Running, catching , td's, short yardage you name it.
Btw td's mean everything. Are you slow?
oh Addai tore us apart because we MISSED tackles. Take away the 73 yard catch and run where he did nothing but run and give 1 little stutter step, and he looked average
what did he do in 2nd half? He didnt tear us up..our D tore itself up. Maroney cant do that? did u watch the Redskins game? Did you watch Bills game..Bengals game last year?
Oh so now its only because we missed tackles. Pretty sure that what good running backa make people do.
I love Sammy Morris. He would be a perfect compliment to a actual star rb. So far Maroney has dissapointed.

so i guess Kenny Watson, Wright, Chatman and those backup RBs that ran all over us are just good runners
btw, its funny how Kenton Keith has a better value per play, and success rate than Addai.
look who Morris played well against: Browns & Bengals. go find their run D rank.
against Dallas..nothing till he got hurt. Maroney played Redskins D..which was top 5, same with Colts..Dolphins D was better aswell than the other 2 that Morris ran all over
So if all these crappy backs are tearing it up why cant Maroney?

TDs are a heavily situational statistic. This year, we've had absolutely no problems passing for TD's. If we were playing on a team that couldn't pass at the goalline I imagine you'd see Maroney with a whole lot of TDs.
they tore our D up. not rest of the league.
u think a RB is responsible for everything once he touches the ball
think about blocking, gameplan, injuries, etc
im pretty sure Maroney would've went over 150 against Redskins if we kept handing it off. We are a passing team. He only got like 14 carries for 75 yards
we dont feed the ball to our RBs over and over like other teams do. Maroney does what hes asked.
4.7 ypc..what else do u want? Thats the same as Addai. Why is Addai considered better than? Because hes gotten the ball nearly twice as many times.
Football Outsiders has him as the 9th best back in the NFL this year.
Their rational is, forgive me the slight, a bit more advanced than the ones that have been bandied about in here.

They also have Kenton Keith #8... Those rankings are basically worthless.
Except when considering that Keith has played that well. But then, yours are much better.
Those rankings are obviously seriously flawed.
Are you going to sit here and tell me with a straight face that Derrick Ward is a better RB than Clinton Portis or Willie Parker??
Come'on man...
Parker, of the 4.1 YPC? He has two TDs and two fumbles...the type of stats you would be crying about if it were Maroney.
Yes, Ward has been better. Higher YPC, same number of TD's, longer season high run, more catches.
Portis has been decidedly mediocre as well. He has a lower YPC than Ward, lower longest run, fewer 20+ runs on more carries....the only reason he looks respectable is the huge game he had against the Jets.
In 2004 when Satan Manning broke the TD record, James rushed for over 1500yrds and 9 Td's. (BTW: 4.6ypc. is about what should be expected of a RB playing on a team with a dangerous passing game.)
The Dolts had no problem passing on the goaline that year either, so that "excuse" is pretty weak.
You guys make sound as though Lo-Mo hasnt had any opportunites to get into the pay dirt this season. That just isnt true; the fact is he just hasn’t made them pay off (yet).
Let’s dive into the numbers after the first 3 games of the season (before he was hurt) for a closer look… .
If you really think that Ward is a better RB than Clinton Portis or Willie Parker... all I can say is WOW.
No point in discussing this any further with you. Everyone is entitled to their own opinion. If you REALLY believe that (I doubt it) more power to you.
Is it now safe to say that we took the wrong RB last year? Does anyone wonder why BB and co. had Maroney rated higher than Joe Addai?
Imagine how much MORE ridiculous this offense would be right now with Addai in our backfield?
Don’t get me wrong... LM has shown some flashes, but if im being honest with myself, I have to admit that Addai looks to be the MUCH better back.
I know the YPC are similar and LM has missed allot of time with injuries, but im just going by what my eyes tell me.
Thoughts??
He's having a better season statistically. What are we supposed to go on, how many trading cards you have of these guys? How many games have you seen them play?
Did Portis impress you when we played them? He's a shell of his former self.
