That was an opinion, which I guess people aren't allowed to have around you
Gosh, you'll have to forgive me for interpreting "Maroney has worn out his welcome" as a statement of fact rather than an opinion. It also doesn't really change the point -- which I assume to be true given your omission of any evidence to the contrary -- that you have no basis for making that claim.
Neither does what you believe. You aren't in the locker rooms or in the front office so your opinions don't amount to a hill of garbage either.
LOL.
Please, for hilarity's sake, do tell me you how reconcile the above with:

And actually, as dhamz stated, it will cost the Patriots 900k to cut Maroney. So even though you
believe it wouldn't cost that much to cut him, reality unfortunately says otherwise.

Really, because they have two guys on the roster who have proven themselves to be more than capable of running their asses off for the team and another who has been the backbone for receiving running backs for a decade and another guy who has played well in Maroney's place to the point that he looks like he can handle taking Maroney's downs
I'm sorry. Where in the above screed do you make the case for not keeping Maroney? I must have missed it.
What you need to understand is at this point in time, as the stats bear out, Maroney is the most talented running back we have. The only question is if he can stay healthy. If he can't, he'll likely be gone after next season and he'll be a bust. But the potential is definitely there, and I fully think it's worth giving him a shot to realize said potential.
I can only imagine if you were a Jaguars fan in the beginning of Fred Taylor's career.

Same as I take your opinion as an elitest windbag who only likes to hear his own point.
God forbid someone differ from the great JackBaur
I don't know how it's possible to hear myself on a messageboard, but that's neither here nor there.
The fact that you still think it's at all possible the Patriots would cut Sanders and eat the 3 million is... well, laughable. It's not about disagreement; I welcome disagreement. It's about irrational hatred of players clouding people's judgments and arguments with no basis in fact. I apologize if this is inconvenient for you.

Right, Seymore got his ass chewed out in front of the cameras and ignored the questions about it the next day...OK then
That's not at all what I was referring to.
I realize you're new here, so you probably weren't around for it. But Seymour was also excoriated here for being lazy and slacking off after signing his contract, when in reality he was just crippled by injury. His play last season, while healthy, is testament to that fact.
I believe Armen's nickname for him was Big Poo$ey, or something along those lines.
Lastly, you may want to spend less time with the eye rolls and more time thinking out your arguments.
