It's easy, and only takes a few moments.The fact that Morris and Taylor will each likely be out at times is the reason I want to keep them both. At any given time, one will likely be able to play.If we had to choose two from three and Morris and Taylor were healthy and full of energy ... no question. But the reason to keep BJGE is that we can't expect that from both Fragile Fred and Sometimes Sammy.
pick 2 of 3
would you rather have the proven vets which are old and injury prone or would rather have the new guy who hasnt proven anything?
i would go with BJGE, lets finally see if hes worth a spot, we dont need BOTH of morris and taylor, pick one
I would rather go with the guys who are more likely pick pick up yardage.pick 2 of 3

There were times when either Morris or Taylor didn't dress for games because of injuries (sometimes both) where BJGE didn't see the field or so vey limited action last year. Taylor missed most of the year. Morris missed four games. BJGE still only had 26 carries all of last year.
People need to get over BJGE. Right now, I wouldn't guarantee him a spot over Eric Kettani, Pat Paschall, or Chris Taylor. BJGE has been in the league for two seasons now and we know what he is (a JAG who fills in the bottom of the roster and only sees the field if guys in front of him are deactivated for the game). He had plenty of opportunities to prove he was something more last year and never stepped up even with Taylor and Morris not on the active roster in the same game. If any of the younger guys show promise in the preseason, it may be time for Belichick to move on from BJGE.
Don't be surprised if the Pats RB roster in 2010 is Maroney, Faulk, Morris, Taylor, and Paschall with BJGE on another team. Personally, I think Paschall may have far more upside than BJGE.
BJGE is the RB version of Bam Childress. And like Childress, chances are good that after two years of not living up to the fan hype, he will be seeking his services elsewhere. The only time BJGE showed anything last year was garbage time on a 59-0 route.
BTW, my predicted roster is what I stated in the last post - Maroney, Faulk, Morris, Taylor, and Paschall. So if I have to pick two, it is Morris and Taylor since I don't see BJGE beating out Paschall either.
This is probably the most likely core, even though I feel Morris and Taylor are toast.
no, BJGE is a question mark...i cannot agree with those who are saying we have seen his ceiling, we havnt, we havnt had the chance

That is exactly the scenario with BJGE. He has never performed on a consistent basis in the regular season for us to really see what he is like. And until that happens, there is absolutely no justification for grading him.
