuff dumped on him due to his record as a GM.
192-284-4 and 0-7 in the playoffs.
As they say you are what your record says you are.
Maybe Mike Brown wanted to draft Drew Brees, and Kapernick, but he hired Dave Shula, Dick Lebaeu, Bruce Coslett, and he got lucky when he hired Marvin Lewis, even though that was at the suggestion of Katie and Troy.
He's lucky he's isn't catching blame for the Dave Shula protégée hiring in Zac Taylor.
You can only hide so long w/o talking to the media and giving interviews because they want to know why you run your fathers franchise into the ground.
