i would be happy if i got the 12th pick in the draft and drafted both of those guys back to back. One is going to have a crazy year and the other will have an above average year. I think Brown will have more rushing yards but Caddy will have good rushing yards and way more recieving. I would lean toward Brown just based on injury history

:goodposting: But I do not think you will have that opportunity to draft them back to back, but we can wish.

How do you see that? Last year Cadillac had 23 catches for 91 yards while Ronnie had 32 catches for 232 yards even though he split time with Ricky.
 
I saw both play in college. I think Caddy is the more talented of the two. He is a great runner.

Brown is a complete package and can do a little more, but Caddy has talent.

Now who is more durable or has a better career, etc. Its a toss up.

Fixed.
 
Just a hunch based on Grudens offense and he past history with RB's

Brown is a much better receiver.As a runner, though Williams is better.

Who will put up better total numbers this year or in the future??

:confused:

Caddy is a better runner. Brown is a better receiver. I expect Caddy to have the longer and more productive career because he has a better build for the position.

Brown is much thicker and sturdier than Caddy. Please explain what you mean.

Caddy is built low to the ground with short legs, whereas Brown has long legs and appears to run higher. In my opinion, Brown will be much more prone to serious knee injuries in the NFL.
 
I sort of agree about Caddy being built better.

Most people think RBs need to be built like tanks to hold up to the rigors of the NFL. I think they need to avoid hits. Caddy has that low center of gravity and wiggle that helps him avoid big hits. Ronnie is more straight line and upright.

IMHO

I don't know how it started, but at some point (probably combine time?) the misconception grew that Caddy is a great receiver and Brown the power back. Seems to be completely wrong, but I distinctly remember getting that impression - I just don't remember where it came from.It's just one example of where a person's initial impression stays with the person, despite all facts to the contrary.

That said, Caddy's got skills, but I like Ronnie Brown a little bit more.

 
You would have to think that it is Caddy considering he started over Ronnie when they were on the same team but watching them play in the NFL I was more impressed with Ronnie

There are many instances where a backup college RB outperforms the starter in the NFL. Domanick Davis was the backup to LaBrandon Toefield. To go back in history, Barry Sanders backed up Thurman Thomas.Happens with QBs, too. Examples include Brad Johnson and TOm Brady.

:goodposting: Yeah.....what he said!!!

 
Unfortunately it's really a toss up between the two going into this year. With both backs set to be RB1, we'll have a better of how to answer this question next year.

I'm going to give a slight edge to Caddy, since I think Gruden again is going to try to get as many carries as possible out of him.

Or Caddy was more one dimensional. What I mean is he couldn't block as good and wasn't big enough to lead for Ronnie and almost forgot to mention can't run a good route to safe his life.
 
I voted neither (null vote). Neither one of these guys impress me. The worst would be having to draft either of these guys because you are desperate for a running back.

I traded away Caddy in a dynasty league, with PPR scoring, to get A. Boldin. Consistency and more points than either of these guys.

I think Ronnie's the better of the 2 and set for a better career.

He's bigger. He can use power to bounce off of some guys, see Greg Wesly last year...nasty.

There's no doubt Caddy's quicker, and probably one of the best open field runners in one of the NFL.

Gruden's historical pass catching backs? Garner and Pittman? Both guys were really good at the receiving aspect, I don't think Caddy's all that great at it. Ronnie on the other hand showed good hands.

I think Caddy's smaller size may get him dinged up more often than Brown as well.

 
I did not read the question fully and voted for Cadillac.

Ronnie Brown is obviously the most talented player. He proved that in his pre-draft workouts, which is the reason he was drafted higher. However, Carnell Williams is definately the better foootball player, which is the reason he started over Brown at Auburn.

 
I'll take the Ronnie Train Express, goes 40 yards in 4.3 seconds and is a solid 230 lbs of muscle. Also has great hands.

 
It depends on what you think more talented is. Cadillac is the more skilled, better runner and what not, Brown is the better Athelet. Who you like depends on what you like in a player. Buy I vote for Caddillac as the more talented.

I'll take my talent based on production and football skill, not how he performs in his workouts.Going off those numbers is how we get "busts".

Cadillac by a mile.

Ronnie Brown.... 907 Rushing Yards/ 4.4 YPCCadillac Williams... 1178 Rushing Yards/ 4.1 YPC

Cadillac also caught 20 balls for 81 yards ( 4.1 YPC) while Ronnie caught 32 balls for 232 yards (7.3 YPC) .

I don't know how you can say Cadillac by a mile when Ronnie averages more yards every time he touches the football?

Ronnie also averaged more yards than LaDainian Tomlinson. Does that make him the better player? Frank Gore averaged more yards than either of those two. Is he the best RB in the NFL? Not all teams are created equal and not all touches are created equal. Cadillac had 20+ carries in more than half of his games last year and was the clear starter. Brown had the benefit of splitting time with Ricky Williams and probably had a higher percentage of his runs on third-down (i.e. passing situations when the defense is soft) than Cadillac did.

It's too early to use numbers when arguing for these guys. Next year should provide us a better picture now that both backs appear to be clearly entrenched as starters.

I can agree with your statement but to say Caddy by a mile is a stretch as well.
 
I had a dynasty draft about a month ago that I traded up in to get pick #11, I already had #10. I went Caddy & Ronnie :thumbup: Pretty surprised they both fell.

 
Wow, I tied up the poll 80 to 80. I didn't expect it to be this close. :-)

With my vote for Brown.

Why? Because he's a better blocker and receiver. Best all round back right? I think he's the better open field runner too. Although Caddy is better on the goal. Just my .02.

 
Ronnie Brown doesn't wear a watch, he decides what time it is.

THat's an awesome video...I had the choice between the two in my initial dynasty draft last year and I took Brown...I read in several mags that Caddy was a Caddy and Brown was the Bentley...Though Caddy had more immediate impact, Brown will be better in the long term..Especially now since they are saying he is bigger and leaner and ready to be # 1 RB...Once Culpepper comes back, he'll be in an even better situation...
