Why is everyone so high on Bryce Brown?

[Thurmal]

Only on an internet message board will you find MULTIPLE people who are excited about their teams' two all-pro RBs going down...

Because they are excited to see two journeymen RBs who have never played for any significant time, at any point of their careers, with any team they've been on...

Because they think that the two back-ups are going to do much better. Wait, they KNOW that the back-ups will do better.

Give me a break.

I don't think I've talked to or read a single Bills fan say that they were excite that Freddy and Cj Spiller were hurt. We really don't have a choice but to get behind Brown and Dixon.....

Eagles fans say he tries to bounce everything outside, goes down on first contact, bounces every run outside, has trouble finding cutbacks and bounces everything outside.

Most think if he could learn to be patient inside and find those holes he would be special.

Sounds familiar.

Are you and Fletch dating?

Woe is ye...the Bills are 4 and 3 and they have the best quarterback leading them since when?

Lighten up, Thurmal. There's a lot more to be optimistic about than concentrating on the negative.

I'm loving the Orton experience. I can't remember that last time I watched a Bills QB drop back on 3rd and long and was actually confident that they would pick it up.

I'm just stumped at the whole "Fred is old, CJ sucks" line of thinking that is becoming more prevalent. They've struggled b/c the run blocking is poor. It's not like Brown and Dixon are going to waltz into the game and put up 150.

Neither Boobie or Brown are great but they're good enough to keep the running game honest.

Fred is old and CJ does suck. That's not to say they aren't without value. CJ does have big plays in him from time to time and Jackson's toughness and understanding compensate for his age.

As far as Brown: like I said in another thread, I'm not excited but I am curious. This isn't the off-season where we have a full draft and full FA period to get a replacement. We are stuck with Brown for now, for better or worse. Let's just see what we have and expect the worst while hoping for the best. After all, it's the Buffalo way.

Tom Brady was backup to Drew Bledsoe. I rest my case.

Let's not go making **** up now. Which all-pro running backs are you talking about? CJ made the Pro Bowl one year...Freddie never did. Neither were ever all-pro. Just sayin'.

Of course it sucks that both these guys are out, though. The Spiller hatred is way over the top and unfounded IMO.

All I feel about Bryce Brown is that I'm glad the Bills picked him up.

Who's high on him ?

We need him and Dixon to play. That's it.

LOL. That was behind a different o-line. Let's see what he does with this one.

Secondary getting burned with regularity

Two top RBs hurt

o-line playing poorly

OC not good

Well.... The punter pick up has turned out to be pretty good.

Re: Why is everyone so high on Bryce Brown?

Although most expected FJ and CJ to get dinged at some point during the season, I'm pretty sure nobody expected them to both go down in the same kind. In the event of an injury, it is nice insurance to be able to go into a game with FJ/Boobie and Brown, as opposed to FJ/Boobie and Dude picked up off the street that still gets lost going to the stadium. At least he has carried the rock a little bit at this level. Unfortunately, both did get hurt, so suiting up Boobie/Brown should be better than suiting up Boobie/Lost Dude. How he performs given this opportunity will be interesting. I wouldn't expect much on the road, against a good defense, with a ****ty offensive line, but as someone already mentioned if they can do enough to keep the defense a little bit honest I'll take it.

That's a fair trade-off for stuffing the run, as long as they can keep opposing offenses to 16-20 pts per game IMO. Getting gashed on the run will almost guarantee a loss, when a team is forced to throw it at least it creates more opportunities for turnovers, loss of yardage, changing field position, etc. There will be the occasional half like the second against the Pats, but those should be few and far between.
