That shows immense Class, Manx. I'm very gratefull.
Perhaps we can start over with a clean slate.
I agree, that does show class. And from you too, OTG for pointing that out.
We can and will talk and debate who BB is targeting or going to pick over and over for the next 3 weeks, but at the end of the day only one man's opinion will matter anyway, so it's pointless for anyone to get into a pissing match etc.
I believe that we're all hardcore Pats fans--on the boards at 5am, in the beginning of April, and in the middle of a lockout to boot!! We are all going to have lots of different opinions on how we measure targeted players, and whether or not they'd be upgrades or potential busts.
In the bigger picture of it, I'd much rather stay cool with just about everyone here than really care one way or another to be completely honest with you. We all should trust in Belichick, and look forward to another great season.
Whether or not Mark freaking Ingram has the potential to be better than BJGE, I truly have no idea? BJGE's ball security skills are very important, and DaBruinz makes a great point. I also believe that he is slower, as another poster pointed out, more of a plodder (as BB even points out) who needs more blocking. Ingram or better yet, Leshoure--can possibly give us more breakaway speed and be a potential RB1, but as Dabruinz points out--at what cost? We could go round and round with this for weeks in my opinion. There will always be 2 different opinions and likely no clear cut answer.
