Re: Merriweather
Exactly. His ability wasn't ever a question ,or much of one, until he got here. It's been his (perceived by some) disappointing play. He backs up Rodney, and if anyone thinks Rodney's an easy act to follow just doesn't get it.
No matter how you feel about that issue, it's still a bit early to start calling him the B word.
I was one of those posters. I didn't think Meriweather was even on our board. No one questioned Meriweather's ability. It was his character that was in question. In recent years, the patriots have stayed away from drafting players with perceived character issues.
I would mention that he was a first round choice. For him to be a solid backup in his second season is just what we should expect. Some expected much more.
