Lots of variables. For example, both Bolden and Demps are under the Pats' control for three more seasons, so if either of them turns into a big-time player, then it would probably make the Pats more willing to let Ridley or Vereen go, respectively.
Ridley, Vereen, Bolden, Woodhead, Demps I wouldn't trade those for any team's RB corps
I'd trade them all for Doug Martin.
OMG! Did it leave a scar?
Hey, don't get me wrong, Ridley's good but the rest are replaceable. Doug Martin on the other hand is having a rookie season only surpassed by Edgerrin James and Eric ****erson.
He's the real deal.
You didn't answer my question. Did it leave a scar? Because obviously you were kicked in the head by a mule. No sane person would ever spout such gibberish.
I'd trade them all for Doug Martin.
So if Greg Schiano called tomorrow you don't think BB should accept the trade. That's fair enough I suppose, a little moronic but hey ho!
You see if it was me, I'd take the trade, draft Tavon Austin in the first next April (who can replace all Demps', Vereen's and even Woodhead's snaps and still add a couple of UDFA's.
You think our offense is good now.
BTW, thinking that trade is bad is like a Bengals fan saying they wouldn't trade Dalton for Luck. But if that's your approach then perhaps you need a mule to kick some sense in to you.
If this is how you think then you are rooting for the wrong team, because this team happens to believe that depth is extremely important. Doug Martin has 4.8 ypc, Ridley has 4.6. Do you really think that extra .2 ypc is worth trading all of the depth that Bolden, Vereen, Woodhead, and Demps provide? What if he gets hurt? Heck, what if he needs a breather?
Also, yeah Martin has more big play ability than Ridley, but we don't need tons of big plays out of the running game. We need consistency, we need to keep the defense honest, and we need to keep the offense on schedule with regards to down and distance. If the running game does those things, Brady is more than capable of points on the board. So no, I honestly don't think that Martin would help the offense all that much anyway.
