but me. i was the lone voice on this board last season saying he's not a true #1 back, and he's not. what he is, is a backup back to occasionally spot the real starter, and also return some kicks. he doesn't have power to get through the line, and he doesn't have lateral speed to get outside the tackle. stop pretending he's something he isn't, it only hurts the team. this franchise did not become great holding false assumptions, like bledsoe should start over brady. just like last off season we went out and got real WRs, we need to do some thing this off season to get a real starting RB.
anyone know who the promising draft or free agents are?
Pioli and BB are clueless when it comes to talent evaluation. Heck the colts were throwing a curveball saying that Maroney was their first choice over Addai.
Should've selected Stephen Jackson a couple years ago, oooops he's hurt.
Should've taken Chris Perry couple yrs ago, oooops he's been a bust
Should've taken Kevin Jones, ooooops he's made of glass.
Should've taken Cadillac Williams, oooops he's got a torn acl
Should've traded up for Cedric Benson, oooops he's done nothing being #4pick
Should treaded up for Ronnie Brown, oooops done nothing and hurt
Should've taken DeAngelo Williams in '06 , ooops done nothing
Shoud've traded entire '07 draft to Vikes for Adrian Peterson
Should've signed E. James to monster FA contract, ooops done nothing in AZ
Should've offered $$ to Tiki barber, ooops he's retired
Should've offered $$ to Travis Henry, ooops he's done - steroids suspension
Now, real man of genius, can you tell us what other draft or FA you would like to add which is a "REAL" RB ? The likes of
It's ok to dump on Maroney, but give the kid a break, he's in his 2nd yr ! He's still learning how to be a RB in Pats system. Furthermore, the Pats changed to a Zone blocking scheme this yr
Does it ever register in numnuts like you that the FO and coach is taking a cautious approach with LM ? What counts is that your injured players are ready for post season (Look at '07 Sox). FO got Sammy Morris, but unfortunately he got hurt. That's life.....injuries are part of the game. Some players get hurst more often than others, just bad luck.
We want LM to be ready in Dec and Jan. It means nothing right now as we are steamrolling the opposition.
I'm sick of fans just want to crap over a player. Now if LM had not been hurt, and played same # games as Addai, there would be no noise coming. The fact is he has a role in our system. If in another 2 yrs he has done nothing then yea, cut your losses and move on. But to sour on a player in his 2nd yr is ridiculous !
I suppose guys like you would've cut Brady, Troy Brown, Wes Welker, Wilfork, Warren in their 2nd yrs as they had done nothing till then.
