Ron Dayne, Starting RB Denver Broncos (1 Viewer)

[fatness]

"Bea Arthur has come in and really helped herself," Shanahan said. "She has helped herself in the offseason conditioning program by really getting into great shape. She's got some natural running skills. It will be interesting to see how she does in game situations."

Hold on to your hats.That line is capable of opening gaping holes.It's an open race.Are you saying there is zero chance Bea Arthur finishes the year as the Bronco's leading rusher?

Exactly. Everyone knows that it takes two seasons to come back from double hip replacement surgery. Maybe next year but this year I look for nothing out of her.

 

[mbuehner]

The Denver Running game is the unstopable object and Ron Dayne is the immoveable force. This paradox could mean the end of the universe.

 

[amnesiac]

Droughns had just a total of 39 carries in three years before he came to Denver; you can't compare his career to Dayne's at all. 

You're right. Droughns sucked so badly that no HC in their right mind would have been willing to let him carry the ball...until Shanahan had no other option.There is no comparison. Droughn's career was much, much worse than Dayne's BD (before DEN).

{Hijack} If so many people seem to realize that Droughns is worse than Dayne, why is there any question that Suggs will beat him for the Clev. RB job?{Hijackination}

 

[B-Deep]

For those of you outside of Denver reading this here is a bit of information

The writer Jim Armstrong is orginally from Wisconsin, he went to the University of Wisconsin and perhaps he has a bit of badger red colored glasses on here.

So before you start to take a hit off the Ron Dayne crack pipe - be warned!

NOW it makes sense.Q. How many badger fans does it take to change a light bulb?

A. 10...1 to change the bulb, and 9 to tell you how great Ron Dayne was.

 

[toofunny]

The point is, unless you plan to draft all 5 denver RBs, it's a waste of picks and time. When the coach even makes a COMMENT about the 5th RB on the depth chart, you have problems. The fact they HAVE 5 RBs, is a problem. All this thread means is stay away, far far far away. :X

This thread could easily be sumed up with the two words that make up this guys SN.

 

[Unlucky]

Dayne has proven that he sucks. I won't touch him, and I wouldn't worry about him beating out the other RBs. Now, if they all got hurt, that's a different story.

 

[General Malaise]

Careful GM.  I sense an "open your mouth and close your eyes and get ready for a big surprise" moment in your future if you do not answer carefully.

SHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!

where's my beat down?put me in the disappointed camp today. i saw pony in italics for an hour, then nothing.

booooo....bring back the 2002 edition

 

[pizzatyme]

Maybe this isn't the place, but I want to point out that prior to L Johnson getting an opportunity last season, the same things were being said about him! Now look at LJ, everyone holding onto him in dynasty leagues just salivating for Priest to go down or go home for good!No one, NO ONE knows what Dayne is capable of as a featured back behind this line. I'd at least give him a fair shot. And even if he gets cut, this doesn't say anything as there is MAJOR talent in that Denver backfield.Hell, I would be a major talent in that offense and I am 38 and rotund! lol

 

[CalBear]

Maybe this isn't the place, but I want to point out that prior to L Johnson getting an opportunity last season, the same things were being said about him!

Larry Johnson had a grand total of 20 carries (and a 4.2 ypc average) going into last year. That does not resemble Dayne's situation at all; Dayne has 585 career carries. We know exactly what he can do; he's gotten numerous opportunities, and done the same thing with them every time.

 

[Zilly QB]

Only problem is, Dayne hasn't won any king of "race" since 1999 when he won the Heisman race.
I think he won a hot dog eating race.

He nipped Mo in the 40 yard sashay.

Exactly how many carries were behind the Denver offensive line with the confidence of his Head Coach? I'm not saying he WILL be the starter, all I am saying is that if given the opportunity on THAT team with THAT line, he would do very well I presume.

How has his conditioning been every other year versus this year?Was Kurt Warner worthy of a starting QB job prior to Green going down and Warner having a brilliant year?

 

[CalBear]

How has his conditioning been every other year versus this year?

Was Kurt Warner worthy of a starting QB job prior to Green going down and Warner having a brilliant year?

They were honking on last off-season about how great his conditioning was, remember? Then he ran up some yards on patsy defenses in the pre-season, and Tiki dropped into the third round. Then Dayne wound up with the same 3.4 ypc average he's had his whole career.Kurt Warner, like Larry Johnson and Ruben Droughns, is not analagous at all to Dayne. Warner had thrown a total of 11 passes in the NFL prior to taking over for Green. Johnson had 20 carries, Drounghs had 39. These were guys who had never gotten a chance. They got their chance and they capitalized on it. Find me a running back who had over 500 career carries with a 3.5 ypc average, who never broke 800 combined yards in a season, who went on to become a fantasy force.

Dayne is not unproven. He's proven to be a chump.

 

[Cecil Lammey]

Here's a snip from my Day 6 report:Mike Anderson had another good day today. Bell and Anderson shared time with the first team. Quentin Griffin ran with the 2nd team, and Ron Dayne ran with the 3rd team.

