Oh my god yes the broken shoulder is a freak injury but i mean the ones where he misses a game or two.
I think Petersons carries would go down but his average would go up. And in 2005, the Edge got 360 carries for the Colts in what is a pass first offense so yes, i think 20-25 carries a game would be realistic.
And on the Hightower thing, I'l put it like this, I think if Maroney was in 'Zona, his stats would be pretty simular to Hightowers. You are going to disagree which is fine, we'll never find out the answer.
There is nothing "common" about you, so please don't insult the rest of us common folk by including yourself with us.... :singing:
Have you watched Reggie Bush or Darren McFadden or Derrick Ward? They all dance. As much as Maroney.
You are entitled to your opinions. And we are entitled to ours. Especially the ones of your opinions. Remember that.
As far as a first round pick, well, you're just dumb for thinking he "blows." I mean, you're basically putting him into the same group as players like Curtis Enis, Ryan Leaf, Robert Gallery, Pat Sims, Charles Rogers, Kyle Boller, etc, etc.
Why don't you tell everyone what your initial expectations of Maroney were. And don't lie about it either.
My initial expectations of Maroney was: "finally I have a long term replacement - the likes of which we haven't seen since third round pick Curtis Martin."
I'm all for opinions, btw. It's the foundation of message board banter. It's okay that you think they are dumb too. I bet some people think yours may be too. Just sayin.
This tbh. I remember seeing Maroeny run in his first game and thinking, "wow this guy is gonna be reallly good", and he's dissapointed me.

Listen, if you are going to prove yourself insist on claiming something was said that wasn't, you should just stop posting and go away because it brings nothing to the table.
BradyFTW said NOTHING about Maroney's YPC. He was talking about Maroney's success rate. A Running back's Success Rate was explained by Synovia. It has NOTHING to do with Fantasy Football stats. It has to do with the scientific stats that coaches around the league are using. Statistics that Bill Belichick thrives on and uses on a regular basis for his decision making during games (see Intentional Safety against Denver and 2 Pt. Conversion attempts by Carolina in the SB). In fact, Management secrets of the NE Pats (Thank you Mr. Lavin) is a great read and really gives a LOT of insight on how BB thinks and does his game plans and such.
People like yourself, JMarr, snear at Statistics unless they support your case.. Then, they tend to be just lies and aren't worthy of the conversation..
+1. LMAO at people who are taking BB's remarks to mean that Maroney's "struggles" at times have all been the Oline's fault.
Look, Maroney was awesome against the Fins, period. Hitting the holes hard, lowering his shoulder and plowing over defenders--not his usual running style.
It seems to me that now (out of necessity/injuries) the coaches are drilling it into him NOT to look past the 1st level for the home run, but rather to take whatever yardage he can get.
We need a grind-it-out running game at times, and Maroney has not been asked to shoulder that kind of load since the end of '07. The classic RB tandem approach that BB (and most of the league) is now using has made Maroney too one-diminsional until now.

Let me get this straight. I should go away because people like you can only turn red and stomp their feet like babies anytime someone disagrees with their point of view? The fact that you think reading Management Secrets of the NEP a thousand times makes you an expert on anything is pathetic. You really just need to get laid, DaBruinz. JMO
Maroney is exactly middle of the pack amongst starting rb's according to footballoutsiders.
