ronnie brown is this years mcgahee-overhyped

 

I've been thinking the same thing and I hope it doesn't turn out to be true

because I did draft Ronnie last Sun with the #7 pick. I really am not entirely

confident of Miami but I pulled the trigger and hope I guessed right that he'll

outperform the guys I left on the board.

 

Last year I wouldn't touch McGahee where people were touting him (4th-8th).

It does seem disturbingly similar to me too but I think the hype is more justified

this year but I would agree it's maybe a bit overboard. If he makes 1300/300/8

I'll be happy enough with the pick.

 

 

This years Jets will be last years Texans

SJax is this years McGahee (if hype only had points)

 

This is a horrible comparison. First of all, McGahee has no passing game to keep defenses honest. SJax has the league's most consistently dominant WR, plus great depth with Bruce and Curtis. Marc Bulger is leagues ahead of Losman or Holcomb as well. Then you must consider strength of schedule. The Bills faced some very tough rush defenses in Tampa Bay, New England (twice), Kansas City, San Diego, Denver, and Carolina. SJax gets to play a total of four games against the abyssmal 49er and Cardinal defenses, plus Houston, Detroit, Green Bay, and Oakland. The only tough games for St. Louis are against the Seahawks, Panthers, and Bears. I doubt SJax will be seeing my bench much this year.

Both were 1st year starters that had some very nice games on teams that

looked like they were on the rise. Buffalo closed out very strong two years

ago, all with defense really. But the following year their D fell apart with some

injuries (T Spikes mainly) and their offense was inconsistent behind Losman.

Miami last year closed with a six game winning streak but if you look at the

games the only win worth mentioning was against San Diego, the other teams

were terrible (except final week Indy who rested all their starters).

 

You mentioned the coaching and I agree that Saban is a much better HC than

Mularkey. Mularkey very much reminds me of Pete Carroll when he tried to

coach New England. Trouble is that Mularkey is now in Miami but as a coordinator

I'm comfortable with him there.

 

Defensively you have a similar squad to 05 albeit they're all a year older and on

average not young to begin with.

 

Add to this the Culpepper factor. I really like Pep and think he's a fantastic QB.

Miami hasn't had a QB as good since Marino and even then Dan's last 3-4 years

were lackluster. The offense should get a nice boost from the QB position.

 

Miami at least by the percentages is supposed to play an easier schedule this year.

How that's possible looking at last year's schedule is a bit of a mystery, but it is what

it is. It's an extremely weak schedule.

 

Obviously, Bongmastah Flash Ricky is gone for at least this coming year so Brown

should get many more opportunities to touch the ball this year. If you add Brown &

Williams numbers together from last season you get 1650rsh/325recy/11TDs. But

that's with two fresh players for most of the games. Someone is going to spell Ronnie

and take away some of his carries. If Brown does get 75% of those combined numbers

he'd have 1230/244/8 he'd be around 8th in most PPR systems.

 

So what it comes down to I guess, is that there are lots of ifs and mights and general

speculation involved with how Brown will perform this year. He's certainly a very good

player but that doesn't guarantee fantasy numbers. I personally selected him 7th in

the last draft I did passing up Cadillac (mostly because of injury risk) and SJax (for a

variety of concerns). I very well maybe have been wrong. I guess we'll see.

 

To me, he's a gamble at 7 and a real gamble anywhere higher than that. It's very risky to

spend your #1 pick on any unproven player. It's why i wouldn't touch Willis last year in

the first round. This year, at least in one draft I'm taking a chance on Brown. I do think

he's in a great position to have a solid year else I wouldn't have done it. But there are

shades of 05 McGahee to the pick that scare me a little.

This year's T.O. is going to be last year's T.O.

Just curious what o-line SJax is running behind this year? Better than last year?

 

An above average pass offense/personnel helps, but can Linehan bring discipline to flag happy line? Is everyone on the o-line healthy? I'm suffering in the #5 spot this year, sooo I'm looking at SJax round one.

 

Preseason projections and all have the Rams with a less than stellar o-line and above "average" SOS rush opponents. That's all formed opinion/theory based on last year's results though. Half the games you mentioned against the niners and cardinals are on the road. Yes? Perhaps the cardinals can light it up on their home turf? Looking at offseason moves / injury recovery, they in theory are better defensively. The niners play better at home? no?

 

Just phishing for informed opinions on the guys that will get Sjax from four yards deep to five or more down the field, over and over and over.

 

FWIW...an accurate assessment of McGahee. I owned him last year, and he had to grind for every inch.
