Flacco got hot in the playoffs and won a Super Bowl in his contract year and put Ozzie over the barrel. A few years later, the Ravens are paying #7 QB money to the #26 rated passer, which is a bad return on the investment.
Everyone passed on Brown, so I can't give Ozzie too much grief, there. Besides, Brown is a system WR, and without the full arsenal of pick plays the Steelers normally use to get him seperation, he's fallen back down to earth the past few games.
Looking like an average receiver against a defense that's being lead by Manti Te'o can't be good for the self-esteem.
