As the new GM would you go after Ronnie Brown?
Supposing you are the new Redskins GM would you go after Ronnie Brown after the season? He's currently in his contract season that officially ended yesterday. It would be foolish for the Dolphins to part with such an amazing player, but the Redskins could pay more. Would you? Should we?

Re: As the new GM would you go after Ronnie Brown?
I'm not sure he's worth what we'd have to pay to get him. And can anyone say torn acl?

Re: As the new GM would you go after Ronnie Brown?
Brown is a very good back who can do many things but i wouldnt want to pay what it would take to get him.

Re: As the new GM would you go after Ronnie Brown?
With a better offensive line, cheaper running backs can thrive. Unless you're talking about Adrian Peterson, you wait until the third round or later to start drafting backs. And you absolutely don't break the bank on a high priced free agent running back.

I'm saying, you shouldn't necessarily wait until the third round. Most teams already avoid RBs in the top half of the NFL draft, but there's first round running backs, just like first round quarterbacks, and first round cornerbacks, and first round TEs. Running backs have a specific control over the outcome over the game second to only quarterbacks, so it's clearly critical that you have a good one. Just like any other position, if you can find a "first round" talent in the fourth round, you do it obviously. Where teams tend to screw up is rewarding runners with monster second contracts (LJ, Shaun Alexander) for past performance. It's disloyal to just let them walk after having a great season, but the alternative of dead money to a player who can't produce more than justifies the decision to let an incredibly productive 27 or 28 year old RB walk.

Re: As the new GM would you go after Ronnie Brown?
He's had some pretty serious injuries and he was just put on IR. Besides that I'd rather look to the draft and not spend big money on a RB, again.

Re: As the new GM would you go after Ronnie Brown?
Uh, is there something wrong with Betts and Rock?
I had to say that. Especially since some think they are the best.  Is there something wrong with Ganther? Obviously we have not seen enough of him to call him Portis's replacement but I was excited to hear he actually blocked well, and ran well. Heard he trucked 2 people? Can we not see if he is the Portis type of back we have needed to replace him and maybe pick up a bruising back to compliment or look for a scat back if Ganther can keep trucking people? |

Re: As the new GM would you go after Ronnie Brown?
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.
