Let's Put An End To the Maroney Madness(X3 Merged)

Re: Honestly, can we now all agree that Maroney is NOT the answer as an every down ba

LOL! I know because 22 year-old backs have never succeeded in this league. Get a clue MORON.

*ROFLMAO* NONE of your examples have shown a 22 year old back being on a team that has a prolific passing game meeting your outrageously unrealistic expectations.

Unlike YOU, I have a clue and realize that a 22 year old back with only 3 years of college experience whose O-line is still getting the new blocking system down will NOT have as good a year as a guy who has 5 years of college ball experience and whose O-line has been playing the same run blocking scheme for at least 5 years.

You can call me a moron all you want. But reality is that I've clearly shown myself to have significantly better understanding of the Maroney situation than you.

Dabruinz calling everyone idiots, morons, loser and spinning into a rage again. Great work keeping it fair with the rules of the board mods

Lies, lies and more lies from Danny.

1) I'm not calling everyone idiots, morons and losers.
2) There is no rage here. That is only your idiocy speaking because you can't fathom anything else.
3) If the mods were to keep it fair, you'd be gone for SPAMMING the thread with your stupidty.

BTW, Its not an insult if its the truth.

Oh I see so people who do not think Maroney is a good back should be gone for posting about it in a MARONEY thread.

HAHAH , great laugh.

ROTFLMAO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! So Peterson would be absent from the gameplan like Maroney????????? LOL!!!! Wow, dude, you lose all credibility right there. Turn off the computer because it's time for you go to bed. It's bed time Billy.

Yes. Peterson would be. Or did you not see him against the lowly 49ers?

Guess you need to wake up and realize that YOU are the one without the credibility.

The Pats game plan is the Pats gameplan.

Hell, the Pats only ran the ball 8 times against Minnesota last year before they had the game in hand.. And that was with Maroney and Dillon.

Yet, your small mind can't comprehend how the Pats wouldn't run the ball against a good run defense.

Sammy Morris.

He was running great and I firmly believe he would have taken the #1 spot before too long.

His loss hurt more than we thought.

Granted, we're winning, so it's all good, but at some point, we're gonna need to be able to run the clock and grind out first downs on the ground.

Maroney gets 8 carries because he is ineffective.

I can think of another 10-12 plays where I am sure they would have run if they had confidence in their back. Instead, they went to screens.

What amazes me about the Pats is that they can be effective in play action without having a running threat.

Think about that for a second.

That's pretty awesome!

"Maroney gets 8 carries because he is ineffective."

Armen....Maroney is obviously not the ONLY one responsible when the running game isn't effective......OBVIOUSLY it starts with the Offensive Linemen...who for whatever reason are great in pass blocking and protection, but are unable to open a hole for our RB'S to save their friggin lives....pointing the finger only at LoMo is ridiculous.....

Secondly....the reason he only ran 8 carries is because a) the steelers run defense is incredible.....and b) They didn't NEED to run because they were passing effectively and at will.........

I think Maroney is still in the "learning" stages and will eventually be a tremendous offensive weapon for us.....will he be and every down back for us? That has yet to be determined.....GO PATS!

Re: Honestly, can we now all agree that Maroney is NOT the answer as an every down ba

Anyone who understands anything about football knew that the Patriots would not be running the ball yesterday. As a matter of fact, I'd pointed this out in at least one thread prior to the game. However, the notion that Maroney was in any way a negative yesterday is so absurd that you should take a bow. You do realize that the play action fake for the big bomb worked because of Maroney's 11 yard gain earlier, right?

It's simply fascinating to watch people who claim to be fans fail to grasp the obvious about this team. Let me spell it out for you and the rest of the Maroney bashers:

1.) Tom Brady = Greatest quarterback ever

2.) Randy Moss = All but unstoppable one-on-one

3.) Donte Stallworth = Tremendous YAC receiver

4.) Wes Welker = The NFL's best slot receiver

5.) Kevin Faulk = Maybe the league's best 3rd down back

6.) Ben Watson = A matchup nightmare for opposing coaches


An offense with that lineup is going to pass the ball a lot. An offense with that lineup, that is going for at least 3 records (QB TDs, WR TDs, Yards), is going to pass the ball even more, especially against good run defenses. In fact, let me give you a news flash:

New England is probably going to try getting Brady and Moss their respective records this week. You should expect to see a great deal of passing this weekend as well.

What about Gaffney???????

To Da Bruinz, NSA is obviously NOT a Pats fan,he seems more like a troll from indy,or the rats. Why spend so much time trying to reason with him. Its like trying to reason with Aqwaah,but at least aqwaah is up front you know what team he's for.

Cause I enjoy troll bashing... I enjoy watching the trolls whine and complain about their "rights" even though their whole reason for being here violates the TOU.

 

[DaBruinz]

Re: Honestly, can we now all agree that Maroney is NOT the answer as an every down ba

I'm not a pats fan? I know more about the pats than DaBruinz could ever dream of knowing. Puhleaze. Don't talk to me about Patriots football.

