When you consider the age limit for productive running backs usually ends near the age of 30..you almost have to wonder if any running back that old (24) is really worth it. I know you're going to say he didn't get banged up much in college becaue he split carries, but you could say the same for Williams and he's, what..a couple years younger? I dunno. Just a thought.
 
Need to be more positive on Ronnie. When he gets into camp it will take a bit sure, but once he does, I think he will make our offensive line look that much better!:beerbang:
 
be thankful we're not spending it on someone like cedric benson. I believe you could knock 2-3 years off his career thanks to the amount hes already worked himself in college.
 
When Ronnie Brown gets into camp and starts doing what these other running backs aren't doing.....i.e....picking up the blitz, catching passes out of the backfield, and running with decisiveness and authority......, you guys will be all over his jock.

Just for the record, I really like Ronnie and think he will be a stud.

However, contractually I think he is a moron.

If a person is a moron for trying to get the money he deserves, then I guess I'm a moron as well. Because I tell you right now, there's no way I'd accept a 5% increase in pay when everyone else around me is getting 15% increases. You are stupid if you would accept it.

100% agreed man the kid will be ready when he shows up the guy is a stud once he gets into a groove watch out afc east opp....... :D
 
5-15% increases when you are talking about 50,000 is one thing... When it's 19 million is another... I know he is a great player, and could be a stud for us... But take the money and get on the field already! 19 million? Versus 21, 22 million... What, not enough $$ to buy that Bentley? Not enough of a financial cushion? And he hasn't even stepped on an NFL field yet...

I believe only Alex Smith got a 15% increase and the consensus around the league was that he was overpaid.
Since when does one team get to set the market for everyone else? Just because one team makes a bad business decision doesn't mean the other 30 have to also.
 
I hope Ronnie Brown squeezes every available nickel out of Huizenga. Ronnie was hardly my first choice for us to identify at #2, but it's pathetic ignorance for fans to side with the greedy and lying owners year after year, player after player. And don't give me this bunk about salary cap concerns because I'm in my 40s and plenty old enough to remember simpleton fans siding with ownership every time even when there was no salary cap to worry about. I have three friends from college who went to work for professional sports franchises and their tales about front office lies and abuses would fill a dozen episodes of 60 Minutes.

Still, regarding Ronnie Brown, it will never compute that a 5th year RB is worthy of the 2nd pick in any NFL draft. That's contradictory in itself. If a RB is legit good enough to be picked that high there's no chance he stays in college five years. In fact, he'll typically be gone in three years. The only way a RB of that caliber should spend 5 years in college is due to major injury causing a redshirt year, in which case he's never going to be picked #2.
