    Will Ronnie Brown ever finish a season!

    or is Mr.Brown a injury prone NFL running back

    Ronnie Brown has played 15,13,7 game each year
    missing a total of 13 games in 3 season

    We all know the story of Brown not being the feature back for
    Auburn ,yet still pick number 2 overall in the 2005 draft.

    But we all(most fans)assumes Ronnie Brown had less wear and tear
    on his body,which it would be a advantage in the NFL .

    Well this is not the case. Injury's are offend occur as a freak accident
    but some player are injury prone more than others.


    I hoping in the future the only label we are giving Brown is
    the best running back in franchises history and not a fragile sticker

    My count is 13 gms missed, but I hear you. It's alarming but hopefully he can play a full sixteen next year.

    LOL

    I love these threads. Ronnie tore his ACL this year...not an injury that better conditioning would change...last year he BROKE HIS HAND on someone's helmet...again, a freak accident. Neither one of those, IMO, makes him "injury prone." Now, if he was consistently have sprains, or pulled muscles, or back spasms, or stuff like that, sure, I'd say he was injury prone.

    I agree. This talk is not going to end though. People are going to look for any excuse they can for us to draft McFadden. I think Ronnie has a lot of very good years left in him. As long as we have a decent back-up to take a few carries off his back, I think he'll be fine.

    Hope is not a strategy, we have to do better then that if we want to win football games.

    Thing of it is, there are other Rb's in this draft that are not as expensive as McF, the Rb from Oregon for example, or the UCF Rb.

    We are one (1) lineman away from having a great offensive line, upgrade the Oline and it won't matter who we are giving the ball to, Ronnie the Fragile, LBook the rested, or even Gado, or "Hands of Stone" Chatman.

    Upgrade the line and John Beck improves as well.

    Darren McFadden is cake at the end of the meal, we need more meat before we can get to the cake.

    If I recall, and I could be wrong, but haven't his injuries occurred in aspects of the game OTHER than running the ball?

    The last, as we know, was him trying to make a tackle after an interception. Injury prone is a term for those who are either very frail or cannot keep themselves in football shape enough to avoid the injury report. Brown has just had some rotten luck.

    EDIT: You know, if we DO draft Darren McFadden, we'll never have to actually throw the ball. Ronnie and Darren...oooh.

    I just wonder if the reaction was the same when Caddy got hurt this season, a few weeks before Ronnie. I'd almost love to bet some of the same posters who have dismissed Ronnie's injuries as irrelevant and not a trend were pouncing on Caddy's season-ending injury as proof he was fragile and we made the correct choice in '05.

    I don't care about the injuries. My longstanding opinion is Ronnie is simply not a reliable star player, not someone who was worth the #2 pick. You've got to be in runaway denial to ignore he's had 3 different coaches in college and the NFL and not one of them has seen fit to feature him with 20+ touches per game on average. I call that a trend.

    And yet when Cameron decided to give Ronnie Brown a full workload, look what happened. There shouldn't be any doubt that Ronnie Brown was having a Pro Bowl season before he was injured. Oh, and not to mention that during his second season, he went over 1,000 yards despite having an OC that gets his plays from Madden.

    13 games isnt that alarming. He tore his ACL this year, which definitly shouldnt happen every year. He's fine.
