OT: Just wanted to say that I wish I'd come up with that screen name.

Addai clearly outplayed him down the stretch..
I think he is.
Also this offseason he gets a chance to go thru a reall NFL offseason workout regimin which should do wonders for his strength and that should help him be ready to carry that load.
Corey is my favorite RB ever but having Maroney makes his leaving easier to handle.
here is hoping Corey stays out of the AFC East as I dont want to face him twice a year.
Yeah, but how much of that has to do with the way teams play D against the run for the Pats and Colts respectively. Addai might've struggled in our offense and Maroney might've flourished for the Colts, I don't think it's a fair comparison.
No one is saying Addai is going to be better than Maroney down the line; Addai did look better in the second half of the season though in on field ability and execution. In terms of statistics, I agree, they go out the window with the Colts.
I think Addai is the better player right now in his system, but Maroney I think would be doing better in that same system.
I agree. For one thing, most every successful NFL team these days is going with 2 backs sharing time, rather than one feature back. So I would really like to see the Patriots bring in another guy that could give Maroney some rest (and not just on third downs, like Faulk).
Yeah, I might agree with that. Maroney is an animal with the ball in his hands, and Bush hasn't shown he can be a consistent running threat.
Before the story on Dillon broke I was stating that we needed to draft a day 1 RB. Obviously, unless something happens in free agency I still hold to my previous opinion and in fact would go 2nd or 3rd round for the right back.
I really don't care how "ready" Maroney is or isn't, I don't think the Pats can afford to go into the season with Maroney/Faulk/JAG at RB. The Pats are not set....they need another good back....don't care how they get him.
