Minor vs Brown

Submitted by weasel3216 on
I know that this will be completely personal opinion but i figured i would ask. Who do you think should get the start, Brown or Minor? Brown has been dominate the past two weeks with huge TD runs and seems to be just running people over (38 carries for 321 and 3 TD). However, Minor is not far off doing the same, he is putting up solid numbers (31 for 177 and 2 TD). I know both will continue to get reps and plenty of PT over the season unless one gets injured (knock on wood), but i was just curious what everyone thought of them.

I might agree with you, chitownblue. I said last year that Shaw reminds me a bit of Tyrone Wheatley. They don't have the same body types, but they are physical runners with sprinter's speed. As long as he can stay healthy, I think Shaw could be great.

I think that Brown is the better athlete (and may have the higher NFL upside) but there is no doubt in my mind that Minor is the better running back. How many times have you seen Brown just run 100 mph directly into the line before a play has any chance to develop? Minor seems to do such a better job of recognizing the holes and even creating his own. So, I definitely favor Minor getting most carries with a few Brown runs tossed in to change the pace.
