Jahvid Best and 16 or Donald Brown and 11?

Personally, I'd have to go with Brown. But then again, I'm heavily and highly concerned with Best's health. He has yet shown to be able to last a full season sine when? Even his college seasons were marred with injuries. Now with his concussion worries in a new NFL focused on Head Health, I don't see how Best will be able to survive or would even want to survive in this league. I think one more concussion and I think he'd be reconsidering his career big time and one more concussion may just force him to retire. I have fears that he will see the concussion monster poke its head up again this year. Signs are not good for Best.
But if you don't have those fears, then by all means I think Best is the better back but to me, he's just too risky.

Best side for me.
People are seriously overreacting to Best and a concussion. RBs used to get these all the time and nobody would blink an eye...now the world is ending if it happens. He's 100% healthy, been cleared to play, and much like Collie before him I expect a normal year from him. When playing he's a top5 PPR back. He gets you 20+ a game. Leshoure will be suspended at least half the year and even when back he's done NOTHING and is coming off major injury.
Honestly, would you rather take a low risk chance on greatness or go with a guy whos upside is nonexistent? Easy call.

I go with the back that is a ppr gem and producer. I prefer Best/16 side... Understand the risk but I take that over Brown

I didn't touch Best with a ten-foot pole last season due to injury concerns and I still won't this year. Best had 2 concussions last year and the second one ended his season. I'd be very worried about that. But out of the 2, I do like Best better, I just do not like the risk. I agree with Burgandy here. I like neither side.

But if I'm being honest, as an owner, I'm not hoping he'll be my RB2 . I hoping I can get 2 games out of him and get something for him Honestly, would you rather take a low risk chance on greatness or go with a guy whos upside is nonexistent? Easy call. Can I get an AMEN brother!

Even with the recent news in Detroit about Leshoure.....I am not a Best fan. I dont like DBrown either though. So I guess I take the better rookie pick which seems to be Brown side

It seems as even as it gets to me. I guess it hinges on whether you think Best can hold it together. If you have any faith at all then stick with Best. If not the better pick is probably worth it.

Another owner just sent me a message asking what I want for Brown. Hope I can get a better offer from him. Makes the choice easier.
