Default Can we get some love for Ridley?

The most hated/criticized pick of the 2011 draft is now bearing fruit. He has become our defacto, unquestioned starter at RB. The Pats haven't had such a talented feature back since the days of Corey Dillon.

Ridley is a tough runner and explosive. Yes, he needs to emphasize ball security more. But I think we need to appreciate what we have in Ridley. He has scored on two tough redzone runs. And gives us a solid back we can count on for 20+ touches a game.

This ball security thing is BS. 5 fumbles in 387 carries? 2 of his 4 this year came in a weather game where there were 8 fumbles in the game. The guy has solid ball security.

He's slowed down a little bit after what looked like was going to be a monster season, but 1200+ yards and 12+ TD is still a good season, excellent for a first season as a feature back.

Still room for improvement and I'm sure he will improve but I'd gladly take that year from our starting RB.

I'm a biased observer..

As I watch every RB we have run the ball, I can't help but compare him mentally to Maroney and think to myself: Wooee, this kid is GOOD.

Solid season, weak second half, should be an interesting battle in camp for the starting RB spot if Bolden goes to work.

Were you on these forums on draft night? There were a lot of panties in a bunch after the Pats took back to back running backs.
