As the new GM would you go after Ronnie Brown?

I'm eating a lot of crow here, I like what Betts and Rock have done in the last 2 or 3 games when they have been relied upon to move the ball. I especially like them on the field together. If we went rebuild mode I wouldn't have a problem keeping them until we found a viable replacement. Maybe it's Ganther maybe it's not but it would give the team time to aquire someone. In the past I have not liked either Betts or Rock but the good news is they don't have the wear and tear that Portis has and I don't see the need to bring in someone elses broken down backs who have a lot of miles on them.

We might win a few games down the stretch because of performance by Betts and Rock, but they'll be 31 and 30 respectively next year, so we can't get roped into thinking the RB situation is okay.

They'll probably look very good down the stretch in relief of Ports, but we need to make RB a priority in the draft.

No...RB is one of the easiest positions to fill with a draft pick. They need young players not more older guys with injury history. Brown is not that old but he has had injury problems.