Sure you do. You sure haven't shown it. In fact, you've shown that a single hair on my arm has more knowledge of the Pats than you do.

Re: Honestly, can we now all agree that Maroney is NOT the answer as an every down ba

I was sure he was drafted way to high. the guy is a total bust. He is Kevin Faulk but not as effective.


Maroney was drafted to high to. I didnt want to draft him either. I liked Barber better!

Could you post all those "Bush will be a bust" posts you made, please? After you do, could you also get PatsfaninPa, NSA and VCSPatriots to do the same?

Re: Honestly, can we now all agree that Maroney is NOT the answer as an every down ba

Ok, do me a favor. Put me on your ignore list because you are now on mine. You guys are quick to cast judgement on ANYONE who dares disagree with your opinions. How me not liking Maroney automatically makes me a Pats hater and troll is beyond me. I guess that's how homers like you think. Anyway, put me on your ignore list. Your posts are boring and useless. Sort of like LoMo's game.

I let you hang yourself. If you had a brain, you'd know that I didn't start trashing you until after I tried reasoning with you and you proved you were incapable of any rational thought processes. Same with Danny.

Why don't you do everyone a favor and ask Ian to delete your account. Then we don't have to worry about your idiocy and you ruining the boards with your illogical trolling.

Re: Honestly, can we now all agree that Maroney is NOT the answer as an every down ba

I thought the question was whether he is an effective back, not whether he was a good draft value.

Re: Honestly, can we now all agree that Maroney is NOT the answer as an every down ba

I look at the stats you provide and the one thing that leaps out at me is number of carries. If you take his average yards per carry and expand it out to 25 carries a game, it averages out to almost 80 yards a game. Now bear in mind that this is using the very small sample of carries (only 10 a game on average.) The average could be much higher if he had more opportunities. Regardless, 80 ypg while not mind blowing is certainly not bad.

can't go with "What if's" Prime.......it is what it is.....and it isn't pretty....that having been said.....it is not all Maroney's fault...it starts with the OL.....

Re: Honestly, can we now all agree that Maroney is NOT the answer as an every down ba

Maybe the 70% is his "opinion" just like it is your "opinion"(not a FACT) that Adrian Peterson would NOT be in the gameplan like LoMo wasn't in Buffalo, LOL!!!!

Maroney was in the game plan in Buffalo. I guess you didn't watch the game. However, when the team is up 35-7 at the half, there is no reason to run Maroney and risk injury to him. Not when you have no reliable back-up to him who could step in if Maroney went down.

NSA, your train of thought is 1+1=3.

Mine is that 1+1+1=3.

Adrian Peterson would not have been in the game plan against the Steelers, Ravens and Eagles the same way that Maroney was. All you have to do is look at the Pats history against good running defenses and you'd know this to be true.

 

[DaBruinz]

Re: Honestly, can we now all agree that Maroney is NOT the answer as an every down ba

I have no use for you. Add me to your ignore list. You are on mine.

So, NSA. Instead of being a MAN and stepping up to answer what was asked of you. You take the chickensh!t approach and run away. Great.

 

[DaBruinz]

Re: Honestly, can we now all agree that Maroney is NOT the answer as an every down ba

LOL! I'll be at the game sunday. Meet me and we'll talk, I promise.

Sorry, but I live in Dallas.. But I was raised in New England and have followed the Pats since 1982.

As for meeting you, even if I did, you'd couldn't be a man and take your medicine. You'd be a pus$y and try and start a fight because you can't accept that you are wrong.

.

I don't follow. Following this line of reasoning, Matt Cassell should be able to step in for an injured Tom Brady - must be because Brady stayed in that game.

Coming to the conversation a bit late. Look back at the previous posts.

Re: Honestly, can we now all agree that Maroney is NOT the answer as an every down ba

I'd love to know just how high NSA, Danny88 and the rest of the clowns were on the mighty Reggie when he was in the draft. I'm sure that each and every one of them were positive that he was going to be a bust.

You insinuated I was a fan of Bush. Said you would love to see how I felt about Reggie. Fact is I have never said a word about Reggie and or Mcfadden.

Hey MORON. he didn't INSINUATE you were a fan of Bush. He wanted to know what your OPINION was. This is what people refer to when they say you have a lack of reading comprehension.

I also do not want to draft Mcfadden.

Stop making things up. After the season we will see who was right about slo mo.

How you just follow your own advice.

DaBruinz, give the keyboard rest. Good lord. You are going on almost 9000 posts, LOL! Good lord. Get out of the house once in awhile. Open up the blinds. Get some sun. Save some energy, as I'm sure Maroney will need your excuses again this week when he give us some more of his customary sorry arse play.

Too bad that Marion Barber wasn't drafted in the same year as Maroney. There you go with facts getting in your way.

To have gotten Barber, the Pats would have to NOT drafted Nick Kaczur.

Who would be the Pats starting RT now?
