Broncos signed RB Dayne (1 Viewer)

Ron Dayne has finally landed in a situation that will suit his NFL game the best. He WILL get his chance to shine this year. It's almost a given that Tatum Bell will get hurt opening the door for Dayne to finally show what he's worth. If you pass on Dayne, you'll be passing on the sleeper of 2005. I predict he puts up 1500 and 12 as a conservative estimate. I'll be taking him in round 5 or 6 and laughing all the way to the championship.Heh, just seeing how the other side lives. Dayne still sucks.However, I'd like to see Dayne take over the starting job for a period of 5-6 games just so we can put this "Denver system makes the RBs good" argument to bed permanently.

You heard it here first.  DAYNE WILL TOP 1000 yards this year.    :fro:
Only in a rental car.
Yep, that tub of lard couldn't run 1000 yds in the back of a pickup truck :lol:
Just pick him up already. :rolleyes:
No, I'll let you go ahead and do that. :rotflmao:
I'll give you 1 better some guy in my league just picked up Fleming. :rolleyes:
Makes a hell of a lot more sense than Dayne.
Dayne just picked up. :rotflmao:

That we agree on.
 
Dayne may actually be worth holding onto with Bell's injory history.
Please visit my kool-aid stand tomorrow, you've obviously had your fill today.
Thanks for the insight. Seriously, why not if you have 53 guys? Bell has never played a full season. Even if he is a stud perhaps Dayne is worth a spot start or two if he gets dinged which all RB's do. Not too mention the Broncos are notorious for pumping out system RB's. I'm not proclaiming Dayne a stud or that he'll even challenge Bell but I do not see anything you can say to damage my statement other than "Dayne is a fat peice of garbage". Which I will respond to with the statement "My Grandmother could run for 1000 yds. behind Denver's line."
 
With Q-Griffin and R-Dayne on the roster behind T-Bell, we know one thing for sure that is Bell will be the goal-line carrier.
Close Mr. Anderson.

Why oh why do I put myself through such torture every year with DEN?RON DAYNE?!?! :X :rotflmao: :unsure:

 
This will either prove or disprove the notion that Denver can put anyone in at RB and have them succeed.

 
Reading the comments in this thread makes me think of all the people hating on Larry Johnson most of last year. Remember, through about November or so, L.J. was proclaimed to be a worthless, diaper-wairing baby by most of the "sharks" in the pool. One of the biggest busts of recent memory who couldn't even perform in one of the most prolific offenses in the NFL. I'm sure "tub of goo" was probably even thrown around. So what happened? He got an opportunity, put up HUGE numbers for a few weeks, and is now considered a top dynasty prospect by many.I don't think Dayne is a threat to take the starting job by any means. But to just write him off as worthless, especially considering that he DID show some talent in the pre-season last year and would now be in RB-heaven in Denver, is just rediculous. If Bell does go down, I could see Dayne putting up great numbers in that system. Just like LJ did over in KC.

Dayne is just one of those guys that peole love to hate. Probably because he burned them earlier in his career in fantasy leagues. FF isn't about holding grudges though. People would be best to just take his situation for face value rather than looking at the past.

There is one HUGE difference. Larry Johnson never had a chance to start, and was written off way too early because, gee, he couldn't beat out Priest Holmes.

Dayne was brought in to start, in a system that produced a top RB, but he got beat out by Tiki, a good RB no doubt, but he's not Priest. Dayne even had a couple solid years with the Giants in his first 2 seasons, but due to whatever reason, he fell off big time.

Not to say Dayne can't perform in Denver, but the comparison to Larry Johnson is way off base.

If you want a comparison to LJ, the closest guys are Chris Perry and Lamont Jordan.

Boy such intelligent conversation regarding Dayne or any player on this board. No wonder most FFA guys don't come over here anymore and dis on this part of the board. Good job trying to make someone an ### because there stated their opinion maybe you should look in the mirror.

