Let's Put An End To the Maroney Madness(X3 Merged)

Re: Honestly, can we now all agree that Maroney is NOT the answer as an every down ba

I never said I wanted him to be selected over Maroney. Find me the post! I said I liked him better then Maroney watching them both at minn. You are trying to make it seem like I thought Maroney and Barber went in the same draft class , when all I said was that I LIKED Barber better as a runner.

Stop making things up

Sorry, but Seb didn't make anything up..

Its your problem of saying ONE thing when you mean another. Comes from that reading comprehension problem you have.

Re: Honestly, can we now all agree that Maroney is NOT the answer as an every down ba

You asked me how I felt. Apparently I had no opinion on the topic back in 05 since I did not post it here

Halarious how serious you take this website. SloMo is a avg nfl back who so far is a bust.

Deal with it.

I didn't ask you how you felt about Barber. I asked you about Bush. And, not surprisingly, you claimed to be a part of the tiny minority of people who were publicly saying that Bush would be a bust. I can't prove you're lying, but we both know that your position on that has likely 'evolved' considerably.

As for Maroney, your line makes no sense. If he's an 'average nfl back', then he's not a bust. As I believe I've shown before, probably on another thread, Maroney is one of only 2 running backs from his draft that's even his team's #1 back, along with Addai. Above and beyond that, only Jones-Drew would even be in the conversation about the best backs from that draft.

To date, the best backs in the Maroney draft, in no particular order, are:

Maroney
Jones-Drew
Addai

Rightttttt over your headddddddddd


Back on topic jack. Tell us why Maroney is not a avg NFL running back comparable to the udfa jag Kenton Kieth.

No, please explain this to me.

DaBruinz wrote that Bethel Johnson lasted three years on the Patriots. You replied:

I see. Looks like Maroney is 75 percent there!

Clearly two is not 75 percent of three. In fact, Maroney hasn't even played two complete seasons here. You then retorted:

My god I was not being sarcastic!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! You got me Jack

Please tell me how what you wrote "went over my head." I eagerly await your forthcoming rationalization.

Re: Honestly, can we now all agree that Maroney is NOT the answer as an every down ba

Yes you did. I was not the one talking about the backs. NSA was. Haha good one da excuses.

No, I didn't. But there you go again, lying through your teeth.

And yes, you have talked about the different backs. Just like Grizz did.

BUt far be it from you to admit a mistake.

Re: Honestly, can we now all agree that Maroney is NOT the answer as an every down ba

*ROFLMAO* No. Its just another case of you not actually saying what you mean. Comes from that reading comprehension issue you have.

When you say "I didn't want him. I liked Barber better," in normal english that implies you'd have rather the Pats take Barber over Maroney.

No it doesent. It means I didnt like Maroney , and I liked Barber better then him. I never said I wanted to draft Barber. I said I liked him better as a runner.

Hahaha!

He called you "DaExcuses." Oh snap. Time to take your ball and head on home.

Re: Honestly, can we now all agree that Maroney is NOT the answer as an every down ba

Because you keep waiting for these guys to magically EMERGE and point to 1 or 2 exceptions and not the RULE. For every Tiki Barber there has been tons of others that NEVER got better. It's the o-line's fault, Maroney's only 22, our passing game is too good, he's coming back from injury, he's "learning" the offense, yada, yada, yada. The kid sucks. Deal with it.

I find it amazing that you consider yourself to be even moderately intelligent.

1) YOU and your fellow Maroney haters are the imbeciles who pointed out Barber and Smith as support as to Maroney not being good. So, when its pointed out to you that they didn't become these great backs until theit 4th and 6th seasons, you back-track and spin in an attempt to discredit them.

2) There have been a lot of people who've pointed out issues with the run blocking by the O-line.

3) He is learning PATIENCE. He knows the offense. Maybe you should actually try quoting me properly.

4) Experience makes a HUGE difference in this game. Only an imbecile like yourself would attempt to lessen its value.

Re: Honestly, can we now all agree that Maroney is NOT the answer as an every down ba

Scathing truth. I suspect a 3000 word excuse from da bruinz to this simple fact.

There was plenty of truth in there. Except he was MOCKING it instead of taking it as reality.

 

[DaBruinz]

Re: Honestly, can we now all agree that Maroney is NOT the answer as an every down ba

Lost an argument? LOL! I just find it hilarious that you waste every hour of your day trying to defend your boy Maroney. I didn't post on this site for almost a week and I come back and here you are again all bent out of shape defending the sorry arse play of your boy SLoMo. Don't forget to send him some cookies for the holiday's.

First off, I don't WASTE every hour of every day defending Maroney. I don't need to. There are actually people here who have a brain and use it. Unlike you and Danny88.
Secondly, Maroney isn't MY BOY. I have taken a wait and see attitude with an eye on REALITY. Not the BS idiocy you spew.
Third, I'm not bent out of shape in the least. You idiots think this has any bearing on my life. No. I could care less. I actually feel SORRY for you and Danny88 because I can't believe that two people who claim to be intelligent are actually so delusional, they have no concept on reality.

