After McIntosh left I always thought James Mungro got a raw deal sitting behind Dee. I know Dee was productive, but, I always thought Mungro could've been tremendous if he was the feature back for more of his career.

Mungro was terrific, but I think you're selling Dee short--he was a terrific college back, and a guy who played in the NFL.

On that note, I attended a random Browns / Panthers game back in like 2000 or 2001, and the Panthers RBs were so beat up, they were starting Dee Brown [who was like 4th string]. They ended up giving him something like 25 carries, and he rushed for 120 or so yards in a Panthers win.

I was the only one in Browns stadium rooting for Dee Brown.

Dee Brown threw an interception in that game. Weird.

joe morris deserves the credit and more for "44" despite the fact he never wore the number---but played with the soul of that number---he is the only person to represent that LEVEL of excellence since that era---most others were excellent but not at that level. it bothers me , that no one talks about the ols, they helped those backs,but i guess we are talking about the individual toughness of the backs. no folks are ever tougher than the guys who open holes. MY favorite back of all time was jim nance overlooked and underrated

Nance was also an All American national champion wrester at heavyweight. Not too shabby.
