First... lets start with the 10 TDs...
His first season, Ronnie was splitting carries with Ricky Williams. Are you shocked Ronnie didnt get all the goalline carries that year? Ricky got a good amount of goalline carries as well. Last year, Ronnie had 5 TDs in 13 games. But you have to realize... that in order for an RB to get a good amount of TDs... their offense has to be productive and get in scoring situations pretty frequently. Our offense blew dick... and there werent a ton of goalline situations for him to take carries in. If you look at his stats... whenever we give him the rock... he produces. Period. Cameron has already stated that he is going to give him a much bigger load than he had last year. Thank god...
And about our offensive cordinator ignoring Ronnie... he is a fucking moron. Honestly. 3rd and 1... and he was calling shotgun 4 wide. It was insane. He would abandon the run as soon as we got down by 3 pts. This was the first and only year he was our offensive cordinator. It honestly was the most frustrating thing to watch... ever. You can ask Bills fans about him... as he was their HC/OC before coming to Miami. They HATED him... and laughed their asses off that their division rival (Miami) hired him to run our offense.
And I am well aware that he was the #2 pick. Quick question... besides Merriman, who else would you have taken that year? Nobody. Ronnie was the 2nd pick in that draft... and he is still one of the best players from that draft. No, he isnt Reggie Bush, nor Calvin Johnson... but that draft was EXTREMELY weak. We got one of the best players in that draft with the #2 pick. Thats all you can do. You cant make the talent pool better...
And wait... so you honestly believe that putting the ball in Harrington's hands instead of Ronnie's gave us the best chance to win?!? Are you insane? Mularkey... is that you?
