Ronnie vs. Caddy 2006

[NJL52]

I still think Ronnie and Caddy are very close. I haven't seen enough of Caddy to decide.

From the limiting amount that I have seen it looks as Caddy is better. That being said, I haven't seen his pitfalls.

So I still rate them pretty close.

and tons of fumbles

Gore has lost 4 fumbles and Ronnie has lost 2

Caddy 1 and Benson 0. Gore is also averaging 5 yards a carry to Ronnie's 4.

Ronnie lost 4 fumbles last year and Gore lost 2 so for thier career they have 6 fumbles apiece and Ronnie has carried the ball a 100 times more though.

You missed the point and didn't bother to read the six pages that came before your post. There are always going to be great players taken in the later rounds.

Yes, Gore is having a great year, and may very well turn out to be one of the best RBs in that draft. But he wasn't an option at the #2 overall spot.

NOBODY rated him that high. And he would have been a reach beyond all reaches. If you've got the #2 overall pick, and your team desperately needs a RB and QB, you damn well better pick the best RB or QB coming out.

This thread was started to give us something, anything, to feel good about back when the Fins were losing every game. And I'm not going to stop updating it just because we're winning.

It's not like we took Vick over LT. Geez!

I say we should have traded down if possible but from all accounts nobody wanted to trade up. i'm fine with Ronnie especially since there were no other alternatives. I would have loved more picks but no one player really makes me regret our pick now if you ask me about this year's pick that is another story.

Exactly.

now if you ask me about this year's pick that is another story.

An offensive lineman would have had more of an immediate impact, but I think Jason Allen is going to be a big part of our defense for many years to come.

I was just updating the numbers since Gore was left out of the equation.
This whole question of reach is more of an opinion because if a guy produces
the reach talk will end. Some call Ronnie a reach but today's draft is more about what you do at the combine than what you actually do in games so in that context Ronnie was not a reach. There has probably never been a runningback selected that high that did less in college than Brown. Not a knock just a reality.

I still take Caddy. He is probably playing with the worst offensive line in all of football, and his team has no talent. The dolphins line is underrated and they are pretty talented across the offense, they just are big underachievers as usual.

Of course I'm going to disagree with you, but everyone is entitled to their own opinion. I think Ronnie is a better overall back than Williams. Ronnie can block and is more of a threat as a reciever, IMO. I think Williams has more explosivness when hitting the holes where as Ronnie is more patient and that sometimes results in nothing. I'm still glad we took Ronnie over the other two at this point, but there's still time for all three to make improvment.

 

[gr8slayer]

They all suck.

But I'd take Brown over the other two.

 

[WestCKoastiN]

Caddy looked good last year, This is just not his year.

Well, considering Brown has 95 more yards in 5 fewer carries and has maintained a much higher ypc throughtout his career..........I'd say you're full of sh_t.

As for Frank Gore, there is no doubt he's the best RB of this class so far......He's also been one of the top 3 runningbacks in the NFL this year. Nobody has ever doubted Gore's talent, just his ability to stay healthy.
