3. I think Woodhead is a fine player. I don't however think he's particularly special and I think we've seen the best we'll ever see out of him. I do not think Demps is someone who'll automatically be an upgrade to Woodhead but I see a much higher ceiling in Demps. I do not think we should be packing Woodhead off automatically, I was just making the original point that questioning his long-term viability on the roster was not a question of wanting to play with "shiny new toys" but that there was a legitimate roster debate to be had in terms of his longer term viability.
4/ I agree on Vereen. I was one of his biggest fans leading up to the draft. But we haven't seen an ability to carry a significant burden from him yet.
Well...yeah.
No offense, but...It's called "Depth", Brother Manx.
Don't you suppose that if we'd had a substantial substitute for Gronkowski around, last Winter, we might've won our 4th Super Bowl??
I do.
Depth of Talent, Baby.
First it was Edelman, then McCourty, then its Welker, and now its Woodhead. Why is it that we have so many posters who just can't wait to throw some player under the bus as soon as they have something less than a HOF game.
Danny Woodhead has averaged 5ypc over the course of his 2+ yrs as a Patriot. He catches the ball well. Blocks as well as he can for his size in protection, and plays well on special teams from returns to coverage. Yup, sounds like a perfect candidate for the head hunter's mafia go after next
Maybe the Patriots will trade Ridley, Woody, and the entire fired scouting staff to the Cowboys for Demarco Murray.

short of cloning Gronk, I don't see how it's possible to have someone who can do the things that he does
Can we please stop mentioning Demps name. He is not going to play this year and he CAN'T play this year. So stop bringing it up.
Why? Does the world end after this season?
For this season Demps means nothing. Why would they try to phase Woodhead out when he cheap and a UFA after this season.
You honestly believe that Demps was close to beating out Woodhead? Based on what, getting like 5 snaps in the 4th quarter of week 3? Like 10 snaps in week 4 before getting injured in a game that starters didn't play?
