Ronnie Brown Haters

bigbade · 08-29-2008, 03:26 PM

So for all of you haters who said "Oh it's time to trade Ronnie, he's a bust, he sucks and Ricky is awesome" what did you think of RB performance last night? 12 carries for 47 yards with a TD and 2 catches for 10 yards one of which he made a great grab by batting it to himself with his hurt hand. Seeing RB look as quick and fluid as he did last night is a great sign for the Fins and should put RB back on top of the depth chart. I can't wait for R and R to lay some tracks all over the league.

He was ok... he certainly is no Ricky Williams... Not a hater.. a realist.

Well I dont know why anyone would be calling for a trade of Ronnie with as volatile and fragile as Ricky Williams has been. Yes he looks great, but so did Ronnie before the injury last year. R needs R, and vice versa...we need to trade NEITHER. BTW 12 carries for 47, that's less than 4 ypc, which is not fantastic....though I would agree he looked good. RB by committee is the way to go...and with two former top 10 picks comprising our committee, it has great potential. We don't need to be comparing and contrasting them, we need to wish one of us could time-travel and take these *******s to Marino!

Comone dude...

guys, Ronnie is our best player, BY FAR...what is up with all the hate???

Ronnie and Ricky are both good. A team needs at least 2 solid RB's to make it in this league. Why would anybody want to trade Brown?

phinasota · 08-29-2008, 03:46 PM

I was one 2 say we should trade Brown and got slammed for it. But I never denied his talent. That wasnt my point. My point was that he has yet 2 finish a season and I'm tired of being let down. With all the other players in the past letting us down lately it was just building the case for Brown to come up in it. Sh!t I hope he can stay healthy because he is a very strong back, just not strong enough 2 stay healthy, lol. I love that one guys sig that shows him running over the raiders defender. Good thing Ricky's looking good... All you Ricky haters!

I'm a Ronnie fan, but it was the forth preseasn game, to every other team in the leauge it means nothing so i'm not judging him till the season starts.

circumstances · 08-29-2008, 03:49 PM

the one play when he exploded through the middle for a good gain reminded of the ronnie prior to his injury last year. damn it was good to see that. honestly i wasn't expecting it this soon after the acl surgery, but i was more than a little relieved.

CitizenSnips · 08-29-2008, 03:49 PM

Rickys Awesome. Ronnies Awesome.

...Awesome...

tcdrover · 08-29-2008, 03:54 PM

Ronnie has always had a hard time getting the credit he deserves. Last year he was having a monster year. Everyone seems to forget that, our team was BAAAAD last year, just imagine how he'll do with a REAL aggresive offensive line and coach.

He just had surgery on his knee and he is already healed and looking pretty good.

I think Ricky & Ronnie will both have big numbers this year. Sporano ran the ball a lot when he called the plays for the cowboys, and Parcell's philosophy has always stressed prioritizing the run. He's is very big on shortening the game by running consistantly.

Rasta · 08-29-2008, 03:56 PM

I cant wait until the J-E-T-S-S-S get a healthy helping of R&R I stare at that ticket at least once a day :-)

Gonzo · 08-29-2008, 03:58 PM

I don't understand the problem some have with having two good backs.

its a good problem to have

PENNDOLPHAN · 08-29-2008, 04:00 PM

I was always a believer of RB and never wanted to trade him, becuase i dont trust RW.

And for all of you saying RB is injury prone, so was RW. But look how he turned out.

bigbade · 08-29-2008, 04:01 PM

believe me I LOVE that we have both of them but honestly I'm tired of hearing the "he never finished a 16 games season" crap. look around the league and you'd be hard pressed to not find a RB that missed games.
