Ronnie Hillman vs Doug Martin

[sdsuphilip4]

Who has the better career when they are done with the NFL?

[tailingpermit]

Neither, Pee Fart.

[PTR]

Ronnie Hillman has really taken advantage of his opportunity the past couple of weeks. 

 

My guess is he's going to be a 12-15 carry back for Denver moving forward for the rest of the season. Thompson will probably be the 5-8 carry power back to spell him. The Bronco's running game looks worlds better with Hillman/Thompson carrying the load. 

[schmalls]

Is Martin still on the Bucs?

[Jwherb]

Hard to say.  Hillman is definitely in the better situation right now, and for the next few years.  I think Martin is the better talent, and apparently NFL GM's thought so as well. 

[sdsuphilip4]

Martin definitely has had the better career to this point, I doubt Hillman ever has a season as good as Doug's rookie year, but something has changed with Martin, whether he has gotten out of shape, an injury, or something to him. TB is a mess, but I don't think it is the only reason for the regression, it has gone too far. I mean Trent Richardson is averaging more YPC than Doug.

Doug hasn't been good at all so it is hard to say.  Hillman will never be anything more than a change of pace guy because of his inability to block.  Can't hold up being a every down back.

You a fortune teller? He isn't the prototype but he handled way more volume than Martin in college and Martin has already proven he can't hold up being a every down back.

All I care is that someone is toting the rock effectively in Denver.  I don't care who it is.  Last year Ball did well, this year HIllman is doing well and I hope he keeps doing well.

 

Hillman has a lot more HR capability than the rest of the backs on Denver's roster, so I think that alone warrants at least 8-10 touches per game.  The only back on the roster that could make that run HIllman made in the third quarter is Hillman.  Nobody else can make that cut and as many guys miss on their way to the end zone.  They'd have been caught.  I'm fine with them going with HIllman as long as he doesn't fumble.

Hillman has a long ways to go before he can even say he had a NFL career.

HIllman has his first decent back to back games in his career and now Phil wants to crown him lol. Hillman plays with a top 2-3 QB and top 2-3 OL. Martin plays with the bottom 2-3 Qb and OL.

How am I crowning him? Martin has been awful since his rookie year and already has had a serious injury.

[Bronco69]

Hillman shows some promise, but he does have the highest % of touches to fumbles of anyone playing in the league at this time. Martin has not looked very good since his rookie year, hard to know how good or bad he is given the troubles his offense has.

This is only the third game Hillman has received starter level carries and it the third game he's produced in.

You give him 20 carries he'll make things happen.

No he doesn't.

No, that would be Brett Smith.

Hillman did some really high level stuff last night. The spin move after the reception. That long touchdown run. he didn't use the intended hole. Also, anyone who watched the game last night would have noticed he was great picking up blitz.

Pee fart?

[pokerider]

and thats why your don't see anyone comparing him to Andrew Luck huh
