Maroney is going to be just fine - he's young, he's still learning and in the process of developing his own style. Not every NFL star comes into the leauge "made to order".

this is where we do not see a kid plagued by injuries, it is not where we see a dancer instead of a burster, this is where we see potential before our very own eyes...

stay tuned, and you will watch the best runningback in the NFL....as there will be no doubt to that statement in 2 yrs time....

but all good things begin somewhere, tonight is where Maroney, the true Laurence Maroney will be unleashed....

prepare to be delighted pats fans....

prepare to fall prey to misfortunate timing Bills fans...
im hoping youre right.

I watch him every week. Like I say, I like him and I think he is a solid back, but he's not a "top 5 back in the NFL" type back. He's not a game-changing, playmaking type of back. That's all I am saying.

I mean, honestly, are you telling me you would not trade Maroney straight up IN A HEARTBEAT for any of the following backs?

Adrian Peterson
Willie Parker
Joseph Addai
Deuce McAllister
Marshawn Lynch
LaDanian Tomlinson
LenDale White
Reggie Bush
Mo Jones-Drew

Now, THOSE lads are what I would call EXPLOSIVE!

Not a knock on Maroney, as I say. He's a solid, servicable back and a nice kid, but just NOT explosive, IMO.

I love New England, but that doesn't mean I think EVERY single player we have is the best at their position! Now THAT'S insane!

Exactly. Right now. He's a good, solid back. Maybe he becomes more, maybe he doesn't. But to deem a top back right now is just not logical.

I don't see anyone making that argument. You're arguing against a straw man.

And the fact that you just called LenDale White explosive lost you the shred of credibility you had left. And no, I wouldn't trade him for McAllister, Bush, or White.

Are you saying Maroney is a top five back?

No. But I certainly believe he has the potential to be.

I think he has the potential to. I am worried about his durabilty personally. I do think in a sense he is made out of glass.


I hope he proves me wrong. The cinci game last year was such a tease as to what he can do.

I'll be VERY surprised if Maroney reaches the 100 yard mark tonight. However I will be pleasantly surprised if he can manage to prove me wrong.

Personally, I felt that way after taking the liquids before my colonoscopy exam
