The main difference between Maroney and our other backs is that when there's no hole, Morris, Taylor, Faulk, will run straight into the pile, while Maroney dances and tries to go outside and lose a yard or two. It's not a good play and he needs to realize that he can't outrun people in this league, but I don't believe for one minute that he's done here.

I don't either. I've been a Maroney apologist the entire time. However, for me, there is no question. If we can trade Maroney for Jackson and anything less than a first round pick, do it, and do it fast. Jackson would be a beast in our offense.

Well I was thinking Maroney +Pats 2011 first rounder for Nmandi Asomugha

and then (BJGE or Matt Light) +Pats 2010 third rounder for Steven Jackson

Way too much to give up in both cases.

BJGE didn't play well enough to even make the trip out to Denver,Doubt he has any trade value whatsoever.

Don't think that's true. He was one of the 45 active for Denver.

There were reports last Saturday that said he did not make the trip,Don't know for certain but what I read. - He has no stats in the Denver game so I am not sure.

I gotta admit I'd be very happy if the Pats found someway to acquire Jackson this season.

First off, get rid of Bologna!!! Trade him to Dancing with the stars producers. Then we need to go after Jackson. This guy is the best RB in the NFL in my opinion considering the awful offense and O-line. He is very hard to tackle and doesn't go down easily, catches out of the back field....Hell, he is their offense. They should have changed their names to St. Louis Jackson's. He is 1st round material and has more than 4 years left...besides, thats basically how long the Pats keep any of their first rounders.
