And McFadden does not draw attention either?
McFadden doesn't draw near the attention that Moss does and you damn well know it.
2) McFadden and Maroney are very similar players. McFadden is NOT a power runner. Read that again. Now, read it AGAIN. McFadden is NOT a power runner. McFadden wouldn't replace Morris because Morris is significantly more of a power runner than McFadden (which isn't saying much).
Morris isnt a powerback, he was a scrub free agent pickup that played well nothing more. McFadden is ten times the player Morris is and would upgrade him in a millisecond. Morris runs hard but he is nothing special, McFaddens game is different just like Maroneys, they dont have to be powerbacks to be good.
Please continue to show how friggin ignorant you are. Morris is more of a powerback than McFadden is. McFadden isn't anything more special than Maroney. That's your problem. Hell, McFadden will be lucky to be this year's Reggie Bush.
And, while they don't have to be powerbacks, moron, You need to have differences between your backs. It keeps the defense off balance.
3) While Maroney doesn't see the field all the time now, you are saying to put him on the bench permanently by drafting McFadden. Not in so many words, but you are.
Where did i say that? I said they would split carries, a two back system which the pats like to run. McFadden would replace Morris but who knows maybe Maroney would end up the backup in the end. Maroney already sees the bench a ton with Faulk coming in, and Faulk is getting old. Dont see anything changing much if they drafted McFadden they would mix it up with all the backs.
God, you truly are ignorant. The moment you put McFadden on the field, Maroney is WASTING on the bench. Maroney wasn't seeing the bench nearly as much near the end of the season, idiot. Not to mention that the game plans were different for the last games than they were for the games against Philly, Pittsburgh, and Baltimore
You don't see anything changing because your myopic and can't see beyond your nose. Faulk may be "getting old" but he still put up over 4 YPC (4.3 to be exact) on the run and still picked up 47 receptions.
4) It would be different because they've already spent a first round draft choice (just 2 years ago) on a top flight running back. Name me ONE other team that has used a 1st round pick within 3 years of eachother on RBs while the 1st RB was still on the team.
It comes down to BPA imo, RB isnt the top need but it can be upgraded and you dont pass on a stud if there are no other studs in areas of higher need. Like i said before if Rey Maualuga was on the board with McFadden id take him over McFadden because we have a greater need at LB. I dont see a LB or CB worth taking over McFadden.
And this is why you you are ignorant. It doesn't come down to BPA. The Pats have NEVER drafted BPA nor are they going to start just because YOU think they will take an over-rated McFadden who has issues picking up the blitz and holding onto the ball. Not to mention hitting the holes when he's supposed to.
As for Rey Maualuga, would you please stop. There is NO guarantee that the Patriots would be looking at HIM either.
Also, since you are so damn ignorant, there is a great likelihood of the Patriots trading down and picking up another player. Another player, added in with a CB, will have significantly more value than the over-rated McFadden.
Briz, you clearly don't see it from the ENTIRE picture. You see it from your own little myopic wet dream. OOOO.. lets get McFadden so I can fantasize about him... That is the difference between YOU and 90% of the other posters here. They take a much BIGGER view of the situation.[/I]
Actually i know the pats needs quite well and am pretty good at evaluating prospects. I dont go on hype and am not just saying to take McFadden because hes a sexy pick. He is a damn good football player that makes others around him better, he has elite competativness and would improve our team greatly. You take him because hes the best player availible by a large margin if he were at that pick. We have more pressing needs but the value is not there and could be filled later on or in free agency.
Sorry Briz, you continue to show you AREN'T good at evaluating prospects and that you don't understand JACK about the Patriots and how they draft. So, Please keep your spewings to yourself about McFadden already and just deal with the REALITY that the Patriots won't be drafting him.
Yes, you DO go on hype. And McFadden is proof positive of that. He DID NOT make the other players around him better. He doesn't have ELITE competitiveness, and would NOT improve the Patriots offense worth a damn. You don't take him because he's the best player available, because he wouldn't necessarily be the best player available.
BTW, There isn't squat available for CBs and LBs in free agency beyond Bruschi and Seau that would work well in the Pats system except maybe Victor Hobson. So, that kind of shoots down that dumb theory of yours. Like I said, you don't look at the big picture. You look at your myopic view.
His best reasons to expend a pick on McFadden are: he's got "it" and that two role playing running backs are over thirty. :bricks: Great idea, he's persuaded me.
