He is smoking crack if he thinks he was hitting 100yds vs the NYG in SB42. 8 of his 14 carries went for 1yard or less.

Giants had nothing to worry about.

While he looked like if Stevie Wonder was playing RB at times, he did get a pretty raw deal in NE. Way too many times he was set up to fail in obvious running formations with a very weak run blocking line and would get waived off the field if he didn’t get a big gain. They forced him into be being a Corey Dillon or pre LaGarrette Blount type back which Bill laughably tried to do again with Mike Gillislee. The lack of patience for the ground game with Maroney was annoying.

And he ran very hard on that Super Bowl when he got the ball. He would've had a decent game had they committed more to the Giants over pursuing front 7.

His running mate Marion Barber was much better also stronger runner what could have been.

He developed shoulder injuries, if not for that he may have been better.

Once he started avoiding contact his career was over.

There is always a career as a dancing bear with the Russian circus Mr Lawrence.

According to Ring Andy 6 it was.

So do I Laurence. So do I.

Came here just to post nearly the exact same thing. Thank you for your service—and on the 1st thread reply at that!

why is Maroney bringing this up NOW? what's the point...it was a thousand years ago... I saw every game he ever played...he started out his career looking the part. hurt one shoulder then the other..turned into a bowling pin. It definitely wasn't his legs or lower body...I think he became gunshy

Rookie Maroney was actually exciting to watch, but maybe it's because I was 11.

 

[VectorPrime]

He was terrific in 2007, people forget this. Going down with a season ending injury in 2008 is what screwed him up.

Just like with Sony Michel, I was thrilled when the Pats drafted Laurence Maroney. And both times, wound up disappointed.
