For all you "geniuses" looking to trade Ricky

If you have not noticed the teams that are currently in the playoffs quite a few of them have a 2 back system now or at one point this season were employing a 2 back system.

New England Pats: Dillion/ Pass/ Keving faulk

Steelers: Bettis / Parker

Carolina: Davis / Foster

Chicago: Thomas Jones / Adrian Peterson

So have an Insurance Policy like Ricky Williams for the vet minimum is priceless. You can not get more cost effective than this. You will not find a player in the draft nor trade for a QB that is as cost effective as ricky. He counts like 1.04% against the salary cap. I mean their are endless agruements to not doing this, not of which are off set by getting carr or any other wannabe franchise qb in a trade.
 
I thought adrian peterson still played at oklahoma?


Or am i thinking of somebody else?

Ricky's the man, enough said
 
No, there is an Adrian Peterson on the bears but he is hardly a formidable running back.
 
Take a look at the numbers.

For New England, Corey Dillon had 209 carries. The next highest was Patrick Pass with 54. Kevin Faulk and Heath Evans had 51 carries. That is not a two back system.

For Pittsburgh, Willie Parker had 255 carries. Jerome Bettis had 110 carries. It's a clear starter/back up situation, not a two back system.

For Carolina, Deshaun Foster had 205 carries while Davis had 180 carries. This is a two back system, however, Davis missed a lot of time in which Foster got a majority of the carries.

For Chicago, Thomas Jones had 314 carries while Peterson had 76. That's not a two back system.
 
Why on earth would we trade Ricky? He means more to our squad than a freaking 3rd or 4th round draft pick. He is playing for league minimum, and we are still holding that 8 million law suit over his head. He will play for us and only us unless Saban gets some sort of blockbuster trade, which will never happen with his past. He is walking on egg shells just to stay in the league

Adrian Peterson of the Bears is actually a very good back IMO. They don't split carries though -- The only reason he got 79 carries was because Benson missed 6 games and Jones missed four.
 
Miami:

ronnie brown 207 attempts for 907 yards in 15 games
ricky williams 168 attempts for 743 yards in 12 games

wow. i didn't know ricky have above 700 yards.

i say they get 2000 yards combined next year! what a great combo we have at the RB position. i hope saban keeps them together for many years to come!

Wasn't Carolina one of the worst rushing teams in the league? So the teams have a capable backup, so what? Ricky is good, but I don't think Ronnie or Ricky would be as effective splitting carries. I just think that if you draft a guy 2nd overall, who really has to be the future of the franchise, you've gotta give him every opportunity to meet his full potential, and splitting carries doesn't do that for Ronnie.

KB, I see that you have a thing for the Beast? But is he in an X-Men movie I have not seen or something? Who is that in the sig?

BUt....

But would you not like to have Ricky Williams giving Ronnie Brown the rest he needs intra-game. I mean damn people, we went 9-7 and could have gone 10-6 or possible 11-5 with this system. And that is with a mediocre albeit surprising offensive line. To have that type of quality in a back up is priceless escpecially for 500k a year. Do you think we would have gone 9-7 with Sammie Morris playing when Ronnie got hurt. I don't think so.

it doesn't matter who gets the yards as long as one of them get it.

both finished at 4.4 yards a rush.

who cares who gets the yards? i like the split backfield cause it keeps ronnie fresher as the season goes on and also helps to prolong ronnie's career which is also a good thing.
