Since almost every thread you started for years has been a joke, why change now? Why not just lie about what was said? Those who didn't like Maroney claimed that Maroney was a bust and unproductive, and others disputed it. That has been hashed over so many times no need to repeat it.
In the end, BB's decision to trade Maroney may have been the best for the team (though the IRing of Faulk shows that it may have been a tad premature), but that was never the "Maroney sucks" argument. It was always about who was the better running back, Maroney or Morris or BJGE.
The fact is that there were many here who thought Maroney was more talented and had better production than BJGE, and those facts are still true. Sadly, Maroney's inability to learn and utilize those talents resulted in his getting traded.
He is similar to Chad Jackson in that way (though of course Jackson was cut outright). Though Jackson was cut early on, and Aiken was retained, no one in his right mind would say that Aiken was more talented than Chad Jackson.
It is sad for both of them that such great talent go to waste. Their signing bonuses had been paid and were on rookie minimum contracts and still couldn't stick with the team even though the players replacing them had less talent. How sad it that. We use the term "over-achiever" often as a negative when describing a player, but that is so much better than an under-achiever.
If only we could get Maroney's talent into BJGE's body, or Chad Jackson's talent into Bam Childress. Or the other way around. BJGE/Bam's work ethic and coachability into Maroney/Jackson.
But such is life. I still say Maroney had way more talent than BJGE, and Chad Jackson way more than Sam Aiken. If only they could have gotten their heads on straight, what a difference they would have made the last few years.
FOr the rest, no one that I can see is hiding, whatever that even means, and as far as being ridiculed, well, for centuries jokers have been ridiculing their betters, who take no offense. I kind of look forward to your next thread.
I find it amusing that Maroney lovers who were almost mocking members in here about anyone saying that BJGE was better for the team suddenly shuts up when Belichick followed suit and made the CORRECT move.
Easy to hide in here knowing you were wrong is apparently as easy to ridicule
