It's easy, and only takes a few moments.Every sign points to the conclusion that Maroney's failings were more off of the field than on it. In a year where leadership and work ethic were clearly the top personnel priorities, choosing the guy who works three times as hard to achieve 90% of the result does send a positive message.

Maroney has peaked (unless he changes his work habits). BJGE has not. He is still learning and improving, as stated by F. Taylor. People are quick to say how Maroney is the better back. It's too early to say what BJGE's commitment and work ethic will lead to. Give it time.
Mosi Tatupu was a blue collar hard working RB who didn't have the most talent...maybe like Law Firm
If we could get Antowain Smith numbers out of him (circa 2001), that would be great.
It's not just his work ethic. The guy is a good ballcarrier and he plays fullback as well as special teams. Maroney is just an RB who occasionally returns a kick or two.Considering the main reason the Pats continue to give BJGE shots is because of his work ethic, it isn't surprising.
I'm surprised the BJGE bashers haven't been more vocal over the last few days. Maybe they're waiting for him to have a bad game or a key fumble to say "I told ya so".
For what it's worth Taylor had made some comments about the members of the RB group about two weeks ago during a radio interview. He said BJGE was hard working and determined. He said Maroney was a nice kid who was realizing that you have to work at being a RB- that's paraphrased but isn't too far from what he actually said. It was very telling at the time.
But...as was discussed in another thread, RB is the most plug-and-play position on the field, where rookies typically make the greatest impact.
