One more thing...More like the next Peter Faulk for receiving.
Why is it a joke?
We have a decent amount of evidence to support the opinion Michel doesn't have a feel for the passing game.
Sweet Feet had 40 catches his second year.Then by this metric, James White should never have amounted to anything. He was non-existent in our passing game for his first two years on the team.
While Michael may not currently have a feel for the game, the OP is saying he never will.
And that is why I asked him if his post was a joke.
That's my point... Faulk in his first two years had 9 fumbles. 9.

Imagine how this board would be treating any RB today who had that many in that period of time. Heck, after two fumbles, the sharks would be circling.
And yet, BB hung with him, and it paid off. My point is that I hope BB and Brady do the same for Sony in the passing game, as I believe it can have a similar payoff.
It's fine to hope for improvement, and I hope that all Patriots fans are doing that, but the Faulk comparison is a bad one.
You explained it fine.Perhaps I wasn’t clear enough. I am not comparing Sony to Faulk in terms of pass catching. I’m comparing them in that they both have/had a major flaw in their game. BB let Faulk improve his fumble flaw... I’m hoping he gives Sony the same chance to improve his pass catching flaw. Hope that clears it up. Me talk bad.

Less ability than BJGE. That is rich.Sony doesn't have just one flaw right now. He's not doing much of anything right, at the moment. He'll get time, because of both his draft status and the roster composition. But, if you're looking for RB comparisons, right now, he's pretty much just BJGE with less ability/willingness to avoid negative plays.
Sony is looking like he’s taking the career path of Cadillac Williams. Did not expect this happening.
Why are we even debating this, James White is by far the best catching RB and 3rd down back we have.

Did he really? I had no idea. Michael now has 9 catches this year, which is certainly not ideal. But, he does have the skillset to play a role in the passing game. He should be more involved than he has been, that much is damn sure. But, to say that we've seen his ceiling in the passing game is just not accurate.
Yep. Wouldn't lie to you bro. White's 1st year he did zip but 2nd year emerged.Did he really? I had no idea. Michael now has 9 catches this year, which is certainly not ideal.

Sony looks more like BJGE than Maroney. Neither do anything spectacular, but they won’t mess they game up for you. Maroney had the worst vision for a RB I’ve ever seen. It was amazing how many times he ran straight into a pile when he could’ve easily bounced outside. He was pile magnet.Sony = Maroney
Faulk was a 3rd down and change of pace RB. Later in the game when the defense was getting tired is when he did his damage.
Sony looks tired all 4 quarters. He has no power. Where Maroney danced Sony stops in his tracks.
