I don't know either of these guys. I heard(read) a couple of guys here mention that Ronnie Brown is better than Reggie Bush....... But Ronnie Brown couldn't get the #1 overall over AlexSmith who went to SanFran, because nobody else wanted the spot...... SanFran had to take the BPA @ #1, and it was AlexSmith. I understand they took a RunningBack in the 3rd round of the 2005 draft, but c'mon........ Ronnie Brown is better than Reggi Bush, the best player/running back to come out in decades.
Of course, that has me wondering.... if Reggie Bush would be behind Ronnie Brown in the draft, why would we want to take him with the #1 overall?? Is it just the hype??
So it's changed from Reggie being the best RB in Decades to the Best player in decades....... & it's obvious, I'm not looking at this correctly. I'm thinking you guys want to draft a running back, who can catch out of the backfield. When it looks like you guys want to draft a slot reciever that will occasionally line up in the backfield.
But let's look at what Ronnie Brown has done his rookie year.
Ronnie Brown.. 15games
RushingYards: 907 on 207 carries(13.8/game) 4 for touchdowns, 5 longer than 20 yards, and 41 first downs......
Recieving yards: 232 on 32 catches(2.1/game)....... 7.3avg..... 1 TD, 12 Firstdowns....
That's 1139 total yards.... on 15.9 touches/game.(4.7 yards/touch)
Is this the kind of performance we expect from Reggie his Rookie year?? or better??
If Ronnie Brown is better than Reggie, I can't imagine Reggie Performing better on a younger team...
But if he's the best player to come out in Decades, I'd expect him to perform better than LT his rookie year.
Ladainian Tomlinson 16games, started
Rushing Yards: 1236 on 339 carries(21/game).. 10 TDs, 7 runs over 20, 67 First downs....
Recieving yards: 367 on 59(3/game) catches, 6.2 avg........ 0 TDs....... 12 FDs
That's 1603 total yards from scrimmage. on 24 touches/game.(4.2yards/touch)
I mean Reggies the best player in decades, surely he can best 1603 total yards right??
DD 14 games......... 10 started
Rushing Yards: 1031 on 238 carries(17/game).... 8 TDs...5 runs over 20, 47 first downs....
Recieving Yards: 351 on 47 catches(3.35/game).... 7.5avg..... 0 TDs..... 15 first downs.
That's 1382 total yards from scrimmage, on 20 touches/game.(4.9 yards/touch)
Of course, these are just stats.... they don't tell the whole story, unless they are in Reggies Favor, or detrimental to DD.
Of course we've had the best run blocking team in the NFL, bar none for three years running.
Of course, SanFran & Miami were worse teams than we were in that same period...
But according to these stats, DD although he was a lowly 4th round Draft pick(Terrell Davis), is comparable to both these guys.
If you had Ronnie Brown on your team, would you still use your #1 to draft Reggie Bush?? If you had LT?? would you??
IF you had a guy who had a better rookie year than one of those two, and came up 221yards shy of the best Running back to come out of college in the last decade(110.5 yards per game, 14 vs 16) when LT started all 16 games, would you still draft Reggie Bush??
Personally, I think it would be foolish if you had any of the three aforementioned players.
But like I said, I'm missing something, looking at this all wrong....... if you could point me in the right direction, I'd much appreciate it.
