Ronnie out for the year?

Seems to be a lot of just speculation going on but......****!

 

Hmmm, I wonder what exactly defines a league source?

I can grasp the parameters of a "team source", a "PFT source", or even a "trusted source", suggesting the faint possibility, the writer actually knows the source, as it would be far from likely, to ever hear such a source in person.
It must suck to be a league source, always breaking the news, but never getting the credit. I suspect they're the same sorry saps who always get quoted as, "people say".

 

True or not... that is definately not good news...

 

Thanks for the post, but I'm not buying it. Maybe because I don't want to until I see official word, but probably moreso because I don't want to get into a bad mood until I know 100% its true.

 

I could win the lottery this week.

I could be a movie star.

I could be 7 feet tall.


or not.

nice job PFT.

 

Well, PFT is clearly stepping in for Mortemer, however I do think phinfans may have to accept the idea that Ronnie may not be back until late in the season, if at all.

We all are sort of saying "yeah, ankle maybe a foot sprain" the reality is it could be a high ankle sprain coupled with a lis franc.

 

Or, just as likely could be a swollen ankle they don't want to end up being a Lis Franc

 

Could be, that is the extreme optimist point of view compared to the extreme pessimist that he could have a grade III liz franc.

Either way though Az, our second wave players like Hillard and Sheets will have to step forward and produce.

 

that PFT article just looks like the kind of baseless threads that pop up around here. he's just saying "what if," basically.

 

Well, as much as it would suck to lose Ronnie for the remainder of the season, it would give us a chance to better evaluate the other guys.

In other words, and I'm just spit balling here...let's say the FO isn't sure whether or not they want to sign Ronnie long term. Well, now they can get a real good (and extended) look at Hilliard and Sheets. Not too mention Pat White running the Wildcat.

Question though...how does this affect the value of a contract, if one is extended to Ronnie in the off season? In other words, does this help to reduce the amount the FO might be able to sign him for? Or, does it just completely muddy the waters (i.e., his agent still demands top market value, and durability questions cloud the situation)?

I know I'm getting a little ahead of myself here. Maybe he's back in 2-4 weeks and goes on a real tear to close out the season. Which renders most of my post moot. But, still...it's got me thinkin'.

 

If this is the CASE

Then my fantasy teams will go down like a cheap WH***!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

 

I think we should all just wait to see what the FO and medical staff officially say. Its all just maybes right now. I am seeing the glass half full rather than half empty right now. I will dump all the water in the glass and fill it with something really strong if he is out for the rest of the season....

 

I am going to cry if he is out for the year

 

Ricky Williams can more than handle whatever comes down the road for Miami

 

Baseless speculation from PFT? Say it aint so!

 

Ronnie hurt again. Out for the season.

That would be a real shocker.

Everyone will call it another fluke injury and say he isn't prone to injury.
Football players are on the field or not. Call it what you want but a player who can't stay on the field is useless. Don't get me wrong Ronnie is a good back but we have seen him off the field way too much in his career.

Deja Vu.

 

No contract for the injury-prone tandem back?
better not be out for the season for his own good

Ricky doesn't need to run tandem & still has some good years ahead of him

 

LMAO
Here we go again with "injury prone.". Newsflash: his injuries are not "injury prone" injuries. If he was pulling muscles, or getting concussions, those would be "injury prone". Rolling and ankle, blowing an MCL off a pick, and breaking your finger are not in the category of a guy being injury prone. He might be unlucky, though.

When a RB goes, no one sees it coming. Look at Ladanian Tomlinson. One year he is a freak, and the next the wheels just fell off and he's been a mediocre back since. At Ricky's age, it has to come sooner or later. Besides, doesn't he want to retire soon?

 

fixed. Hes already said hes retiring next season.

 

the Beast is a SpecialEdition
Ricky has had a relatively free 3 years to recharge & mend
also, he's never suffered a major injury to his legs, ankles or feet,
nor has he ever suffered a concussion that kept him out of a game

I suggest you subtract the three years
of relatively inactive time playing football
which makes just 29, than understand
he is a once in a decade phenomenon @ RB
GoFish!

 

he also doesn't love football. He wouldn't be playing now if he could make a couple mill any other way. Ricky had a plan. Play 2 more years. Make enough money to retire on and get out of the NFL.

When he retired he said it was cause he met Earl Campbell, in a wheel chair, at texas. He said that changed his life and i assure Ricky still remembers that image fondly. He will retire at the end of next season.

 

Take anything PFT says with a fistfull of salt. Florio will post anything.

Ricky left the NFL because he was being used too much, at this stage in his career he has lost a step or two and I don't think he would take kindly to being thrust back into a starting role for a full season. He has also hinted at retirement after next season.

And Ronnie isn't injury prone, I was waiting for this discussion to pop up again. Silliness.

 

well Ricky was out for the 2004, 2006, and 2007 season, so i guess ronnies just tryin to keep up. Oh and ricky missed the final 6 games of the 2000 season as well.

all running backs get hurt. (or, ya know, quit)

 

The people that think that Ronnie Brown is injury prone have never heard of Brian Westbrook.

 

Adam Shefter just reported that Miami put Ronnie on IR...

 

Miami should now put Ronnie Brown on IR for life. He is damaged goods.

 

*cough* *cough*...

Sad but true Fellas and Brutha's, the NFL is a meat grinder.

 

Wow, this sucks so bad. I gave us a 20% chance of a shot at the playoffs this year, now I'd say we have a 5% chance. Ricky is great, but he cannot take a load. I have no faith in Lex Hilliard either. Our season just got a lot worse looking.

 

So, not entirely baseless I guess. This sucks. Really really sucks. I'll miss watching Ronnie run out there.

 

Anyone wanna buy a Ronnie Brown jersey?


(kidding.... hey, why so sombre in here?)

 

Shame about Ronnie.
Just hope this means we will get a good look at Henne.I'm a firm believer that the wildcat was hurting his abilities on the field.You just can't do that to a young QB.
Oh wait! Now Pat White will steal reps...Sorry,my bad.

 

.......

 

PFT was right ......

 

Now we get to see the real Dan Henning without the offensive attack that basically made him.

IMO, he's going to be exposed without Ronnie running the Wildcat.

 

Luv ya bro, however Henning has been running herd on Super Bowl offenses since 1982, 30 years before there ever was a Wildcat.

Henning will be fine, and keep an eye on the offensive skill positions to see who steps forward after Ronnie B's season ending injury...

 

That's a tough injury to recover from and has been known to end careers in other sports. Even though the article goes on to say that they don't think his injury is that serious, I'll reserve judgment until I see him out on the field plowing through the OL. That's tough.

 

Even a blind squirrel finds a nut every now and then

 

Well, back when Cameron took Ginn, he drafted him knowing he had a lis francs, and Teddy G recovered just fine, there were a host of Eagles who also had lf's who all recovered just fine.
