Not "totally sold" is an interesting way to put it. Anyone who thinks Maroney is even close to the chopping block simply has not followed the Patriots well. The only way Maroney is possibly not here next year is if a team offers a trade they can't refuse.

Maroney and Faulk are locks.

Actually Id take a look at Huggys boy Fargas and see what his body is like. A better option than Taylor and Morris IMO

I wish we'd get a real fullback, Peyton Hillis, and lose one of our RBs.

Yes, I'd certainly agree with this statement. I think there are several reasons why he'll stay. One, he has great value still money wise. Two, I think Belichick has put forth some extra added effort, as we've heard about their weekly film reviews, etc. The coach obviously feels that there is good talent there, and feels Maroney's mistakes are correctable, IMO. Three, he did improve in his north-south running last year, and hit the hole with more decisiveness. Lastly, I still believe he's the premier back on this RB roster, at least as of right now.

As a 9th ranked rushing unit last year, I believe the committee by approach theory works just fine. That's back to back years now with pretty damn good results. I do think they need to improve on blitz pickups/pass protection, and it would be nice to see the unit 'take over games' again with some clock killing down the stretch. I think we'll need to focus on these areas particularly with the loss of Welker, and if a good rookie RB is available then I'm all for it. Again, if I had to guess it'd be between Morris/Taylor who will be replaced.

I think Morris is gone.

It pisses me off the people that subscribe to the year older garbage. Whilst you might be a year older, you'll always have what the rookies don't... experience.

Age is no measure of performance in my book. If you're playing well you're playing well.

Patjew

Ah, so you're one of those guys that gets a year better, not a year older.

So basically a player needs to meet in the middle with a Touch of Grey?

Don't get the Morris hate at all, he's a great comitiee guy to have and he's pretty consistant. How anyone could pick Fred Taylor right now over Morris honestly baffles me.
