I was curious, and I've been trying to figure out just exactly what kind of RB we have in Ronnie Brown. The tail of the tape reads that he was drafted #2 overall, he was a major bruiser in college, he had great hands / speed, and was a monster at the NFL combine prior to draft day. All things at the time were pointing to a sure fire, soon to be super-star RB in Miami.....
Needless to say, I was extremely pleased with the pick, and was certain that our running game would eventually become one of the best in the league with Brown now on board. The future was starting to show positive signs, and I had very high expectations for Brown, afterall he was drafted at #2 overall....
Guys like Tomlinson / Johnson / Barber / Alexander / Lewis / and Jackson all crossed my mind when I would try and imagine what kind of RB Brown would eventually become for Miami. The problem is that after two seasons, I still haven't figured out what kind of RB R. Brown will eventually mold into....
My honest opinion of Brown, is that he hasn't even come close to living up to his draft hype / status. He has very little vision, no break away speed, he's inconsistant, and now we can also consider him an injury prone RB. He has all the tools to be one of the NFL's newest elite backs, and he's being paid like one of them too, but where are the results? His supposed talent is too great to be putting up such average numbers in my opinion...
I'm not going to speak for anyone else, but personally, I expected a hell of a lot more from our #2 draft pick RB R. Brown. Maybe he's just a late bloomer, that's always a good possibility, but I'm also tired of waiting. I'm not giving up on Brown by any means, or calling him a bust. However, in 2007 I expect to see a different Brown, the one that plays up to his true skills....
I know this may not be a very popular topic with many of the fans here, but I was tired of reading all of the re-threads, and felt this would be someting everyone could have an opinion on. So, in answering my question, what were the majority of the fans expecting when we drafted Brown, and has he lived up to your own personal expectations....
PHINZ RULE!!!!
