With the "it's only his second year excuse" for Maroney you once again fall flat on your face.

You are laughable with how you cherry pick your numbers. TOTALLY LAUGHABLE. First you mention James during the Colts great year and Peyton putting up 48 TDs, then you switch it to his 2nd year as if that makes them comparable. It doesn't.
Then, you mention Faulk during the Rams great run, but then change your tune to his 2nd year, which was when he was on the COLTS. Faulk had to carry that team because all they had was Harbaugh and 2 no names. They also didn't have the WRs the Pats have.
Same with Dillon. 1st you say the 2004 Dillon and then you switch to Dillon's 2nd year, which was with the Bengals. You do realize that Dillon had to carry that team because they went through 4 QBs, right?
Sorry, but I haven't fallen flat on my face. But you are too ignorant to understand that.
Again, NONE of them were coming off a major SHOULDER SURGERY. So, please, make sure you have an idea of what you are talking about.
Also, lets look at some other things.
Indy's record during James 2nd year. 10-6. And the Colts didn't have any other quality running backs to speak of. They ran a 1 back system.
Oh so now it's the Wide Receivers' fault?
James had a healthy Marvin Harrison in his prime and Reggie Wayne on the SAME team.
Faulk had a healthy Isaac Bruce in his prime and Torry Holt on the SAME team.
Again this argument fails to hold water given any kind of factual investigation.

Man, you just love jumping to idiotic half-ass conclusions, don't you? Where did I say it was the receivers fault? Hmm? What? Can't find it? Yeah, that's right. You can't because I didn't say it.
What I said, idiot, was that the RECEIVERS got more reps than the RBs did. That doesn't make it their FAULT. That is just the facts that the offenses you mentioned were predicated on a SINGLE RB system with a couple of great receivers. The Pats don't use a SINGLE RB. The Pats started the year with 3 different backs. Maroney as the Primary. Morris as the short-yardage/#2, and Faulk as the 3rd down back.
Sorry, nothing about my argument fails to hold water. You only claim it does because you insist on making assumptions about what is being said.
Oh so now we pull out the injury excuse. So which is it? Is Maroney injury prone or not? How do you explain the lack of production otherwise in such a potent offense? You can't because it is what it is. Maroney has an easy way to silence critics, PRODUCE. All we've heard are your convenient excuses which hold no water once we look at the simple facts.
Well, nothing about injuries is black and white. And your pathetic attempt to say that it is shows your lack of cognitive ability in general.
Maroney isn't injury prone. He's had 2 injuries. His ribs and shoulder and then the injury this year.
So far, the "critics" have proven themselves to be know-nothing imbeciles who attempt to put a square peg in a round hole and insist their arguments have vailidity because they cherry-pick stats and ignore other salient facts.
Sorry, but there are no excuses coming from me. I deal with REALITY. Unlike YOU, who cherry-picks stats and just flat out lies about what people are saying.
