But how did Brown become a liability? Overplayed? Having to do the work of two or three players because he had people like Funso Ojo around him?
Was Brown not a victim of being in a poor team, and also being 36? Do you think even a younger Nilsen would have thrived in that team?
I think Brown did well but was overplayed in that wrong role/position. I think you stick that version of Scott Brown in our current team and he'd be doing just as well as Nilsen is.
