Here's the problem, you're saying "Well, Faulk could have done the same with those receptions" but it wasn't Kevin Faulk, it was Laurence Maroney, and the fact that Faulk can make those plays shouldn't take away from the fact that again it was in fact Maroney who made them. Do you get the point here? I don't see any Faulk detractors saying "yea, Faulk made a nice play, but was that really a play Maroney couldn't have made?".
I also don't see many people actually harping on Faulk for going out of bounds before the first down marker (even though it was an obvious mistake), and I don't see that many people getting on him for dropping an easy reception that likely could have made the comeback easier. At least not to the degree some posters have harped on Maroney for his play, even when it's not bad. Emagine if that had been Maroney who dropped that pass?
See, there's a double standard concerning players around here, and frankly it's somewhat pathetic. Why can't people simply say Maroney had a good game considering he put up 123 total offensive yards? Faulk puts up half that total, and people will be on here talking about how good he played, and how important he is to the offense. I agree that Faulk is very important to the offense right now, but there is an obvious double standard regarding this subject.
