Default Could more outstanding play of BJGE possibly be Maroney's ticket out of town?

From what I have seen of this young rookie has been nothing short of impressive - He has made yardage out of nothing at times and has taken what the OL has given him and has made the most out of it.

Ben has the vision to see where the running paths are and accelerates to them without much hesitation and uses his strong legs to push back defenders that we have not seen of Maroney when he was healthy - Maroney does not have the vision or straight ahead running style like Ellis has shown in a few games.

IMO BJGE is the future at the RB position and look to be the RB we have wanted for some time although he could all of a sudden hit some kind of wall and become not so good but I don't see it,I see a promising young rookie who has potential to be the starting RB for years to come and what will this team be like in the winter months when/if Jordan,Morris,Faulk and Ellis are HOPEFULLY all healthy or at least at 80% healthy - It would be a dynamic rushing attack which will open the opportunity for Cassel to go long more often.

From what we have seen so far,I think it could very well be time to crown a new RB in Lomo's place and get what we can for Maroney in the offseason.

If at the very least we could see a VERY competitive competition at RB by July - BJGE from his play so far deserves the shot to oust Maroney next summer.

I was thinking the same thing during the game today.

As I have been saying since the start of time, Maroney is made out of glass, he is a poor runner, and it was a mistake to draft him. As proved today, it was not the blocking, it was not the coaching, it was Maroneys lack of skill.

BJGE is a better runner than Maroney and he is an UDFA. Maroney will be forced to earn a spot on this team next year, the pats will keep him until he is up for a contract, then they cut him because he is a JAG!

SloMo Mcglass is finished in NE.

BJGE reminds me a lot of the Jags RB Maurice Jones Drew - Although drew runs with a little more speed and Ellis has more power.

Well Maroney is under a rookie contract and he probably has very little trade value. With the injury prone and uncertain futures of Morris and Jordan, Maroney will be on the team no matter what.

I doubt we can get much for Maroney, he hasn't proven to be the least bit durable and when he has been in he's been far from consistent. We're probably best off just holding on to him and get what we can on the field out of him till his contract runs out. He's still a home run threat and remember how big he was for us down the stretch last season.

IIRC, the draft i terms of RBs went Bush, Maroney, Addai, MJD, and L. White. 4 out of 5 of those guys are pretty explosive in my estimation.

Maroney will get one more year to prove himself. He definitely will not be annointed a starting Rb, but he will compete. His salary does allow him to be a change of pace back too.

I think it's way too early to say that. As for the comparison to Jones-Drew, MJD breaks more tackles. He's a pinball.

I still don't get what the big deal was with Maroney having big games down the stretch - While he played well in the Jags game because the Jags were backing off to prevent the pass he only had another good game against a 1-15 team at that time which was the Dolphins and then became invisible in the Chargers game and SB - I never thought he was very impressive at all last season with the only exception of like I said,The Jags game.
