Just don't put the backup label on Brown, and we will all be happy.
 
Travis Minor = Backup

Lamont Jordan until this year = Backup

Brock Forsey = Backup


Ronnie Brown = Stud #2 pick
 
Dude there's already a thread on this..what the hell?

Ok I think people are willing to say technically speaking Ronnie Brown was a backup... What people really want to know, is if you think that Brown is better than Caddy and played almost as much (507 carries to 741 career) why do you insist to put the BACKUP label on Ronnie Brown???????????????

I think Ronnie Brown is more versitile than Caddy, and i think he will do better for us than Caddy would have. I insist on putting the backup label on him because he was. and why i give a reputable quote from and interview where Brown him self says he did not start that much, and people still want to say he was not Caddies back that ignorence annoys the hell out of me. I mean for chr*st sake Ronnie Brown himself said he did not start much and that is not good enough what more do you want.
 
Ronnie was a better slot receiver, blocker, -- they didn't utilize him the same way because they never needed to.

In that case I think all of FinHeaven should be in uproar that we just drafted a BACKUP running back with the #2 pick...

He was a backup.

Priest Holmes was a backup( to Ricky williams and to Jamal lewis)

a backup is what he was that is fact. it does not bother me nowhere near as much as it bothers all of you to hear that.

Yes...

Backup implies that you are not good enough to be the starter.. We both agree that Brown is better than Caddy... This is why people do not think Brown should be labeled as a backup...And he played almost as much as Caddy...
 
Beating a dead horse
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia.

In American English, "beating a dead horse" is an idiom which is most often used as a retort used to make clear that a particular request or line of conversation is already foreclosed, mooted, or otherwise resolved. In Australian English and British English, the phrase is more usually rendered as "flogging a dead horse".

The linguistic roots of this phrase draw on an allusion to literally "whipping" or "beating" a deceased horse in order to make it get up and go. Such efforts, of course, would be utterly fruitless, as dead horses no longer move under their own power.

Likewise, when one is "beating a dead horse", one is flailing at a dead or useless idea.

This term is different from "shutting the stable door after the horse has bolted" which refers to not taking action until after a problem has already occurred. Rather, "beating a dead horse" is about the futility of one's complaints or actions.

When one "shuts the stable door after the horse has bolted" it does not return the bolted horse, but it does keep other horses from escaping the same way. However, when one is "beating a dead horse", no amount of action or argument is going to change the facts or the situation.

No backup implies to don't start at your position. Caddy started Brown didn't.
