Default Is there a RB on this team that is a lock for 2010?

Just looked at the RB situation and I really wonder if there is a true lock for being on the opening roster next season?

Fred Taylor is another year older and still chancy to take with his injury history

Laurence Maroney has been one dissapointment one year after another and since its expected by most prognosticators that the team drafts a RB in the first 3 picks I am not quite sure he is a lock

Sammy Morris has been another who has been injured and in and out of a shuffling lineup,while he has looked decent in some games,in others he has been bad

Kevin Faulk is of course just about every Patriots fans favorite and should be the favorite of the whole RB group to make it probably at a 98% chance,but with him getting older at 34 one never knows if a total surprise can happen

BJGE has been a player on the bubble for a few years and probably is a longshot to make the team

While most will say Faulk is a lock....is there really a LOCK otherwise?

I'd say that Faulk is the only lock out of the group. The others are either too old, too injury prone, or too unproductive.

I agree 100% with you on this. We certainly don't need both Morris and Taylor. Lets get some young legs in here.

As much as everyone likes Faulk i wouldn'y say he's a lock. He's an old UFA, and the team will probably target a back with similar skills in the draft. I think he will be around at least 1 more year though, along with Maroney (due to his low salary).

If we draft a RB BJGE is gone, and probably Morris or Taylor, who ever BB decides.

Right.


Everyone is infatuated with BJGE, but there IS a reason why hes still the last guy on the depth chart, and only gets carries when theres no one else available: Hes not any good.

I'd love to see them upgrade Morris/Taylor with Chester Taylor if Minny doesnt tag him.

This guy has been one of the most underrated backs in the league for the bulk of his career. First with Baltimore, then with Minny. He is as well rounded as they come. Runs with power, catches exceptionally well, and is an outstanding blocker.
