slash 0 Posted September 21, 2006 I think rudi is better but ronnie has better matchups for the rest of the year... or should that not be a reason on who you would rather have? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest Swobo Posted September 21, 2006 RUDIIII No doubt in my mind, this is going to be Rudi' best year. Matchups shouldnt really be a reason when you are talking about a RB who is on a good team. Cinci should be in the lead late in games and running it alot. On the other hand, Miami will be losing late in games and forced to pass alot. once again, RUDIIIIIIIIIIIII Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
lagarzlebrew 0 Posted September 21, 2006 I think rudi is better but ronnie has better matchups for the rest of the year... or should that not be a reason on who you would rather have? I personally think that Ronnie is a better player, but Rudi is on a better team. I took Ronnie #6 overall, and Rudi went #5. If I had my choice right now in my PPR league, I would probably stick with Ronnie as he catches lots of balls, but it is pretty close, IMO. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
jgcrawfish 232 Posted September 21, 2006 Matchups do matter, and Rudi has a nightmare schedule. I think Rudi has a chance to put up better #'s and has a better line, but if Saban pulls his head out of his arse for a bit, he'll start getting Ronnie the ball more cause he's too talented to let disappear like they have. As a Ronnie owner, I do give a slight, very slight edge to Rudi unless Miami shows more dedication to the run in the next couple of weeks...if so, change my vote to Brown.

Pound 0 Posted September 21, 2006 If not for Culpepper, Ronnie and his soft schedule would be a no brainer. But unfortunately the small-handed one remains backed by Saban and I fear I'll wish I had picked Rudi one more week. If they can't get it done against TEN then I'll definitely wish I had taken Rudi.

Let Da Big Dog Eat 37 Posted September 21, 2006 Have them both and lovin it so far! But, back to the ? I worry less about sched than I do about the team as a whole. If a RB plays on a good team, he will likely get lot's of touches in garbage time. If a WR plays for an average or worse team, he will likely get lots of catches in garbage time. So, I draft with that in mind. I took both, thinking that both will get lots of touches late from being ahead. It appears that I was right with both but for different reasons. Rudi because he will be ahead and get runs, Ronnie because he will be behind and get dumpoffs. All in all, Rudi looks to be the choice now. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Raider 84 29 Posted September 21, 2006 Since the Bungals score 30 a game and the Dolphins 10, I'd go with Rudi! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
cyeaser 3 Posted September 21, 2006 since i drafted RUDI before ronnie brown was drafted i think ill stay with RUDI.. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
The Next Generation 10 Posted September 21, 2006 With the struggles of Culpepper and the Miami O-line in flux (3 guards lost for the season), I think this is easily Rudi (and I have Ronnie, so....). Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Belushi 9 Posted September 21, 2006 Since the Bungals score 30 a game and the Dolphins 10, I'd go with Rudi! Miami's faced Pitt and Buffalo, two very good D's. Cincy's faces KC and the Browns. I'm willing to wait a few more weeks before I decide who's the better back for the rest of the year. Cincy has some tough games coming up, while Miami has a cake-walk.

edjr 5,567 Posted September 21, 2006 Does anyone really think CPepp is going to struggle all year? Remember what Miami did the last 6 games last year? Saban will turn it around. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
taa455 0 Posted September 21, 2006 I have both (Rudi in one league and Ronnie in another league). If I had to pick I would say Ronnie, but it is an extremely close call. The slight edge goes to Ronnie based on the schedule, especially week 14-16 fantasy playoffs! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Reality 2,710 Posted September 21, 2006 This isn't even up for debate, Rudi in a landslide.. Better player on better offense.. We don't know anything about the schedule right now, teams everybody thought were going to be good aren't.. Brown is a decent back, but some of you have unreachable expectations for the guy.. There is probably a reason the guy has always split time.. I wish I were wrong, I have him.. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
rambler 0 Posted September 21, 2006 Both will be fine. It's a toss up. Everybody overreacts too early in the season. Brown has done fine with a pretty low workload thus far. Patience people. Patience. Be happy with either. And how someone got both in one league is beyond me... 6 team league??? -R Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
slash 0 Posted September 21, 2006 Wow, this seems to be split down the middle.. I have ronnie and have been offered rudi for him straight up.. but with the next two weeks matchups i have a hard time pulling off the move... Also not to mention the overall sched. and the playoff schedule for Miami. my main concerns with ronnie is not ronnie, but the miami line and c-pepp. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I think he's gonna put up some big weeks (this week being one of them), but that is a tempting offer. If you can swing something else in the deal -- maybe an upgrade at WR too -- I might do it. Good luck. -R Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
hammerfrank 0 Posted September 21, 2006 This is like asking would you rather have sex with Carmen Electra (Rudi) or Bee Arthur (Ronnie), there is no comparison. Ruydi rocks and is on a good team, Ronnie is the opposite. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

rambler 0 Posted September 21, 2006 The Carmen Electra - Bee Arthur comparison is just retarded... week 1: even week 2: edge Rudi week 3: we'll see For Chrissakes, we are heading INTO WEEK 3 PEOPLE! They are both good. If one has the edge, it's not by much... -R Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
