Its the truth and no one wants to hear it. Comparing guys like Steve Jackson and Gore to Maroney is silly. They are HORSES who have much more chance of injury becuse they actually carry the ball a lot.
Maroney has all the talent in the world. He needs to stay healthy.
Umm...Frank Gore tore up both of his knees before. Once, he did it in spring practice after a winter of no football, disrupting the long-standing myth that RB's only injure themselves after a certain number of carries.

I can't totally disagree with you here Dan, and you make a fair point. He has not had a ton of carries by any means....but does seem to have some durability issues in his career thus far....I don' think this is an unfair statement.....but am sure that alot will :0)
I have a Maroney jersey. I love the kid. This is not a personal thing. But the harsh reality is the kid is hurt a lot. Like you said I am just making imo a fair point.
I think he could have played if needed. But looking at cincy's defense BB probably figured he didn't need him,and thought it was better to give him the night off.
Close to being activated? What, did they write the first half of his first name on the active line up sheet, then use white out? Did they have him put his thigh pads on, but then stop him when he got to the shoulders? How does one get "close to activated"?
Who needs him, we have Super Sammy Morris. That MOFO is like a train coming through the line. I love the way he runs.

On Morris' TD run, I thought I saw a faster Corey. Go Pats:rocker:
Conversely, he stuck it out last year with an injury most fans not only fail to recognize the severity of, but would be unable to walk with.
We're stacked this year. RB is essentially a position that his stabbed, shot, and kicked on every play. It's a concern when RB gets hurt, sure. We're lacking Seymour and Rodney on D. Do we miss them? Most folks (not PatsFans crazies) prolly haven't even noticed.
Maroney is a human. He has a heart and lungs just like everyone else. Are you trying to say maroney had an injury that would render a normal man unable to walk, but he could play rb in the nfl?
