Crying over spilled milk: should've drafted DeMarco Murray over Ridley or Vereen

I know I have written this before, and I know there is nothing the Pats can do about this now, and this is just bringing up the past.

But.....

How can the Pats scouting department and BB, look at Steven Ridley and Shane Vareen, and think either one was a better prospect than Demarco Murray. This screw up cannot be overlooked. can you imagine the dimension he would have brought to the Pats offense.

When you watch him run, and you watch Ridley run, I can't help but ask the Pats, what were you thinking!!!!, and saying that over and over again. There is no excuse for such a lapse in scouting judgement. I mean this was a no brainer, one guy is clearly superior to the other two guys in every facet of the game. he must of scored low on a Wonderlic test or something.

Can some reporter ask the Pats what they saw in the 2 backs they have chosen over Murray? ,and also outside of BB if the person or people who help make the call, were fired, or at least reprimanded by the team.

Couldn't answer that question after one game, maybe not even after another season.

One thing for sure, is that the Pats won't need Ridley as much as the Cowboys will need Murray this year, so stats won't tell the story.

I know it's one game, but you have to admit, when you start a thread like this and then a performance like that happens, you look like a bit of a tool, if only for the week.
