I watch him every week. Like I say, I like him and I think he is a solid back, but he's not a "top 5 back in the NFL" type back. He's not a game-changing, playmaking type of back. That's all I am saying.
I mean, honestly, are you telling me you would not trade Maroney straight up IN A HEARTBEAT for any of the following backs?
Adrian Peterson
Willie Parker
Joseph Addai
Deuce McAllister
Marshawn Lynch
LaDanian Tomlinson
LenDale White
Reggie Bush
Mo Jones-Drew
Now, THOSE lads are what I would call EXPLOSIVE!
Not a knock on Maroney, as I say. He's a solid, servicable back and a nice kid, but just NOT explosive, IMO.
I love New England, but that doesn't mean I think EVERY single player we have is the best at their position! Now THAT'S insane!
