Who Does Ronnie Compare Too?

It's too early to tell.
He could be our next Emmitt Smith or he could be our next Travis Minor Junior. We'll just have to wait...

though im gunning for the first option :lol:

Right now he compares to a guy who could never beat out Carnell Williams in college for the starting job and will most likely report to camp late.


Comparing him to the likes of L.Tomlinson is not just. There not even close, Tomlinson domanated college football on a very below avg team and is now the best RB in the NFL by far, its not even close.


I would compare his running style to that of Natron Means or Antwain Smith

Not unexpected from a Bills fan:shakeno:. Maybe you don't follow football that much, but year after year college players are compared to NFL players based on their style. Ronnie Brown has been compared to LT, Mcalister, Jackson, and other talented backs by experts. That is how it works. He should not be compared to Williams because he is a totally different back. According to you Willis McGahee should only be compared to Frank Gore because he couldn't beat him out in college. It took an injury for him to get time. People who get payed good money to scout players seem to think Brown is a better NFL prospect than Williams. I know you don't get payed to scout or you wouldn't be trolling around on our board. And you also wouldnt make rediculous claims like he compares most favorably to Antwain Smith and Means. Because of his versatility and straight line running style he compares favorably to LT. Yes, LT had a nice career against mid level competition. If Brown played at TCU he would probably have put up similar numbers. But instead he put up very good numbers while splitting time with another back in the toughest conference in college football. So you can go on believing that Brown is not going to be anything special, but after he runs all over your Jills I think reality will set in.
 
jills fans have been sufficiently owned tonite my friend, on there home front i might add
 
I think Fred Taylor is a great comparison. In his prime (when healthy), Fred was a sure-fire top 5 RB talent, capable of taking it to the house on any given play. He was also big enough to break tackles and run inside effectively. While hes not shifty like Barry or Faulk, hes able to 1) juke a defender, 2) outrun him or 3) plow over him.

Nice comparison.

Your comments demonstrate that you know very little of Auburn. Both players were good and had a different set of skills. Their coach at Auburn tried to utilize BOTH of them. There was no clear starter. I would also remind you that Steve Spurrier underused Fred Taylor also. He became a 1st rd pick based on his combine performance.
Ronnie Brown isn't anything close to Antowain Smith (wishful thinking on your part). Antowain Smith lacks RB's fluidity and pass catching skills.
Natron Means runs a 4.4 40 only in his dreams.
 
I called sirious radio right after the draft and got to ask Dan Reeves the same question and he answered Priest Holmes. The other guy on the show said LT.,

you think Philip Rivers is actually gonna start for the Chargers?
 
He does'nt have L.T.'s natural vision or moves. Tomlinson is the best runner in football...and actually quite different then Ronnie.

I think Brown compares to Duece McCallister accept McCallister runs more upright.

On another note....is it just me or are certain Bill fans getting a little snarly lately. I like input from fans of other teams as much as anyone but Bill fans seem to be the biggest damn homers out there (accept Clumpy).

They all act like their team is God's gift to football....got news for YOU Bill homers....your team missed the playoffs last year...and the year before that. In fact, your team has'nt made the playoffs in 5 years. Your team has also not won a playoff game in a decade.

Bill's fans talk more crap then every Patriot fan on this board...try earning it before you talk it.
