I always thought Brown was the easier choice. the only advantage Harris had over Brown was age. He also has the all important familiarity with the Skins version of the Shanahan system as opposed to Harris who's two years removed.

Also lets not forget, Harris hasn't played at least 15 games in a season since 2008. Brown did it last year while hurt. I maintain that Harris is a good fit for the Eagles but part of that is due to having Winston Justice backing him up. If Harris went down for us we'd be pretty screwed.

To put it simply virtually every scout will tell you that Brown is better then Harris in terms of run blocking, pass blocking, durability, versatility, and leadership. And to top it off Brown came back at a reasonable price. Either way we're talking about comparing a pro bowl caliber player to a very solid but oft injured player.
