he has a role, and it's an important role. you'd have to bank on an injury.

Only if Dillon is injured.They both ran well, they both had a lot of carries, they will both continue to get opps in Belichek's offense (which, as we ALL KNOW subserviates the individual to the scheme, and spreads the ball around).Do you want a full time guy on a crappy offense or a part time guy playing exceptionally well on a good offense?

:whoosh:
I don't know the answer to "who will be better, Maroney or Brown".But I'm not sure that Maroney can be labeled "part time":Maroney 60 attempts, 294 yards, 3tdsR Brown 68 attempts, 239 yards, 2tdsAlso consider that MIA has already faced the defensive juggernauts in HOU and TEN.Also consider that Maroney leads the NFL with plays of 20+ yards.Also consider that the odds of Dillon staying healthy are very slim.

Maroney and I don't care about Dillon, PPR, or future schedules. Brown has two negatives. He is running behind a horrible OLine, (again) and they will be playing from behind all year.
Maroney is the real deal and even though he has split carries with Dillon thus far, it doesn't matter. I have him on my roster and he has scored points every week.
A lot of people think that Dillon will get fewer carries as the season goes on. I think he will begin to get fewer going toward the middle of the season and then more toward the end of the season. Few carries now will keep him healthty for the playoff run when BB wants to have that playoff experience on his roster not nursing a nagging injury on the sideline.

RBrown = 87 TOUCHESMaroney = 66 TOUCHESRonnie does a LOT of his yardage damage by catching the ball.maroney is splitting time with Dillon. Ronnie is splitting time with Mularkey's play calling.Big difference - there will definitely be games where Dillon gets 20 carries and Maroney touches the ball under 15 times. Maroney is a great part time player. RBrown is a full time player on a bad ofense. Just as I initially stated.

Let me know when this happens.At this point and time Maroney > Dillon, why would the lesser player get more carries. I think it will be around 50/50 the next few weeks sliding more towards 70/30 (Maroney) the second half of the season.

I disagree here. If anything, I think Maroney's workload will increase as the year goes on. Maroney is the better player at this point and Dillon has already shown signs of breaking down (5 carries last week). Maroney has averaged 16-17 touches in the first four games and is currently a top 10 back in my league with these limited touches. I would not trade him for Ronnie Brown right now.

???Dillon had more carries than Maroney this past game.
Only in game 2 did Maroney carry the ball more than Dillon.
I am not disagreeing that Maroney will get a workload each week - sometimes more, sometimes less - but I am also sure there will be a game in the next few weeks where Dillon gets the vast bulk of the carries.

I said this before the season, I said it when I picked him in the draft, and I'll say it again:
Maroney 2006 = Portis 2002
Maroney IS the feature back in NE. Had the game been closer, Maroney might have gotten 150 and three TDs yesterday. My take on the handling of both Maroney and Portis was to ease them into the role so that they aren't hitting the proverbial "rookie wall" come Week 14. My guess is that the carries will be broken out Maroney 21 per game / Dillon 11 per game from here on out.
Ronnie Brown is solid, but Maroney is the next, well, Clinton Portis.

I own Maroney in my Dynasty league, and I am thrilled to have him
That said, let's not get ridiculous and claim that Maroney>Brown. Maroney plays on a much better team than Brown. Yes, Maroney has looked explosive. But Brady is a FAR better QB than Daunte Culpepper, and the NE offensive line is certainly better than the Miami line.

Everyone talks about "When Dillon is gets injured...and we know that's gonna happen."
I just don't see that. I think Maroney is the reason Dillon will be healthy all year. Dillon isn't carring the ball 30 times a game. Reduced work load = less wear on this body. I think Dillon will be available for the majority of the rest of the season.
And regardless if Dillon is there or not...I think Maroney will be a solid and better option than Ronnie.

I see your point, but Priest & LJ didn't exactly have a 50/50 split with regards to carries.aaaaahhh, those were the days.

This is a tough call.
Inside I'm laughing because I got both in my auction league:
Brown - $23
Maroney -$2
Now I don't know what to do with regards to who starts each week.
It would be easier to be more optimistic about RB if he had actually performed well during the easiest two weeks of his schedule.

agreed but not this week... maroney over brown.. ne home against mia... i know start your studs but this is an exception no?if culpepper could pull it together brown would be able to show more stuff.. if the oline was more productive then they both could be doing better..

I think sharing the load actually helps Maroney. He is a rookie who is not used to a 16 game schedule. Typically rookies tend to wear out (or at least hit a wall at some point) during their first season. I think splitting the load will keep him fresh, and allow him to produce good numbers.
