We may add a FB, but I think Maroney, Taylor, Faulk and Morris are all here.
May be easy to say but a lot of people seem to think otherwise.yeah...they are all here right now......that's easy to say

They were all injured in 2009. A year older is not as important as being healthy. None of the injuries were age induced.basically 2009 results with everyone a year older........they are a year away from having all of them be gone.......the need to replace 1 or 2 bodies now.......
that said, the most important position is faulk's heir apparent.......they need someone who can train to do what he does..........the others are basically '3 yards and a cloud of dust' guys........being fully integrated into the passing game is a little more prep
I honestly don't want Maroney either. But trading him presents a problem.
Morris and Taylor won't start, too old and too much mileage. Do you trust a rookie to be the starter from day one?
A risky RB core, but a fresh start could be:
1. Rookie
2. BJGE
3. Faulk (3rd down back)
Two young guys and reliable Faulk. If Maroney can get a 3rd, I'd trade him.
If you don't want Maroney, why would you want Morris? Morris is hurt more and doesn't run nearly as well. His ypc is inflated by long runs on draw plays and he STILL doesn't have a decent average.Agreed. I don't want Maroney on the roster either. I'll take, Rookie, Taylor, Faulk, Morris, and BJGE.
I'm not totally sold on BB 'giving up' on Maroney, as some think.
Not "totally sold" is an interesting way to put it. Anyone who thinks Maroney is even close to the chopping block simply has not followed the Patriots well. The only way Maroney is possibly not here next year is if a team offers a trade they can't refuse.
Maroney and Faulk are locks.
It pisses me off the people that subscribe to the year older garbage. Whilst you might be a year older, you'll always have what the rookies don't... experience.
Age is no measure of performance in my book. If you're playing well you're playing well.
