If Ricky Williams does in fact return to the team and is eligible to play after his four game suspension, who would we start as our primary RB? Or, would we platoon Ronnie and Ricky depending on game situation? Let me know.
 
ronnie is our guy. He is the face of this franchise, #2 overall pick.

Whoever plays better and deserves to start as our primary RB. Then again, who says we have to have one primary back? They both could CARRY the load if they both are productive for us.
 
Guys, Ronnie is a great RB prospect.

But chances are he will never be as good as Ricky. Ricky was a one of a kind blue chipper out of college. A team traded an entire drfat for him, and then you guys traded another half a draft +.

If Ricky come back and is a force, he is the best back in the league (argueably) Expecting Ronnie to live up to that is, IMO, foolish.

Which do you think has a better chance of happening: Ronnie Brown playing good and productive (maybe even great) or Ricky coming back to full force?

I agree with you if Ricky comes back to force, he'll not only be most likely better than Ronnie but one of the best backs in the league (once again). I just don't see it happening... unless he changes his attitude, recovers mentally, shows he's responsibile, mature, and hardworking. I feel find that unlikely of happening, but I'm hoping.
 
It depends what Ronnie does weeks 1-4 with broncos, jets and panthers (week 4 is bye week). If anything they will both be in the backfield

On the field no one ever questioned Rickys heart.

I think all of his problems stem from smoking weed, getting paranoid, getting bad advice, and making poor decisions off that advice.

I can tell you as a former weed smoker that around Rickys age I started getting really paranoid from smoking, more so than I ever had. I would freak out on the stuff. I don't know if it s more responsibility in life, or what, but I freaked out enough to quit smoking. I've talked to other former smokers and they've experianced the same type of thing.

If he cleans up and realizes he dosen't need weed, he could be a force again. You can't teach the stuff that made Ricky great.
 
a Bills fan as the voice of reason, I love it.

Losman7's right about Brown, he probably will be a very good back in this league, but we aren't sure.

ricky with dedication is one of the best (at least top 3) RBs in the league.

at worse, we have a good combo to split carries and tire defenses.
at best- all I can say is wow
 
We use them both. Ricky and Ronnie, they'll make a formidable 1-2 punch and save their bodies from the unnecessary wear and tear.
 
I'm just saying if you could give me a choice right now :

Fins w/ Ricky or Fins w/ Ronnie I'm gonna take Ronnie. Ricky killed us.
 
Shoot... we could line both up in the backfield. Remember Ronnie did some lead-blocking for Cadilac in college too!

Either way I am still not sold on Ricky coming back close to what he was before. A year off for just taking a year off makes it hard to remotivate oneself.

agreed. you dont know if he is the same RB that he was befor he retired.

Brown is your future. why base your team around ricky again, when he is only comming back cus he is being sued by the team.
 
Who is saying that Rick's is in any kind of shape to play again.He has not been conditioning himself for almost a year and has
lost body mass, more than likely muscle. Ronnie Brown is in playing
shape.
