Default Is Maroney officially a bust yet?

He better show me something this year. It's so hard to watch a guy with so much talent, show up once in a while.

What's up with this guy?

no way. the guy is still so young. he was a key part of this team being successful in the playoffs in 2008 before the ugly ending in the super bowl. for example, he was a monster in the game with the chargers, he controlled the clock and helped us manage the game.

people have short memories and it's a shame. i think maroney definitely has the talent to be a great rb and i think this could be the year he breaks out.

Hes been disappointing, we'll see if he can stay healthy and be consistent this season.

They'll find out Randy can't run consistently anymore. He'll drive [Tom] Brady and [Bill] Belichick crazy. This is just my personal opinion from what I saw: He's losing his legs. He's becoming an old man fast.

trade him now! cause after this year, we ain't gonna get nuttin Too much dancing, too many injuries, he doesn't power through the line like Morris or Jordan even did. I say we trade him for a decent CB

Marion Barber is going the path of glass crockery, so I will reserve my opinion. I'm high on LoMo so I hope he steps it up this season.

yeah i know what you're saying but i mean look at the 3 seasons he's been here. his first season he split the rock with dillion so he wasn't a feature back. his 2nd year he was barely used until the weather started affecting the games. the Pats were so pass happy the first part of the year but maroney came up big late in the season and in the playoffs. this year he was hurt early on and missed basically the whole year.

so i mean people are going to call him a bust, but i don't think he's been given enough of a chance. i could be wrong, but i think this is the year that he really steps up especially with the competition there will be in camp with taylor and morris.

I think it has to do with style of running. He is always trying to break it to the outside like that's gonna get him further down the field. But truth is, I don't think he's ever had a HUGE run before. Most of his success is in the screen because the field is more open, which even though that fits us, I think any JAG RB can do well in our screen plays.