Hahaha!

Sorry SFBs, you said no such thing in the post I originally quoted. And what you said is directly what was quoted.

You don't understand the english language. Plain and simple.

Sorry moron. You are wrong again. I never said points.. But far be it from you to admit you screwed up. You've not done so.

Re: Honestly, can we now all agree that Maroney is NOT the answer as an every down ba

Hey Da Excuses, I just read Mike Reiss's article today. It clearly states that the Steelers had the #1 pass defense in the league heading into yesterday. So why is it that we decided to pass all day and not run? Afterall, using your lame argument to why Maroney doesn't get more carries, shouldn't we have ran the ball more? Once again, your phony baloney excuses get shot out of the water. C'mon, let's hear the excuse to cover up for the other excuse now.

Brady's game shows they made the right call to focus on the pass.

Faulk can be pretty effective in the run in limited action, but how many carries has he been getting? Not many.

Steelers have played the NFC West, and in the last 2 weeks played in a rainstorm and a monsoon swamp. Makes those stats look nice.

Pittsburgh is 3rd in the NFL in YPC allowed, allowing only 3.6 yards per carry. What the NSAs and Danny88s don't grasp is that you don't run against that sort of defense when you can force them to cover a 5 receiver corps of Moss, Stallworth, Welker, Gaffney and Faulk (or sub in Watson for Faulk or Gaffney). There's not a team in the NFL that can stop that receiving corps without holding and interfering, which has been demonstrated repeatedly throughout the season.

Multiple people have tried to explain that to NSA and others, but their mad-on for Maroney prevents them from understanding.

It was definitely the right call because Maroney would have did his usual run-of-the-mill performance. I know that. I just find it funny since the Maroney toadies like to say we don't run against good run defenses because it makes no sense. Then why do we pass against the best pass defense? The answer i sobvious. Brady and Moss are STUDS and Maroney is a DUD.

Because the best pass defenses can't stop them. Idiot. It has nothing to do with Maroney.

Re: Honestly, can we now all agree that Maroney is NOT the answer as an every down ba

Rushing attempts of the 2000 Super Bowl Champion Rams:
431 in 16 games (26.935 attempts per game)

Rushing attempts of the 1998 Minnesota Vikings:
450 in 16 games (28.125 attempts per game)

Rushing attempts of the 2007 New England Patriots:
365 in 13 games (28.076 attempts per game)

With New England gunning for the passing records, it won't surprise me to see the Patriots end up with fewer rushing attempts per game, but it's certainly significant to note that an offense so famous for its passing, shattering scoring and TD records, and having such a derided running back is currently on pace for more rushes per game than "The Greatest Show on Turf" AND the highest scoring offense in NFL history.

I have no problems with the Patriots' game plans, and I wouldn't care if they didn't run the ball again this regular season, but I love seeing numbers refute the 'anti' arguments, especially given the fact that this Patriots team is last in the league in possessions and still on a pace to shatter the all-time scoring record.

Let's repeat that again for all those who don't understand the game planning:

THE PATRIOTS ARE LAST IN THE LEAGUE IN THE NUMBER OF OFFENSIVE POSSESSIONS, UNLESS THAT CHANGED LAST WEEK. NONETHELESS, THEY ARE ON PACE TO SHATTER THE ALL-TIME SCORING RECORD, THE TD'S FOR A QUARTERBACK RECORD, THE TD RECEPTIONS FOR A WIDE RECEIVER RECORD AND, POSSIBLY, THE ALL-TIME PASSING YARDAGE RECORD. THAT'S HOW GOOD THIS PASSING GAME IS.

Dude, you are so wrong! It doesn't matter how many points you score...all that matters is that your offense divides up touches based on the round the player was drafted. Otherwise, why even have a draft at all? Madness I tell you, madness!

I mean the Steelers know that Maroney is horrible and didn't pay any attention to him at all. Unless you count the play action that allowed Moss to get 20 yards behind the safeties for a touchdown. But that play was only worth 1 touchdown which barely countered the 1 touchdown the Steelers scored.

Maroney has so tainted this team that other players are refusing to run forward now. Moss actually ran backwards to catch a pass. So disgusted by the thought of running, he actually threw the ball back to Brady! Despite having a horde of blockers in front of him, Brady had such distain for running that he threw the ball AGAIN! Gaffney (presumably heading for the bathroom) was actually downfield and caught the ball...and then he refused to run as well! Luckily he was already in the end zone or that could have been devastating.

So God bless danny and NSA. They are just trying to save the Patriots before the Maroney disease fully consumes them and they just throw the ball around like a game of keepaway or a Globetrotters' circle. Running is critical!!! For cardiovascular health, as well as shapely buns and thighs.

And remember...if you stop bashing Maroney, the terrorists win.
