So, in 87 carries, Ridley put the ball on the ground at least 3 times - every 29 carries with a very light workload. So, what happens if the Pats increase his workload? Nothing will prompt BB sit him down faster than fumbling.

That's a terrific point, and explains why Kevin Faulk was never long for this team.
Im pretty sure he fumbled in a regular season game but got the ball back.He fumbled in a pre-season game. Statistically, that does not count.
The more important point is that Ridley was a rookie and defenses caught on to the fact that he has a fundamental issue in how he protects the football.

Yes, youre right, will teams go after him because of his ball security.
Faulk cleaned up his fumbling and blocking problems as a 3rd down situational player. Is that what Ridely is?
Youre hilarious though.
You cant wait to see BJGE hit the highway, but like to drive the Ocho Stinko bandwagon. Your previous bandwagons: Bultler, Maroney, Chad Jackson. It doesnt look good for Stinko.
I don't seeing the Pats paying more than $3m annually for BJGE. In my opinion, BJGE will be playing somewhere else next season.
I don't know--$3M seems like a lot. It's rare that a running back is more productive over the life of his second contract than his rookie contract. CMart, Jerome Bettis, Marshal Faulk. Who are the others?
BJGE for $3M/year would be a great deal for both sides IMO. I remember one of Faulk's contracts averaged more than that as a 3rd down specialist and the market nowadays would normally require alot more for someone who gets as many touches as BJGE.
I love the potential of Ridley/Vereen from what I've seen of them but neither are proven yet, it's a risk to depend on either at this point.
No, but Faulk showed that fumbling issues can be mollified through effort and coaching.
Unsurprising that you would conflate "bandwagoning" with rejecting unwarranted or unfair criticism, given that you've never done anything to indicate reading comprehension is in your wheelhouse.
As far as BJGE goes, if you could read, you'd know based on my previous statements that I'm ambivalent whether he stays or goes, but firm in the conviction that he should not be this team's RB1 next season.
Hopefully that clears things up for you.
And, by limited opportunities to fumble. A 3rd down back is all he is/was.
Seriously, player evaluations are not your strong suit. Ocho is a dead man walking with you in his corner.
Your memory is good, but very short.
You just said "addition by subtraction" The team is better off without BJGE according to you. Ridley is ready though.
It does. BJGE needs to be back for 2012.
I am going to be pissed if the pats let him walk