This thread doesn't make me think of LJ at all. I was one of the people saying it wasn't clear that McGahee was better than LJ, and have been pimping him since....where did he go to school again? ;)
 
This will either prove or disprove the notion that Denver can put anyone in at RB and have them succeed.
:thumbup: First thing I thought when I heard this, too.

This will be Dayne's first year away from the Giants O line though, so maybe it's a good gamble, but I have a feeling Denver still drafts a RB.

me, three. in fact i just typed out a simiar post and deleted it when i saw this one!
 
If you think the trading away Droughns was a sign that Bell is the clear starter, think again. I am not equating Dayne to Droughns or Bell, but I'm curious how he will do in Shanahan's system. I've never been high on this guys, but even his fat ### should be able to get through the zone blockings.

Here's the Link
:rotflmao: :rotflmao: :rotflmao: OMFG ... this is Fantasy Football GOLD!!! This is going to make the offseason pre-draft something special :thumbup:

 
Dayne will do very well in that offense. Bell's problem is staying healthy and they are probabally thinking Dayne will be a good sub for those games that Bell is on the pine.

 
I'm really surprised at the "shark" pool. I can understand the dislike of Dayne since he's been overrated since he was drafted, but I'm amazed by the lack of intelligent analysis here. If Droughns (he of the career 2.4 YPC career average) can run for 1200 yards then there's no reason to assume Dayne couldn't do the same if Bell gets injured. Dayne has a career 3.5 YPC average, which is not good but much better than what Droughns had done before he came to Denver. If you are not drafting Dayne to backup Bell you are making a big mistake.

LOLYou can't look at Droughns numbers before he came to Denver (30 att in 2 years) because he was injured and got very little opportunity. He also only had 10 attempts in 2 years with Denver before last year. Yes, I'll pass on Dayne, and I am a Bell owner in 2 leagues.

Not only that, but why are we even assuming that Dayne is the handcuff?First off, there's still the rookie draft, and either a rookie, Griffin or Anderson could easily be the guy you want to handcuff, not Dayne.

As mentioned, I think there is a fair chance Dayne won't be on the roster when training camp breaks.

true enough. but i think it is a little hasty just writing the guy off. who knows cecil sapp could be the next breakout runner.
 
Mike Anderson is a FA who will not be resigned and Q is coming off of an ACL injury which the last time I checked takes 2 years to recover from. Dayne is far from great but so is Bell. Have fun with the Denver situation and Chris Brown 2.

I don't entirely disagree, but for those of us living in the NYC area, we've seen enough of this guy to have a pretty good feeling that he doesn't have what it takes.And it's not like just one coach had it in for him, as he was stuck to the bench under both Fassel and Coughlin.

Once again I would like to start off stating I do not think Dayne is great or will be great in the Denver system. I would like to say this though Accorsi has always built a line out of nobody's. Tiki was able to slip and slide and fits that kind of thinking Dayne does not. Denver opens up holes that would allow many backs to succeed. It is not fair to write off any Denver back at this point.

I agree. Last season Denver brought in 8 or so RBs to compete in training camp. I don't know Dayne's contract details but it is only a 1 year deal according to reports. If Dayne doesn't impress and doesn't have a big signing bonus, I expect he could make an early exit from Denver.
 
If every other Denver running back somehow got injured before the draft, Dayne would be going in the second round of most drafts. Even he would be a 1,200+ yard, 10+ TD back as a full season featured back in Denver's system.My reservation about Dayne has nothing to do with his ability. The problem is that Denver has a stable of running backs, none of which is the clear cut starter. I'm only sure of one thing in that offense; one running back will compile 1,000 yards in 2005. Problem is, it could be (in no particular order) Bell, Griffin, Anderson, Dayne, some relatively unknown already on their roster (it's happened 3 times in recent history), a free agent yet to be signed by Denver, or a running back they pick up in the draft (yes, Shanahan will draft a running back).I just can't see spending an early round pick on ANY of Denver's running backs. Even with Bell, the most likely start in Denver (IMO), there is a huge risk in drafting him.
