Maybe you should have started this thread on that forum then. Ridley has faced some criticism, but he's also gotten a lot of love, especially this season. Vereen has had more critics because of his draft position and slow start.

Guys who deserve a lot more love around here are Welker and Woodhead. I kind of wish the crowd had had the sense to start some sign the beast chants for Robert's benefit.

ahmed

his cutting/direction change ability on a dime is awesome. I think it's his biggest weapon.

Vereen is getting criticism because he was taken ahead of Ridley. However because of how well Woodhead has played, it's really no big wonder that Vereen has not gotten a lot of snaps.

Would love to resign Woody at the right price. But a team that sees a potential Sproles-type clone in Woodhead might overpay for him. It would be a shame to lose Woodhead, but I think Vereen would provide us much of the same skillset.

The hand-wringing that goes on after each Pats draft day selection always gives plenty of amusement after the fact. Ridley was criticized as a redundant pick who wasn't 'fast enough'. Well it looks like the Pats scouting department got the job done right with the Ridley pick.

I love ALL our running backs and have a super soft spot for woodhead. He is a 1st class human being 1st and foremost. But if we lose woodhead, we have an olympian waiting in the wing.

...back to Ridley. 1,263 rushing yards, 12 TDs. Best NE back since Dillon.

Don't remember if I said it here, but I was telling anyone who would listen back in August that this was Ridley's year. I really liked what I saw out of him last year. Ball security, though not the issue some make it out to be, is something fairly easily taught.

This genius move was followed by trading out of a spot where they could have gotten the last decent receiver in Robert Ferguson and settled for tackle Matt Light, who will not help any time soon.”

Ridley is a top 10 RB in the NFL. The talk of him being the # 1 back is like asking if Brady should be are # 1 QB.

Woodhead is a WR/RB and he should be resigned based on WR depth just as much as RB depth.

Best stable of RB's we've had in my memory. Next season should be even better. Ridley is a beast and Vereen was injured early on. Bolden is a pleasant surprize.
