As the new GM would you go after Ronnie Brown?

Nope, dont want players with injury history

I actually wouldn't have a problem at all if we went with Betts as the #1 and Rock as the #2 next year. Neither are long term options though and we need to start thinking about that.

hell yes we should get ronnie brown and then draft tebow, wildcat here we come!!!!!!



sike, no and no

We probably can't get him. He falls into the same category as Campbell and Rogers, draftees with 4-5 years of NFL experience. Even though their contracts will be up, the expiring CBA and uncapped season limits their ability to become unrestricted free agents.

Any player with less than 6 years experience remains the exclusive rights of the team that drafted him. So the Dolphins will be the only team who can negotiate with him. He can only leave if the Dolphins decide they don't want him.

Same for the Redskins with Campbell and Rogers. They can't go negotiating with other teams unless we let them.

I'm eating a lot of crow here, I like what Betts and Rock have done in the last 2 or 3 games when they have been relied upon to move the ball. I especially like them on the field together. If we went rebuild mode I wouldn't have a problem keeping them until we found a viable replacement. Maybe it's Ganther maybe it's not but it would give the team time to aquire someone. In the past I have not liked either Betts or Rock but the good news is they don't have the wear and tear that Portis has and I don't see the need to bring in someone elses broken down backs who have a lot of miles on them.

No. The days of RBs being important enough to commit major resources to are over. He's oldish, been injured and plays the easiest plug and play position in football. Plus his "amazingness" could be attributed to the gimmick offense they run.

They'll probably look very good down the stretch in relief of Ports, but we need to make RB a priority in the draft.

Plus his "amazingness" could be attributed to the gimmick offense they run.Of course, his career (half) season came in 2007 on a terrible team with no offensive line and a basic offensive scheme.

Ronnie Brown is probably the best RB in the league right now (even if Chris Johnson is the top big play back in the league..and not to slight Peterson, Gore, or Jackson), but this is two out of three years that he hasn't been able to play in the second half of the season. In my mind, that's the knock on him.

I'd like for us to spend our 4th round pick on someone like Anthony Dixon or Hardesty from Tennessee

RB is not something we should address with a high draft pick until we have a SOLID, established, offensive line. If nothing else, we can go with a RB by committee game in 2010 with Betts getting most of the carries.
