**** Evans, horray for Ronnie, has more heart than most of our current roster. Still have, and wear his jersey.
Ronnie Brown finally broke away for a TD run

He was really good until he tore his acl in 07 and then he had the foot injury in 09. He wasn't the same after the acl tear.
Ronnie was so clutch we had to revive a long dead formation to get him to run the ball consistently.

That acl was off of a bad play too...it was a turnover I think and he was trying to tackle the defender

He rushed for 177yds all season. He broke a 58 yard run against a worn down Bengals defense. No thanks!!
Ronnie Brown has had a HUGE day for the Chargers today, leading them to victory in the AFC Wildcard game. What a gutsy clutch performance by him stepping in for the injured Ryan Matthews today. He just busted a 58 yd rushing TD to seal it. He looks like the Ronnie of old, and at this point is BETTER then Lamar Miller and Daniel Thomas.
Fins should sign him for next season!!!!

Fasano sucked. Sean Smith sucked. Ronnie Brown got lucky and had a decent day. Richard Marshall is terrible. Glad they're gone.
Pardon me but "the Ronnie of old" wasn't all too exciting. Remember all those Ricky or Ronnie threads? They existed because no matter how bad we wanted to believe Ronnie was "the guy", it was a pot-addled, CFL-exhiled back nearing the end of his career who was more reliable when it came time to make a play. Ronnie danced in the hole way too much for a powerful human being.
The one thing I'll never understand is why we didn't use Brown in the passing game more. For all the terribleness that Cam Cameron brought us, it was his offense that had Brown close to 1,000 yards from scrimmage by the 6th or 7th game of the season before he tore his knee up. I know, we were 0-6 or 0-7 but my point is Brown was a yardage machine in that offense and he caught the ball nicely out of the backfield. If he didn't get hurt that year, he had a real shot at 2,000 yards.

Cam Cameron used Ronnie well, and that was the single one thing he was actually good at out of the dozens of things he wasn't.
Amen to that.

Boy oh boy...just because he didn't get the carries with us doesn't mean that he is garbage.
From the first year on he had an average of 4.3 and better per carry. That's a really good number. Except for one year (2006) he never got the carries a feature back should get (250-300 per year). In 2006 he had over 1000 yards. If Ronnie would have gotten around 240-250 carries a year he'd broken the 1000 yard barrier every single year except maybe in his last year with us in which his average dropped to 3.7/carry.
Not sure how we can blame our FO for bad decisions and at the same time diss our former players. Either our former players were all garbage and Ireland and Co made good and sound decisions over the last years or we have jump over our jealousy that we let good players go and our FO made bad decisions. So what is it?

No. He has 513 yds rushing in 3 years. I don't get why everytime a former Dolphin does something in the NFL that it's on them for letting him go. He's still a professional football player. He's supposed to make a play or two while still in the league.