That preseason game vs the 3rd string KC defense Guys I have seen enough of Dayne (live at games & camp) including every game he has played as a pro. Taking Dayne at any point in the draft will be a waste. Trust me

 

[RudeDog]

I'm chiming in a little late here but as I see it Denver is probably the best situation that Dayne could have asked for. The reason he won the Heisman and ran for sooo many yards at Wisconsin was because of that massive and talented offensive line. When he went to NY he lost that and never had those holes open up at the point of attack. That's why you saw all the dancing from hin at NY, he just wasn't used to not having a hole at the point of attack.With this move to Denver he gets to run behind arguably the best offensive line in football. He should get more holes at the line of scrimmage with this team and I think we can all agree, if he can get through the first line of defense, he is quite a load to bring down. Plus, he is pretty fast for a big guy.It will be interesting to see what he can do in Denver. But, it will also be a new version of a NY song: "If he can't make it there, he won't make it anywhere !"

My how some forget:last offseason, Dayne was "In the BEST SHAPE of HIS LIFE" according to Tom Coghlin as well as all the writers up here. Guess what? EVERY ONE IS IN THE BEST SHAPE OF THEIR LIFE in the offseason. Mostly that's fluff but regardless, in shape vs. having heart, hitting the hole HARD and driving people are completely different.

If a women cheats on you once a year and every year she tells you "I will NEVER cheat on you again" some men believe her and get burned. As for me, I've seen enough of this chick to know what to expect and it isn't her being faithful.

Add: I don't understand the Green and Kurt comparison, unless you are saying ALL the other RB will be out for the season.

I concur. All the man needs is a chance.

Will be surprised (unless DEN has to put three RB on IR) if Ron is still on DEN roster come regular season.

I'll slow it wayyy down for you. Warner got his chance with a great team and made the most of it. Prior ot that season he had done NOTHING in the NFL.All Dayne needs is a chance with a great rushing team like the Broncos.

http://www.denverpost.com/sports/ci_2909119He did win the Heisman... and he is a good fit for the Broncos system. I'd say they've done well with guys who have less credentials than this guy.

:X I really have no idea what to say to this.

Your post has left me with nothing to say...and not in a good way.

This may be the worst post ever.

Rueben Droughns....need a link to last season? Ofcourse, if you put enough filters on it you can eliminate everyone!find me a starting RB who has won a SB with a sister named Martha, and who also like Jelly Bellys...

Still can't compare the two, I understand what you were trying to get at, but still not even close.One QB went down for the season and the other was forced into the QB spot, NOBODY knew how great or bad he would be.

Dayne is NOT the only RB in DEN who won't be on the IR for the entire season and he has PROVEN that he sucks as a RB.

Dude, again, I lived in NYC since he was drafted and saw MORE than I've ever wanted to see him, he stinks and the ONLY reason he's at a camp is because of where he was drafted.

He will most likely not even make their roster for the season.

Note: Go back and look at last year's preseason and offseason on how many people had the man love for Ron, he even looked good in preseason then see his regular season. That's his celling.

To this day I had no idea why SA wasn't drafted hgher than Ron. Saw both in college and after SA ran all over the place in his bowl game I thought the Giants were a lock to draft him.

 

[fatness]

All Dayne needs is a chance with a great rushing team like the Broncos.

But alas, in a humbling twist of fate, he will not get that chance since there are at least 3 and probably 4 RB's on the Broncos who are better than he is. And on every other NFL team. To get his chance with a great rushing team he'll need to play in Europe.

COULD is a word that can apply to just about everything, that word rarely holds water for me.Ron Dayne, COULD be the rushing champ.

If only he could find that perfect, golden situation where his prowess would shine. Oh, thats right, he did. It was called college, ie totally inferior atheletes."

bea arthur as the next big DEN RB made me barf out loud.

THIS THREAD MUST STOP. I do not believe one person on this thread really intends to draft Dayne. This is insane, the dude is a load and everyone here knows it.

Oh yeah, and ofcourse the same opportunity that was presented to Rueben Droughns last season, a CAREER FB, that opportuity didn't show anything, right?

I havent got a clue what this is supposed to prove. Ron Dayne hasnt had an opportunity? That is so laughable. That slug has had so many more opportunties than your average NFL RB its ridiculous. You see, there is a difference, Droughns actually made something of his opportunity. Dayne has never, and will never do that, because Dayne has no talent. Droughns may never have succeeded before, but no-one ever called him soft. Dayne is soft and combines the plodding slowness of Drougns with the fall down on first contact (or trip over line of scrimmage) that doomed Griffin. Comparing Dayne to Droughns is absurd. Just because Kurt Warner came from Arena Football and kicked ### doesnt mean the guy from the Chicago Rush even deserves a tryout.

MB, I would give Skeletor a call then! He is obviously mistaken. I meant Dayne hasn't had the opportunity with a team and an offensive line like the Broncos. If you would refrain from taking things out of context, that would be nice.

The Giants could have traded down about 10 spots and taken Shaun Alexander. Guy could probably be arm tackled by Todd Pinkston if TP played defense.

Oh, thats right, Skeletor has never been wrong. I dont get the argument, if any sack of crap can succeed behind the Denver o-line, how is it a compliment to Dayne to say 'YES, HE CAN BE THAT SACK OF CRAP!'

I meant Dayne hasn't had the opportunity with a team and an offensive line like the Broncos.

You could say that about all but a handful of RBs on earth. I mean, Curtis Enis and Lawrence Phillips never got the opportunity to run behind the Denver O-line. So what? If you cant run behind the line Tiki led the NFC behind, sorry but you just arent a good RB. Ok, so just maybe he can be better behind the Denver line, but wouldnt it therefore be smarter to get a better RB behind that line, and than have a real stud instead of a dud that in the perfect conditions might be a legitimate NFL Rb? You know I've never had a chance to run behind the Denver O-line, shouldnt i get my shot?
