At first I thought I might like the duo of running backs. Now i'm not sure. It seems neither can get into the flow of the game. Ricky seems like he can play again and Brown in my eyes is going to be VERY special. Then again it is nice knowing that if one guy goes down(like KC) BAM! have some more of this back. I'm just not sure. How you do guys feel about this at this point of the season?

id like to trade ricky and move up the first round of the draft and take a QB

i think we need to get rid of Ricky still, if Ronnie goes down yes it will hurt but Sammy Morris is capable of stepping in, I dont like Ricky and don't want him on the team, plus we could use the draft pick
I'm quite happy with our RB situation. I have more concerns with other areas of the team
in all seriousness. How high of a pick would you give the phins for Ricky? I myself wouldn't take anything less than a 2nd rounder, maybe even followed up with a later round pick with a number two. From what i've seen in games he is still running down hill.
problem is... we are not going to get much value for Ricky. Teams could have had Edge or Alexander last year for a second round pick, so who is going to give up much for Ricky? His best value to the team is ON the team.

I know its petty and stupid to still hold a grudge but i totally agree with the above post. That and Ronnie has completely surpassed any of my expectations of a rookie back, and I would like to see him on the field alot more.

our first round pick and ricky for another teams lower first round pick
Another team will probally accept that trade
Another team will probally accept that trade
the part brought up about the "Edge" and "Alexander" your right, but what about the two teams who lose those backs? Won't they have a HUGE whole to fix? What about KC. From what i've read Holmes injury is still up in the air and from the last two years the relationship between Larry Johnnson and Coach Vermiel dosen't seem to be all that good, but that's from the outside looking in.

no body wanted Edge or Alexander b/c it was going to cost them Millions in salary. Woudl u rather a Great Runner and spend a bunch of money or a good runner dirt cheap?

A trade to GB or Houston could work but we woudl proably have to throw in a 3rd and a coniditional 3rd.
GB and Houston need RBs, whcih ever team loses out on Reggie Bush might try that

I hope if we made a trade like that we dont take leinart
I mean
I want young obviously you can tell BUT
If we are headed for a pocket passes I hope we take a guy like quinn
in all. At the end of the season(maybe a playoff one, as long as we catch SD in a look ahead) I just hope we don't give Ricky away for some lame low round pick, because my thinking is he is worth MORE to us than any 3rd round pick and down.
