if there was a most improved player award in the nfl...

[CR91]

brown would win it easily. this is not the brown of old. I dont know if brown is coming into his own or just because its a contract year, but brown is playing like he deserved to be a first round pick. for years labeled a bust and now hes showing that big play ability the colts were expecting from him when they drafted him.

[Maniq]

Hope he stays. Him, TRich and Ballard could do damage.

[coltsfanatic24]

It should be called the Donald Brown award. I've never seen a player play so bad his first few years then play so great the next year. He deserves to win it.

[TheEdgeis1]

Donald Brown never did play bad in his career, I have no idea why he became this whipping boy on this forum.  I have always liked him and saw the talent in him.  The guy has all the tools, he just lacks a bit in pass protection.  He has speed, shiftiness, great hands, great vision, and the most important thing is ball security.  He has one fumble in a five year career.  Now don't get me started on Richardson.

did you miss his first four years

[Smonroe]

did you miss his first four years

He was never bad. He was just brittle.

[MAC]

He's ALWAYS had big play ability. It was the running into the middle of the line for no gain, sub-par pass blocking, and injuries that limited him.

[CanuckColt]

Yeah, Donald Brown is doing a heckuva good job running the football...can't ask for much more.

The team is fortunate to have him...hope he comes back.

[MAC]

did you miss his first four years

No, and I actively defended him for the entirety of it.

[CR91]

have at it

[Andy]

Knowshon Moreno would be the winner...

 

But yeah, Brown really improved this year, and if he doesn't come back to the Colts, he'll get a pretty good contract somewhere else.

[Kenny]

Brown always had potential, but was brittle n his vision was shotty his first year or so.

[SOMDColtsfan]

Brown has always had this ability, just never been utilized by this regime nor the former. About freaking time he`s getting his due

^Richardson fan of Christmas past.

[RomanianColtsFan]

That's right. Donald has never been bad. This season he managed to stay healthy and also look good in contrast to Richardson.

Gordon would be

[ColtsLegacy]

I'm going to start calling DB "Slippy" because defenders always seem to just slip right off him when he gets going.

[Andy]

Gordon would be

 

It's not like Gordon had a bad season last year. He actually played well. Moreno went from nothing, being a healthy scratch in several games, to something a 1000 yard 10+ TD running back. The difference there is bigger than Gordon's.

You nailed it.  Brown has always done well.  Between getting injured or having no blocking in front of him

[SilentHill]

The award would go to Foles, but Brown is a good honorable mention.

[DalTXColtsFan]

*** dammit Donald!

[shakedownstreet]

between donald's running & the defense, this team has the markings of a champion

Nobody talks about Moreno, realistically I think Gordon would win.
