BenJarvis Green-Ellis looks like the real deal - New England Patriots Forums

Quick decisions, good judgment, fast, strong, lots of moves, gets the tough yardage more often than not. Could he become an elite RB? One can only hope.

Not enough burst to become an elite QB but he and Ridley will be the difference between a first round exit or a deep playoff run.

Run the ball like today and we won't be beat, even if Brady and the pass protection are having an off day.

He is a workhorse. I don't think he'll ever be AP, CJ2K elite though

The real deal? Yes. 1000 yds and 13 tds last year proved that. Elite? Ha. No.

When did one need burst to be a good QB?

i hope he don't fumble now. Please no.

He ran tough today. Give the OLine props, too. More often than not they were giving him huge holes to run through. Especially on those outside runs.

I think we were a little too predictable with Ridley, they were on top of him as soon as he got the ball most times.

He has 1,000 yards last year..he is a good RB

BJ was great starting two seasons ago, ppl who are only noticing or agreeing now just havent been paying attention
