i would of just cut the entire leaf off if they where in that bad of shape...

I would definitely cut the entire leaves off. Unlikely that it will noticeably hurt the health of the plant, in fact it will probably help in the long run.

After some schultz's insecticidal soap fried my plants I did this at first and cut off the bad parts... it actually seemed to work ok... some plants do not handle it well, but others are not so bad...

eventually I just cut them off but I doubt it would hurt anything to trim the brown off for a while... but if they are low enough to touch the dirt it may be better to just cut them off anyway
